As the weather turns hot, the summer that young people like is coming. For many young people, summer is air conditioning, ice cream and cold drinks, which can not only quickly fade away the heat brought by summer, but also make people feel "cool". But in the view of Chinese medicine, some summer habits like this will do great harm to the body unconsciously, which is not conducive to health preservation.

First, greed and calmness

1, don't eat too much cold food.

When people feel hot and thirsty in summer, they often quench their thirst by eating ice cream, drinking cold drinks and eating iced watermelon. But Chinese medicine believes that summer is the time when people should store yang. If they eat too much cold food, it will damage the yang, which is insufficient in autumn and winter, so it is difficult to keep out the cold.

2. Eat some cold dishes.

There are always several cold dishes on the dinner table in summer, such as cold tomatoes and cold cucumbers, which make people feel refreshing and delicious. Eating cold dishes properly will not have a great impact on your health, but it is best not to overeat, otherwise it will lead to cold and hot diarrhea. Chinese medicine suggests that cold dishes can also be mixed with shredded or sliced ginger, which can alleviate the coolness of cold dishes after eating. Moreover, ginger can warm the stomach and promote blood circulation, which is also very beneficial to promote blood circulation.

Don't blow the air conditioner often.

The temperature is too high in summer, so it is necessary to escape the heat. However, if you hide in an air-conditioned room for a long time, or even "lay on the floor" with bare arms, it will not only lead to cold air entering the body, but also slow down the basic metabolism of the human body, reduce the resistance and easily get sick because of the low temperature. Chinese medicine believes that the four seasons have their own laws, and we should learn to adapt to the challenges given by nature. We should try our best to endure the cold in winter and the heat in summer, so that our biological adaptability will become stronger and stronger.

4. Don't take cold showers often.

It is easy to sweat in summer, especially after exercise, many people will take a cold shower directly to cool down quickly. But at this time, the body temperature is high, and direct contact with cold water will lead to vasoconstriction, but it is not easy to dissipate heat, which is easy to cause cold air to invade the body. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, summer is the best time to get rid of dampness and cold, and you can often soak your feet with warm water, which is more conducive to getting rid of summer heat and dehumidification and protecting the balance between the spleen and stomach.

Second, greed and laziness.

Summer is sultry, and people are always dizzy. Many people fall asleep during a nap because they didn't sleep well at night, or even all afternoon. But you shouldn't be lazy in summer. You can go out for a walk in the morning and beat Tai Ji Chuan, which is beneficial to strengthen the body's yang, promote blood circulation, accelerate metabolism, and be energetic during the day.

Third, gluttony

In summer, the temperature is too high during the day, which often makes people lose their appetite at noon. In the evening, the weather is cold, their appetite is wide open, and many people are too greedy to sleep. This will increase the burden on the stomach and lead to food accumulation. Therefore, in summer, we should also ensure the regularity of three meals, balanced nutrition, and drink some lemonade properly, which will help prevent intestinal infection.
