But at different stages, the focus of health care is different.
Then, how should the first, middle and last three days be properly preserved?
Primary heatstroke prevention
At this time, it is necessary to arrange the work schedule reasonably, do a good job in heatstroke prevention and cooling, and be careful not to stay in the hot sun or high temperature environment for a long time. It is not advisable to go out in the hot sun. Take an umbrella and a hat when you go out, don't do strenuous exercise, and take a nap at noon.
It should be a small amount of drinking water. In many cases, you can choose refreshing drinks such as light salt water, green tea and mung bean soup. If dizziness, palpitation, nausea, vomiting and other signs of heatstroke appear, you should quickly go to the shade, unbutton your clothes, cold compress your head, drink cool drinks, and take Ren Dan or ten drops of water. In case of heatstroke in the infirm and the elderly, they should be sent to the hospital immediately for rescue.
Damp-proof evil in the middle
At this time, we should pay special attention to diet, which should be light, nutritious and digestible. It is not advisable to eat a lot of cold and greasy food. We can add lentils, coix seed and other products to strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis in porridge. We can also use fresh Pogostemon, Eupatorium odoratum, flyash, burnt barley, licorice and decoction instead of tea, and pay attention to food hygiene to prevent "diseases from entering the mouth".
The last tiger in autumn
At this time, it is autumn, and the so-called "half fire in July, steaming sweet clover in August" and "autumn tiger" are quite fierce. Because summer heat is the easiest way to make people feel sad and disturb their minds, people often show upset, fidgeting and confused thoughts.
At this time, in addition to strengthening heatstroke prevention and cooling, we should consciously avoid the interference of this kind of bad mood, so as not to be disturbed by things, not to be impatient, to be cheerful and comfortable. It is necessary to arrange personal daily life reasonably, so as to work and rest on time and live regularly, ensure proper sleep and rest, avoid excessive fatigue, and improve the body's tolerance to high temperature and resistance to "autumn tiger".
Dog days, the body has six "fears"! Come and have a look!
1, the soles of feet are coldest.
It's hot, and some people don't like blowing air conditioners. In order to cool down, they like to sleep with the window open at night. I also like to put my feet in the direction of the window and let them bathe in the cool wind. It's really "cool and comfortable".
2, the stomach is most afraid of cold
After eating cold food in dog days, the yang in the body may not be able to resist the coldness of food, which will not only lead to dampness in the body, but also lead to diarrhea. Especially people with spleen and stomach weakness and kidney yang deficiency should pay more attention.
3, the upper body is most afraid of dew
It is pointed out in the Record of Mixed Customs Living that "the table of Shu Fei's five internal organs, the length of Shu Wei's the twelve meridians, must not lose the festival of cold and summer." There are many meridians in our upper body, including the Yin and Yang Du Meridian and Ren Meridian. If the chest and back catch cold, wind-cold can easily invade the meridians, thus causing diseases of the stomach, respiratory tract and cardiovascular system.
In terms of dress, women should be careful not to wear navel dresses and low-waisted pants. Because it will expose Shenque point and Shenshu point, which are in charge of Yin and Yang meridians, it is easy to damage Du Meridian and Ren Meridian.
4. I am most afraid of sweating and will not change clothes.
"Sun Zhenren's Health Song" said: "Don't wear a thin coat in spring cold, change Xia Yue sweat more, add it in autumn and winter when you feel cold, and don't wait for illness to take medicine." It means that changing clothes with the seasons is one of the important ways to keep fit.
During the dog days, people should change their clothes in time after sweating heavily, and never dry the clothes soaked by sweat with their bodies, otherwise not only the yang will be damaged, but also the moisture will enter the body and be converted into heat, forming damp-heat syndrome, leading to skin diseases such as sores or rheumatism.
5, bathing is most afraid of cold water
Many men like to take a cold bath in summer! If you have such a relative who reads articles, you should take good care of him in this dog days. The dog days are hot, and people's pores and muscles are in a state of venting.
Give you a small analogy, compare the sweat hole to a "door". In dog days, the door is open. Wind-cold, cold and dampness can easily enter from the "door" and invade the human body, leading to the loss of yang. The symptoms we can see are chills in hands and feet, hamstring twitching, blurred vision in eyes, and even unexplained heat syndrome. At the same time, even if you take a hot bath, you should pay attention to shelter from the wind after taking a bath, especially for children.
6, afraid of drinking tea on an empty stomach
Many people like drinking tea in summer, and many families in China have the habit of drinking tea, so I must talk about drinking tea in summer. Drinking a lot of tea, especially on an empty stomach, can easily lead to the loss of yang.
If you are a person who likes to eat salty food, the salty taste will cause tea leaves to enter the kidney, thus eliminating the lower jiao and kidney yang, making people prone to arthralgia, diarrhea, impotence, dysmenorrhea and other diseases. Therefore, it is recommended to drink tea in dog days and drink 2~3 cups after meals. If you are hungry, you should stop drinking.
Friends, remember to take care of yourself and your family in the dog days!
