Chinese medicine is about how to cultivate good spirit.
Neijing, an ancient Chinese medicine book, mentioned that the human body has three treasures: essence, qi and spirit. Exquisite feet are full of qi, and qi is full of vitality. On the contrary, weak qi hurts the spirit and greatly affects the mood. In summer, people should learn to recharge their batteries, recharge their batteries, and recharge their batteries to make their bodies healthier. 1. Sleep when you should, don't stay up late. Professor Dong Yanling, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in Taiwan Province Province, believes that people who often stay up late for a long time are usually deficient in essence. Because 1 1 in the morning is the time when the viscera and blood run. During this period, blood flows back to the liver to store essence (energy). If you don't sleep, it is equivalent to forcing the liver to continue to decompose and work, and energy can't be stored, which will lead to liver yin deficiency, disharmony between yin and yang, rising liver fire, and qi deficiency and fatigue. 2. Try to do moderate exercise. Dong Yanling thinks Tai Chi, Qigong or Yuanji Dance are all good meditation exercises. Rao Huaiying, the coach of the School of Health, explained that too intense exercise leads to a lot of sweating, and losing a lot of body fluids is equivalent to losing a lot of physical strength and emotional excitement. She suggested that it is best to exercise, less exposure to the sun for a long time, or engage in strenuous exercise. Because the body transports oxygen by breathing, if it is short of breath, just like when the water flow is large, it can only flow into the thicker water pipe, and oxygen will soon enter the thicker blood vessels in the body, but it is not easy to obtain oxygen from the thinner blood vessels. Therefore, if you want to let the tiny water pipe enter the water, you can only turn down the water column of the faucet and inject it bit by bit. Choose moderate exercise and keep gentle and leisurely breathing. Only tiny blood vessels or meridians in the body can get enough nutrition. 3. Avoid eating food that is too "turbid". Eating refreshing food in summer, too "turbid" food is easy to gain weight and make you feel groggy. Cooking methods are also as light as possible, avoiding frying and frying. Sweets are high in calories, so eat less. Dong Yanling believes that modern people's diet is too chaotic and has not been adjusted according to the natural time sequence. Eating barbecue on a hot day is tantamount to accelerating the heart fire. 4. Eat less cold food. Ice water or ice products are the most popular food in midsummer, but eating too much can easily lead to imbalance between cold and heat. When the external environment temperature is high, we think that cold food can cool down, but we ignore that the internal temperature is higher (sometimes as high as 37 degrees Celsius), and the human body's adaptability and temperature regulation ability are not so strong. Suddenly drinking ice water into your body can't stand it, which easily leads to distraction and depression. Relieve the heat and soothe the nerves, drink chrysanthemum tea, honeysuckle tea and mung bean soup. But people with cold stomach should drink less, drink more boiled water and eat tremella, lotus seeds or lilies to replenish qi. 5. The actions in daily life are neither urgent nor slow. Chinese medicine pays great attention to "harmony". If qi is abnormal and unnatural, it will easily cause physical and mental diseases. In fact, it is not difficult to stay healthy through meditation. As long as you walk, live, sit and lie in your daily life, you can keep your movements leisurely and make your breathing balanced and orderly, and "Qi" will naturally be "harmonious". When the qi is smooth, it is converted into enough activity energy, and the body and mind are relaxed, and the heart naturally calms down. 6. Be less angry, don't be angry. The main fire in summer is the most energetic season in a year, which is easy to be impatient and affects your health. "Before you get angry, leave a second to think about whether you should lose your temper." Rao Huaiying said that it is necessary to learn to hold your horses and manage your emotions well, that is, to "cultivate your mind". Her own practice is to make it clear when things make her feel awkward. If you want to express your opinion without emotion, throw away the adjectives that will hurt people and communicate directly with the event itself, so it is best to "speak without emotion"
