Long summer usually refers to the last month of summer, that is, from July 7 to August 6 every year. Long summer is actually a polysemous word. On the one hand, it refers to summer, because the days in summer are longer. On the other hand, it refers to the sixth month of the lunar calendar, which means that it grows in summer.

Long summer health, dehumidification and dampness:

(1) Medicinal porridge eliminates dampness.

Chinese medicine believes that the spleen plays an important role in the transport and transformation of water and dampness, and porridge is the best food to nourish the spleen and stomach, and at the same time, as a medium of drugs, it can better carry drugs to play a role.

② Exercise to remove dampness.

It is hot in long summer, and many people like to keep cats in air-conditioned rooms. In fact, when you are divorced from nature, you also reduce the absorption of natural yang and clear qi in your body, which will lead to spleen yang being unlucky and dampness being endogenous. Once you leave the air-conditioned environment, you are more vulnerable to high temperature and humidity in summer. The correct way is to keep exercising for about 40 minutes every day, sweat thoroughly, and drink no less than 2500 ml of water every day (adding appropriate amount of sugar and salt) to replenish the lost water. In this way, the waste and "moisture" in the water in the body are cleaned and updated once a day, which is both detoxification and nourishing, and the best of both worlds.
