According to the theory, summer belongs to fire, and a special stage of summer is called "Long Summer", which belongs to soil alone. Summer health also needs to pay attention to the following aspects:
1, summer breath. Inhale and exhale. First of all, breathe in gently, that is, breathe in as deeply, evenly, slowly and rhythmically as possible, so that the gas can fill the alveoli as much as possible. It is best to mobilize chest breathing and abdominal breathing at the same time, rather than just chest and abdomen. Then, exhale slowly and forcefully, as clean as possible to ensure more gas exchange. This is like a rubber ball. Only when the gas inside is squeezed out as much as possible can more fresh gas be inhaled when it rebounds. Between inhaling and exhaling, you can hold your breath for about 5 seconds, and imagine some soothing and quiet scenes, such as watching snow, watching sunrise by the sea, walking on the grassland, boating on the lake, fishing by the water, etc.
2. Raise yang in summer. Also known as "". Yang is the motive force of human beings, fluctuating with the alternation of seasons and the sun and the moon. In summer, the yang is strong and often floats outside, but it is easy to be injured by external evils. Sweating leads to yang death. In other words, in hot summer, it is generally not appropriate to do a lot of exercise, and water and nutrition should be supplemented in time after exercise.
There is an appropriate schedule in summer. After the long summer, the northern hemisphere will get enough sunshine, the sunshine time will be prolonged and the temperature will rise, so people's sleep will be reduced. Some people are more likely to get worse, lose sleep or fidget at night. Chinese medicine says that it is advisable to "go to bed early and get up early" in summer to conform to the solar terms. If you can't go to bed early at night, a proper lunch break at noon is still a good adjustment. It is the best arrangement to get up early in summer and do proper morning exercises.
4. Have a proper diet in summer. Entering the midsummer season, the temperature is high and the humidity is high, giving people a feeling of sultry and unbearable, which is what Chinese medicine calls long summer. Long summer belongs to the soil in the five elements, corresponding to the spleen of the five internal organs of traditional Chinese medicine, and the spleen hates dampness and likes dryness, so long summer often has spleen and stomach weakness, and symptoms such as loss of appetite and diarrhea appear. People should eat well in time and have adequate nutrition, so as not to increase the burden on the spleen and stomach. Sweating in summer often makes people thirsty, but be careful not to drink a lot of water before meals, let alone drink a lot of cold drinks. On the contrary, it is easy to damage the spleen and stomach, leading to chronic spleen and stomach.
5. Choose fruits in summer. Summer is rich in melons and fruits, so you can eat more, but you should pay attention to the taste of fruits and know your physique to avoid damage. For example, people with spleen and stomach deficiency should not eat a lot of cool fruits such as watermelon, pear, kiwi fruit and grapefruit; Those with internal fire and phlegm dampness should eat less longan and litchi. Be careful when eating mango and pineapple. As the saying goes, "peaches nourish people, apricots hurt people, and plums kill people." Eating too many plums will make people feel more phlegm, help to get rid of dampness, and even make people feel weak, hot and dizzy. People with urinary calculi should not eat more strawberries; People with stomach acid and diarrhea should eat less bananas; Apples, peaches, grapes, cantaloupes, mulberries, watermelons and other fruits have high sugar content, so diabetics should be careful.
6. Prevention in summer is small. In summer, the yang of the human body floats on the body surface, and leaks with sweat, which makes the defensive qi insufficient and reduces the resistance. If you feel the external wind at this time, it can also cause wind chill, wind heat and summer dampness. So there are many types of colds in summer: fever is not obvious, and colds are obviously annoying. At the same time, the nose is clear and sneezing repeatedly. At this time, you should immediately take 2 bags of Ganmao Qingre Granules, which must be taken while it is hot, or drink onion, ginger and brown sugar water every 2-3 hours, and most symptoms will be obviously relieved. If the body temperature rises rapidly, it is accompanied by aversion to cold and throat discomfort. Most of them are wind-heat colds. You can take Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, antiviral oral liquid, Qingkailing and vitamin C Yinqiao tablets in the early stage. If fever is accompanied by nausea or vomiting, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, etc. Most of them are summer-dampness colds, similar to gastrointestinal colds in western medicine. At this time, it should be taken in time or with water, and the dose can be increased for the first time, 3-4 times a day. At the same time, control your diet and cook some lotus leaf and mung bean porridge.
7. Take a bath in summer. The humid and sultry climate makes people's skin susceptible to infection, and summer is also the season with frequent skin diseases. Pay attention to skin care and take a bath with some natural herbs, which will make people spend a healthy and happy summer. For example, in the mulberry leaf bath, put about100g of mulberry leaves in a pot, boil for 10- 15 minutes, and then pour into the bathtub, which can eliminate skin acne, furuncle and brown spots. Another example is a mint bath, which can burn.
There are other ways to keep in good health in summer, which need everyone to learn and accumulate. Some basic common sense things in summer must be remembered, just like a case in which a little friend had a high fever because he washed cold water from beginning to end after sunbathing. Summer health, take the right way.
