At this time, snakes, insects, rats and ants began to be restless and began to wreak havoc on a large scale, so the ancients called May of the lunar calendar "the month of five poisons".
The "five poisons" in most areas refer to scorpions, snakes, geckos, centipedes and toads. On the southern Dragon Boat Festival, many people will insert mugwort leaves at home just to prevent these "poisons" from coming home.
(1) In May of the lunar calendar, the weather is extremely hot, which leads to the rapid loss of body fluids. We need to drink a small amount of water many times, and we can't wait until we are thirsty. When we feel thirsty, it means that our bodies are short of water. If we drink water, we should drink warm water instead of ice water.
(2) According to the sleep theory of Huangdi Neijing, the earliest medical classic in China, health preservation can not be separated from high-quality sleep. Pay attention to ensure "meridian sleep" every day, from 23: 00-0 1: 00 (the next day) to noon 1 1:00-65438+.
(3) Pay attention to a light diet, avoid being too greasy, and eat more foods that clear away heat and promote diuresis, such as coix seed, adzuki bean, mung bean and wax gourd.
(4) There is a saying that when you are in a good mood, all diseases disappear. In hot summer, you need to be cheerful and relaxed, and anxiety will be poisoned in May.

Jade dumplings attack the fragrance of thousands of families, and wormwood yellow wine can exorcise evil spirits.
Father and son riding sachets, and a pretty daughter-in-law meet the scenery.
