In summer, this is the fourteenth of the twenty-four solar terms. How to keep fit in summer? Let's have a look!

Solar thermal protection

Midsummer is a solar term, which means that the weather changes from hot to cold, but it does not mean that the weather will turn cold after midsummer, but it needs a process. Therefore, there are folk sayings such as "long summer is like an autumn tiger", "Summer is not summer, but it is hot at noon", "Summer is not summer, beginning of autumn is summer" and "It is hot to death". The heat mentioned here is what we usually call "autumn tiger". "Autumn Tiger" usually occurs at the turn of August and September and lasts for 7- 15 days. Therefore, although the day of midsummer, that is, August 23rd, happens to be the "coming out" day in the dog days, we should still pay attention to the phenomenon of the weather returning to heat, especially in the "southern region" of our country.

Moisturize respiratory tract

After the summer heat, the temperature difference between day and night gradually increases, which is prone to lung dryness and fluid deficiency, that is, dry mouth, dry nose, constipation, increased skin wrinkles, and even fatigue and emaciation. "Dry is moist", therefore, drinking more water and eating more fruits and vegetables is an important health care way to deal with autumn dryness.

Among many fruits and vegetables, autumn pears should be the first one to moisten the lungs and remove dryness. The ancients called pears "the Sect of Fruits", that is, "the Sect of Hundred Fruits". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that pears are sweet, slightly sour and cool, and can "moisten the lungs and cool the heart, reduce phlegm and reduce fire, relieve sore poison and alcohol poison". Whether eaten raw or cooked, it has a good taste. "The heat of the six internal organs is cleared by the living, and the yin of the five internal organs is raised by the cooked." In addition, autumn pears are rich in sugar, protein, carbohydrates and multivitamins, which can induce diuresis, relieve constipation and promote digestion.

consume

With the deepening of autumn, the yin in nature increases and the yang decreases, and the yang of the corresponding human body gradually fades and hides. Therefore, compared with "spring sleep" and "summer sleep", people will be accompanied by laziness and lack of energy after the summer heat in autumn, which is often called "autumn lack". This is a normal physiological phenomenon, but in order to prevent the "autumn famine" from affecting your normal work, study and life, you need to adjust the habits and methods of staying up late in summer to get up early. It is also suitable for taking a lunch break to effectively relieve or eliminate autumn deficiency.

speak thoughtlessly/casually

Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said in a poem, "Autumn has been sad and lonely since ancient times". The ancients' "sorrowful autumn" is not a disease-free groan, but is closely related to the characteristics of the season. After autumn entered the summer solar term, millet, millet, rice and sorghum crops gradually matured, and everything in the world turned from vigor and prosperity in spring and summer to depression and began to wither. With this weather change, coupled with the dryness and mania in autumn, people's mood swings and even depression are normal physiological reactions. The correct way to deal with them is to restrain their emotions, keep their mentality stable and stretch their minds.

After the summer heat, it is especially suitable for outdoor sports to enter the crisp autumn weather. For example, an outing with one or two friends, climbing high and looking far, can effectively alleviate the "sad autumn" mood in the process of getting close to nature. You can also do appropriate exercise in the morning and evening, such as walking, jogging, playing chess, etc., which are all effective ways to expand your ambitions.

Tips: "An autumn rain and a cold". After entering the summer, the weather began to turn cold, and the temperature difference between morning and evening became larger. Especially in autumn rain, the rhythm of cooling will be more obvious. Therefore, it is necessary to add clothes properly when it is cold. But don't rush to add clothes. "Spring covers and autumn freezes", that is to say, don't add too many clothes at once after the weather turns cold in autumn, but add clothes appropriately as the weather turns cold slowly. This will help strengthen their ability to resist the cold, and then they can adapt to the cold weather in winter.
