Summer solar terms are alternating periods of hot and cool. In nature, yin strengthens yang and weakens, and the yang of the human body is also adduced, and "autumn deficiency" also appears. Adequate sleep can not only eliminate fatigue, but also make the brain and body get adequate rest, which is one of the important methods of health care and beauty. We should make full use of sleep to recuperate our bodies.
Step 2 sleep for an extra hour
Summer heat is an alternating period from hot to cool, and the yang in nature tends to converge, and the ups and downs of yin and yang in the human body also change accordingly. Therefore, from the perspective of health, the daily routine should be adjusted accordingly.
Experts say that adding an hour's sleep and ensuring a quality nap can make people refreshed, and can also save energy and recharge before winter comes.
3. Eat more foods that clear away heat and soothe the nerves.
"Illness comes from the mouth", and diet and disease are easily "linked". After the summer heat, the temperature difference between morning and evening begins to change obviously, the stomach can't accept the cold and hot stimulation, the gastric acid secretion increases, the gastrointestinal spasm contracts, and the resistance and adaptability will decrease. At this time, some gastrointestinal diseases are prone to occur, and patients with chronic gastrointestinal diseases often have symptoms such as acid reflux, abdominal distension, diarrhea and abdominal pain. Coupled with improper diet, this discomfort will be further aggravated, so we must be cautious in diet. From the health point of view, it is suitable to eat foods that clear away heat and soothe the nerves, such as tremella, lily, lotus seeds, honey, yellow croaker, scallop, kelp, jellyfish, celery, spinach, glutinous rice, sesame, beans, milk, etc., but these foods should not be eaten too much at a time, so as to eat less and eat more meals.
4. Eat more fruits and vegetables and drink more porridge soup.
After the summer heat, the climate gradually becomes dry, which hurts the lungs. If you often eat spicy fried food, it is easier to hurt your lungs and aggravate dehydration and dryness of your body. The best way to deal with "autumn dryness" is to drink more water. You can add salt or honey to boiling water, try to eat less fried, barbecue and hot food, and eat more fruits, lilies and some porridge soup that nourishes yin and moistens lungs, moistens dryness and promotes fluid production.
5. Avoid adding clothes too early.
The common sense of autumn health care suggests that "cold in spring and freezing in autumn" means keeping the body temperature low in autumn, which is conducive to the convergence of yang. Because when heat goes out, there will be cold exchange. However, when you go out at night, you should add clothes to protect the yang. At the same time, it is cold in the morning and evening, so we should pay attention to increasing clothes.
6, pay attention to keep the stomach warm
Close the doors and windows at night, cover the abdomen with a thin quilt, and keep the stomach warm in autumn to prevent the spleen and stomach from catching cold due to the autumn wind cycle. According to the laws of nature, yin increases and yang decreases in autumn, and the corresponding yang of human body is also absorbed in order to store yang in the body. However, as the weather turns cold, many people will feel lazy and tired, can't afford to stay in bed in the morning, and don't like to move during the day. This is what people often say about the "autumn shortage" in summer siesta.
7. Adhere to moderate exercise.
Exercise is an important part of health preservation. Moderate exercise can promote blood circulation and accelerate metabolism.
8. Prevent autumn dryness
After the summer heat, the weather is relatively dry and there is little rain, so people will feel uncomfortable, and there will be autumn dryness such as tight skin, peeling and desquamation, dull hair, chapped lips or chapped stools. However, drinking more water and porridge is a good way to prevent autumn dryness.
9. Protect navel from diseases
After the summer solar term, the weather is getting colder, and the epidermis at the navel is the thinnest, which is particularly sensitive to external stimuli. If the navel is not properly protected, the cold can easily invade the human body through the navel, causing physical discomfort. If the cold accumulates too much in the lower abdomen, it will also lead to various diseases of the digestive system and genitourinary system.
10, turn on the air conditioner less and turn on the electric fan less.
In summer, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and respiratory diseases such as pneumonia and asthma are easy to attack, which is also the high incidence period of hypertension, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction and stroke. Frequently blowing air conditioners and electric fans may cause diseases such as scapulohumeral periarthritis, cervical spondylosis and gout; It may also lead to digestive system diseases such as diarrhea, gastritis and enteritis.
1 1, posting autumn fat should be gradual.
In early autumn, the situation of poor appetite in summer gradually improved, and people began to paste autumn fat actively or passively to store energy to cope with the cold in autumn and winter. However, people's gastrointestinal function is weak in summer and solar terms, and too much high-protein foods such as meat will increase the burden on the stomach and affect the gastrointestinal function.
12, can adhere to the habit of cold water bath.
No matter which season, it is absolutely right to keep exercising. The advantage of exercise after autumn is that after a certain period of exercise in an environment with gradually decreasing temperature, it can promote the body's material metabolism, increase heat production and improve its adaptability to low temperature.
