1, what to eat after sleep?
(1) sowthistle
The high temperature and humidity in summer often make people feel listless, tired and weak, and lose appetite. At this time, it is of great benefit to eat hard food. Bitter weeds are rich in alkaloids, amino acids, picroside, vitamins and minerals, and have the functions of relieving summer heat, relieving annoyance, refreshing and invigorating the stomach. Bitter gourd, bitter vegetable, lettuce, celery, dandelion, lotus seed and lily are all good choices.
(2) Enzymes
Supplementing the body with enzymes can help us clean up the toxins in the body and improve the physical discomfort that is easy to appear in the dog days. Eating ritalin enzyme stock solution can purify the blood, expel intestinal toxins, enhance the detoxification ability of the liver and excrete toxins. In addition, enzymes also have the effect of regulating the stomach, which can improve constipation, indigestion, loss of appetite and other symptoms, and are suitable for daily health and dog days.

In summer, people are prone to fatigue, drowsiness and discomfort. Being jealous will quickly relieve fatigue and maintain abundant energy.
2. Precautions for sleeping and eating
(1) Supplementing Qi and Eliminating Fire
The hot summer days not only bring us physical discomfort, but also easily lead to more and more people's anger rising, which is manifested as emotional irritability, anxiety, excitability, insomnia and so on. These symptoms are called "summer mood disorder" in medicine. Therefore, "removing fire" is also a compulsory course for summer food supplement.
The best choice for summer food is bitter gourd, tomatoes and other cool fruits and vegetables. At the same time, milk is slightly cold, which can replenish water, nourish yin and reduce fever, and is also a good product for "dispelling fire". Dog meat and duck meat is the best way to make up for it in summer.
(2) Fresh and clean
Chinese medicine believes that the stomach is the foundation of the day after tomorrow. In summer, people often feel loss of appetite, and the function of spleen and stomach is relatively slow. At this time, they might as well eat some fresh fruits and vegetables. The nutrients in fresh fruits and vegetables are generally cellulose and sugar, which can not only effectively supplement the necessary energy and water for human body, but also make people eat it for a long time.
Carrots, lemons and amaranth are the first choice. Eating more wild vegetables and fruits in season is of great benefit. But be careful not to eat cold or unclean food to avoid dysentery and diarrhea.
(3) replenish water for health
The theory of traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to "Yin-Yang and Five Elements" and "Harmony between Man and Nature". Winter is Yin, summer is Yang, and summer is the season when Yang is in full bloom, which means that the yang tends to rise and flourish in summer, and the cold in the body is in a state of easy solution. In dog days, people will sweat a lot when they are working or exercising a little, and then they will have a strong thirst. Therefore, hydrating health has become the top priority in dog days.
3. What are the customs of bowing down?
It's better to eat noodles in rainy days. There is a saying in the north that "jiaozi lies on his head and pancakes stand on his feet". The custom of eating noodles on Furi Festival began at least in the Three Kingdoms period. According to Wei's Spring and Autumn Annals, "Lie in the sun, wipe your sweat with a towel and look at Jiao Ran" makes people realize that white skin is white, not covered with powder. The "soup cake" here is hot soup noodles.
May is an evil month, and June also touches the edge of the evil month, so it should also be "evil". This is superstition. Grinding new wheat into flour and cooking soup will make you sweat. The new grain is rich in nutrition, and sweating can drive away diseases. It is scientific to eat soup cakes in June.
In dog days, you can drink water besides hot noodle soup. Cooked noodles are cooked in cold water, mixed with garlic paste and watered with halogen seeds, which not only stimulates appetite, but also "defeats the heart".
Welfare can also eat "fried noodles". The so-called fried noodles are fried and cooked in a pot, and then mixed with water and sugar to eat. This way of eating has existed since the Han Dynasty. It was more common in the Tang and Song Dynasties, but at that time, the wheat was cooked first, and then the pasta was ground. Su Gong, a medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty, said that fried noodles can "clear away heat and stop diarrhea and strengthen the intestines".
It is a traditional custom to eat jiaozi on the head, because when it rains, people have a bad appetite and can't eat anything, while jiaozi is a food that stimulates and satisfies the appetite in the traditional customs of China people.
4. Precautions for dog days exercise
1, don't expose yourself to the hot sun during exercise.
When exercising in dog days, avoid exposure to the hot sun. Although sunlight has the advantages of sterilization and disinfection and improving human disease resistance, it is too strong in dog days and is easily projected directly into the human body through hair, skin and bones. It is not symptoms that cause heatstroke, especially skin cancer caused by long-term sun exposure. Therefore, if you want to exercise in the dog days, you should choose morning or evening.
2. Avoid overload exercise.
When exercising in dog days, you must pay attention to what you can do. First of all, in the choice of time, despite the hot weather, exercise time must follow its own biological clock to avoid fainting, headache and other discomfort; Secondly, aerobic exercise should be the main exercise, so that the intensity of exercise will not be too great, and the better choice is swimming.
Don't cool down quickly after exercise.
In dog days, the body temperature will rise rapidly and sweat will appear. At this time, it is best to rest for a while, and then slowly lower the body temperature after the body slowly recovers. It is wrong to take a bath immediately after exercise or enter an air-conditioned room to cool down. Cold stimulation of the skin can easily lead to vasoconstriction, which not only does not help to dissipate heat in the body, but may also lead to cramps and colds.
4. Don't drink plenty of water after exercise.
Don't drink a lot of water immediately after exercise in dog days. It is hot in dog days, and the water in the body evaporates quickly, so the body needs to replenish water in time after exercise. However, it should be noted that body organs need to have a certain rest time after exercise. Drinking plenty of water immediately will easily increase the burden on the body's internal circulation system, and may also cause leg cramps and other discomfort due to massive excretion. It is best to drink a small amount of warm salt water after exercise.
5. Don't drink frozen drinks after exercise.
After dog days exercise, the blood circulation of the body is mostly on the body surface, and the function of the gastrointestinal tract of the human body is correspondingly weakened. If you start eating frozen drinks after exercise, it is easy for the gastrointestinal tract to be stimulated by cold and cause vasoconstriction, resulting in stomach pain, abdominal pain and other discomfort.
