Chinese medicine believes that "nourishing the kidney" is particularly nourishing. The hour is 23: 00- 1: 00. You may be required to rest at 10:00 on weekdays, but in summer, the time can be postponed and you can go to bed before 1 1:00 at night.
Traditional Chinese medicine health care emphasizes "nourishing yang in spring and summer", and summer corresponds to the "heart" in the five elements, so summer health care focuses on nourishing the heart. In summer, the yang is extremely strong, the sun is like fire, the metabolism of the human body is vigorous, the yang is the outside, the yin is the inside, the qi is smooth, the spirit is full, and the emotions are outward, so that "people correspond to heaven and earth." Therefore, it is said in Huangdi Neijing that at this time, you should lie down and get up early in the evening according to the spirit of the sun, which is a bit like spring, that is, go to bed late and get up early. It looks like the same four words, but it means going to bed late and getting up early, that is, sleeping time should be shorter. You need to stay awake during the day and stay close to nature for longer.
How?
What is the meaning of "insatiable greed for the sun" in Huangdi Neijing? Just don't hate the sun. This is not to say that you have to go to the sun to get heatstroke.
It is really too hot in summer. Modern people have good living conditions, every family has air conditioning, and they hide in air-conditioned rooms in summer. Or hide in a cool place to rest, that is, don't bask in the sun, just hide in a cool place to enjoy the cool, that's called natural summer vacation.
Summer corresponds to people's hearts. Poor nursing and improper health care in summer will hurt their hearts.
In summer, the anger is getting bigger and bigger, which will affect people's hearts. Therefore, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have two high incidence seasons, one is summer and the other is winter. Because people in summer are more likely to get angry, they complain that summer is bitter and bitter.
How can people survive the bitter summer?
In the hot summer, we should pay attention to protect the yang in the body, avoid the invasion of summer evil and avoid the accumulation of heat toxin in the body. We can use more ingredients with the effect of clearing away heat and toxic materials, or make soup or tea, so that we can spend the summer refreshed.
Chinese medicine health experts suggest that you can consider spending the bitter summer at three points:
The first point is spirit and emotion, which is very important. It's hot every day in summer, people are angry and need to hold back the fire. At this time, you must be emotionally stable and don't get angry casually.
The second point is diet, which should be light and eat something to clear the fire. Because fire and bitterness are linked, bitter things can clear fire. For example, bitter gourd and some fresh vegetables are suitable all year round.
The third point is daily life. We should get up early, lie down and get up early at night, and at the same time, we should go out to exercise more and pay attention to exercise.
Choose summer exercise time, don't go out to exercise in broad daylight and when the sun is strong, go to bed late and get up early, and get up early for proper exercise.
