First, avoid eating cold food at night and drinking tea on an empty stomach:
People who have a short summer night, are older or have a weak constitution, and their stomachs are often cold and their diet is difficult to digest. Do not eat lettuce, melons and other foods in summer, especially at night. Also be careful not to eat meat, noodles or anything cold and sticky at night, or you will see bloating, vomiting and diarrhea.
Second, avoid taking a cold bath:
Taking a bath in cold water is a favorite way for many young and middle-aged men to relieve summer heat. But in summer, when the weather is hot, people's pores and muscles are in a state of catharsis, and the cold easily invades the body, leading to the loss of yang. The symptoms you can see are chills in your hands and feet, hamstring twitching, blurred vision in your eyes, and even unexplained fever. At the same time, even if you take a hot bath, you should pay attention to shelter from the wind after taking a bath, especially for children.
Third, avoid sleeping and gluttony at night:
In ancient times, a man came to consult Peng Zu, a health care master, because his family did not live long. Peng Zu followed the man to his house and searched it carefully. He found a hole in the wall of the bedroom, facing the sleeping man's head. Peng Zu had the hole plugged, and the family really lived a long life.
People's health in summer solstice
1. Male:
Prevention and treatment of summer-heat injury
The solstice in summer is the most active time of the year. Continuous high temperature makes the execution of human qi and blood 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.
2. Lady:
1 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.
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".
3. The elderly:
Sleep on the mat, and be careful not to get board disease.
Many elderly people like to sleep on a mat to spend the hot summer days, but after some people sleep on a mat, many small red pimples will appear on the panel, 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 the mat is used up, you can also use this method to clean and store it, and then put some moth-proof and mildew-proof products to prevent the emergence of mites. 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 allergy belongs to a contact panel disease.
4. Pregnant women:
Take a hot bath to relieve the 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 the water evaporates, these inorganic and organic substances will still remain on the panel, which may cause prickly heat and even dermatitis.
To remove the dirt left on the surface of the panel, the simplest thing 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 will * * * pores, make capillaries shrink, and affect the discharge of internal heat and body toxins. Warm water can dilate blood vessels on body surface, promote blood circulation, improve panel 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 panel, dry the panel, and even lead to the rupture of microvessels. 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.
Healthy eating methods in summer
1, drink more soup
When people sweat more and lose more body fluids, drinking more soup can not only replenish water in time, but also help digestion and absorption. Simple and easy-to-learn "heatstroke prevention soup" such as hawthorn soup, mung bean sour plum soup, honeysuckle soup, watermelon Cui Yi soup, etc.
2. Eat more fruits and vegetables
Sweet melon juice can not only quench thirst, but also clear away heat and relieve summer heat. Watermelon is sweet, juicy and cool, and it is the first melon to clear summer heat and quench thirst. In addition, melons and cucumbers are eaten raw after washing, or drunk after juicing, which has a good effect of clearing heat and relieving summer heat. Kiwi contains a lot of vitamin C, which has a very good effect of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat.
Step 3 drink more tea
The researchers measured two groups of people who drank hot tea and drinks on hot days. The results show that warm tea can reduce the panel temperature 1-2 degrees, while cold drinks can only cool the mouth. People who drink tea feel cool and comfortable, and their thirst disappears completely, while people who drink cold drinks feel depressed and thirsty. It will be more beneficial to prevent heatstroke if we can add some salt to warm tea to make up for the salt lost due to excessive sweating.
Step 4 eat more green vegetables
The weather is hot and humid, so people generally like to eat light, delicious and non-greasy food, and vegetables have this characteristic, which is rich in vitamins and mineral elements. So try to eat more green vegetables, such as beans, melons, Chinese cabbage, parsley and so on. You can eat it cold and raw, or you can fry it with a little shredded lean meat. The specific methods vary from person to person.
5. Drink more porridge
In the hot summer, people's intestines and stomach will be relatively weakened by the summer heat, which is prone to discomfort such as top-heaviness, loss of appetite and even heatstroke. Therefore, drinking health porridge in summer is one of the dietary conditioning measures, such as mung bean porridge, honeysuckle porridge, mint porridge, lotus seed porridge, lotus leaf porridge and lotus root porridge.
