1, healthy from summer solstice.
1, light diet, eat more "bitter"
Summer solstice is the most vigorous solar term for human metabolism in a year. At this time, people's digestive function is relatively weak. Therefore, the diet should be light, not greasy and sweet.
In addition to a light diet during the summer solstice, you can also eat more bitter vegetables, such as bitter gourd and coriander. Bitter food has the functions of eliminating dampness, cooling and relieving summer heat, and stimulating appetite. But enough is enough, not overeating, so as not to damage the spleen and stomach.
2. Exercise and meditation
Summer exercise is best done in the early morning or evening when the weather is cool. It is not advisable to do excessively strenuous activities, otherwise you will be sweating like a pig, which will not only hurt Yin Qi, but also Yang Qi.
After exercise, you should have a rest and then take a bath with warm water. Don't punch in the shower with cold water immediately, so as to avoid the sudden contraction of blood vessels on the body surface, damage the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, and adversely affect the body.
It's hot in summer, and people's emotions are easily excited. Summer is the season of nourishing the heart, so it is necessary to "keep the ice and snow in your heart", that is, "be calm and naturally cool". Therefore, we should be good at adjustment, sit still more and get rid of other thoughts in our hearts.
3. Pay more attention.
In order to adapt to the changes of nature, it is wise to stay up late and get up early. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, taking a nap is to nourish yin with yang, and sleeping for children is to nourish yang with yin. As long as you can close your eyes and have a rest at noon, you can achieve a good effect of nourishing yin.
During the summer solstice, the temperature is high and a lot of water is lost in the human body. Drink plenty of water to replenish your body. Taking a bath with warm water every day can not only wash away sweat and dirt, but also make the skin clean and cool, relieve summer heat and prevent diseases, and also achieve the purposes of exercising, eliminating fatigue, improving sleep and enhancing resistance.
In addition, summer is hot and vulnerable to wind, cold and dampness. Don't sleep with the air conditioner on all night, which can easily lead to colds, facial paralysis, joint pain, abdominal pain and diarrhea, which is very harmful to the body.
Keep fit from summer solstice, and beware of heatstroke. It is very hot in summer. If you sweat too much, you will feel dizzy, chest tightness, palpitation, thirst, nausea and even coma, causing heatstroke and heatstroke.
When the weather is hot, try to avoid outdoor work or activities in strong sunlight, especially in the hot afternoon; When working or doing activities outdoors, you should avoid being exposed to the sun for a long time, and take sun protection measures, such as opening an umbrella, wearing a sun hat, applying sunscreen, wearing light or plain clothes, etc. Drink plenty of water, especially salty water, and take heatstroke prevention drugs with you, such as Ren Dan, Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, 10 drop of water, and cool oil.
