How to "cool down" health in summer? Diet should be light.
After the awn is planted, the summer heat is in season, the hot sun is in the sky, the yang is getting longer and the yin is getting weaker. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human body is in a hot environment, with strong heart qi and weak liver qi, and subtle changes are taking place in body temperature regulation, water and salt metabolism and circulation, digestion, nervous system, endocrine system and urinary system. People with weak constitution, especially children and the elderly, may get sick if they are not careful. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that in the face of the seasonal characteristics of "heat" and "dryness", "cool" should be used to neutralize and "clear" should be used to drive away.

Keep your mind quiet. With steaming heat, people tend to be sultry, irritable, sleepy and irritable. So this season, people should not be angry, in case of endogenous heart fire.

Diet should be light. The diet should be light, soft and easy to digest, and eat less high-fat, thick-flavored, spicy and irritated things. You can drink some cool drinks, such as sour plum soup and chrysanthemum tea, or add mung beans, lentils, lotus seeds and lotus leaves to japonica rice to cook porridge and let it cool. Here, I recommend a kind of porridge for clearing away heat and relieving summer heat: Erdou lotus porridge. The specific method is: lotus leaf 1 slice, after washing, boil soup to get juice, 2 mung beans, 25 grams of white lentils and lotus seeds, 0/00 grams of japonica rice/kloc-0, and cook porridge with lotus leaf juice.

Clothes should be fresh. In summer, sunshine is stronger, air humidity is higher, and people sweat more. You should choose clothes with good moisture absorption and heat dissipation performance, plain color and loose style. Generally speaking, the texture is light and soft, and the colors are white, beige and pink blue.

The room should be cool. When the indoor temperature is low in the morning and evening, open the doors and windows for ventilation. At noon, the outdoor temperature is higher than the indoor temperature. Close the doors and windows and close the curtains.

Entertainment should be quiet. You can't travel long distances in June, so you should live in seclusion nearby. In the morning, with the first ray of sunshine and fresh air at dawn, you can take a walk in the lush garden, exercise, go to the old and welcome the new. In the evening, if you walk by the river or the lake, the cool breeze will calm you down and relieve the heat.
