First, beware of external causes.
During the long summer solar term, people often wear thin clothes. Even healthy people should be wary of external factors. Once you get sick, don't use antiperspirant easily to avoid sweating and blood stasis to prevent heart attack. Therefore, in the long summer season, we should be happy, feel at ease, enjoy ourselves and avoid sudden joy and sadness. Eating a little onion in the morning and drinking a little red wine at dinner can promote blood circulation.
Second, avoid greed.
For most people, especially joint patients, we should avoid being greedy for cold in summer, and do not use or moderately use air conditioners and fans. In the workplace, you should tell your colleagues about your illness to gain their understanding, and try not to use air conditioning or raise the temperature properly. It is best to keep a long-sleeved dress and add and subtract clothes with the external environment at any time.
Third, health care should "nourish yang"
"Huangdi Neijing Suwen Siqi Tiaoling" said: "Summer and March are called beautiful months, and everything is gorgeous. Go to bed at night and get up early, and never tire of it for a hundred days, which makes Chi angry, makes Huaying put on a show and vent his anger. If you love the outside, this summer's gas should be the way to keep fit. " In hot summer, many people will suffer from air conditioning disease. People turn on the air conditioner all day long, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor can reach more than ten degrees. In addition, a large number of cold drinks with ice will definitely hurt Yang. Therefore, we should pay attention to the living environment not to be too humid, not to eat too much frozen and cold food, not to adjust the air conditioning temperature too low at night, preferably above 26 degrees, and not to spend the night in the open air and cold places.
Fourth, the diet supplements and eats more "bitterness"
In the aspect of diet nourishing, the principle of nourishing and strengthening the spleen, removing summer heat and removing dampness is adopted in hot days. Fat, sweet and hot products should not be eaten, and light and nourishing food should be chosen.
Sweet, cool and moist foods: wheat, sorghum, highland barley, tofu, white lentils, black sesame seeds, potatoes, Chinese cabbage, lettuce, asparagus, spinach, wax gourd and watermelon. Foods for invigorating spleen and stomach, nourishing yin and invigorating qi: spinach, lotus root, water bamboo, tomatoes, carrots, eggs, apples, milk, grapes, lotus seeds, mulberries, clams, geese, herring, crucian carp, silver carp and barley flour.
Foods for clearing away heat and dampness, clearing away heat and detoxicating: broad bean, red bean, soybean, raw radish, eggplant, Chinese cabbage, celery, water chestnut, coix seed, wax gourd, gourd, cucumber, wax gourd, bitter gourd, chrysanthemum, lotus leaf, tea, etc.
Five, food tonic cool blood
Blood heat will bring a lot of discomfort to people, and qi deficiency and blood heat will affect people's digestive function. Therefore, don't overeat every meal and leave enough room for stomach peristalsis. Give people a relaxed and natural feeling. Paying attention to cooling blood and benefiting qi, going to bed early and getting up early are the seasons for people to store yang and strive for a bumper harvest.
Sixth, mental health.
In hot weather, people's minds are easily disturbed and uneasy. Therefore, at this time, people should pay special attention to mental conditioning, strengthen the maintenance of the heart, especially the elderly should not be overly excited, to maintain a happy mood, enjoy themselves, avoid sudden joy and sadness, and maintain a refreshing and cheerful state.
Seven, add water
If you lose more water in summer, you should drink more water, and warm water is better. Drink seven or eight cups of boiled water every day. The body should keep and replenish water at any time. Water plays a vital role in the human body, maintaining the normal physiological functions of the human body. Water is an indispensable part of human body. Organs, muscles, blood, hair, bones and teeth all contain water, and water loss will be more in summer. If you don't replenish water in time, it will seriously affect your health, make your skin dry, increase wrinkles and accelerate human aging. In addition, mineral water, herbal tea, milk and apple juice are all ideal thirst-quenching drinks.
Eight, timely life
Go to bed late and get up early in summer, and try to take a nap at noon. Remember not to sit, lie 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.
Nine, skin itching precautions
When traveling in summer, when the skin is itchy and dry due to the sun, you can apply a small amount of ointment such as Fusong, do not burn with hot water, and do not wash with alkaline soap to avoid irritating the skin and aggravating the symptoms.
Ten, do some heart-nourishing exercises.
In summer, the amount of exercise should not be too large or too intense. Sweat a little after exercise to avoid excessive exercise and excessive sweating. For those who still insist on exercising in summer, you can choose to practice Tai Ji Chuan and Tai Ji Chuan, which are both dynamic and static, both rigid and flexible, with moderate opening and closing, ups and downs, impartial figure, upright body, inviolable cold, and natural yin and yang. It can be said that it is one of the best heart-nourishing exercises in summer.
XI。 Supplement salt, potassium and vitamins.
Sweating more in summer, and more potassium ions are lost with sweat, leading to hypokalemia, which will cause fatigue, dizziness, headache, loss of appetite and other symptoms. The most effective way to prevent potassium deficiency in hot weather is to eat more foods containing potassium. Fresh vegetables and fruits contain more potassium, so you can eat more strawberries, apricots, lychees, peaches and plums. Vegetables include green onions, celery, edamame, etc., and are also rich in potassium. Tea also contains more potassium. Drinking more tea in hot weather can relieve summer heat and supplement potassium, killing two birds with one stone.
In summer, the human body sweats a lot, and sodium chloride loses a lot. Pay attention to supplementing salt while replenishing water. Drink some salty boiled water every day to keep the acid-base balance and osmotic pressure in the body relatively stable. Nutritionists also suggest that it is best to supplement vitamin B 1, vitamin B2 2 mg and calcium 1 g every day in high temperature season, which can reduce the consumption of sugar and tissue protein in the body and is beneficial to human health. Therefore, we should eat more foods rich in the above nutrients in summer, such as watermelon, cucumber, tomato, beans and their products, animal liver, shrimp skin and so on. You can also drink some juice.
Twelve, try to wear light clothes.
Dark clothes will absorb sunlight and make people's body temperature rise and dry; At the same time, mosquitoes have the habit of blackening, and dark colors are easy to attract mosquitoes, especially black.
