When is the dog days of 20 18?
Puppy: 7. 17-7.26
Intermediate voltage: 7.27-8. 15
Terminal voltage: 8. 16-8.25
In hot summer, human metabolism is accelerated, and the demand for oxygen and nutrients is increased; On the other hand, due to the low air pressure, a lot of perspiration and water loss in the body, increased blood viscosity and blocked blood circulation are easy to induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Don't do these seven things in dog days.
1. Delicious cold drinks
Drinking at room temperature is simple and healthy. If you can persist in not touching ice cream in dog days, even if you don't treat "winter disease in summer", you can cure more than half of the diseases in your body.
Here, I recommend two good drinks suitable for hot and humid summer:
Watermelon Cui Yi Soup: Wash watermelon, peel off thin green peel, add water, decoct for 30 minutes, add appropriate amount of rock sugar, and drink after cooling.
Mung bean and hawthorn soup: Boil 150g mung bean and 100g hawthorn with water, add appropriate amount of crystal sugar, and let it cool before drinking.
Remember: take a sip and drink slowly to relieve the heat!
2. Wet hair, fell asleep
In summer, people often take a bath. Some people sleep when their hair is wet, which causes "dampness evil" to invade the body unconsciously. Therefore, be sure to dry your hair before going to bed.
3. Air conditioning blowback
When you come back from sweating or exercising outside, you blow cool air into the air conditioner. Moisture will take the opportunity to enter the human body along the open sweat pores and damage the yang.
When dressing in an air-conditioned room, bend your elbows and shoulders as much as possible, and women should be careful not to show their waists.
4. Stay up late to enjoy the cool.
Many people like to stay up late. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, lack of sleep is a symptom of spleen deficiency, indicating that the body is too wet.
Pay attention to taking a nap in dog days. It may take twenty or thirty minutes. But if it takes an hour, it will affect your sleep at night.
5, sedentary
Some people don't like to move, but sedentary will lead to insufficient blood supply, aggravate fatigue and muscle soreness, and affect the elimination of moisture. Proper perspiration can accelerate the metabolism of the human body and help the human body "get rid of waste and dampness".
The American Diabetes Association's 20 16 guide clearly points out that everyone should reduce sedentary time, especially avoid sedentary for more than 90 minutes.
Sedentary also easily leads to edema of legs and feet, thrombosis of lower limbs and accelerated aging of spine.
I suggest you get up every half hour to exercise.
6. blind tonic
Hot weather is not suitable for nourishing food. If you don't pay attention during this period, you will easily get angry if you eat inappropriate food.
But American ginseng can be properly supplemented, especially when people feel tired and flustered because of excessive sweating. It is suitable for making tea with American ginseng, which is very beneficial to people who are suffering from summer.
7. Sunlight exposure
The scorching sun, dog days, ultraviolet rays in the sun will lead to skin peeling, erythema, and even blisters in severe cases.
Excessive exposure, ultraviolet rays will destroy collagen and elastic fibers, make the skin aging ahead of time, and even cause skin cancer. In addition, strong sunlight can also hurt the eyes.
10 ultraviolet rays are strongest from morning to 2 pm. Pay special attention to sun protection during this time.
Three things to do in summer.
1. Hot water bath: eliminating dampness and evil spirits.
Many people will feel weak, sleepy, sore and numb, sweating and sticky. Sometimes I feel like I have no appetite when I eat. It's hard to digest after eating, and my stomach swells all the time.
The reason for all this is humidity. A good way to deal with dampness is to take a hot bath.
After entering summer, most people will forget the habit of taking a hot bath and think that drinking cold water in summer is cool enough. In fact, the hotter the weather, the more necessary it is to take a bath with hot water. After washing, the body will feel refreshed, and there will be no uncomfortable feeling of sweating.
2, eat loofah: ginseng.
Eat loofah ginseng in dog days because loofah contains saponin, which is a component of ginseng. Very suitable for eating in summer, relieving summer heat and preventing dryness.
Green loofah, whether it is clear or not.
3. Turn on the air conditioner in summer: 26 is the most suitable.
The main reason for air conditioning is the excessive temperature difference between indoor and outdoor. Although the human body has a certain ability to regulate body temperature, this ability is limited.
Experts suggest that the indoor and outdoor temperature difference is about 8~ 10, so the indoor temperature is about 26.
Generally, after turning on the air conditioner for two or three hours, you should open the window for air.
