Chinese medicine believes that physical exercise can exercise bones and muscles, regulate qi and blood, and maintain yang. For example, get up early in the morning, take a walk and jog in a quiet place outside after washing, breathe fresh air and stretch the human yang. What sports are suitable for summer health? And look at the summer health exercise series introduced by experienced MM.

I. Tourism

The main purpose of summer tourism is to escape the heat. According to this principle, the destination of summer tourism should be the seaside. In the hot summer, the cool sea breeze blows on the face, which makes people feel refreshed and exhausted. In addition, the wide and soft beaches provide natural places for people to sunbathe and bathe in the sea. The unique comprehensive function of climate in coastal areas can coordinate the functions of various tissues and organs of the body and have certain preventive and therapeutic effects on many chronic diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the seaside to rest in summer 10 days or so, which is very beneficial to physical and mental health.

Second, swimming.

Taking part in physical exercise in summer, the best project is swimming. The hot sun is like fire, and the hot air is blowing head-on. Swimming is the most comfortable, which not only exercises the body, but also relieves the summer heat. Swimming has many benefits to human body. First of all, swimming can improve the function of the respiratory system, make the tissues and cells in the body metabolize vigorously, and play a very good role in preventing and treating chronic bronchitis and improving emphysema. Secondly, swimming can improve the function of cardiovascular system, greatly enhance the function of the heart, and reduce the deposition of metabolic waste on the blood vessel wall. In addition, swimming can increase the excitability of the cerebral cortex. If you swim in the water for a while after work, no matter who you are, you will feel refreshed, tired and light.

Third, play fitness ball.

Fitness ball, also known as Baoding iron ball. This exercise can regulate qi and blood, relax tendons and activate collaterals, strengthen the body, strengthen the brain and improve intelligence, and is not limited by the venue and weather, so it is suitable for summer practice. If you can practice fitness ball regularly, it will have a good effect on cervical spondylosis, scapulohumeral periarthritis, coronary heart disease, finger dysfunction and other diseases. In addition, due to the frequent friction between the iron ball and the palm skin, static electricity and thermal effect will also play a role in promoting blood circulation and treating diseases in all parts of the body.

Fourth, fishing.

Fishing is not only to catch fish, but also to nourish temperament and gain body and mind. In the past, many scholars and celebrities regarded "smoke fishing" as an elegant activity. Legend has it that Jiang Ziya, who helped Zhou Wenwang conquer the world, once fished along the Weihe River. In summer, when you come to reservoirs and ponds, under the lush shade of trees, the breeze blows, you can read the luxuriant gas, smell the cicada singing in the sunset, and see the "white floating" jumping in the green waves ... You can find this kind of Shu Yue and tranquility, naturally cooling your heart, driving away troubles and restraining impatience.

As the saying goes, "practice for three days in winter and three days in summer", which shows the important role of physical exercise in summer in health. Experimental observation shows that people who often participate in sports in summer have better heart function, vital capacity and digestive function than those who do not exercise, and the incidence rate is also lower. However, the hot weather in summer consumes a lot of people, so we must pay attention to the methods of participating in sports activities in summer, and only reasonable arrangements can achieve good fitness results.

First, eat more alkaline foods to prevent acid-base imbalance. Alkaline foods are mainly fruits, and watermelons, pineapples, apricots, peaches, plums and cantaloupes in fruits are rich in potassium salts.

Secondly, it is best to do outdoor sports in the early morning or evening when the weather is cool. Get up in the morning and go to parks, lakes, courtyards and other places with fresh air. These events include broadcast gymnastics, Qigong and Tai Ji Chuan.

Third, exercise moderately and don't be overtired. You can drink some salty boiled water properly, and it is best to take a hot bath, which can not only eliminate fatigue, but also make people feel particularly comfortable.
