The extremely high temperature in summer will bring all kinds of disadvantages to human body's physiology and psychology, so how to dehumidify and cool down and carry out self-care is very important. There is a saying that "winter disease is cured in summer", and some chronic diseases that are easy to attack in winter are the best treatment season.

First, sleep is particular. In summer, the weather is sultry and the night is hard. Some people like to enjoy the cool until late at night, and even sleep under the air conditioner because they are greedy for the cool. These are all bad habits. Although it is hot in summer, it is still suffocating, especially after the human body falls asleep, the body's resistance is weak and it is easy to catch a cold. That's what "shelter from the wind like an arrow in summer night" says. Therefore, it is best to wear pajamas when sleeping in summer, which can absorb sweat well and prevent catching cold at the same time. In addition, you should get enough sleep in summer, and don't sleep if you are too sleepy. If you are a little tired, you should start sleeping. It is not advisable to do strenuous exercise before going to bed.

Second, the exercise health care of sauna days. It is hot and humid in summer, and people are prone to heatstroke. Therefore, in the hot summer, we should first avoid sauna days, go out as little as possible in hot days, and do less activities. Even if we go out, we can't do activities in the open air for a long time. In order to let the water out of the body, when the temperature is slightly lower in the morning and evening, try to do low-intensity activities such as walking. For middle-aged and elderly people, especially those with a history of chronic diseases, it is necessary to avoid excessive physical exercise in the high temperature in midsummer.

Third, don't let your emotions "heatstroke". Summer, summer is very hot, and it's unbearable. How can we effectively resist fanaticism and irritability, let unbearable emotions be released and prevent our emotions from "heatstroke"? This requires learning self-regulation, forgetting things that go wrong, paying attention to rest, eating more whole grains, strengthening the spleen and benefiting qi, eating more aromatic fruits and vegetables to vent yang in the body, and drinking more tea and mung bean soup to clear away heat and relieve summer heat. As the saying goes, peace of mind is naturally cool, perhaps just when you are inadvertently eating watermelon and drinking cold beer, the summer heat has gone and the golden autumn has arrived.

Fourth, the diet is resistant to summer heat and humidity. The great summer heat, just before and after the "mid-crouching", is also the period with the highest temperature, humidity and yang in the north and south of the Yangtze River. This kind of weather not only makes people depressed, but also reduces their appetite. So you can eat more melon, coix seed, poria cocos, yam and other foods. The so-called "everything is born for the people." You can also cook porridge or soup to help the human body resist the invasion of damp heat and make people energetic. Li Shizhen, a famous doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, especially praised the natural health care function of porridge. He said, "Eat a big bowl of porridge every day. If you eat it on an empty stomach, you will succeed. The tonic is not fine, but also soft and greasy, and is compatible with the stomach. The diet is the best. " So the ancients said, "porridge is the best in the world."

Fifth, winter diseases are treated in summer. The summer heat is the season with the highest temperature and the highest yang throughout the year. It is often said in health care that "winter disease is cured in summer". Therefore, it is the best treatment opportunity for those chronic diseases that attack in winter, such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, bronchial asthma and diarrhea.
