This is the great wisdom of China people. Xiaoman health is the same-not impatient, not gluttonous, heatstroke prevention and dampness elimination, eating eight points full, losing weight and summer vacation.
First, Xiaoman keeps in good health and is the most taboo to eat.
In Xiaoman season, the yang in nature is already quite rich, and it is in a "Xiaoman" state. The combination of damp and heat in summer can easily lead to symptoms such as heavy limbs, fatigue, insomnia, loss of appetite, nausea and dizziness.
As the old saying goes, "full all day long, doing nothing" means that people can't eat too much, which affects the state of doing things. Keep healthy in the small full season, and the stomach should be "small full" and not "full". Isn't this nature reminding us that now is the best time to lose weight?
At this time, "fast food" twice a week is particularly suitable, that is, seven days a week, five days to eat eight full normally, choose two days to clear the intestines, control the diet, and eat a fat-reducing meal with no more than 500 kilocalories (for the method, refer to the previous article).
Second, Xiao Man health, focusing on dampness.
Xiao Man's "fullness" refers to the fullness of summer crops such as barley and winter wheat; Second, there is plenty of rain. After Xiaoman, the weather became hot and the rain began to increase, which indicated that the hot and humid summer was coming.
Hot and humid weather is prone to rheumatism, beriberi, eczema, acne, gynecological inflammation, edema, obesity and other problems. Therefore, the key to the recuperation of Xiaoman solar terms is "heat and moisture prevention".
1. Diet is good for water. When the human body is wet, it is particularly prone to edema. When the water is wet, it will gather below the waist, and it will easily get fat after a long time. The biggest disadvantage is actually the biggest advantage. At this time, eat more water-benefiting foods, such as wax gourd and loofah, to eliminate moisture and edema in the body, which is particularly effective for edema obesity.
2. Exercise and rest. In addition to diet adjustment, dehumidification depends on exercise. Xiaoman entered the hot summer. According to the suggestion of Huangdi Neijing, in summer, we should conform to the law that yang disappears and yin grows, go to bed late and get up early, so as to lengthen the activity time during the day, and do some gentle exercises such as brisk walking, jogging, Tai Ji Chuan and yoga, so as to make the body sweat slightly and contribute to the metabolism of water in the body. Of course, we should be careful not to exercise too hard, so as not to sweat and damage Yin and Yang.
Third, the diet is full and bitter.
1. Spleen and appetite. It is easy to sweat in midsummer. If you sweat too much, you will lose your appetite and especially want to sleep after meals. At this time, some herbs can be used to strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite. The best is Pogostemon rugosa+Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, which is simply brewed with hot water 10 minute. You can drink a cup after a meal, which can dispel dampness and relieve the symptoms of heavy head and fatigue caused by phlegm. It will be more refreshing if you add some mint.
2. Take pains first, and try later. Suffering hardship means eating more bitter vegetables, because they are usually "sweet and cold" or "sweet and cold", such as bitter gourd, bitter vegetable, bitter chrysanthemum, green bamboo shoots, oil wheat vegetables and other slightly bitter vegetables. Early adopters should eat cucumbers, cherries and tomatoes. , fresh in season, effectively supplement vitamins, water and trace elements.
3. Warm and wet. During the peak season, the physiological activities of the human body are in the most vigorous period, and a lot of nutrients are consumed every day. At this time, it is necessary to add some soups for warming and eliminating dampness, such as melon ribs soup and melon scallop soup. Moisturize, replenish the water lost by the body in summer, and supplement the nutrition consumed every day.
4. Eat acid to nourish the heart and eliminate fat. Summer is also a time-consuming season. To eat more acid, nourish the heart and reduce fat, soaking hawthorn in water is the best way. Hawthorn is a treasure, which not only has the functions of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, resolving food stagnation, but also can reduce blood fat and cholesterol, which is beneficial but not harmful. Hawthorn is slightly sour, and adding dried tangerine peel and licorice during soaking can reconcile the sour taste of hawthorn. The combination of the three can help to eliminate the humidity in Xiao Man season and improve obesity.
There are many favorite names of solar terms, such as Qingming, Xiaoman and Mangzhong. Among them, "Xiaoman" is the richest philosophy of life-Xiaoman without loss, full without profit, full without overflow. Adding the word "small" before "full" is quite a taste of on-site practice. You are small, and you will eventually become big.
Everything is here, small to full.
The river rises and the wheat is full.
Summer is coming.
