"three don't eat" in dog days
Although food can be eaten at any time, it is not the case in dog days. Let's see what foods we can't eat in dog days.
1, it is not advisable to eat more cold drinks. The summer heat is unbearable, especially in the dog days, and the weather is very hot. Many friends like to eat a cold drink or ice cream, which is very bad for their health. First: excessive cold drinks stimulate the stomach, which will accelerate peristalsis and affect absorption. Second: the body temperature is high in summer. If this is a sudden irritation to the stomach, it will easily lead to abdominal pain and diarrhea, which is harmful to the body.
2, do not eat big fish and big meat Some friends who eat food, especially male friends, still have a big appetite in summer, like to eat big fish and big meat, especially staying up late at night, like barbecue and beer. However, eating less vegetables and fruits will make people lack vitamins and lead to a series of health problems such as getting angry.
3, thirst is extremely unfavorable for urgent drinking, sweating in summer, easy to thirst, many people will drink a large bottle of water to quench their thirst, which is not desirable. Because drinking too much water at once will increase the burden on the heart, and may even cause palpitation, shortness of breath, sweating and other phenomena, which is very unfavorable to health. If you are thirsty, you should take a sip and drink slowly.
Dog days "four don't do" 1, not suitable for sleeping at night.
In summer, human sweat glands are in a stage of exuberant secretion. If they sleep in midsummer night, it will lead to headache, abdominal pain and joint pain, which will make the cold invade and lay a bad hidden danger for the body.
2. It is not advisable to take a nap.
The temperature is high in summer, the days are long and the nights are short. People will consume a lot of energy during the day. If they don't take a nap at noon, they will be very tired and have no spirit in the afternoon. Taking a nap for half an hour or an hour at noon will give our bodies a full rest and help prevent heatstroke.
Don't blow the electric fan at your head.
In summer, some friends like to blow their heads with an electric fan on, or leave the fan on all night. This will destroy the balance of human body sweating, leading to headache, dizziness, fatigue and other physical discomfort. This is harmful to health.
4. The air-conditioned room should not be opened for a long time.
Don't blow for a long time, because air conditioning will change the ions in the air, make the brain nervous disorder, dizziness, headache and other symptoms. Moreover, people who blow air conditioners for a long time, because they rarely go out and sit for a long time, will cause problems such as backache and decreased resistance.
Another thing to note is that if you are sweating outside, don't immediately enter the air-conditioned room and blow cold air, because blowing cold air to the air conditioner will take the opportunity to enter the human body along the open sweat pores and damage the yang.
What should I do except "three don't eat, four don't do"
Diet should be like this:
1) food for clearing heat and promoting diuresis.
Foods that clear away heat and promote diuresis include wax gourd, cucumber, bitter gourd, yam and celery. Cucumber is best eaten raw, bitter gourd is the best choice for people with body heat, frying melon seeds can get rid of dampness, and washing watermelon skin can also clear heat. Coix seed and red beans can achieve a good effect of eliminating dampness. In fact, crucian carp soup is also a good choice for eliminating dampness.
2) "sour" food.
"Sour" food can prevent sweating, consume gas and hurt yin, promote fluid production to quench thirst, stimulate appetite and help digestion. Vinegar has many uses and can also prevent gastroenteritis. Sour food also includes many fruits, such as lemon, dark plum, hawthorn, tomato, grape, pineapple, mango and kiwi fruit.
3) Eat more fish.
Each kind of fish also has its own health care function. For example, crucian carp soup mentioned in point (1) eliminates dampness, while common grass carp has the effect of warming stomach and improving eyesight; Perch can nourish liver and kidney and has no fishy smell. You can braise in soy sauce, steam it, and make soup.
4) Eat more beans and bean products.
Zhu Fangji, a medical book in Song Dynasty, contains the prescription of "Three Bean Soups" for mung beans, red beans and black beans. Mung beans and red beans clear away heat and relieve summer heat, induce diuresis, and black beans strengthen the spleen and tonify the kidney. "Three bean soup" takes 20g of each of three kinds of beans, washes and soaks them 1 hour, then adds a proper amount of clear water, boils them with strong fire, and then simmers them 1 hour. After the beans bloom, you can also add a proper amount of rock sugar (if added, continue to cook for 5 minutes), and you can drink it twice a week.
