In the four seasons of the year, summer is the season with the highest yang, and the climate is hot and full of vitality. At this time, the human body is in a period of vigorous metabolism, and the skin pores are opened to drain water, so that sweat can be discharged, and the body temperature can be adjusted by sweating to adapt to the hot summer climate. The principles that should be paid attention to in summer health preservation are:

First, the spirit of aftercare

Summer should be refreshing, cheerful and open-minded, so that the soul can be nourished. Therefore, we should have a wide range of interests and hobbies in summer, and take part in some recreational activities, summer camp activities, travel, summer vacation and so on, which can not only make people relaxed and happy, but also exercise.

Second, daily aftercare

Go to bed late and get up early in summer, conform to nature and maintain yang. Due to the extremely high temperature in summer and short sleep time at night, it is necessary to take a proper nap to maintain abundant energy. In terms of clothes, because it is hot and sweaty, clothes should be thinner, and clothes should be washed and changed frequently. Wearing wet clothes and sweaty clothes for a long time will irritate the skin and cause many diseases.

Third, diet and health.

In summer, when yang is outside and yin is inside, people's digestive function is weak. Food nursed back to health should focus on clearing heat and relieving summer heat, invigorating spleen and benefiting qi. Therefore, the diet should be light and refreshing, less greasy and easy to digest. In hot summer, people often feel thirsty because of sweating. Proper use of cold drinks can help the body to dissipate heat, supplement water, salt and vitamins, and play a role in clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, such as watermelon, mung bean soup and red bean soup. However, it is forbidden to overeat cold drinks, uncooked fruits and vegetables. Because eating cold food, otherwise, drinking too much cold food will make the gastrointestinal tract cold and cause diseases.

Fourth, exercise recuperation.

Summer sports: It is best to choose suitable sports in the early morning or evening when the weather is cool, such as swimming, Tai Ji Chuan, Taijijian, aerobics, radio exercises, jogging, walking, mountain climbing, etc. It is conducive to regulating emotions and improving health.
