How to keep healthy in summer, eight essential knowledge for keeping healthy in summer

Health preservation is seasonal. Different seasons have different climates and environments, so the health preservation methods in different seasons are also different. In summer, health preservation should pay attention to strengthening the spleen and removing moisture, clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, and nourishing the lungs and kidneys. How should health preservation be done in summer?

1: In summer, we think that eating cold food can cool us down, but we ignore that the body temperature is even higher (sometimes up to 37 degrees). If you suddenly drink ice water, your internal organs will not be able to bear it. To cool down and calm your nerves, you may drink chrysanthemum tea, honeysuckle tea, mung bean soup or fruits with high water content. However, people with cold stomachs should drink less and drink more boiled water. People with hot and weak constitutions may eat Tremella, lotus seeds or lilies to cool down and replenish qi.

1: What should we eat to maintain good health in summer? In hot summer, the diet should be light, soft and easy to digest. Eat less high-fat, heavy and spicy foods. Light diet can clear away heat, prevent heatstroke, reduce sweating, replenish fluids and increase appetite. Eating more fresh vegetables and fruits can not only meet the required nutrition, but also prevent heatstroke. The staple food should be thin, such as mung bean porridge, lotus seed porridge, lotus leaf porridge, etc. You can drink some cool drinks, such as sour plum soup, chrysanthemum tea, etc. However, cold drinks should be moderate, and you should not be partial to cold foods, otherwise it will hurt your yin and damage your body. In addition, eating some vinegar can not only promote the production of body fluids and appetite, but also inhibit and kill bacteria to prevent gastrointestinal diseases.

1: Traditional Chinese medicine pays great attention to "harmony of qi". When the qi is smooth, it is transformed into sufficient energy for activities, the body and mind are relaxed, and the mind naturally calms down.

1: Health experts emphasize that "both body and mind should be cultivated". When the body is not in good condition, it is easy to affect the mind. Once the mind is impatient, the body will gradually weaken. Cultivate good living habits, gradually adjust your temper, habits and personality, and your emotions will be more stable. From the perspective of emotional health, true cultivation is not to get rid of the seven emotions and six desires, but to be able to perfectly control the ups and downs of emotions.

1: Try to do gentle exercise. Excessive exercise will cause a lot of sweating. Exercise is very consuming. Losing a lot of body fluids means losing a lot of physical strength, and it is easy to be irritable. Tai Chi, Qigong or Yuan Chi dance are all good meditation exercises. Choose gentle exercise and keep your breathing calm and unhurried. Only then will the tiny blood vessels or meridians in the body have a chance to get enough nutrients. Listen to music and take a walk. Keep a calm mental state, don't be too excited, and don't be angry and impatient. When you are irritable and in a bad mood, you can relieve negative emotions by taking a walk or listening to light music.

1: Don't travel far in the hot summer, you should find quiet places nearby. In the morning, when the light of dawn is just beginning to shine and the air is fresh, you can go to a garden with lush vegetation to take a walk and exercise, to breathe in the old and take in the new. In the evening, when the sun goes down, you can stroll along the riverside or lakeside. The cool breeze will calm your mind and eliminate the fatigue of the day.

1: Chinese medicine masters believe that people who often have inverted work and rest schedules and stay up late for a long time often have unstable emotions. Because from 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock in the morning, it is the time when the qi and blood of the internal organs flow. If during this period, the blood flows back to the liver to store the essence, if people do not sleep, it is equivalent to forcing their liver to continue decomposing work, the essence cannot be stored, the liver is strong and the yin is weak, and the yin and yang are out of harmony. Detoxification, storage and decomposition of bile are the main tasks of the liver. Long-term abuse of the liver without rest will cause liver fire to rise, fatigue, qi deficiency and weakness. The ancient Chinese medicine book "Inner Canon" mentions the three treasures of the human body, "essence, qi, and spirit". If the essence is sufficient, the qi is full, and if the qi is full, the spirit is strong. On the contrary, if the Qi is weak, the spirit will be depressed, the spirit will be easily depressed, and the mood will be greatly affected. This is the reason for conserving the energy and strengthening the body. Don't stay up late all the time, and taking a proper nap is good for your health. Good sleep quality is very important to relieve the "bitter summer".

1: In the morning and evening, the indoor temperature is low, so the doors and windows should be opened for ventilation. At noon, the outdoor temperature is much higher than the indoor temperature, so the doors and windows must be closed tightly, the curtains must be drawn, or a layer of paper gauze must be added to keep the heat out. In this way, the cool indoor environment will make people feel calm and comfortable for naps and rest.

The most lively season, the human body metabolism is the most vigorous. At the same time, summer is also a season that makes people uncomfortable because of the scorching sun and the scorching heat. Scientific health care is more important in summer.
