1. Health care has always been the most concerned topic. For thousands of years, people have found many effective methods and measures, and traditional medicine has accumulated extremely rich experience in this respect.

The methods of health preservation all come from the theory of nursed back to health in traditional Chinese medicine. Many times, we should listen to relevant medical reports and expert health guidance. Although there may be many repetitions, as long as we catch one of them, we will certainly benefit from it. At this hot moment, our bodies are experiencing a new round of challenges. If you want to have a healthy long summer, you should pay more attention to all kinds of details in life.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, summer belongs to fire, and a special stage of summer is called "long summer", which belongs to soil alone. Summer health should pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Although the temperature is high, we should take care of the human body's yang. Also known as "nourishing Yang in spring and summer". Yang is the motive force of human beings, fluctuating with the alternation of seasons and the sun and the moon. In summer, the yang is strong and often floats outside, but it is easy to be injured by external evils. Sweating leads to yang death. In other words, in hot summer, it is generally not appropriate to do a lot of exercise, and water and nutrition should be supplemented in time after exercise.

After the long summer, the northern hemisphere will get enough sunshine, the sunshine time will be prolonged and the temperature will rise, so people's sleep will be reduced. People with sleep disorders are more likely to get worse, suffer from insomnia or fidget at night. Chinese medicine says that it is advisable to "go to bed early and get up early" in summer to conform to the solar terms. If you can't go to bed early at night, a proper lunch break at noon is still a good adjustment. It is the best arrangement to get up early in summer and do proper morning exercises.

3. Entering the midsummer season, the temperature is high and the humidity is high, giving people a sultry feeling, which is what Chinese medicine calls long summer. Long summer belongs to the soil in the five elements, corresponding to the spleen of the five internal organs of traditional Chinese medicine, which hates dampness and likes dryness, so long summer often leads to spleen and stomach diseases, loss of appetite, diarrhea and other symptoms. People with weak spleen and stomach should adjust their diet in time, be nutritious without increasing the burden on the spleen and stomach, and eat less and more meals. Sweating in summer often makes people thirsty, but we should be careful not to drink a lot of water before meals, let alone drink a lot of cold drinks. On the contrary, it is easy to damage the spleen and stomach, leading to chronic spleen and stomach diseases.

There are many fruits and vegetables in summer, so you can eat more, but you should pay attention to the taste of fruits, know your physique and avoid damage. For example, people with spleen and stomach deficiency should not eat a lot of cool fruits such as watermelon, pear, kiwi fruit and grapefruit; Those with internal fire and phlegm dampness should eat less longan and litchi. Allergic constitution, eat mango, pineapple and so on carefully. As the saying goes, "peaches nourish people, apricots hurt people, and plums kill people." Eating too many plums will make people feel more phlegm, help to get rid of dampness, and even make people feel weak, hot and dizzy. People with urinary calculi should not eat more strawberries; People with stomach acid and diarrhea eat less bananas; Apples, peaches, grapes, cantaloupes, mulberries, watermelons and other fruits have high sugar content, so diabetics should be careful to eat them.

5. In summer, the yang of the human body floats on the body surface and leaks out with sweat, which makes the health qi insufficient and the resistance decreases. If you feel the external wind at this time, it can also cause wind chill, wind heat and summer dampness. So there are many kinds of colds in summer: wind-cold colds, inconspicuous fever and obvious aversion to cold, runny nose and sneezing. At this time, two bags of Ganmao Qingre Granules should be taken immediately and must be taken while it is hot. Or drink onion, ginger and brown sugar water every 2-3 hours, and most symptoms will be obviously relieved. If the body temperature rises rapidly, it is accompanied by aversion to cold and throat discomfort. Most of them are wind-heat colds. You can take Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, antiviral oral liquid, Qingkailing and vitamin C Yinqiao tablets in the early stage. If fever is accompanied by nausea or vomiting, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, etc. Most of them are summer-dampness colds, similar to gastrointestinal colds in western medicine. At this time, you should take Huoxiang Zhengqi capsule or water in time, and increase the dose for the first time, 3-4 times a day. At the same time, control your diet and cook some lotus leaf and mung bean porridge.

6. The humid and sultry climate makes people's skin susceptible to infection, and summer is also the season with frequent skin diseases. Pay attention to skin care and take a bath with some natural herbs, which will make people spend a healthy and happy summer. For example, in the mulberry leaf bath, put about100g of mulberry leaves in a pot, boil for 10- 15 minutes, and then pour into the bathtub, which can eliminate skin acne, furuncle and brown spots. Another example is mint bath, which can prevent eczema and prickly heat.

7. Pay attention to safety when swimming

First of all, choose a swimming place with good water quality, and it is better to go to the swimming pool, where it is safer. Secondly, make preparations before entering the water to avoid hand and foot cramps after entering the water. Finally, tired, empty and full are not suitable for swimming.

8. The more water you drink, the better. Drink a small amount of boiled water many times.

It's sultry and sweaty in summer, so you must get into the habit of drinking water actively. We should drink 1~2 cups of boiled water at the four "best drinking times" after getting up in the morning, around 10 in the morning, 3~4 pm and before going to bed at night, and pay attention to replenish water in time after sweating too much, exercising or taking a bath. In addition, eating more fruits and vegetables is also a good way to replenish water.

Two. Ten Best Opportunities for Health Care in Life

1. The best time to brush your teeth

Three minutes after a meal is the best time to rinse your mouth and brush your teeth. Because oral bacteria begin to decompose food residues at this time, the acidic substances produced by them are easy to corrode and dissolve enamel and damage teeth.

2. The best time to drink tea

The best time to drink tea is after eating 1 hour. Many people like to drink hot tea immediately after meals, which is very unscientific. Because tannic acid in tea can combine with iron in food to form insoluble iron salt, which interferes with the absorption of iron by human body and can induce anemia over time.

3. The best time to drink milk

Because milk is rich in calcium, middle-aged and elderly people can drink it before going to bed, which can make up for the low blood calcium at night and protect bones. At the same time, milk has hypnotic effect.

4. The best time to eat fruit

The best time to eat fruit is before meals 1 hour. Because fruit belongs to raw food, eating cooked food after eating raw food will not increase the number of white blood cells in the body, which is conducive to protecting the human immune system.

5. The best time to bask in the sun

8 am to 10, and 4 pm to 7 pm is the best time to bask in the sun. At this time, the sunlight is mainly the beneficial ultraviolet A beam, which can make the human body produce vitamin D, thus enhancing the anti-tuberculosis and osteoporosis prevention ability of the human immune system and reducing the incidence of arteriosclerosis.

6. The best time for beauty treatment

The skin's metabolism is the most vigorous from 24: 00 to 6: 00 the next morning, so it is best to use beauty and skin care cosmetics before going to bed at night, which can promote metabolism and protect skin health.

7. The best time for a walk

Walking for 20 minutes at a speed of 4.8 kilometers per hour from 45 minutes to 60 minutes after meals consumes the most calories and is most conducive to losing weight. It would be better if you walked for two hours after supper.

8. the best time to take a bath

Taking a warm bath (35℃ ~ 45℃) before going to bed every night can relax the muscles and joints of the whole body, speed up blood circulation and help you sleep peacefully.

9. The best time to sleep

It is best to take a nap from 13 o'clock, when the human body feels lower and it is easy to fall asleep. It is better to go to bed from 22: 00 to 23:00 at night, because people's deep sleep time is from 24: 00 to 3: 00 the next morning, and people fall into a deep sleep state one and a half hours after sleep.

10. The best time to exercise

Exercise at night is the most beneficial. The reason is that people's physical exertion or physical adaptability is best in the afternoon or near dusk. At this time, people's senses such as taste, vision and hearing are the most sensitive, and their whole body coordination ability is the strongest, especially their heart rate and blood pressure are relatively stable, which is most suitable for exercise.
