Summer timetable
Generally speaking, he said, it is advisable to go to bed late and get up early in order to adapt to the changes of yang excess and yin deficiency in nature. Huangdi Neijing said: "In Xia San, people lie down at night and get up early, which means that in summer, people have to get up early every day to meet the fullness and exuberance of yang;" Stay up late to adapt to the shortage of Yin Qi. It's sunny in summer, so don't hate the long and hot days, but do some activities to adapt to the growth of summer. In summer, due to staying up late and getting up early, sleep is relatively insufficient, so after studying and working all morning, you may feel tired and need to take a lunch break to make appropriate compensation. Especially for the elderly, it is easy to wake up after a fake sleep. They get up early in the morning and want to doze off at noon. Therefore, they need to have a rest at noon. In addition, due to the high temperature during the day, excessive sweating, high physical consumption, and the high sun at noon, at this time, human blood vessels dilate, which makes a lot of blood concentrated on the body surface, resulting in uneven blood distribution in the body and reduced blood supply to the brain, so I often feel depressed and sleepy. When you take a nap, you are relieved of fatigue and refreshed, and you can better adapt to the work and labor at noon. But the nap time should not be too long, preferably within an hour. Here is a reminder, don't rush in because of the short nap time, but also pay attention to sleep hygiene.
First of all, don't lie down immediately when eating, but exercise a little to facilitate digestion. When taking a nap, don't sleep in the place where the flow passes, and don't sleep on the table, so as not to oppress your chest and affect your breathing. It's best to take off your coat and cover your abdomen with a towel to avoid getting cold in your stomach and abdomen.
What you need to pay attention to when sleeping in summer is: don't let the electric fan blow directly when sleeping. Better turn off the electric fan. If it is too hot, let the electric fan blow against the ceiling; It is not advisable to sleep outdoors at night, because the body is most vulnerable to wind, cold and humidity in summer, which will cause numbness of hands and feet, facial paralysis and other diseases. Night without enjoying the cool before going to bed, not to mention enjoying the cool in the water pavilion, under the trees, in the aisles and on the balcony for a long time.
summer wear
When people dress up, the first thing to consider is the comfort of clothing, but only the style, color and aesthetic feeling. Summer clothing should be light and soft, and the better the permeability and heat absorption of the material, the more effectively it can help the human body to dissipate heat and make people comfortable and cool to wear.
In hot season, the human body can sweat about 500 ml per hour. Therefore, summer clothing should have good hygroscopicity and moisture dissipation performance in order to absorb sweat and evaporate in time. Clothes with poor hygroscopicity or too smooth inside can't sweat in time, so people will sweat and feel sultry and uncomfortable. Different fabrics have different moisture absorption properties. It is determined that when the air temperature is 24℃ and the relative humidity is 50% ~ 70%, the moisture absorption rate of rayon fiber is 10% ~ 14%, that of mulberry silk fabric is 8% ~ 1 1%, and that of flax is 8.3% ~ 60%. Synthetic fiber has the worst moisture absorption rate, with polyester less than 1% and vinylon only 3%, so even wearing a nylon shirt with large pores will feel stuffy in summer. The reason is that nylon has poor hygroscopicity and cannot absorb sweat and evaporate effectively. Therefore, it is best to choose rayon, silk, linen and cotton knitwear for summer clothing.
Knowledge of blowing air conditioning
Some people are too eager to be cool, so they put the air conditioner close to their bodies and keep blowing for a long time. At this time, the blood circulation of the whole human body will be unbalanced, and sweat excretion will be uneven. There will be symptoms such as headache, dizziness, general malaise, and even stroke in severe cases.
First of all, don't blow too much: modern science thinks that the indoor wind speed should be controlled at 0.2 ~ 0.5 m/s, and the maximum should not exceed 3 m/s. Therefore, the blowing of electric fans should not be too big, especially in well-ventilated rooms and places with through flow; Secondly, it is not appropriate to blow directly at people: direct blowing, the common cold is easy to invade the body, especially when you are weak or sweating, not to mention just having fun, let the wind blow directly at your body, and it is best to let the air conditioner blow in the corner.
It is not advisable to wash feet with cold water in summer.
The summer heat wave attacks people, and some people who wear light sandals and slippers like to wash their feet with cold water. When they finish washing clothes, they will feel much cooler, but doing so often is harmful to their health. Medical research has confirmed that human feet are the farthest branches of blood vessels; The fat layer of feet is thin and the heat preservation is poor; The skin temperature of the sole of the foot is the lowest part of the whole body, which is easy to catch cold. If you often wash your feet with cold water in summer, your feet will get cold further, and then cause a series of complex pathological reactions through vascular conduction, which will eventually lead to various diseases. In addition, because the sweat glands on the soles of the feet are relatively developed, suddenly washing feet with cold water will lead to the sudden closure and blockage of pores, which will lead to the slow perspiration function after a long time. Especially when the sensory nerve endings on the feet are stimulated by cold water, normal vascular tissues contract violently, which will lead to diastolic dysfunction, limb spasm, erythematous limb pain, arthritis, rheumatism and so on for a long time.
