Avoid going out at noon.
10 It's the hottest time from morning to 4 pm, so try not to go out. Where the heat is high, we will avoid it. After 10 in the morning and before 4 pm, it is the hottest time in midsummer. If you can stay indoors, stay indoors. If you want to walk or work outdoors, you'd better choose a shady place. But even so, you can't stay outdoors for a long time. You should regularly blow an electric fan in a cool room to dissipate heat. It is not advisable to go directly into the air-conditioned room for a cold bath.
Avoid a lot of cold drinks and iced watermelons.
In order to prevent heatstroke and cool down, many people like to eat and drink many cold dishes, cold food, iced watermelon, iced beer, cold drinks and so on. Chinese medicine experts pointed out that in the hot summer, the human body is actually in a state of external heat and internal cold. If you are greedy and drink too much, it will easily lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction. In addition, many girls like to drink mung bean soup. Although mung bean soup is good, don't drink too much, let alone drink it as water. Especially for girls in menstrual period, it is not advisable to drink mung bean soup, so as not to harm the body and cause dysmenorrhea. Female friends should not do things that harm their health for the sake of temporary greed.
Drink more water and have more rest.
The squat barbecue mode makes people experience the heat. As long as they stay outdoors for a few minutes, they may sweat profusely and quickly lose a lot of water. Therefore, hydration in dog days is also an important part of health care. It is suggested that you take a certain amount of water when you go out, so that you can replenish it at any time when you are thirsty. People who work under air conditioning, although they don't sweat, are prone to water shortage, so they need to drink water regularly. It is recommended to reach at least 2000 ml every day. In addition, sleep quality is also very important. Many women, due to their work or lifestyle, lack proper rules in their daily life, often stay up late and lack sleep, which has a great impact on their health. Therefore, it is suggested that women should develop a regular routine.
Don't stay in the air-conditioned room for a long time.
Staying in an air-conditioned room for too long will also make you ache all over, listless and lose your appetite. Sometimes nosebleeds are caused by dry nasal cavity, or colds, fever, and even bronchitis, pneumonia and gastroenteritis. At the same time, it must be noted that the indoor temperature shall not be lower than 27℃, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor shall not exceed 8℃. Air-conditioned rooms should not be closed for a long time, and should be ventilated frequently.
Eat a light diet and eat more "bitterness"
Zhongfu had better have a light diet, and don't eat some greasy and high-fat spicy food, which is not easy to digest. It is advisable to give priority to light diet in daily life. It is suggested to appropriately increase liquid or semi-liquid foods, mainly porridge and soup, and drinking mung bean soup, lotus seed porridge and lotus leaf porridge is more beneficial to health. In seasoning, it is recommended to eat vinegar in moderation, which can promote appetite and digestion by reading books. Eating more bitter food and eating some bitter food properly in hot weather can not only clear the heart, relieve annoyance and refresh the mind, but also stimulate the appetite, strengthen the spleen and benefit the stomach. Bitter gourd has the effects of stimulating appetite, promoting digestion, clearing away heat and pathogenic factors, eliminating fatigue, clearing away heart fire and improving eyesight. In addition, bitter foods such as bitter vegetables, tea, coffee, etc. can also be selected as appropriate. It should be noted that eating bitter food should not be excessive, otherwise it may cause nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.
