How to exercise in May?
Man:
According to meteorology, if the average daily temperature exceeds 22℃ for five consecutive days, it will be summer in many areas in the south in May, with high temperature and high air humidity, so people should pay attention to heatstroke prevention and cooling. You can drink more boiled water at ordinary times. When sweating too much, it is best to drink some salty boiled water to replenish the salt lost in the body, keep the osmotic pressure balance in the body and ensure good health.
People living in the south should give priority to clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, invigorating spleen and benefiting qi, and it is best to eat light and digestible food. Attention should also be paid to ensuring the human body's needs for calories, protein, vitamins and inorganic salts.
Lady:
Comb your hair at night.
Combing hair here refers to the "taking five meridians" of traditional Chinese medicine. That is to say, press the Du Meridian in the middle of the head, the bladder Meridian and the gallbladder Meridian on both sides with five fingers, add them left and right, and comb the five meridians for 3-5 times, each time for not less than 3-5 minutes.
Chinese medicine believes that the head is the "head of the whole yang", and combing the hair and selecting the five meridians can stimulate the acupuncture points on the head, which can dredge the meridians, regulate the nerve function, enhance secretion activities, improve blood circulation and promote metabolism. Combing your hair often can make your face rosy and refreshed. In addition, it can also prevent and treat insomnia, dizziness, palpitation and stroke.
Old man:
In the "long summer" season, we should maintain a good mental state to avoid sudden anger and sadness, and the elderly should pay more attention to preventing blood stasis and heart attack. Diet, mainly light food with low fat and salt, eat more vegetables and fruits with high vitamin content. Eat a little onion in the morning and drink a little red wine after dinner to keep the blood flowing.
Pregnant women:
Grandma, don't touch the rose tea.
In the hot summer, after work and leisure, I made a cup of rose tea, but I washed away my fatigue. Drinking more roses can also make my face rosy as petals. Roses have a strong function of promoting qi and blood circulation, removing blood stasis and regulating viscera.
The symptoms we usually talk about, such as bad complexion or long spots on the face, menstrual disorder, dysmenorrhea, etc., are all related to abnormal blood circulation and stagnation in the uterus or face. Once qi and blood run normally, they will naturally be ruddy and healthy. Women often have some emotional irritability before or during menstruation, and drinking roses can also play a regulatory role, making the mood calm and stable.
But for pregnant mothers, rose tea is not a good friend: because roses have a strong role in promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, scented tea with blood circulation will lead to abortion. If you like rose tea, you might as well drink it after giving birth.
Precautions for health care in May
No matter in the south or the north, sunny May is a good time for people to go hiking, but people have just passed the winter and their skin is still fragile. If they are exposed to the sun for a long time, ultraviolet rays will damage their skin, leading to dermatitis and sunburn. When going out to play, you must pay attention to protection, such as applying sunscreen to bare skin, wearing a wide-brimmed hat or using an umbrella to shade the sun. Generally, ultraviolet radiation is strongest between 0: 00 a.m. and 3: 00 p.m. in 165438+, and people who are sensitive to ultraviolet radiation had better not go out during this time.
For children, the metabolism is vigorous in spring, endocrine hormones (especially growth hormones) are secreted more, and the body enters the best growth period. Parents should adjust their diet in time, enhance nutrition, encourage their children to engage in outdoor activities, ensure that their children are in a happy mood and get enough sleep, so that their children can grow taller and healthier in May.
