The summer solstice in 2020 is June 2, 20201day at 05:43:33, and the first day of the fifth lunar month in 2020.
June 2 1 or 22 every year is the summer solstice. This day is the longest day and the shortest night in the northern hemisphere. From this day on, it entered the hot season, when everything in the world grew most vigorously. In ancient times, the heart also called this day the northern solstice, meaning the northernmost day when the sun was born. After the summer solstice, the sun gradually moves southward, and the days in the northern hemisphere become shorter and the nights become longer.
The story of summer solstice
Dou compared B to summer, where everything is false and extreme, and summer is coming, hence the name.
Three stages of summer solstice
Wait for the antlers to untie, wait for the antlers to sing, and wait for Pinellia ternata to grow.
The summer solstice is the tenth solar term among the 24 solar terms in the China lunar calendar. Every year on June 2 1 or 22 of the Gregorian calendar, the sun will move to 90 degrees of the yellow meridian, which is the beginning of the summer solstice.
Regarding the summer solstice, the twenty-four solar terms wrote: "Summer is a festival, and it is an extreme. Everything here is false and extreme. " On the solstice of summer, the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Cancer, which is the northernmost position where the sun shines directly on the ground in a year. On this day, the northern hemisphere has the longest day and the shortest night. After the summer solstice, the days will get shorter and the nights will get longer. "Eating noodles from summer to day shortens a thread a day" refers to such a phenomenon.
Although it is very hot in many places around summer, the temperature reaches above 30, and the sun is strong, it should be noted that it also begins to grow at this time. The so-called "summer with yin", the appearance of yin will bring many diseases, so we should not take it lightly and pay attention to proper health care.
What's delicious on the summer solstice?

Luffa, mung bean sprouts, wax gourd, carrot, bitter gourd, pork, chicken, duck, rabbit, crucian carp, jujube and ebony. 2. Eat more, chew slowly and don't be too full. Because the summer climate is hot, people's digestive function is relatively weak, so it takes time to adapt. 3. Because with the arrival of this high temperature season, the metabolism of human body is more vigorous, it will sweat a lot, consume gas and hurt body fluids, and it is easy to get heatstroke, so lotus leaf, coix seed, lentil, lotus seed, lily, Polygonatum odoratum, Adenophora, yam, Ophiopogon japonicus, asparagus and so on can be used in Chinese herbal medicines. Lotus leaf, barley, lentils, lotus seeds, lily, Polygonatum odoratum, Adenophora adenophora, yam, Ophiopogon japonicus and asparagus.
1, it is not advisable to eat too much fat and sweet, so as to avoid heat and stimulate the disease of boils. 2.

Pepper, pepper, onion, garlic, ginger, mustard and fennel seed cinnamon. Don't overeat cold fruits, ice cream and frozen drinks, so as not to damage the spleen and stomach and affect the digestive function of the body. Frozen drinks ◎ Slight acid, antiperspirant and exterior consolidation.
Because there is more sweating in summer solstice, salt loss is greater, and electrolytes such as sodium will also be lost in the body. Therefore, in addition to salt supplementation, you need to use some sour food.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, you should eat more sour food in summer to achieve the effect of consolidating the exterior and stopping sweating. There is such a description in the Yellow Emperor's Neijing Su Wen, "The heart governs summer, and the heart is bitter and slow, and it is urgent to eat acid to collect it." In other words, the acidic foods that need to be eaten in summer are Cornus officinalis, Schisandra chinensis, gallnut, ebony and so on. These foods can not only produce saliva, remove fishy smell and relieve boredom, but also stimulate appetite.
◎ Cold noodles with heatstroke prevention and health care
The arrival of summer solstice means the beginning of hot summer, and people in many places will choose to eat cold noodles to relieve the heat. Southerners generally eat sesame oil mixed noodles, Yangchun noodles and rice noodles crossing the bridge, while northerners mainly eat noodles with gravy and noodles with dregs.
Cold noodles have the functions of heatstroke prevention, cooling down and alleviating hunger, and are rich in essential nutrients such as starch, crude fiber and vitamins, which are very beneficial to the human body. However, it should be noted that the content of protein in cold noodles is less, so some meat, bean products and eggs should also be properly matched.
◎ Pay attention to hygiene to prevent "illness from entering the mouth"
From summer to around, all kinds of pathogenic microorganisms grow and reproduce faster, so food is very easy to rot and deteriorate. In addition, at this time, the defense ability of human intestine becomes weak and it is very vulnerable to bacterial invasion, so the phenomenon of oral diseases occurs from time to time.
Pay attention to the following points in diet: try not to leave leftovers; Avoid excessive drinking of cold drinks; Do not eat expired, unmarked or damaged food; Do not eat or eat less spicy food, cold dishes or cooked food sold by roadside stalls; Do not eat raw and pickled aquatic products; Eat more "sterilized" vegetables, such as garlic, onions, green onions, leeks, green garlic, garlic seedlings and so on.

Health care in summer solstice is fundamental ● Pay attention to sweating and beware of "sadness"
During the summer solstice, due to the increasingly hot weather, it is normal for the human body to sweat properly. But not all sweating is normal, such as hyperhidrosis, spontaneous sweating, night sweats, yellow sweat, sweat and so on. , is the externalized feature of some diseases.
Chinese medicine believes that sweat is excreted from the body surface through the evaporation of body fluid by yang and sweat glands. Body fluid and blood are all transformed by Shui Gu's essence, so there is a saying that "blood and sweat are homologous". Because the heart governs blood, there is a saying that sweat is the liquid of the heart.
Excessive sweat secretion will consume essence and hurt hard. Deficiency of heart qi is the direct cause of spontaneous sweating. If you are too angry, you may sweat a lot. Summer belongs to fire in the five elements, and fire is related to Yang. In hot summer, the yang is very strong, which is easy to disturb the mind and cause heart disease.
The weather is hot from summer solstice, so you must pay attention to sweating at this time. If you find any abnormality, you should seek medical attention in time, reduce the frequency of activities appropriately, avoid high-temperature operation, and pay attention to choosing some safe foods, such as lotus seeds and lilies, so as to spend the summer safely. In addition, people who sweat a lot should pay special attention to changing sweaty clothes in time, bathing with warm water, and not washing with cold water. Don't enter the air-conditioned room directly after sweating, dry it with a towel first.
● Prevention and treatment of summer sun injury
The solstice in summer is the most active time of the year. The continuous high temperature makes the blood circulation of human body more vigorous, leading to the excretion and loss of sweat. At the same time, the gathering surface of yang is easy to be lost in summer, so it is necessary to protect yang while maintaining yin and body fluid.
The loss of sun-yang in summer is mainly due to the following four reasons: the first is summer heat. The exuberance of yang is easy to hurt yin, while yin and body fluid will be lost at the same time with the discharge of sweat, but yin will not converge yang; Second, the moisture is heavy. Moisture can easily damage the yang, thus damaging the spleen and stomach; The third is carelessness in daily life. If you spend the night in the open air, the wind-cold qi may invade the human body and damage the yang in the human body; The fourth is improper diet. Because of the hot climate, people like to drink some cold drinks, and the result of gluttony for cold drinks will damage the yang, which will lead to diseases.
It is recorded in Eight Notes on Respect for Life that "relieving summer heat must stop yang". Maintaining the yang in summer is conducive to eliminating summer heat, enhancing resistance at the same time, and avoiding recurrent diseases such as chronic bronchitis and asthma due to insufficient yang in winter. Raise yang in summer, avoid being too greedy and cool, and blow less air conditioning. You can eat some seasonal fruits to cool off the heat, such as watermelon and wax gourd.
Daily life from summer to day ● Take a bath with warm water to relieve the summer heat and prevent malnutrition.
After the summer solstice, the human body will secrete more sweat. The main component of sweat is water, accounting for about 98%-99%. In addition, it also contains organic substances such as urea and lactic acid and inorganic substances such as sodium chloride, calcium and magnesium. These chemical components are equivalent to those in urine. If water evaporates, these inorganic and organic substances will still remain on the skin, which may lead to prickly heat and even dermatitis.
The easiest way to remove the dirt left on the skin surface is to take a bath. Because of the hot weather, it is recommended to wash it in the morning and evening. Use warm water instead of cold water. Because cold water can stimulate pores, make capillaries contract, and affect the discharge of internal heat and toxins in the body. Warm water can dilate blood vessels on the body surface, promote blood circulation, improve skin condition, eliminate fatigue and enhance immunity.
Take a bath in summer, the water temperature should be 38-42. If it is too hot, the human body will be unbearable. If the temperature is too high, the water will dehydrate the skin, make the skin dry, and even cause microvascular rupture. Controlling the bath water temperature slightly higher than the human body temperature can not only wash away the waste in sweat, but also eliminate the fatigue of the day.
● Sleep on a mat and be careful of getting skin diseases.
Many people like to sleep on a mat to spend the hot summer days, but some people will have a lot of red pimples on their skin after sleeping on a mat, which is a typical symptom of mite skin inflammation caused by mite bites.
In the hot summer, the human body will excrete a lot of sweat, as well as dander, dust and so on. It is easy to mix with sweat and drop into the gap of the mat, which becomes the breeding ground of mites. Therefore, summer mats must be cleaned regularly, scrubbed repeatedly with hot water first, and then exposed to the sun for several hours. Only in this way can mites and eggs invisible to the naked eye be eliminated. After summer sleeping mats are used up, you can also use this method to clean and preserve them, and then put some moth-proof and mildew-proof products to prevent mites from appearing. If mites are found to settle down on the mat, the moth balls can be broken, evenly spread on the surface of the mat, and the cold will be swept up. After one hour, the moth balls will be cleaned up, scrubbed with clear water, and finally exposed to the sun.
When choosing a mat, if you are allergic to straw mats and reed mats, you can choose a mat made of bamboo or vines. The symptoms of allergies are mostly reddish pimples the size of beans, which are particularly itchy. This kind of allergy belongs to a contact skin disease.
Summer solstice is good for health ◎ When summer solstice comes, beware of emotional "poisoning".
After the summer solstice, China entered the hottest period of the year, that is, midsummer. Therefore, it is particularly important to prevent heatstroke. For heatstroke, we should not only prevent it physically, but also pay attention to it psychologically.
Due to the sudden rise of temperature, the emotional state center of human hypothalamus will be affected by temperature, which will cause anxiety reaction in human body. Some people may not be in a very hot environment, but under the influence of strong light outside the window, they will also feel irritable. In addition, emotions may also be related to increased sweat excretion, insufficient sleep and diet. These activities may affect the electrolyte metabolism of the human body and the neurological function of the brain, thus further affecting people's emotions and actions. Therefore, we should guard against emotional "heatstroke" in midsummer.
If the person around you becomes angry, depressed, inefficient, depressed, confused, forgetful, abnormally or stubbornly taking a bath, washing your face and washing your hands repeatedly, he/she is probably emotionally "heatstroke".
Here are some tips to prevent emotional "heatstroke":
First of all, arranging your life reasonably conforms to the characteristics of long days and short nights. Work and rest should be regular, you can take a nap to ensure sleep time; The living room should pay attention to ventilation, don't stay in a closed room for a long time, consciously keep the room clean and tidy, and don't make the room too messy, which is easy to make people feel depressed.
Second, eliminate bad emotions. When you have bad emotions, you should choose the right way to solve them. For example, divert your attention in time, listen to relaxing music, and imagine some cool pictures, such as morning fog, waterfalls and the sea. Or find something that interests you.
Third, keep your diet light. Eat less greasy and spicy food, eat more food for removing fire, drink less or no hard liquor, and drink more water to improve blood circulation.
Finally, keep a peaceful mind. As the saying goes, "peace of mind is naturally cool." While taking various measures to prevent heatstroke and cool down, we should pay more attention to maintaining a peaceful mind. According to medical research, when people keep a tolerant and calm mind, the secretion of adrenaline in the body will be significantly reduced, and naturally they will not feel so hot.
Healthy exercise from summer to Sunday ◎ Swimming is the best way to keep healthy from summer to Sunday.
In hot summer, the best way to exercise is swimming. Compared with other sports, swimming is more valuable.
First of all, because water has buoyancy, all joints of the body, such as shoulder joint and knee joint, can be completely relaxed in the water, and are not affected by the gravity of the body.
Secondly, when people swim, all organs participate in sports, which consumes a lot of energy, makes blood circulation faster and obtains more nutrition for body organs. At the same time, the heartbeat frequency will also accelerate, making the heart contract strongly. So people who swim often have good heart function.
Third, the effect of swimming to lose weight is very significant. Because the human body consumes more energy than other projects when it is useful, someone once did a study that swimming for 60 minutes would reduce the weight by 250-350 grams. Finally, swimming can also promote intellectual development. Because of the flowing characteristics of water, swimming needs to master very special and subtle movements. The process of exploring skills is actually a process in which the nervous system and muscles are fully coordinated. In this process, it will produce some benign stimulation to the nervous system. Therefore, it will be of great benefit to health to insist on exercising through swimming.
It is very important to replenish water in time.
In hot summer, a lot of sweating will cause dehydration of the body, affecting physiological function and exercise state. Studies have shown that if the amount of dehydration reaches 2% of body weight, the heat resistance of the body will be affected; When dehydration reaches 4%, it will affect muscle endurance; When dehydration reaches 10%, it will affect coordination ability and even make muscles spasm; The most serious situation of dehydration is to increase body temperature, circulatory failure and even death. During exercise, pay attention to the following items when replenishing water:
First, the temperature of drinking water should be appropriate. The water temperature should be controlled at 8℃- 14℃, because water at this temperature can quickly pass through the stomach.
Second, drink some water before exercise. You can drink 10- 15 minutes before exercise.
Third, hydration should follow the principle of drinking more. It is best to drink/kloc-0 for 20-30 minutes each time during exercise, and drink 1 50-200ml each time.
Fourth, add light salt water. If you lose more water and salt after exercise, you can drink some light salt water, or put more salt in the soup when you eat.
Intimate reminder:
Although swimming has many benefits, we should also pay attention to the following matters when swimming: First, it is not advisable to swim on an empty stomach, full stomach or after drinking; Secondly, it is not suitable for swimming when you are sick, unwell or weak; Thirdly, it is not suitable to swim in thunderstorm, too strong wind and waves or poor light; Also, do some simple warm-up exercises properly before going into the water to avoid convulsions; Finally, it is best for beginners not to stay in the water for too long, and it is generally controlled at about 30 minutes.
Strengthen finger practice.
Efficacy makes fingers move freely, increases grip strength, and has a good reflex stimulation effect on the heart, thus enhancing heart function.
way
Hands open at the same time, fingers naturally straighten. Starting from the thumb, press the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger in turn. When you bend one finger hard, the other fingers will still straighten, so that they bend and straighten in turn. Back and forth. When exercising, practice with both hands at the same time and bend your fingers as hard as possible.
remind
Every exercise is not limited by time and frequency, and can be done according to your own situation, which is subject to the pain.
