Summer is the most vigorous period for flowers and trees to grow, and it is also the period for fruits to mature. This season is long and the nights are short, so the human body should go to bed late and get up early to cope with the changes in nature. Although the summer heat is unbearable and the sun is too strong, you can't hide in an air-conditioned room for a long time. Instead, we should be "insatiable", that is, don't hate the scorching sun, be prepared for sun protection and heatstroke prevention, and go out often. "Heart should cope with summer", the human body conforms to the laws of nature in summer, in order to better protect the heart and prevent diseases in autumn and winter.
In hot summer, people often have poor appetite, and people who usually eat more often eat less in summer, which is often called "bitter summer". In order to ensure adequate nutrition in one day, the choice of diet is particularly important. The diet in summer should be light and nutritious. You can eat more cool vegetables and fruits to supplement the body fluids and essential vitamins lost in summer due to excessive sweating. But be sure to remember to be greedy, and don't eat fruits and drinks just taken out of the refrigerator, so as not to lose your spleen and stomach. Don't be too greasy for three meals a day in summer, and don't eat too many sweets, because these will affect the transportation of the spleen and stomach; You can eat more spicy food, because summer is corresponding to your heart and your heart is burning, and eating spicy food helps to replenish your lungs. You can also eat some bitter food, because bitterness can be eliminated, which can eliminate the accumulated heat in the body and increase appetite.
In midsummer, especially in dog days, most people are willing to sit in air-conditioned rooms and don't want to be sweated by the scorching sun for a moment. As we all know, it is easy to seal the summer heat in the body if you are greedy for temporary benefits. If it is not removed for a long time, it will form excessive internal heat and cause diseases. The solution is to "go out" and avoid the particularly strong sun at noon. You can exercise outdoors properly, control the intensity of exercise, and don't sweat, and don't "sweat excessively" (excessive sweating), which will damage the body's body fluid and yang. This is what Huangdi Neijing and Su Wen Si Qi Tiao Shen said. Summer is a good time for the growth of yang, so we must take appropriate outdoor exercise to maintain yang.
In summer, the temperature is high and the humidity is high, so people are most likely to sweat, so we must choose cotton, linen, clothes and bedding with good hygroscopicity. Don't wear tights, because tights are not easy to dissipate heat, which leads to damp and heat stagnation in the body; Instead, choose loose and comfortable clothes. Don't stay in the air-conditioned room for a long time, but keep the room ventilated, especially at night, and don't sleep in the air-conditioned room all night. The temperature of the air conditioner should not be too low, preferably above 26℃, to avoid the discomfort caused by the large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor. If you sleep with the air conditioner on, be sure to cover your appetite and abdomen with a thin quilt and keep warm to prevent stomach pain and diarrhea from catching cold.
The heat in summer really makes people feel irritable and impatient with some things. At this time, we should pay more attention to adjusting our emotions, try to keep a happy mood and not get angry easily. You can choose your hobbies or specialties, or you can listen to some soothing music to adjust. In summer, women can dress up at will and let their beauty be fully displayed, "if what they love is outside." Besides, we should try our best to help those who need help, the so-called "helping others", so as to make our body and mind happier.
On the influence of seasons on sleep, it is summer. In summer, the climate is not only hot, but also full of mosquitoes. Sometimes at night, you are either awakened by heat or bitten by mosquitoes, and the quality of sleep cannot be guaranteed. In order to enrich physical strength and energy, a nap is very necessary. The ancients paid great attention to "siesta", so113 siesta was valuable. However, the nap time should not be too long, generally 1 hour is appropriate, because too long will make people feel sleepy, because after a long time, they will enter a deep sleep state. You can't take a nap too casually, you can't sleep on your desk or sit down, but you should lie down and sleep comfortably, and cover your appetite and abdomen to avoid the cold.
