Summer is the end of summer, and the national calendar turns to autumn on August 23rd and 24th. It's very hot during the day and it's getting colder and colder at night. Climate change has made many people feel tired and uninterested during this time. The following are the principles of keeping in good health in summer for your reference.

Six principles of health preservation in summer

1, Wear Tips: Don't add clothes in a hurry. "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. However, when you go out at night, you should add clothes to protect the yang.

2, sleep tips at night: close the doors and windows, cover the abdomen with a thin quilt to prevent the autumn wind cycle, so that the spleen and stomach are cold.

During the summer solar term, the elderly are prone to qi and blood deficiency, and they may suffer from insomnia if they don't sleep at night, so the elderly should adhere to the good habit of taking a nap at this time.

The ancients emphasized the importance of taking a "nap" in sleep health. The so-called "nap" means falling asleep at noon and noon every day. Noon refers to the morning to 4 o'clock, and noon refers to 12 to 1.

Meridian and Yin and Yang overlap. At this time, the human body has ups and downs of yin and yang, and qi and blood are out of balance, so it is necessary to lie still.

From morning to 4 o'clock, the function of various organs of the body drops to the lowest point, and the most tired time of human sympathetic nerve is from noon 12: 00 to 1: 00. It is best to go to bed during these two periods.

3, indoor tips: as long as the room temperature is not high during the day, it is not appropriate to turn on the air conditioner. You can open the window to let the air circulate, so that autumn can kill the humid and turbid air left in the room by the summer heat.

4, disease prevention tips: before the autumn equinox, the climate variables are large, the temperature is hot before the rain, and the temperature is cold after the rain, which is easy to cause people's colds or wind-heat colds. Use diet to restore balance in time.

5, dietary tips: you can eat warm food. People with acne-free and reddish complexion can eat some foods such as pepper and pepper if they have the habit of eating spicy food. People who have drinking habits can drink less in moderation, and white wine and yellow wine must be heated; The staple food * * * white flour is also for invigorating qi; Those who like to eat red dates and longan can eat a few in the morning; People who like to eat sour taste can eat some sour food in moderation, and the sour taste will converge.

6. Try not to eat radishes, except carrots. Radish governs qi. At this time, people's qi and blood are insufficient, and eating radish is easy to hurt.

Seven points for attention in summer fitness.

First, 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. Therefore, from the perspective of health, the daily routine should be adjusted accordingly.

Second, eat more foods that clear away heat and soothe the nerves, and less spicy and sour.

From the health point of view, it is suitable to eat foods that clear away heat and soothe the nerves, such as tremella, lily, lotus seeds, honey, yellow croaker, scallop, kelp, jellyfish, celery, spinach, glutinous rice, sesame, beans, milk, etc., but these foods should not be eaten too much at a time, so as to eat less and eat more meals.

Third, avoid adding clothes too early.

The common sense of autumn health care suggests that "cold 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. However, when you go out at night, you should add clothes to protect the yang. At the same time, it is cold in the morning and evening, so we should pay attention to increasing clothes.

Fourth, pay attention to keep your stomach warm.

Close the doors and windows at night, cover the abdomen with a thin quilt, and keep the stomach warm in autumn to prevent the spleen and stomach from catching cold due to the autumn wind cycle. According to the laws of nature, yin increases and yang decreases in autumn, and the corresponding yang of human body is also absorbed in order to store yang in the body.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) about movement.

No matter which season, it is absolutely right to keep exercising. The advantage of exercise after autumn is that after a certain period of exercise in an environment with gradually decreasing temperature, it can promote the body's material metabolism, increase heat production and improve its adaptability to low temperature.

Sixth, open more windows and less air conditioning.

As long as the room temperature is not high during the day, it is not appropriate to turn on the air conditioner. Points for attention in autumn health care point out that windows should be opened as much as possible in autumn to make the air circulate and let the air killed in autumn clean up the humid and turbid air left indoors during the summer vacation. Indoor plants, such as potted citrus, chlorophytum, zebra leaf rubber tree, asparagus and other green plants, can regulate indoor air and increase oxygen content.

Seven, love the navel.

After the summer solar term, the weather is getting colder, and people begin to gradually transition from heatstroke prevention to cold protection and warmth. Everyone knows that cold starts from the feet, and health care first raises the feet, but less attention is paid to the navel, which is also very susceptible to cold. The epidermis at the navel is the thinnest, there is no adipose tissue under the skin, but there are abundant nerve endings and nerve plexus, so it is particularly sensitive to external * * *, and it is the easiest to penetrate and spread. If it is not properly protected, the cold can easily invade the human body through the navel. If the cold goes straight into the stomach, it will cause acute abdominal pain and diarrhea and vomiting. If the cold gradually accumulates in the lower abdomen for a long time, it will also lead to diseases of the urogenital system, such as chronic prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia and impotence in men, dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation in women, and even amenorrhea and infertility in severe cases.
