With the continuous progress of society and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, more and more people begin to pay attention to health preservation. There are many ways to maintain health in life, and sunbathing is a very common thing. In fact, there are symptoms about sunbathing and health care in Chinese medicine. Which parts of the body are best for sunbathing? Below, I will give you a detailed introduction.

1, suitable for the sun.

1. Sunbathing on the head: aphrodisiac.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the head is the head of all yang", that is, all Yang Qi converge here, and the essence of the five zang-organs and the qi of clearing yang in the six fu-organs all converge at the head. Baihui point is located in the center of the head (passing through the midpoint of the connecting line between the two ears) and is the intersection of hundreds of veins. When sunbathing, you must let the sun shine on your head, preferably at noon, that is, between 1 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. At this time, the sun is the most abundant. After lunch, office workers may wish to go outdoors and let the sun shine all over their heads, which can replenish the yang along the pulse.

2. Sun Back: Regulating Qi and Blood

The abdomen is yin and the back is yang. The Du Meridian and the Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian (visceral back acupoints) of the human body are distributed in the back. Sunbathing these acupoints can regulate the qi and blood of viscera. Yang is like the guardian of the human body. If the human body is full of yang, it can resist all external evils and strengthen its body.

We turn our backs on the sun and let it shine directly on our backs. After a while, we will feel warm and comfortable all over. Many acupoints and meridians on the back, especially the most important Du meridian (located in the midline of the back), can also be nourished by the sun, making the whole body unobstructed. In addition, Chinese medicine says that "the back is yang, and the heart and lungs are the mainstay", and it often basks in the back, and it also has the function of strengthening the heart and lungs.

Dry your legs and feet: dispel the cold

As the saying goes, "Cold begins with the first step". People with yang deficiency are very cold all year round. In this case, dry your legs and feet. Sunlight can take away the cold of legs and feet, accelerate the absorption of calcium and help prevent osteoporosis. Sufficient sunshine for legs and feet in spring and summer can store energy, and winter helps to resist the cold and protect healthy qi.

In addition, Zusanli point on the calf (located at the lower four fingers of the external knee of the calf and the edge of the tibia) is a very important health-care point for the human body. Regular massage and acupuncture can strengthen the body and regulate the spleen and stomach. It also has a good health care function to let Zusanli point receive sunshine bath.

Step 4 dry your hands: promote sleep

When basking in the sun, there is one place that may be taken care of by few people, and that is our palms. Moreover, there is a very important acupoint in the palm of your hand-Laogong (naturally clench your fist, the point below the fingertip of your middle finger). Laogong point is the point of pericardium meridian, and the five elements belong to fire. Pressing this point has the functions of clearing away heart fire, calming the heart and calming the nerves. In the warm sunshine, we might as well spread out our hands, palm facing the sun, and let the sun shine into Laogong point, which can release stress, relieve fatigue, promote sleep, and have the effect of strengthening the heart and benefiting qi.

2. the benefits of sunbathing

1. According to the research, every square centimeter of skin exposed to the sun for 3 hours can produce about 20 international units of vitamin D. Even if the baby is wrapped tightly, as long as his face is exposed to the sun 1 hour every day, he can produce 400 international units of vitamin D, which is close to all the daily needs of the baby.

Sunbathing can help people get vitamin D, which is also the main source of vitamin D, also known as "sunshine vitamin". The source of vitamin D3 contained in human skin is made by obtaining ultraviolet rays from sunlight and converted into vitamin D, which can help the human body absorb calcium and phosphorus and make children's bones grow strong and strong. Can be used for preventing rickets and rickets in children. For adults, it can prevent osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Sunbathing can prevent skin diseases. Proper exposure of the skin to ultraviolet rays can effectively kill bacteria on the skin and increase the skin's resistance.

Because the testosterone level in human blood will increase with the increase of vitamin D content in the body. The study also confirmed once again that the daily sunshine of 1 hour can increase testosterone in human body by 69%.
