In the workplace, you should tell your colleagues how you feel in order to gain their understanding. Try not to use air conditioning or raise the temperature properly. It is best to keep a long-sleeved dress and add and subtract clothes with the external environment at any time.

During the long summer solar term, people often wear thin clothes, and even healthy people should be wary of exogenous factors. Once you get sick, don't use antiperspirants easily to avoid sweating and blood stasis and prevent heart attacks.

In summer, due to sweating, it is easy to get thirsty. Most people like to drink some iced drinks. Some people like to drink cold beer when eating in restaurants. You shouldn't drink too much of these icy things, especially after exercise. It is best to quench your thirst with boiled water or light salt water. Always stay in an air-conditioned room and drink plenty of water.
"Long Summer" on the 5th: The weather is getting hotter and hotter, so as not to get angry.
When is Long Summer? May 5 will usher in the long summer, one of the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar. Experts remind that the weather is getting hotter and hotter at this time, and the public should relax and keep a relaxed state of mind to avoid sudden joy and anger hurting the heart.
Zhao Zhi Heng, an expert in astronomy education and director of Tianjin Astronomical Society, said that when the sun reaches 45 degrees of the Yellow Meridian on May 6 every year, it begins to enter the long summer solar term. The book "Eight Chapters of Lotus Life" written by the Ming Dynasty said: "On the day of summer dream, heaven and earth began to merge and everything was beautiful."
Traditionally, people regard the long summer as the beginning of summer. At this time, the temperature has obviously risen, and the average temperature in most parts of the country is around 18-20℃, which is the mid-spring and dusk season of "all kinds of red and purple contend for the wild"; When summer comes, thunderstorms increase and plants enter the peak season, which is an important solar term.
Connecting with the heart in summer is beneficial to the physiological activities of the heart. Therefore, we must conform to the changes in this solar term and maintain our hearts. Li Yanling, director of the Nutrition Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that at this time, the elderly should pay attention to avoid blood stasis.
Li Yanling suggested that we should also pay attention to "rest" in the long summer. After a long summer, people get excited easily. Therefore, in the long summer, we should "abstain from dryness and anger", avoid great joy and great sorrow, and keep quiet, relaxed and smiling. In addition, in diet regulation, we should eat less high-fat, thick-flavored, spicy things that get angry, and eat more light, vitamin-rich foods, such as yam, wheat, corn, seafood, eggs and so on. These foods can not only clear away heat, prevent heatstroke, stop sweating and replenish water, but also stimulate appetite.
Keeping in good health in the long summer depends on cultivating "heart"
"Long summer" means that the weather gets warmer, the temperature rises, the hot summer comes and the rain increases. Pei Zhimei, deputy director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Changchun Central Hospital, said that in this solar term, we should adapt to the changes in the weather, focus on the heart and learn to raise the "heart".
Do more quiet things.
watch out for
In China, man and nature are a unified whole. The changes of the four seasons in nature are related to the functional activities of the five internal organs, and the heart corresponds to "summer". Heart yang is the most vigorous in summer. When the temperature rises in summer, people tend to be irritable and lose their temper, and their immune function is relatively low. Especially for the elderly, myocardial ischemia, arrhythmia and hypertension caused by anger are easy to aggravate, and even sudden death occurs. Therefore, at the turn of spring and summer, we should adapt to the changes in the weather, do a good job of self-regulation and focus on it.
Pei Zhimei said that in the "long summer" season, we should do "spiritual health" and do more quiet things, such as painting, calligraphy, listening to music, playing chess, planting flowers and fishing.
According to solar terms change
Go to bed late at lunch break and get up early.
Because it gets dark late and dawn early after the long summer, people often go to bed late and get up early, which leads to a "nap" during the day.
13: 00 to 15: 00 is the highest temperature time of the day. People sweat easily, sweat more and dissipate heat, and a large amount of blood is concentrated on the body surface, so the blood supply to the brain is relatively reduced. After lunch, the blood supply to the digestive tract increases, and the blood supply to the brain is less, which makes people feel depressed and sleepy easily.
Therefore, according to the change of solar terms, we can go to bed later and get up early than the winter festival to adapt to the change of yang excess and yin deficiency in nature. But siesta should be increased, especially for the elderly, who have the characteristics of fake sleep and need siesta more. People who are not used to taking a nap at noon should listen to music or close their eyes, and it is best not to work overtime.
Generally speaking, the lunch break should be half an hour to one hour, and the time should not be too long. Don't get up in a hurry after waking up, then lie down and get up again. Don't be greedy when sleeping, avoid sleeping in the air, and prevent getting sick from catching cold and catching cold.
Pei Zhimei said that taking a lunch break in summer is not beneficial to everyone. People with low blood pressure and blood circulation disorder, especially those who feel dizzy due to shrinkage, should not take a lunch break.
Eat more acidic food.
Eating more and eating less is good for nourishing.
For human viscera, the liver qi gradually weakens and the heart qi gradually increases in the long summer. At this time, the diet should increase acid and reduce bitterness, tonify the kidney and help the liver. Ensuring normal gastrointestinal function and resisting the invasion of summer heat is an important part of summer health preservation.
After a long summer, people sweat a lot, which will cause the human body and easily relax the skin. Eating more acidic foods can make the skin shrink properly. Mume, hawthorn and papaya all have astringent properties and can be used to treat diarrhea and sweating.
After a long summer, the spirit of the sun is rising and the weather is getting warmer. Eating more greasy or easy-to-get-angry food will cause fever inside and outside the body, and it is prone to acne, oral ulcer, constipation and other diseases. In order to solve the dysfunction of spleen and stomach at this time, the diet should be light and rich, and eat more digestible foods rich in vitamins.
Eating more and eating less is an important way to keep healthy in summer. For example, eating porridge for breakfast and dinner and soup for lunch can not only quench thirst, relieve summer heat, but also nourish the body. At the same time, we should pay attention to supplement some nutrients. To supplement vitamins, you can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, green peppers, wax gourd, watermelon, bayberry, peach and plum. Supplement water and inorganic salts, especially potassium. Beans or bean products, mushrooms, fruits and vegetables are all good sources of potassium. Appropriate supplementation of protein, such as fish, lean meat, eggs, milk and beans, is the best quality protein.
Exercise sweating
Take a hot bath.
In summer, people tend to sweat a lot, consume a lot of physical strength, and tend to be weak. So be careful not to exercise too much, just sweat a little, otherwise it may lead to hypoglycemia and decreased resistance, ranging from dizziness to fainting. In summer, we should give priority to relaxation exercise, preferably in the early morning or evening, and choose appropriate exercise, such as Tai Ji Chuan, aerobics, jogging, walking and so on.
At the end of exercise, the human body is still in a state of vigorous metabolism and vasodilation of the skin. At this time, if you take a bath immediately, your skin will contract blood vessels through nerve reflex, which will make it difficult to dissipate heat and raise your body temperature. Therefore, after summer exercise, you should take a proper rest and drink water, and then take a bath later. It is best to choose warm water instead of cold water when taking a bath.
Summary: Hot summer is the season for bacteria to breed, so we must do a good job in health care. I hope the long summer regimen listed above can help you.
