At the turn of spring and summer, the weather turned cloudy and sunny, the temperature difference between day and night was large, the rainfall began to increase, and the air humidity was high. People's health care can't leave the track of natural environment changes, but should follow the law of solar terms changes and achieve "six defenses". Here are some explanations.

0 1

Moisture-proof pathogen

At this time, it is in the transitional stage of spring and summer, sometimes it is as hot as summer, and sometimes there will be strong cold air. In daily life and clothes, those who leave early and return late should pay attention to increasing or decreasing clothes in time to avoid catching cold. At this time, the humidity is high, and rheumatism is easy to recur. So don't stay in a damp place for a long time, pay attention to the warmth of joints, especially the exposed parts are the most vulnerable to moisture. Wear clothes to protect joints. You can wear cropped sleeves or cropped pants.

02

Allergy prevention

In early summer, the weather turns hot, the air humidity is high, and all kinds of bacteria are extremely active. At this time, people are most likely to induce allergic diseases such as facial allergy, allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma. Therefore, people with allergies should pay special attention to protection during this period, avoid contact with allergens during outdoor activities, and pay attention to reducing the intake of high-protein and high-calorie foods in the diet. The fundamental way to prevent allergies is to recuperate and get more sunshine. Because there are all kinds of important Shu points on the back, regular sun exposure can strengthen yang and warm meridians.

03

Epidemic prevention disease

In late spring and early summer, the climate is warm and humid, and mosquitoes, flies and bacteria multiply and grow rapidly, which is easy to spread diseases. Pay special attention to the prevention of hand, foot and mouth disease in children. Mosquitoes like to lay eggs in small areas of stagnant water. In places where water is easy to accumulate indoors and outdoors, such as indoor flower pots, sewers, kitchens, bathrooms, etc., attention should be paid to comprehensively cleaning up sanitary corners and sundries. When necessary, mosquito-repellent incense, drugs, light sources and other mosquito repellent can be used appropriately. Daily indoor ventilation, drying clothes as much as possible, and washing and drying daily necessities and toys regularly are also ways to prevent hand, foot and mouth disease.

04

Prevention of spleen injury

Pay attention to the maintenance of the spleen and stomach in diet. While following the principle of "less acid and more sweetness", we should eat more products that can strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, such as yam, adzuki bean, coix seed, lentils, carp and crucian carp. Because the temperature rises rapidly, some people can't wait to eat cold drinks, which is easy to damage the spleen and stomach. At this time, it is best to drink Jianpi tea often.

05

Anti-hepatomegaly

After Grain Rain, the yang in nature suddenly rose, and the spring yang should be in the liver, which is easy to cause the hyperactivity of liver yang, and then induce common diseases such as nasal cavity, gum bleeding, toothache, headache and dizziness, red eyes and eye diseases, which is also commonly known as "getting angry". In addition to avoiding staying up late, we should also pay attention to regulating emotions, suppressing anger and nourishing the liver. Pressing Taichong point can also help prevent liver hyperactivity: press 1 ~ 3 minutes every day and rub 100 ~ 300 times. Taichong point is located on the dorsal side of the foot, which is a depression behind the first metatarsal space.

06

Prevent sweating

At this time, the human body is prone to sweating, and excessive sweating will affect the health of qi and blood in summer. Therefore, keep in mind the principle of "being lazy and not sweating, keeping dirty", you can choose jogging and flying kites.

Special tips

Pay attention to sun protection during outdoor activities in spring. When exposed to a certain intensity of sunlight, most people may get sunburned. People with photosensitive skin diseases should pay more attention to physical sun protection and avoid going out at noon with strong ultraviolet rays. When going out, they should wear umbrellas, hats, wide-brimmed hats and long-sleeved clothes to avoid direct skin exposure. If possible, you can apply sunscreen to the exposed parts 10- 15 minutes before going out.
