Matters needing attention in summer health care
1, sleep for an extra hour
Summer heat is an alternating period from hot to cool, and the yang in nature tends to converge, and the ups and downs of yin and yang in the human body also change accordingly.
Add an hour's sleep, but also ensure a quality nap. Before winter comes, save your strength and save your strength. Adequate sleep can make people energetic and reduce the occurrence of "autumn sleep".
2, eat more heat and soothe the nerves.
After the summer heat, the temperature difference between morning and evening begins to change obviously, and some gastrointestinal diseases are prone to occur at this time.
Summer food:
Clearing heat and calming nerves: tremella, lily, lotus seed, honey, yellow croaker, scallop, kelp, jellyfish, celery, spinach, glutinous rice, sesame, beans and milk;
Nourishing yin and moistening dryness: pear, rock sugar, tremella, adenophora, duck;
Yiqi Health Care: Radix Astragali, Radix Codonopsis, Squid, Turtle.
But these foods should not be eaten too much at a time, so as to eat less and eat more meals.
3. Avoid adding clothes too early
"Freezing in spring and freezing in autumn" means keeping the body temperature low in autumn, which is conducive to the convergence of yang. Because when heat goes out, there will be cold exchange. But pay attention to add clothes at night, in the morning and evening, or when you go out.
4, pay attention to keep the stomach warm
Pay attention to keep your stomach warm in autumn to prevent the autumn wind circulation from cooling your spleen and stomach. Close the doors and windows at night and cover your abdomen with a thin quilt. As the weather turns cold, many people will feel lazy and exhausted, which is what people often call the "autumn drought" in summer siesta.
5. Take good care of your navel
Cold comes from the feet, and health care first raises the feet. In fact, people's navel is also very susceptible to cold. The epidermis at the navel is the thinnest, and there is no adipose tissue under the skin, but there are rich nerve endings and nerve plexus, so it is particularly sensitive to external stimuli and is the easiest to penetrate and spread.
How to eat health care?
Is it spicy to eat sour?
To protect lung yin in autumn, sour taste has the effect of moistening lung and converging. Pepper, pepper, cinnamon, ginger, onion, wine and other foods are hot, lose a lot of water in cooking, and easily get angry after eating. Ancient medical books warned: "Don't eat ginger in autumn within one year."
Eat "fruit" instead of "melon"
There is a folk saying that "autumn melons hurt the stomach", and some delicious melons are mostly yin and cold. Eating too much will damage the spleen and stomach. Pear can moisten the lungs, resolve phlegm and relieve cough, and it is the most recommended fruit in autumn; Apple is rich in vitamins and potassium, which is not only beneficial to patients with cardiovascular diseases, but also can stop diarrhea.
Eat while it's hot, not cold.
The weather is changeable in September, so don't eat too much cold and raw food. It's autumn, so you'd better eat more warm food.
