What do you need to pay attention to in summer health?
First, you can't stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time.
It is easy to accumulate moisture in an air-conditioned room for a long time, which reduces the body's immunity.
Second, drink cold drinks in moderation.
After ice water enters the body, it will seriously stimulate the intestines and stomach, and some intestines and stomach are prone to diarrhea. Drinking cold drinks for a long time is easy to reduce the body's metabolic ability.
Third, proper exercise.
Because I am afraid of heat in summer, I always stay in an air-conditioned house, but I also need proper exercise. Exhausting excess water through exercise is good for detoxification.
Fourth, the taste is light.
Summer is the season for eating. Although it is really refreshing when eating, we should also pay attention to eating as little food as possible that is high in salt, oil and fat. Eating like this for a long time will not only gain weight, but also make your skin bad.
5. Drink ice water after exercise
Originally, the body is in a state of fever. Drinking ice water directly will cause serious irritation to the stomach and intestines, which will become very fragile and reduce the digestive capacity of the system.
Sixth, drink plenty of water.
In summer, water is easy to evaporate, so you must replenish a lot of water to your body, especially after exercise. Drinking a cup of warm and light salt water can not only quench your thirst, but also help your body replenish lost iodine.
the last point
Pay attention to sun protection, ultraviolet rays are very strong in summer, and long-term exposure is easy to get sunburned.
What to eat for health in summer?
1. You can choose some cool fruits to eat. In daily life, you can choose watermelon, cantaloupe, pitaya, apples, grapes and other fruits, and take a small amount every day.
