In summer, the human body is full of enthusiasm, extroverted and has the most vigorous metabolism. At this time, the human body's ability to resist external evils is relatively strong, showing summer as a whole? Everything is flashy. The characteristics of. The following is the knowledge I brought to you about the concept of health preservation in summer of traditional Chinese medicine. Welcome to reading.

First, the summer climate characteristics

Summer and March refer to April to June in the lunar calendar and June to August in the solar calendar. That is, from the day of long summer to the day of beginning of autumn. Including long summer, small full, mangzhong, summer solstice, small summer and big summer. "Su Wen? The theory of four-qi-tune spirit:? Xia San Moon, this is called Xiangxiu, and everything in the world is flashy. ? Fan is lush; The performance was wonderful. This means that in the three months of summer, the sun is shining, the geothermal heat is steaming, and the atmosphere of heaven and earth is fully combined. During this period, the air is clear and full, which is the most lush and gorgeous season for all things in nature.

Summer is the highest temperature period in a year, with dry and hot inland areas and humid and muggy coastal areas. But summer weather is by no means a hot word. Affected by the subtropical high in China, rainfall in most areas is mainly concentrated during this period, especially in late July and early August, which is often the concentrated period of heavy rain and heavy rain; And all kinds of disastrous weather, such as lightning, hail, thunderstorm and strong wind, flood, drought, typhoon and so on. It also happened at this time. Therefore, there is almost always a hot and humid and steaming stage in mainland China in summer, which is not only high in temperature, but also rainy and humid, and the most humid and sultry. Traditional Chinese medicine calls this stage long summer, and people are prone to feel the evil of summer heat and dampness and get sick.

Second, the physiological characteristics of the human body in summer

In summer, the human body is full of enthusiasm, extroverted and has the most vigorous metabolism. At this time, the human body's ability to resist external evils is relatively strong, showing summer as a whole? Everything is flashy. The characteristics of. The physiological changes of the human body in summer are mainly reflected in the following points: First, the qi and blood are running vigorously. In summer, the yang rises to the extreme, with abundant yang and high temperature, filling the exterior and interior. The yang of the human body runs outside, and the qi and blood tend to the exterior and interior. The second is the leakage of body fluids. It's hot every day in summer, so it's easy for human body to begin to understand and drain, and body fluid leaks out. The amount of sweating is obviously higher than that in other three seasons, and the amount of urine is relatively lower than that in other seasons. The third is that the heart is connected with summer. The human heart corresponds to summer. In summer, the physiological function of the heart is relatively strong, showing that the heart governs the blood vessels, the blood is vigorous, the exercise is smooth, the sweat excretion is increased, the yang is full, and it floats outside, and the functional activities are also strengthened and energetic.

Third, the significance of summer health

Keep fit in summer. Summer is the season with the highest yang, and the climate is hot and full of vitality. At this time, it is a period of metabolism, with yang as the outside and yin as the inside, and the blood circulation is correspondingly vigorous and active on the body surface. Summer health care focuses on mental adjustment, maintaining a happy and stable mood, and avoiding great sadness and joy, so as not to add fuel to the fire. Calm people and cool themselves, which can achieve the purpose of health preservation.

Fourth, nourish the mind in summer, nourish the heart and nourish the blood.

In summer, the heart governs the gods and the heart governs the blood vessels, so it is very important to nourish the heart in summer for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in summer mainly have three manifestations: First, blood pressure is relatively stable. Summer weather is hot, human blood vessels dilate, and the blood pressure of patients with hypertension will be relatively reduced and tend to be stable, so the condition of patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is generally stable in summer. Second, you sweat a lot. Hot weather can easily lead to body drainage, body fluid leakage, and sweating (sweating refers to the amount of liquid discharged from sweat pores after body fluid evaporates due to yang evaporation), which is far greater than that in other seasons. Because sweat is transformed from body fluid, blood and body fluid come from the same source. Blood and sweat are homologous? And the blood is dominated by the heart, so there is? Sweat is the fluid of the heart? Known as. Summer is also connected with the heart, sweating in summer is easy to make the heart yin consume and hurt, and the heart will not disperse. The third is fatigue and shortness of breath. There are many reasons for fatigue in summer. For example, the spleen dominates the limbs in long summer, and it is easy to cause drowsiness and fatigue in long summer. Or the summer sun? Angry? . However, the summer heat consumes the sad qi and yin, and the active function of qi decreases, so patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases with insufficient qi and yin are more likely to have symptoms of fatigue. Therefore, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases must grasp the relationship between seasons and viscera, replenish the energy consumed by the heart purposefully in summer for three months, and protect the qi and yin of the heart.

Summer is connected with the heart. In summer, people's qi and blood come outside. At this time, the outside is very full. Chinese medicine believes that summer qi and heart qi are interlinked. Why do you say that? Everyone may have this experience. It's very hot in summer, and when you sweat a lot, you will feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. This is because the heart is the main conductor of summer (heart and summer belong to the same fire in the five elements). Therefore, keeping in good health in summer focuses on nourishing the heart.

First of all, we must understand that everything in the world exists? Spring, summer, autumn harvest and winter storage? The law of movement and change. People should naturally want to live a long and healthy life, right? Should it be timely? Follow this rule. ? Chunsheng? And then what? Xia Chang? There are both differences and close ties. In spring, due to the mild weather, living cells in people's bodies become active; Three months later, Yang has gradually reached a very prosperous level in essence. On the one hand, the sun is pushing down, and on the other hand, the geothermal energy is rising. This intersection of heaven and earth has greatly promoted the development of everything? Fan xiu? And then what? Chinese teacher? . During the month of Xia San, the metabolism of the human body is also very strong. This is a good thing, but if you ignore the essentials of summer health, it may become a bad thing! Although people's yang is abundant in summer, it is easy to leak out; In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, which makes it easy to get insufficient sleep. In summer, people sweat a lot and lose fluid easily; It is too hot in summer, which easily affects people's appetite; People are also prone to get sick because of gluttony in summer.

According to TCM theory, the heart is the master of the whole body. Heart? That is, it controls blood circulation and mental activities. Heart, the official of the monarch? To stay healthy, we must first nourish the heart, and a strong heart is the basis for the health and normality of all organs. To maintain a state of mind, we must first pay attention to the adjustment of the seven emotions. The so-called seven emotions are joy, anger, worry, thinking, sadness, fear and surprise. If the seven emotions are too strong, it will cause the disorder of qi and blood function of zang-fu organs. Therefore, we should be open-minded in everything, and we should not suffer from loss, but is there? Take a step back and broaden your horizons? A good attitude and integrity are of great benefit to cultivating the mind and maintaining a good attitude and psychological balance. Have a good mood every day. Secondly, moral cultivation, benevolence cultivation, change cultivation and wisdom cultivation. Pay attention to your moral cultivation. Do more good deeds. ? Calm and nihilistic, mentally defensive, sick and safe? .
