Therefore, the arrival of summer solstice is an early warning of high temperature weather in summer. There is a saying in the folk proverb: "But it is not hot from summer to Sunday", "Summer to Sunday is three years old." After summer, the solstice ushered in the hottest dog days of the year.
At that time, the weather was hot, people lost their appetite and began to lose weight, which was "dry summer". Therefore, people should pay great attention to keeping healthy during the summer solstice. So, how to do a good job in summer solstice health?
Eat more "bitterness" in diet
After the summer solstice, we should pay attention to a light diet and eat more bitter vegetables, such as bitter gourd and coriander, which have the functions of eliminating dampness, relieving summer heat, clearing the heart and improving eyesight. However, bitter food is mostly cold, so it is not suitable for the weak.
Avoid eating cold food at night and drink tea on an empty stomach.
Some people who are weak or elderly often feel cold in their stomachs, making it difficult to digest the food they eat. Be careful not to eat cold and sticky things at night, otherwise it will cause bloating, vomiting and diarrhea. Drinking tea on an empty stomach is easy to hurt the yang of the human body, and salty taste leads tea into the kidney, which is easy to hurt the yang of the kidney and cause symptoms such as diarrhea and dysmenorrhea.
Avoid cold showers.
The summer solstice is hot, and people's sweat glands are in a state of catharsis. Therefore, cold air can easily invade the human body, leading to the damage of yang. It is easy to cause cold hands and feet, calf cramps and other symptoms. Even if you take a hot bath, you should pay attention to shelter from the wind after taking a bath, especially for children.
