0 1、? Dynamic yang?
As the name implies, exercise can make the body sweat, and tonifying yang is a common method applicable all year round. But there is an old saying in China? Practice three or nine in winter and three volts in summer? I believe many friends have heard of it. Then, it happened that you chose to sweat actively at the hottest time of the year. Are there any corresponding benefits? The answer is yes, whether it is male or female, proper exercise and sweating in dog days is a treasure, especially for people with deep cold accumulation. Because you often sweat when you don't exercise in dog days, summer corresponds to five elements of fire, and the heart corresponds to five elements of fire, so using exercise to help your body sweat will maximize the effect of detoxification (including expelling cold). But it should be noted that exercise should also be moderate.
02. Get enough sleep
Although sleep is static, it is also an important method to cultivate healthy qi and yang. If you can take a nap at noon in the dog days, that is, between 1 1, even if it is only for a short time, it is excellent for your body to get rid of dampness and nourish yang. In addition, many night owl friends should pay attention, that is, 23:00- 1am, and need to sleep. Never think about staying up late, you can make up for it during the day. In addition, there are differences between going to bed early and going to bed late, getting up early and getting up late, for example, going to bed early can tonify kidney yin and so on.
03, bask in the back
The sun is the biggest source of yang between heaven and earth, especially in dog days. The sun in the dog days really missed a year's wait, because many cold friends are waiting hard to use the sun in the dog days to drive away the cold and nourish the yang? Winter disease is cured in summer? Prime time.
There is a governor vein on the back of the human body, which is in charge of the yang of the whole body. By drying the back, the yang can be effectively stimulated. However, it should be noted that the drying of the back should be gradual to avoid sunburn on the back. After the back is dry, the pores will open and sweat a lot. At this time, remember not to eat cold food immediately, and don't blow air conditioners and fans, otherwise the opposite effect will easily occur.
04, soak your feet
Speaking of soaking feet, many friends will think that soaking feet is only suitable for winter, but it is not. Soaking feet in summer is better. I used to soak my feet in ice water. It's really uncultured and terrible to think about it. It turns out that soaking feet with hot water in dog days is the correct way to get rid of dampness. If you add some pepper to the water, it will also have the icing on the cake effect of dispelling cold and strengthening yang.
05, the use of ginger
Do you need a doctor's prescription to eat radish in winter and ginger in summer? ,? Men can't live without ginger for a hundred days? This statement has been circulating in China for a long time, and it makes sense. Ginger has many wonderful uses and is a good product in Chinese medicine to help yang. Get up in the morning, cut two or three slices of ginger, add three or five red dates and crush them. If your constitution is particularly cold, you can add some brown sugar and boil it in water, which is a very good way for people to nourish yang.
The above is my own way.
