In summer, it is very easy to damage body fluid and consume gas, which will be taken away with body fluid, resulting in insufficient body fluid and insufficient gas. Its yang deficiency is characterized by sweating, cold limbs, listlessness, loss of appetite, thin stool, pale tongue and weak pulse; Yin-blood deficiency is manifested as five annoyances, hot flashes in the afternoon, palpitations, insomnia, dizziness and so on. To this end, Liu Jianping reminded that when eating in summer, on the one hand, we should strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach, promote digestion and absorption, and at the same time, we should relieve summer heat, promote fluid production and quench thirst. Tonics should be small, light and delicious.

In summer, you should eat more products that nourish the heart and soothe the nerves, clear away heat and promote diuresis, such as Poria cocos, Ophiopogon japonicus, jujube, lotus seeds, lilies, bamboo leaves, Coicis Semen, lentils and lotus leaves. At the same time, we should eat more products that nourish yin and promote fluid production, such as lotus root powder, tremella, watermelon and duck meat. Eat more bitterness in summer. Because suffering from heart meridian can clear away heat and trouble, such as bitter gourd and lotus seed core.

Drink water regularly, and don't binge when you are thirsty.

In hot summer, the temperature rises, the human body is full of yang, the blood circulation is fast, the skin is slack and sweaty, so that the body loses too much water, and symptoms such as dry mouth and thirst may appear. Liu Jianping said, don't wait until you are thirsty to drink water, and don't binge drink after you are thirsty. Drink water regularly and replenish water in time.

Many people rely on cold drinks to provide energy and moisture. Moderate cold drinks will make people feel cool and comfortable. However, if you drink too many cold drinks, you will be happy for a while, which will lead to indigestion, stomach pain, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. Therefore, warm water is still the best choice to replenish human moisture. In summer, water intake should be appropriately increased to avoid dehydration.

Live in summer, stay up late and get up early, and live regularly. Liu Jianping said, we should pay attention to the appropriate supplementary nap, and it is appropriate to take a nap for half an hour to 1 hour. In addition, after falling asleep in summer, if you use air conditioners or electric fans excessively, you will be vulnerable to wind, resulting in facial paralysis, arthritis, sciatica, diarrhea and other symptoms. So pay attention to avoid the cool breeze when sleeping, and don't be too greedy.

When exercising in summer, it is advisable to sweat a little.

Summer sports are best carried out in the early morning or evening when the weather is cool, and the venue should be chosen in places with fresh air such as rivers, lakes, parks and courtyards. In this regard, Zhao Yuan, the attending physician of the Department of Spleen and Stomach Diseases of Hebei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that the amount of exercise in summer should not be too large or intense. It should be moderate exercise and a little sweating to avoid excessive exercise and sweating.

For those who still insist on exercising in summer, Zhao Yuan pointed out that they can choose to practice Tai Ji Chuan, natural calisthenics and other exercises with dynamic and static combination, rigid and flexible combination, moderate opening and closing, and ups and downs. In addition, swimming is also a good choice, which can not only improve the function of respiratory system, but also increase the excitement of cerebral cortex, but you should make full preparations before swimming.

Zhao Yuan said that in summer, the human body has the strongest yang and the most healthy qi; Sweat gland pores are open, and the skin is slack. It is most easy for acupoint application drugs to penetrate into acupoints and meridians from the skin, and directly reach the affected area through meridians and qi and blood, so the pathogens in the body are more easily excreted through sweat. Therefore, summer is a good time to prevent and recuperate spleen and stomach diseases.
