1, long summer health
1, get up early and walk among the flowers, so that your mind can rest.
After the long summer, with the increase of temperature, the increase of perspiration and the decrease of outdoor activities, the elderly and white-collar workers who often sit for a long time are prone to different degrees of qi stagnation and blood stasis symptoms. How to promote blood circulation and prevent cardiovascular diseases?
Zhang Ming, chief physician of Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, said that in the long summer, you should go to bed early and get up early, and pay attention to yang, so as to better protect cardiovascular health. Especially avoid sweating, because excessive sweating will lead to electrolyte disorder and damage the yang in the body. However, not exercising is not good for heart health. What should I do? The coolest time in summer is early morning. You might as well get up early in the morning and take a walk in the tree-lined flowers near your residence, which will help to relax your mood, promote the sublimation of yang in your body, promote blood circulation and enhance your metabolic function.
2. The efficiency of rolling your eyes during a nap is doubled.
After the long summer, the weather is hot, the days are long and the nights are short. Many readers will gradually feel that they are not getting enough sleep at night. After a busy morning of study and work, the consumption of physical strength and energy can be imagined. Therefore, after the long summer, taking a nap plays a key role in disease prevention and health preservation.
Chief physician Zhang Ming said that Chinese medicine believes that the heart governs the gods, which is the so-called "heart hides the gods." "God" in a broad sense refers to the external expression of the whole human life activities, including the image, complexion, eyes, words, reactions and gestures of physical activities. "God" in a narrow sense, that is, the mind dominated by the heart, refers to people's spirit, consciousness and thinking activities. Many readers and friends know that "closing your eyes and resting your mind" is actually nourishing your heart. If you can practice eye movements at the beginning of a nap, you can not only improve the quality of a nap, but also effectively relieve visual fatigue, thus improving the work efficiency in the afternoon. The specific method is to turn your eyes from left to right for 9 times, then from right to left for 9 times, then close your eyes for a while, and then open your eyes quickly.
3. comb the "five classics" at night to prevent stroke.
In the long summer, the daytime working hours of many units are correspondingly extended. Everyone should adjust the work plan and the pace of life in time, and slow down the pace appropriately, especially after returning home. Chief physician Zhang Ming said that many readers have the habit of combing their hair in the morning, but few people comb their hair at night.
But here you are taught to comb your hair not with a comb, but with your fingers, and it is not an ordinary method of combing your hair, but "taking five classics." How? First, the Du meridian in the middle of the head, the bladder meridian and the gallbladder meridian on both sides of the head are respectively pressed with five fingers, and the left and right meridians are added together, which is called "taking five meridians". After going home for a short rest, comb for 3 ~ 5 times, each time for not less than 3 ~ 5 minutes, and it is best to do it again before going to bed at night. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the head is the "head of all yang", and combing the hair and "selecting five meridians" can stimulate the acupuncture points on the head, dredge meridians, regulate nerve function, enhance secretion activities, improve blood circulation and promote metabolism. Combing your hair often can make your face rosy and refreshed. In addition, it can also prevent and treat insomnia, dizziness, palpitation and stroke.
2. Beware of misunderstandings in health care in the long summer season.
1, drinking more beer can relieve summer heat.
On a hot day, drinking beer does feel cool. But drinking too much will make people feel thirsty and warm all over. Because beer contains alcohol, if you drink too much at a time, the alcohol content entering the human body will be too high.
If you keep drinking beer, the feeling of "warmth" brought by alcohol will continue, and the symptoms of thirst and sweating will be aggravated.
The earlier you do morning exercises, the better.
Many people think that the earlier you do morning exercises in summer, the better. In fact, the air is not fresh before dawn or when it is foggy, which is not conducive to fitness.
According to experts' research, before 6 o'clock in the summer morning, pollutants in the air are the most difficult to spread, which is the peak of pollution. In addition, before sunrise, there was not much fresh oxygen around the green plants because there was no photosynthesis.
Practicing too early in the morning is easy to catch a cold, causing joint pain, stomach pain and other diseases. Therefore, the time for morning exercise in summer should not be earlier than 6 o'clock.
4. The air conditioner should be kept at a constant temperature.
Air conditioning is used in summer, and many people are used to setting the temperature at a certain value. In fact, constantly adjusting the room temperature can make people's physiological temperature regulation mechanism always in a "tense state", thus improving people's adaptability and self-protection ability, so as to avoid catching colds or other room diseases.
Of course, when the air conditioner is used for adjustment for the first time, the temperature change range should be controlled between 3 degrees Celsius and 5 degrees Celsius; After half a month, the amplitude can be gradually increased to 6 degrees Celsius to 10 degrees Celsius. Don't change the temperature too suddenly, and it is advisable to adjust it at 1 Celsius to 2 Celsius every time.
The darker the sunglasses, the more you can protect your eyes.
Many people think that the darker sunglasses are, the better they can protect their eyes. This view is wrong. If the color of the lens is too dark, it will seriously affect the visibility and cause harm to the eyes. Experts suggest that it is best to choose sunglasses lenses that can transmit 15% to 30% visible light, especially gray and green.
Summary: I hope everyone can notice some key points and misunderstandings of seasonal health care in long summer introduced in the above small series, especially the light diet and the emphasis on mental health care.
