Diet should be light. The diet in summer should be light, soft and easy to digest, and eat less high-fat, thick-flavored and spicy things that get angry. A light diet can clear away heat, prevent heatstroke, stop sweating, replenish water and stimulate appetite. Eating more fresh vegetables and fruits can not only meet the required nutrition, but also prevent heatstroke. Staple food should be light, such as mung bean porridge, lotus seed porridge and lotus leaf porridge. You can also drink some cool drinks, such as sour plum soup and chrysanthemum tea. However, cold drinks should be moderate, and you should not be partial to cold products, otherwise it will hurt the yang and damage your health. In addition, eating vinegar can not only stimulate appetite, but also inhibit the killing of germs and prevent gastrointestinal diseases.
The room should be cool, and the indoor temperature is low in the morning and evening. Doors and windows should be opened for ventilation. At noon, the outdoor temperature is higher than the indoor temperature. Close the doors and windows and close the curtains. A cool environment will make people feel calm and safe.
Entertainment should be quiet in summer. You can't travel long distances. You should find a secluded place nearby. In the morning, with the first ray of sunshine and fresh air at dawn, you can take a walk in the lush garden, exercise, go to the old and welcome the new. In the evening, if you stroll along the river and the lake, the cool breeze will calm your mind like water, make you feel like a dream, cleanse your mind of boredom, and the summer heat will disappear.
