Summer is coming, which means that hot weather will start at any time. When it is hot, people begin to get tired, and there are many diseases in summer. They often feel tired and weak, eat less and have a little fever, and sometimes they get cold from the heat. So, do you know how to keep fit in summer? What should we pay attention to in food, clothing, housing and transportation? Let's take a look.

According to the principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer", the diet in the later period of long summer should be "increasing acidity and reducing bitterness, tonifying kidney and liver, regulating stomach and regulating qi", and the diet should be light and avoid greasy and spicy. Summer is easy to have a bad appetite, loose bowels and a white greasy tongue coating. It is recommended that you often take things that strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis, such as Pogostemon rugosa, lotus seeds and Eupatorium odoratum.

Special reminder: eat less frozen fruit and ice cream in summer. Although you can enjoy the coolness for a while, I don't know that not only the spleen and stomach are damaged, but also the heart is affected.

2. Go to bed early and get up early.

Chinese medicine believes that "summer qi and heart qi are interlinked". In the long summer, we should pay attention to going to bed early and getting up early, and pay attention to "rest" to avoid sweating after exercise, which will hurt the yang. You can do a few small moves before getting up, which is conducive to strengthening your physique, keeping in good health in traditional Chinese medicine and prolonging your life.

3. It is not advisable to be greedy, so we must be alert to air-conditioning diseases.

It's hot in summer, and the frequency of air conditioning is high, so it's easy to catch a cold. If the air conditioner is turned on too much and the indoor temperature is too low, it is easy to suffer from "air conditioning disease", and symptoms such as cold, cough, fever and listlessness appear. Therefore, it is best to always have a long-sleeved dress and change clothes with the external environment at any time.

4. Winter disease is treated in summer at the right time, and both internal and external arrangements are made.

The human body and the outside world are full of yang in summer, which is a good opportunity to treat winter diseases in summer. Some diseases that are prone to occur in winter can be treated by oral Chinese medicine combined with acupuncture and other external treatments, such as sticking plaster in winter to treat asthma and rhinitis.

5. Emotional adjustment is essential.
