According to time, TCM health care
Summer health care should not only consider the hot and humid factors in summer, but also consider individual differences. Only when people adapt to the time can we achieve the best state of "keeping in good health according to the time" Damp heat constitution is suitable for "bitter" summer, which is hot and humid in nature, while people in damp heat constitution will feel unwell in summer, such as heavy body, chest tightness, body heat and blushing. For this kind of "bitter summer" crowd, it is advocated to eat more "bitter" food, and it is best to eat raw and cold food. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: "Cold in spring eats cold, while Xia Han raises yang. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that bitter and cold food can dry and clear away heat, strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, and help remove excess damp and heat in the body. Bitter taste has the functions of clearing away heat and purging fire, eliminating dampness, lowering qi and detoxifying, such as dried tangerine peel, bitter almond, bitter gourd and lily. In addition, learn to transfer emotions. When you are upset and depressed, you should quickly turn your attention to other aspects. This will help people in damp heat constitution to ease their impatience and feel peaceful, which will naturally help to psychologically adjust their biased physical state. Cold constitution should be "warm". In summer, the yang is in the exterior, but the yang in the body is insufficient. It's like summer when the weather is hot and the well water is cold. For people with cold body, the summer weather is hot, and people's digestive ability will be affected at this time. There will be gastrointestinal autonomic nervous dysfunction such as spleen-stomach disharmony, malabsorption, loss of appetite, etc. In severe cases, there will be symptoms such as fatigue, bloating, palpitation, insomnia and dreaminess. A few women will also have gynecological symptoms such as irregular menstruation, backache and edema. People with cold constitution should not eat too much cold food in summer and eat more warm food. Therefore, the proverb "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer" is actually aimed at people with cold constitution, and people with hot constitution and damp heat constitution should try not to eat too warm food. Hot constitution should be suitable for "cool" people with strong yang heat. For example, they often love fire, or have dry stools, or like to drink cold water. After drinking, they don't feel uncomfortable, but feel very cool. Therefore, in the hot summer, although their body surface is hot and their body is hot, they are still much hotter than ordinary people with peaceful yin and yang. At this time, you can eat more cold food to ensure the normal balance of yin and yang, but you should also be careful not to eat too much cold food to avoid overcorrection and damage the yang. People with weak constitution should eat "acid" in summer, and people usually sweat more, which can help the body discharge excess heat and water. For people with yang deficiency, yin deficiency or qi deficiency, hyperhidrosis will not only damage the vaginal fluid of human body, but also cause yang to be lost with sweat, resulting in the performance of "qi leaking with body fluid", which will lead to sweating, shortness of breath and drowsiness. Therefore, for this group of people, it is recommended to eat more sour food. Acid can nourish yin and benefit qi, but also inhibit sweating and prevent excessive sweating from causing a large amount of body fluids to be discharged. Eat sour food properly, such as tomatoes, lemons, strawberries, ebony, grapes, etc. It can astringe sweat, promote fluid production, strengthen stomach and promote digestion, and prevent excessive sweating, gas consumption and yin injury.
