Chinese medicine believes that the five internal organs correspond to the five seasons, that is, the liver is spring, the heart is summer, the spleen is long summer, the lung is autumn, and the kidney is winter. Summer is the most vigorous time of yang in a year, and it is also the period of vigorous heart function.

Chinese medicine believes that the heart is the master of the internal organs and the yang in the yang. Huangdi Neijing said: "The heart is a monarch, and the master is unknown, then the twelve officials are in danger." The heart governs the blood, and the heart hides the spirit. Its brilliance lies in the face, the tongue is enlightened, and the liquid is sweat.

You should go to bed late and get up early in summer. Comply with the summer dawn early, dark late. Get up with yang, sleep with yang.

Take a nap at noon. Noon is also called the middle of the day, that is 1 1 to 13. When the heart meridian is at its peak, we need to have lunch to keep fit and take a nap to rest our spirits. Taking a nap can help us maintain our mental state.

Exercise quietly in summer and don't move. You can choose less intense soothing exercises, such as walking, swimming, playing Tai Ji Chuan, sweating slightly, etc., to reduce the burden on your heart.

Exercise time should be chosen in the cool time in the morning and evening to avoid strenuous exercise in strong sunlight.

Never be too full. Avoid increasing the burden on the heart.

Eat less or not eat cold food. In order to adapt to the four seasons and the period of strong sunshine in summer, cold food is easy to hurt the sun.

Stay calm. It's very hot in summer, and it's easy to get upset.

Eat more nutritious food. Eating more bitter foods such as lotus plumule, bitter gourd and bitter chrysanthemum in summer is beneficial to nourishing the heart. In addition, if red is in your heart, you should also eat seasonal fruits such as red beans, watermelons and tomatoes, which can play a role in nourishing your heart and adjusting your mind.
