"Dai Ji" says: "It is the moon, and there is a dispute between Yin and Yang, and there is a difference between life and death." This means that the hot summer is a severe test for people's health. To maintain health in midsummer, we must grasp the word "light".
relax
It's already very hot in summer. If the mood is heavy, the sun be the spirit and the internal heat help each other, it's easy to get upset. Therefore, letting go of heavy worries, keeping the peace of mind and relaxing the heart are called "treating your heart lightly", which is the first rule of health preservation in summer.
Light spleen and stomach
It is hot every day in summer, and it is easy to sweat too much. If you don't avoid eating at this time, overeating will increase the burden on the spleen and stomach. Therefore, don't overeat in summer, be sure to pay attention to the amount of food, and be full at six or seven points to make the spleen and stomach "light".
bland diet
"Lightening the spleen and stomach" is about grasping the amount of food. And "light diet" requires the quality of diet, not heavy taste, but light taste. You can eat some cold cakes, clear soup and cold dishes, and try to eat less braised, spicy and greasy diets.
Shallow sleep
Go to bed late and get up early in summer to adapt to the changes of yin and yang in summer. If you don't grasp the sleep time, staying in bed for a long time will make people more and more tired.
Therefore, we should "sleep lightly" in summer. It is enough for adults to sleep for 6 to 7 hours every day, but they must take a nap at noon. In summer, taking a nap is more important than ever.
