How much do you know about the joys and sorrows of health preservation in summer?
According to the theory of TCM health preservation, summer is the season when everything grows, and the spleen belongs to the soil, and the soil can give birth to everything. Health preservation in summer is mainly based on nourishing spleen soil, and it belongs to spleen in long summer and is prone to damp heat. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that human nutrition comes from the spleen, which is called "the foundation of the day after tomorrow" and has the functions of "transporting" and "clearing". The so-called "transport" means that people digest the food they eat, in which the essence is sent to the heart and transported to the whole body through the "clearing" effect of the spleen; Dregs are excreted from the large intestine and bladder. In summer, the human body consumes a lot, so it is necessary to strengthen the "work" of the spleen to continuously absorb nutrients from food and maintain human health. At the same time, people eat a lot of cold drinks and fruits in summer, which is easy to damage the spleen and stomach. Many people are prone to "bitter summer", which shows that they don't think about diet and fatigue. By strengthening the spleen and benefiting qi, they can achieve the effect of appetizing, increasing food and refreshing. Therefore, it is very important to replenish spleen in summer. Spleen can be supplemented in the following ways: 1. Spleen-invigorating method: Using raw garlic paste 10g and a little sweet and sour before meals can strengthen the spleen and strengthen the stomach and prevent intestinal diseases. 2. Spleen-invigorating method: choose various medicinal porridge for invigorating the spleen and stomach, such as 50 grams of lotus seeds, 50 grams of white lentils and 50 grams of coix seed, or 20 grams of tremella, 20 grams of lily 10, 20 grams of mung beans, and add glutinous rice 100 grams to cook porridge; Or 50 grams of yam, 50 grams of poria cocos and 250 grams of fried japonica rice to cook porridge. 3. Jianpi method: Generally, strenuous exercise is not suitable in summer. Young people lie on their backs in bed after getting up every day and before going to bed, and do sit-ups 20 ~ 40 times a day. The elderly should use the abdominal rubbing method, that is, lie on the bed, take the abdomen as the center, and massage with the palm for 20 times. 4, warming spleen method: gluttony and cold in summer, easy to accumulate cold in the spleen and stomach and affect the digestive function of the human body.
