Human intracranial arteries and blood vessels are very sensitive to pain. In hot season, the head is prone to sweating after exercise. At this time, the blood vessels dilate. If washed with cold water, it may cause abnormal intracranial vascular function, and symptoms such as dizziness, blackness in front of eyes and vomiting may occur during the attack. If it is serious, it may cause intracranial hemorrhage. It can be seen that it is not advisable to use cold and heat resistance. Although it can solve a temporary emergency, it is not a good policy.
In summer, the temperature is close to the human body temperature, and the main way of human body heat dissipation is sweat evaporation, so using heat to dissipate heat is a better health care method.
1, hot towel to wipe the body: In summer, people's face and trunk will inevitably sweat. Sweating in time can promote skin ventilation, but hot towels must be used to adapt to the cooling rhythm of the human body.
2, take a hot bath: taking a cold bath in summer will shrink the skin, and it will feel hotter after washing, while taking a hot bath will sweat more, but it will expand the capillaries and help the body expel heat. Sweating in summer is a way to conform to the laws of nature and human rhythm.
3, hot water to wash feet: the foot is called the second heart, and there are representative areas of the whole body and reflection points of internal organs on people's feet.
The ancients said, "Washing feet before going to bed is better than tonic." Summer is no exception. Although it felt a little hot at that time, it would bring coolness and comfort afterwards.
4, drink hot tea: cold drinks can only temporarily relieve summer heat, not permanently reduce fever and quench thirst, and drinking hot tea can stimulate the general relaxation of capillaries, but the body temperature is significantly reduced, which is a simple and excellent folk prescription.
In addition, strengthening heat-resistant exercise, improving body temperature regulation function and enhancing heat adaptability can not only enhance physical fitness, but also effectively prevent heat diseases such as heatstroke. [/font][/size][/color]
The way of fitness in summer
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, summer belongs to fire, and a special stage of summer is called "long summer", which belongs to soil alone. Summer health should pay attention to the following aspects:
1. Although the temperature is high, we should take care of the human body's yang. Also known as "nourishing Yang in spring and summer". Yang is the motive force of human beings, fluctuating with the alternation of seasons and the sun and the moon. In summer, the yang is strong and often floats outside, but it is easy to be injured by external evils. Sweating leads to yang death. In other words, in hot summer, it is generally not appropriate to do a lot of exercise, and water and nutrition should be supplemented in time after exercise.
After the long summer, the northern hemisphere will get enough sunshine, the sunshine time will be prolonged and the temperature will rise, so people's sleep will be reduced. People with sleep disorders are more likely to get worse, suffer from insomnia or fidget at night. Chinese medicine says that it is advisable to "go to bed early and get up early" in summer to conform to the solar terms. If you can't go to bed early at night, a proper lunch break at noon is still a good adjustment. It is the best arrangement to get up early in summer and do proper morning exercises.
3. Entering the midsummer season, the temperature is high and the humidity is high, giving people a sultry feeling, which is what Chinese medicine calls long summer. Long summer belongs to the soil in the five elements, corresponding to the spleen of the five internal organs of traditional Chinese medicine, which hates dampness and likes dryness, so long summer often leads to spleen and stomach diseases, loss of appetite, diarrhea and other symptoms. People with weak spleen and stomach should adjust their diet in time, be nutritious without increasing the burden on the spleen and stomach, and eat less and more meals. Sweating in summer often makes people thirsty, but we should be careful not to drink a lot of water before meals, let alone drink a lot of cold drinks. On the contrary, it is easy to damage the spleen and stomach, leading to chronic spleen and stomach diseases.
There are many fruits and vegetables in summer, so you can eat more. But we should pay attention to the taste of fruit, understand our own physique and avoid damage. For example, people with spleen and stomach deficiency should not eat a lot of cool fruits such as watermelon, pear, kiwi fruit and grapefruit; Those with internal fire and phlegm dampness should eat less longan and litchi. Allergic constitution, eat mango, pineapple and so on carefully. As the saying goes, "peaches nourish people, apricots hurt people, and plums kill people." Eating too many plums will make people feel more phlegm, help to get rid of dampness, and even make people feel weak, hot and dizzy. People with urinary calculi should not eat more strawberries; People with stomach acid and diarrhea should eat less bananas; Apples, peaches, grapes, cantaloupes, mulberries, watermelons and other fruits have high sugar content, so diabetics should be careful to eat them.
5. In summer, the yang of the human body floats on the body surface, and it leaks with sweating, which makes the defensive qi insufficient and the resistance decreases. If you feel the external wind at this time, it can also cause wind chill, wind heat and summer dampness. So there are many kinds of colds in summer: wind-cold colds, fever is not obvious, and colds are obviously annoying. At the same time, the runny nose is clear and sneezing repeatedly. At this time, you should take 2 bags of Qinghan granules immediately, take them while they are hot, or drink brown sugar water with sliced onion and ginger every 2-3 hours, and most symptoms will be obviously relieved. If the body temperature rises rapidly, it is accompanied by aversion to cold and throat discomfort. Most of them are wind-heat colds. You can take Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, antiviral oral liquid, Qingkailing and vitamin C Yinqiao tablets in the early stage. If fever is accompanied by nausea or vomiting, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, etc. Most of them are summer-dampness colds, similar to gastrointestinal colds in western medicine. At this time, you should take Huoxiang Zhengqi capsule or water in time, and increase the dose for the first time, 3-4 times a day. At the same time, control your diet and cook some lotus leaf and mung bean porridge.
6. The humid and sultry climate makes people's skin susceptible to infection, and summer is also the season with frequent skin diseases. Pay attention to skin care and take a bath with some natural herbs, which will make people spend a healthy and happy summer. For example, in the mulberry leaf bath, put about100g of mulberry leaves in a pot, boil for 10- 15 minutes, and then pour into the bathtub, which can eliminate skin acne, furuncle and brown spots. Another example is mint bath, which can prevent eczema and prickly heat.
Drink more ginger soup to deal with "air conditioning disease"!
What are the countermeasures for "air conditioning disease" in summer? Perhaps you wouldn't think that the simplest and most effective thing is ginger, which is commonly used in our kitchen.
Zhou Jian, an associate professor of traditional Chinese medicine nutrition at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, told reporters that drinking ginger soup in moderation can not only prevent "air-conditioning diseases", but also have a good therapeutic effect on some symptoms caused by blowing air conditioners and catching cold. There are three main symptoms of diseases caused by blowing air conditioners.
Abdominal pain and stomachache: Many people like to turn on the air conditioner when they sleep at night. The coolness of air conditioning and mat is really cool! But when I got up in the morning, my stomach and abdomen began to hurt, accompanied by diarrhea. It turns out that I caught a cold last night. Drinking ginger soup at this time can dispel the cold in the spleen and stomach, and the effect is very good. For some people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, you can drink ginger and jujube soup (that is, soup made of ginger and jujube), which has the effect of warming and nourishing the stomach. Professor Zhou said: Because ginger focuses on warming and jujube focuses on nourishing, the combination of the two can shrink the stomach and stop vomiting, which is very effective in treating stomach diseases caused by cold.
Limbs ache: After staying in the air-conditioned room for a long time, the joints and waist of the limbs are most vulnerable to cold, which leads to soreness. At this time, you can cook some thick hot ginger soup and soak the affected area with a towel. If the symptoms are serious, you can take some ginger soup orally first, and wash your hands or soak your feet with hot ginger soup externally, which can achieve the effects of dispelling wind and cold, relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation, and relieve pain to the greatest extent.
Cold: It's unbearably hot outside, and it's breezy indoors. Turn on the air conditioner for a long time, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is too large, which is easy to cause a cold. Mainly manifested in aversion to cold, headache, fever, stuffy nose, runny nose, cough and other symptoms, this time drink a bowl of ginger soup, you will find that the symptoms of a cold are much better.
Although ginger soup is very common in life, there are still many exquisite drinking methods. Professor Zhou put forward different suggestions according to different situations:
If you want to prevent "air conditioning disease", you can take some shredded ginger and soak it in water before going to work, so you don't have to worry about the invasion of "air conditioning disease". Friends who like tea can add some green tea, which is not only delicious, but also more beneficial to their health.
To relieve "air-conditioning disease", ginger soup should not be too light or too strong, and drinking a bowl every day can play a role. You can also add a proper amount of brown sugar to ginger soup, because brown sugar has the functions of warming the middle warmer, soothing the liver, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and regulating menstruation. Patients with severe symptoms can drink ginger soup as water.
Five notes on eating ginger in summer
Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, without a doctor's prescription. Since ancient times, Chinese medicine and folk have said that "ginger can cure all diseases". Because ginger contains gingerol, gingerol, phellandrene, citral, spices and other oily volatile oils; There are also gingerol, resin, starch and fiber. Therefore, ginger has the functions of excitement, perspiration, coolness and refreshing in hot season; Can relieve fatigue, fatigue, anorexia, insomnia, abdominal distension, abdominal pain and other symptoms; Ginger also has the function of strengthening the stomach and appetizing. In hot summer, the secretion of saliva and gastric juice will be reduced, which will affect people's appetite. If you eat a few slices of ginger for dinner, it will increase your appetite; Ginger can also relieve or relieve stomach pain. The pain, vomiting, pantothenic acid and hunger caused by gastritis and gastroduodenal ulcer can be quickly eliminated by drinking 50 grams of ginger water.
In summer, the growth and reproduction of bacteria are extremely active, which easily pollutes food and causes acute gastroenteritis. But eating some ginger or taking it with dried ginger and tea in boiling water can play a preventive role. Scientists have found through research that ginger can play the role of some antibiotics, especially for salmonella. Ginger also has the function of killing oral pathogens and intestinal pathogens. Washing with Jiang Shui is effective in treating halitosis and periodontitis.
In summer, people are greedy for coolness and like to use electric fans and air conditioners. It is easy to feel cold and cause a cold. At this time, drinking ginger syrup in time will help to discharge the cold in the body. Chinese medicine believes that ginger can "connect the mind", that is, refresh the mind. When heatstroke faints in summer, a glass of ginger juice can make patients wake up quickly. For patients with general summer heat, which is manifested as dizziness, palpitation, chest tightness and nausea, it is of great benefit to eat ginger soup properly.
There are many ways to eat ginger, such as drinking ginger soup, eating ginger porridge, adding shredded ginger when heating oil, adding sliced ginger when stewing meat, frying fish, adding shredded ginger when making flat food and stuffing dumplings, which can not only make the taste delicious, but also help to wake up the stomach, strengthen the spleen, refresh the mind, promote appetite, help digestion and help the stomach absorb nutrients. However, since ginger has pharmacological effects, we should pay attention to some of its usages and taboos, and pay attention to the following issues:
1. Don't peel it. Some people like to peel ginger, which can't give full play to the overall effect of ginger. Ordinary fresh ginger can be shredded and sliced after washing.
2. Anyone suffering from excessive fire due to yin deficiency, red eyes and internal heat, or carbuncle, furuncle, pneumonia, lung abscess, tuberculosis, gastric ulcer, cholecystitis, pyelonephritis, diabetes and hemorrhoids should not eat ginger for a long time.
3. From the point of view of treatment, ginger brown sugar water is only suitable for patients with cold stomach and fever after a cold or rain, but not for patients with cold or wind-heat cold in summer, let alone for treating heatstroke. Taking fresh ginger juice can cure vomiting caused by cold, but it is ineffective for other types of vomiting.
4. Don't eat rotten ginger. Rotten ginger will produce a very toxic substance, which can denature and necrosis liver cells, thus inducing liver cancer, esophageal cancer and so on. The saying that "rotten ginger doesn't stink" is wrong.
Eating ginger is not the more the better. In hot summer, people are prone to dry mouth, polydipsia, sore throat and sweating. Ginger is spicy and warm, and belongs to hot food. According to the principle of "heat is cold", it is not advisable to eat more. You can put a few slices of ginger when cooking or making soup.
