What should we pay attention to in summer solar terms?
1, daily health
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the human body is full of yang in summer, which has the function of protecting the body surface and resisting external evils. Only when we protect our Yang Can, can we be healthy. The summer climate is hot, and the human body consumes a lot of energy. At this time, it is advisable to follow the principle of "less movement and more quietness" to avoid excessive yang leakage. Work and rest regularly every day. In addition to ensuring adequate sleep, we should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest. Be sure to master the intensity when exercising to avoid excessive intensity.
As the saying goes, "Don't sit on a stone in winter and a tree in summer." Summer solar terms, high temperature and high humidity. Wood placed in the open air for a long time, such as wooden chairs and benches in residential areas or parks, is exposed to rain and contains more water. The surface looks dry, but as soon as it is exposed to the sun, the temperature will rise and moisture will be emitted. If people sit on it for a long time, it may induce diseases such as hemorrhoids, rheumatism and arthritis. Therefore, it is not advisable to sit on wooden benches and chairs for a long time in summer.
2. Diet and health
As the saying goes, "the summer heat is in the dog days", and the solar terms in the summer are around the early summer. Therefore, we should pay attention to clearing away heat and summer heat in diet, eat more soup or porridge made of lotus leaves, Smilax glabra, lentils, coix seed, polyporus and Alisma orientalis, and eat more fruits and vegetables such as watermelon, cucumber, loofah and wax gourd.
Some people sum up the diet of the Summer Festival as "three flowers, three leaves, three beans and three fruits". "Three flowers" refers to honeysuckle, chrysanthemum and lily, which are sold in pharmacies and are suitable for brewing into tea, and are good in summer; "Three leaves" refers to lotus leaves, bamboo leaves and mint leaves, which can also be bought in pharmacies and are also suitable for brewing; "Three beans" refer to mung beans, red beans and black beans, which are called "summer fire extinguishers" by Chinese medicine, which can clear away heat and reduce fire; "Three fruits" refer to watermelon, bitter gourd and wax gourd.
The focus is on bitter gourd, and Chinese medicine theory says: "Bitter can clear away heat". Momordica charantia is bitter and cold, and belongs to spleen, stomach, heart and liver meridians. It has the effects of clearing away heat and relieving summer-heat, cooling blood and detoxifying, nourishing liver and improving eyesight, and has a certain curative effect on dysentery, sores, heatstroke, fever, excessive miliaria and conjunctivitis.
In addition, the content of vitamin C in bitter gourd is very high, which has the functions of preventing scurvy, protecting cell membrane, preventing atherosclerosis, improving stress ability and protecting heart. At the same time, the effective components in bitter gourd can inhibit the canceration of normal cells, promote the recovery of mutant cells, and have certain anti-cancer effects. Bitter gourd is a kind of high-energy serum lipid, which is known as "fat killer". Its special ingredients can reduce the intake of fat and polysaccharide by about 40%~60%, and can be used to lose weight.
3. Exercise for health
Excessive exercise intensity should be avoided in summer. You can choose to take a walk or Tai Ji Chuan in the morning or evening, or you can choose swimming, yoga and travel. No matter what kind of exercise you choose, you should pay attention to avoid sweating after exercise.
Swimming is the most suitable exercise in midsummer. Swimming in summer can not only keep fit, but also relieve summer heat. Because the thermal conductivity of water is many times larger than that of air, water can help the body dissipate heat faster when swimming, so people will feel cool and comfortable. Swimming can prevent and treat cervical and lumbar diseases, enhance cardiopulmonary function and improve immunity.
When swimming, due to the buoyancy of water, the spine of the body can be changed from the original upright state to the horizontal state, which greatly reduces the burden on the spine, thus effectively reducing the pressure in the cervical and lumbar intervertebral discs. At the same time, the water flow can also play a "massage" role on the spine, muscles and skin, and has a certain effect on the prevention and treatment of cervical and lumbar diseases. Swimming can not only increase the strength of respiratory muscles, but also expand the range of chest activities and increase the capacity of lungs, thus enhancing lung function.
When swimming, all organs of the human body participate in it, and the blood circulation is also accelerated, providing more nutrition for the sports organs. The acceleration of blood speed will increase the load on the heart, accelerate the heartbeat frequency and make the contraction stronger. Therefore, long-term swimming can enhance myocardial function.
It is very hot in summer, and people easily become restless. At this time, practicing yoga can play a role in calming the nerves and nourishing the nature. Yoga, which originated in India, is an ancient fitness method. In the Yoga Sutra written by patanjali, an ancient sage, yoga is accurately defined as "the control of mental function". Studies have shown that practicing yoga for a long time is helpful to exert the control and regulation of the autonomic nervous system by the mind. Practicing yoga in summer can keep people calm and help relieve irritability.
4. Emotional health
The summer climate is hot, and people are easily agitated, so we should pay attention to maintaining "peace of mind" in terms of emotions. When you encounter anything, you should avoid impatience and anger, keep a calm mind, and be "calm and natural."
Introduction of summer solar terms.
Summer is also hot. "Summer is as wet as steaming, and summer is as dry as baking".
As the old saying goes, it's not hot in summer, but three days in summer. Although the summer heat is getting smaller and smaller, the record of extreme maximum temperature in nearly 29% of China is born during the summer heat (26% during the summer heat, followed by beginning of autumn, summer solstice, Mangzhong and Xiaoman).
Judging from the number of high temperature days and the average temperature index, the summer heat is better than the summer heat. In other words, Xiao Shu is more explosive and better at setting records; The summer heat lasts longer and is better at performing series. Therefore, although the names are different, they are all masters of making high temperatures, and they are the most "hot" players in the heat wave championship, but the main events are slightly different.
A little summer is as hot as a big summer, and a little cold is as cold as a big cold. We should not despise it just because it is "small". You must not despise all kinds of things called "little x" in your life …
In the hot summer season, there are often heat waves, and it is rare to have a refreshing wind. Under the monsoon climate of "rain and heat in the same season", precipitation and temperature begin to appear extreme values.
In summer, some places gradually enter the rainy season, while others suffer from summer drought. So some places are "small summer, big water"; In some places, "the summer rain is as small as silver and as big as gold".
As the saying goes, "Little summer, big summer, steam up and cook down". In fact, it is not just cooking, but also burning, roasting, frying, boiling and so on. The weather cooks us fresh and juicy in various ways.
Summer heat is one of the six evils mentioned by the ancients (wind, cold, summer heat, dampness, dryness and fire). If the climate is abnormal or the weather changes too fast; Beyond a certain limit, the body can't adapt, which will lead to the occurrence of diseases.
The ancients said, "If you are insatiable, you will be angry.". But we are often too "greedy"-too greedy and too cold, and "willing to take the wind and eat cold". Some diseases are often caused by blowing cold air and eating cold drinks. In midsummer, the diet should be soft and light.
There is no life in summer, and there is no sorrow in autumn. I hope people are all right.

As everyone knows, these are very unhealthy, and it is easy to cause physical discomfort or bury health risks.
Fourth, calm down and nourish your heart.
In summer, when the weather is hot, people tend to be restless, sleepy and lack of energy. Therefore, according to the characteristics of this season, in terms of health care, we should maintain the heart according to the corresponding relationship between the season and the five internal organs.
The heart is the first of the five internal organs, and there is a saying that "the heart will shake the five internal organs", and the maintenance of the heart is particularly important.
Chinese medicine believes that calmness can relieve tense emotions, make people feel comfortable and ease their qi and blood; It not only contributes to the vigorous heart function, but also conforms to the principle of "nourishing Yang in spring and summer". Therefore, it is appropriate to maintain health with "peace of mind" in summer, and peace of mind is naturally cool.
