Adjust biological clock
The fixed biological clock mentioned here is to stabilize the sleep time at a time point, ensure the rest of the sleep time, get up at the right time, and try not to sleep late or stay up late.
Dry your back.
The principle of sunbathing on the dog days is actually the "Yuan Yang" that absorbs sunlight, which can improve the yang in the body, upgrade the physique, and discharge the old cold and moisture. The best time to sunbathe your back is after 8-9 am and 3 pm, not too long, just 20 minutes. However, you should wear a dress when drying your back to avoid sunburn.
Drink hot water
The dog days are the flourishing stage of Yang Zui. At this time, in order to adapt to the weather, the human body is in a state of "excessive yang outside and deficiency inside". Drinking hot water mainly makes the body sweat, which plays the role of sweating and relieving exterior syndrome, and achieves the function of relieving heat. But this is only an auxiliary method to eliminate dampness. Although it is feasible, it needs long-term persistence.
Edible ginger
As the saying goes, eating radish in winter and ginger in summer, ginger has the effects of promoting blood circulation and dispelling cold, dehumidifying and sweating, and also has the effect of invigorating stomach and eliminating edema, while fresh ginger moisturizes without hurting yin. If people with cold stomach and loss of appetite can choose to take fresh ginger slices to stimulate gastric juice secretion, promote digestion, dispel cold and remove dampness. When people are cold, you can also cook brown sugar and Jiang Shui to dispel cold and warm the stomach.
7. Damp-proof, spleen and stomach
We must pay attention to the maintenance and repair of the spleen and stomach in dog days. People with deficiency of spleen and stomach should eat less cold and tropical fruits, try to avoid being greedy, greasy and sweet, change some bad habits in diet, and pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm. In dog days, the stomach is weak, so it is necessary to reduce the invasion of cold and protect the spleen and stomach. When the spleen and stomach are strong, the moisture will naturally be discharged quickly.
In terms of diet, you can choose some foods that replenish qi and spleen: steam some yam to replenish spleen in the morning; At lunch or dinner, crucian carp can be boiled and steamed; You can put some vinegar when eating. Vinegar can promote digestion, reduce AGEs in food and protect our collagen. Red bean and coix seed syrup has a good effect of eliminating dampness, and sugar can be put less, which is most suitable for breakfast in the morning; You can also choose winter melon soup to induce diuresis and remove dampness.
