The continuous high temperature weather really annoys hot people.

No matter what you do, the sweat is there and you will never give up.

Calm, cool and natural?

Does not exist!

The problem of relieving summer heat is really a must-have trouble every summer.

However, if you just drink iced drinks and eat some cold food, it will not fundamentally solve the serious problem of hot summer, and it may also cause harm to the stomach and even aggravate the body's moisture.

Drink more warm water.

It is hot in summer, so it is easy to sweat, and the water in the human body evaporates quickly, so it needs to be replenished in time. But pay attention to drink more hot water, not cold water or ice water. Because the density and chemical activity of water will change after being heated, a single molecule moves faster. In other words, hot water can be absorbed by the human body faster, which can quickly replenish the water lost due to perspiration. At the same time, it can also raise the body temperature, open the pores of the body, promote sweat discharge, take away the heat in the body, and play a role in relieving summer heat. Drinking cold water can only temporarily lower the body temperature, but it will shrink the pores, which is actually not conducive to heat dissipation and may also cause abdominal pain and diarrhea.

If you don't like drinking water, you can also drink summer herbal teas such as mung bean water and chrysanthemum tea. Friends who sweat a lot can drink sugar, salt water, tea and so on. And properly supplement salt and minerals to maintain the electrolyte balance of the body.

Eat more bitter

In summer, people with poor spleen and stomach exercise ability and poor appetite. Eating more bitter food can restore the function of spleen and stomach and increase appetite. Chinese medicine believes that bitterness enters the heart, so bitterness can also be used to relieve heart fire and regulate summer yang heat. It is also mentioned in modern nutrition that bitter food contains amino acids, vitamins, alkaloids, bitter substances and trace elements. Has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, summer-heat dispelling, spleen invigorating, appetite stimulating, and fatigue relieving effects. Therefore, it is advisable to eat more bitter food in summer, such as bitter gourd and bitter vegetables, which can play a good role in relieving summer heat and fatigue.

Eat more fruits.

Summer is the season of high incidence of gastrointestinal diseases. If we eat iced food and drink cold drinks again, it will make things worse for our stomach. You can use "melon" fruits instead of iced drinks. These fruits usually have good effects of clearing away heat and reducing fire, clearing away dryness and nourishing, such as watermelon, white melon and papaya. But I still don't mind taking it out of the refrigerator and eating it right away. It is best to leave it at room temperature for a period of time to cool down and drive away the cold.

Don't move too much.

The summer climate is hot, human metabolism is vigorous, and the body consumes a lot of energy and nutrients, so people often feel tired and weak. At this time, if strenuous exercise is carried out again, it will undoubtedly increase the consumption of the body and hurt the body. So try to follow the principle of "less exercise and more rest" to avoid excessive exercise intensity and excessive sweating.

You can choose less intense and slightly moderate exercise, such as jogging, walking, yoga, Baduanjin and so on. Proper exercise can also enhance the body's immunity and help the body discharge waste in time. Try to choose to exercise in the morning or evening when the temperature is relatively cool, and the exercise time should not exceed one hour. Physical exercise is not recommended two hours before going to bed, so as not to affect sleep because of excessive excitement.

Although the weather is hot, we should not forget to exercise while cooling off the heat.
