In the long summer season, the change of nature is that the yang grows longer and the yin weakens; Compared with human viscera, the liver qi is gradually weakened and the heart qi is gradually strengthened;

At this time, the dietary principle is to increase acid and reduce bitterness, tonify kidney and help liver, and regulate stomach qi. Diet should be based on low-fat digestible foods, and eat more vegetables, coarse grains, fish, chicken, beans, millet, hawthorn, bayberry, cantaloupe and so on.

Eat less animal viscera, fat meat and foods with high salt content. Eat a little onion and ginger during the day to nourish the yang. As the saying goes, "Eating radish in winter and ginger in summer doesn't require a doctor's prescription." Eating onion and ginger is helpful to the growth of human yang, which accords with the view of "nourishing yang in spring and summer" in traditional Chinese medicine. Have porridge and drink a little wine for dinner.

After a long summer, the human body's yang gradually goes out, its metabolism is vigorous, it perspires more, and the qi dissipates with body fluids, which makes the yang and body fluids vulnerable. Eating porridge at night can not only quench thirst, but also protect the spleen and stomach. In addition, you can also drink less Guilingji wine and wine. Eating at dinner can promote blood circulation and help sleep.

2. Slow motion

After the long summer, the temperature rises gradually and it is easy to sweat. Sweat is the liquid of the heart. If you exercise vigorously at this time, it is easy to cause water shortage. Therefore, we should choose slow-paced aerobic exercise such as walking, jogging, playing Tai Ji Chuan, and drink warm water properly after exercise to replenish body fluids.

3. Be careful with your life

Huangdi Neijing said: "Xia San Moon is a beautiful month, where heaven and earth are in harmony, everything is flashy, people lie down at night and get up early, and they are insatiable for the sun." After the long summer, the climate changes obviously, so it is necessary to go to bed late and get up early to adapt to the changes of yin and yang. At the same time, people should form the habit of taking a nap after a long summer. Studies have shown that taking a nap can prevent many heart diseases such as heart disease, coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction.
