Zhang Xian believes that the way of TCM health preservation lies in "adapting to the four seasons". From the point of view of health care, although the human body itself has adaptability, if we understand and master the laws of natural changes, we will take the initiative to take health care measures to adapt to their changes, maintain health, enhance healthy qi, and avoid the invasion of evil spirits, thus preventing the occurrence of diseases.
"First of all, you have to calm down, be calm, be calm and harmonious. Don't be angry, so you won't be angry. " Zhang Xian said, don't be impatient in summer, keep healthy and have a rest. According to the five elements theory of Chinese medicine, summer belongs to fire, which should be in the heart, hidden in the heart and enjoyed in the heart. In the hot summer, the human body sweats relatively much. Sweat is the liquid of the heart, which is the easiest to consume the heart and cause discomfort such as shortness of breath, fatigue and palpitation. The high temperature in summer is also easy to disturb the mind, leading to restlessness, irritability and hyperactivity. It is not difficult to find that summer is also a season with frequent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, nourishing the heart in summer is particularly important. If you want to nourish your heart, you must avoid mood swings, keep your mood comfortable, and think less and desire less.
Secondly, spleen protection should be avoided in summer health diet. Zhang Xian said that Chinese medicine calls the spleen and stomach "the foundation of the day after tomorrow", that is, the continuation of human life activities and the enrichment of essence, qi, blood and body fluid depend on the transportation of the spleen and stomach, which shows how important it is to protect the spleen and stomach. In summer, dampness is the main qi, and the spleen likes dryness and hates dampness. Moisture is the most likely to damage the spleen and affect the transportation of the spleen and stomach, so it is easy to get tired and lose appetite in summer. In summer, people tend to be gluttonous and cold, which leads to the damage of spleen and stomach yang, indigestion, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, diarrhea and other symptoms. When the spleen and stomach are injured, the ability to transport water and dampness is weakened, and the human body's moisture is aggravated, muscle soreness and weight loss will occur. "To protect the spleen and stomach, citizens and friends should eat less cold, and they can also eat some products that strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis, such as yam and rice kernels."
In addition, Zhang Xian also believes that everyone should pay a little attention to their daily life. "Summer is known to all, and we should also know how to avoid the cold. In summer, avoid the wind like an arrow. Chinese medicine believes that' the wind is the length of all diseases, and the number of good deeds changes'. In summer, pores expand, and common colds are more likely to invade the body. " Zhang Xian reminded that the air conditioning temperature is too low in summer, and even some people can't blow at the tuyere, which may easily cause headaches, wind chill, facial paralysis and other diseases. Especially when sleeping, try to avoid the wind.
