Regular timetable
Huangdi Neijing said: "Summer and March is a beautiful month, where heaven and earth are connected and everything is gorgeous. You stay up at night and get up early, and you are insatiable about the sun, so that your ambition is not angry. Huaying has become a show, allowing you to vent your anger. If you love outside, you should be angry in summer and have a way to grow up. " In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, so you can stay up late, but you should ensure enough sleep time, take a nap during the day, eliminate fatigue and save your strength.
Calm down, calm down.
It's hot in summer, and people are more likely to be irritable, because the heart is connected with summer air. Health theory says that "pranayama meditation is more appropriate, often like ice and snow in the heart, and the heat in the heart will decrease." You can't turn heat into heat and then heat. " As the saying goes, "peace of mind is naturally cool." In summer, it is even more necessary to abstain from dryness and anger, and keep a happy mood and peace of mind.
Use air conditioning moderately.
In summer, many people like to blow into the air conditioner. As we all know, when the body encounters cold, the pores will suddenly close, and the cold will easily accumulate in the body, and people will easily catch a cold and have a fever. At the same time, the body is exposed to air conditioning for a long time, and the soft tissue around the cervical vertebra will also produce lesions, which is easy to cause persistent neck spasm and low back pain. So don't blow the air conditioner for a long time, the indoor temperature should not be lower than 25℃, and the shoulders should not directly face the air conditioner. Pay attention to the warmth of the shoulders.

In the evening, you can choose to do more relaxation and stretching exercises such as jogging, walking and swimming, which can relax your body and promote sleep. The temperature is relatively high in summer, so it is necessary to replenish water half an hour before exercise.
