First, live in time. Go to bed late and get up early in summer, and take a nap at noon. Remember not to sit, lie down or sleep for a long time in the corridor, under the eaves or in the shade of the vents. Electric fans should not be used for a long time, because in summer, the outside is steaming at high temperature, sweating a lot, and the pores are wide open, which makes it easy to catch cold. If it is blown for a long time, it may cause headache, lumbar muscle strain, facial paralysis or muscle pain. Second, adjust the diet reasonably. In summer, people's appetite decreases, so they should eat light and digestible food and eat less greasy or fried food. The intake of protein should be sufficient, and it is best to eat foods with high protein content, such as fish, eggs, milk and bean products. Of course, fresh vegetables and fruits are indispensable. In addition, due to sweating in summer, the body loses a lot of water and salt, which will lead to blood concentration and affect blood circulation, especially in elderly patients with hypertension and cerebrovascular sclerosis. So pay attention to drinking a small amount of water many times, and don't wait until you are thirsty. But don't drink too many cold drinks, and don't eat more food like ice cream. Third, it is not advisable to take a cold bath for a long time. If you soak in cold water for a long time, your body temperature will suddenly drop, while the elderly who are prone to catch cold will take a cold bath or soak in cold water for a long time, and your body temperature will suddenly drop, making your joints sore and your limbs numb. Fourth, we should pay attention to heatstroke prevention. It is hot and humid in summer, so it is advisable to prevent the sun from shining and lower the room temperature. The room should be ventilated and cool as far as possible. Open the window in the morning and close it before ten o'clock to prevent the invasion of outdoor hot air. In addition, some appropriate heatstroke prevention drugs should be prepared at home, such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, Refreshing Oil, Ren Dan and Fengyoujing.

Food is the first thing for the people, but "eating" also has its own way. The so-called warm spring, hot summer, cool autumn and cold winter not only shows the natural law of seasonal changes, but also shows the way of eating. In this regard, Wang Guowei, vice president of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, who has a lot of research on diet and health care, said with deep feelings: "The concept of traditional Chinese medicine holds that man and nature are harmonious and unified, and man should conform to the laws of nature, especially in diet." The most basic principle is "to suit people, places and times". For example, watermelon has the functions of dispelling summer heat, clearing heat and diuresis, which is very suitable for summer consumption, but not suitable for people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold. Geographically, due to the rainy season in southern summer, we should eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and dry wet, such as barley; The climate in the north is dry, so we should pay attention to moistening lungs and dryness, and eat more lilies. Of course, besides paying attention to the time and place, it is more important to pay attention to the time and place. There are clouds in Chinese medicine: liver in spring, heart in summer, lung in autumn, kidney in winter and spleen and stomach in four seasons. Heart-protecting food should be the focus of summer, and the following four common heart-protecting fruits and vegetables can be eaten more. Watermelon: besides vexing and quenching thirst, clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. It is suitable for body fluid injury due to heat, polydipsia due to summer heat, dysuria, laryngitis and aphtha. Cucumber: Piqing juice is crisp, tender and delicious, with a water content of about 97%, which is a good product for promoting fluid production and quenching thirst. Fresh cucumber has the effect of clearing away heat and toxic materials, and also has obvious effects on dehumidification, moistening intestines and relieving pain. People with constipation should eat more in summer. Peach: promoting fluid production and moistening intestines, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Suitable for polydipsia, blood stasis, poor stool, unfavorable urination, fullness and other symptoms. Take two tablets every day after lunch and dinner. Bitter gourd: Bitter gourd tastes bitter and cold, and the old melon gradually turns yellow and red, and the taste is sweet and flat. It can eliminate heat evil, relieve fatigue, clear heart and improve eyesight, and people who are tired from work can eat more.
