13 tips for men to stay healthy in summer: Don’t shave shirtless in the morning to cool off

In summer, when the weather gets hot, many people like to bare their arms to keep cool. However, when the temperature exceeds 35 degrees, the skin cannot dissipate heat, but absorbs heat from the outside. At this time, bare arms will make you feel even hotter.

In summer, the human body's digestive system becomes fragile, so men's health diet in summer should focus on strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, clearing away heat and dampness, and relieving heat and promoting body fluid. It is best to choose a lighter diet and eat less greasy and indigestible food. The best summer health diet includes watermelon, cucumber, cantaloupe, tomato, green tea, mung bean soup, etc. Most bitter vegetables have the effect of clearing heat. Men often eat bitter fruits in summer, which can relieve heat and eliminate fatigue. It is a good choice for men's health in summer.

3. Salt water and tea are the best for quenching thirst

In summer, sweating takes away salt, vitamins, potassium, magnesium and other trace elements in the body. If you only drink boiled water, the nutrients that enter the body will not only be difficult to enter the blood vessels and remain in the cells, but also easily penetrate the sweat glands and bladder and be quickly excreted from the body. Not only will it be difficult to quench thirst, but it will also cause uncomfortable reactions such as palpitations and dizziness. If you add a small amount of salt to the boiling water you drink, the body can maintain nutrients and have a thirst-quenching effect. Drinking tea in midsummer can not only replenish nutrients and lost vitamins and other things necessary for the human body, but also produce body fluids to quench thirst, refresh the mind, strengthen appetite, and have detoxification and sterilization effects.

4. Choose to shave in the early morning

Early morning is the best time to shave. During sleep, metabolism speeds up and sebaceous glands secrete vigorously, which makes hair grow rapidly. After a night of "crazy" growth, morning is the best time to "cut" hair. Moreover, the skin is more relaxed at this time, and shaving can also reduce the chance of being scratched. When shaving, the skin should be tightened to reduce the resistance of the razor when it moves on the skin. Then apply an appropriate amount of shaving cream, start from the temples, cheeks and neck, and then the lower jaw. The ideal angle is about 26 degrees, and try to reduce backscratching as much as possible.

5. Dress healthily

The development and structure of male reproductive organs and the health of external genitalia are closely related to clothing. Tight jeans have poor air permeability and poor heat dissipation, especially synthetic "crotch pants", which can easily cause the scrotum to be in a closed state, air is not circulated, and bacteria are easy to breed, causing genital tract inflammation. At the same time, it also restricts blood circulation, which is very unfavorable to the production and nutrition of sperm. In the long run, it is easy to cause the adverse consequence of infertility. Therefore, it is recommended that men should wear thinner clothes in summer, choose underwear with pure cotton texture and good water absorption, and do not wear tight jeans often. When buying jeans, it is best to choose slightly larger, cotton, and breathable ones.

6. Go to bed late, get up early and take a nap

In summer, people get up early because the sun rises early, and go to bed late, which can easily lead to insufficient sleep. Therefore, we should increase the number of naps. The duration of the nap varies from person to person, but generally half an hour to an hour is appropriate. For those who cannot take a nap, they can listen to music or close their eyes and rest for 30 to 50 minutes at noon.

7. The best sleeping position is lying on your back

Will sleeping posture have "bad consequences" on sexual function? The answer is yes. For men, the best sleeping posture is lying on your back with your legs apart; lying prone or sideways may have adverse effects on the male reproductive system. Lying on your back is indeed the best sleeping posture. At the same time, it is best for men to naturally spread their legs to give the scrotum and penis ample room for movement. If a man is obese and snores when sleeping on his back, he may want to lie on his back with his head slightly tilted to one side.

8. Cold water bath is not advisable

Cold water bathing is a favorite way for many people to cool down, especially young and middle-aged men. However, in the hot summer, the sweat pores and skin of people are open, so the cold air can easily invade the human body, causing the Yang Qi to be damaged. Symptoms that can be seen include cold hands and feet, leg cramps, blurred vision, and even unexplained fever. At the same time, even if you take a hot water bath, you should pay attention to avoiding the wind after bathing, especially for children.

9. Protect your liver and drink less alcohol

In the hot summer, many people will choose some icy drinks to drink, among which beer is the choice of many people. But do you know that alcohol is the first harm to men's liver. Relevant experts have found that the incidence rate of alcoholic fatty liver in 10 years is 92% for those who drink more than 160 grams of alcohol per day. Therefore, liver protection starts with quitting drinking. Except for a small amount of red wine, white wine and beer should not be consumed too much. Eat vegetables. The three meals arrangement highlights the status of protein and vitamins, which is very beneficial to delaying the aging of liver tissue and the repair, renewal and detoxification of liver cells. Such foods include eggs, fish, poultry, soy products, animal liver, etc.

10. Don’t forget potassium when supplementing your nutrition

Usually, you should pay attention to replenishing some nutrients, such as fresh fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, green peppers, winter melons, starberries, melons, plums, etc.; replenish water and inorganic salts, especially pay attention to potassium replenishment, such as beans and their products, mushrooms, etc.; eat more foods that have the effect of clearing heat and removing dampness, such as watermelon, bitter melon, peach, black plum, strawberry, cucumber, etc.; supplement protein in moderation, such as fish, lean meat, eggs, etc.

11. Keep your home cool

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.
