Through physical exercise, the functions of harmonizing viscera, dredging qi and blood and dredging meridians can be achieved. In summer, the yang in the human body increases with the natural yang.
At this time, exercise should contribute to the growth of yang in the body; However, the hot weather in summer consumes many people. Long-term exercise in the sun can lead to heatstroke. At this time, it is necessary to choose appropriate sports, such as Tai Ji Chuan, Taijijian, jogging, walking and swimming.
Step 2 adapt to daily life
In summer, the days are long and the nights are short. People get up early and go to bed late, which easily leads to insufficient sleep. Therefore, it is more necessary to take a lunch break to eliminate fatigue, keep energetic and rest the brain and body.
However, a lunch break is not beneficial to everyone. For example, patients with low blood pressure and blood circulation disorder, especially those with cerebrovascular sclerosis, stenosis and frequent dizziness, are not suitable for taking a nap; Because there is more blood in the digestive system after lunch and the brain is relatively ischemic and anoxic, such patients can't achieve the purpose of rest.
Therefore, it is said in Neijing that "living without restraint will decline after half a century", which shows the importance of living for health preservation.
3. Diet regulation
The human body is peaceful in yin and yang, with sufficient yang heat in summer and relatively insufficient yang in the body; Therefore, people who are weak in yang, often afraid of cold and easy to catch a cold should eat more products to tonify yang in summer. At this time, the spleen and stomach function decreased. Greedy injury to the spleen and stomach, easy to vomit and diarrhea; Moreover, it is not suitable for eating greasy and sweet food, because the digestion and decomposition function of the spleen and stomach is weakened, and excessive consumption will help to produce damp heat.
Therefore, the principle of summer diet should be light, less greasy, mainly warm, and eat more vegetables, lean meat and seasonal fruits.
