Women should remember four principles in summer.
1, drink hot tea
In summer, many people like to drink cold drinks to relieve the summer heat, but they can only eliminate the hot air at that time and make people cool down temporarily, but they can't really relieve the summer heat. In fact, drinking hot tea in summer is the best way to relieve summer heat and thirst, because hot tea is beneficial to sweat glands and can achieve the effect of heat dissipation, and tea can improve the transport ability of the spleen and stomach and send water to the whole body.
2, hot water soaking feet
In summer, women can soak their feet with hot water, and the water temperature should be 42℃ ~ 45℃, and the best time is 15 ~ 30 minutes. Foot bath water should be at least over the foot surface, and the effect will be better if the calves are soaked together.
Because feet are women's? A second heart? Hot water soaking feet can provide it with energy. Soaking feet with hot water can make qi and blood run smoothly, increase the blood velocity and flow of feet, enhance metabolism, promote sleep and relieve low back pain. It is recommended that women who are afraid of the cold wear thin cotton socks before going to bed at night.
Step 3 take a hot bath
Women should pay attention not to take a cold bath in summer, nor to wash their hair and feet with cold water, and avoid getting wet in rainy days, because cold water hurts the spirit of the sun the most. It is recommended that women take a bath with hot water, and the water temperature is generally controlled at around 30℃, because hot water bathing can expand the capillaries of the body, which is beneficial to the body's heat dissipation and detoxification, and can supplement the yang.
In addition, women can also use hot towels to wipe their faces and bodies, which can not only remove dust and dirt, but also sweat and cool down, making their skin breathable and comfortable.
Step 4 Exercise properly
Exercise in summer can accelerate metabolism in the body and help to sweat. The weather leaks in summer, and exercise is an important way to sweat. Exercise can also strengthen heat adaptation, improve the body's function of regulating body temperature and prevent heatstroke.
What should women pay attention to in summer health care?
1, air conditioning constant temperature.
Many women are used to setting the temperature at a certain value when using air conditioners in summer. In fact, constantly adjusting the room temperature can keep people's physiological temperature regulation mechanism? Nervous? , so as to improve people's adaptability and self-protection ability, so as to avoid catching colds or other indoor diseases. Of course, when the air conditioner is used for adjustment for the first time, the temperature change range should be controlled between 3 degrees Celsius and 5 degrees Celsius; After half a month, the amplitude can be gradually increased to 6 degrees Celsius to 10 degrees Celsius. Don't change the temperature too suddenly, and it is advisable to adjust it at 1 Celsius to 2 Celsius every time.
2. I like to take a bath in cold water to cool off the heat.
On a hot summer day, women come home sweaty and always want to take a cold bath. However, people in poor health may have symptoms such as limited neck movement and numbness of hands and feet. Especially when you just get home, it's best not to blow the air conditioner or take a shower immediately. Especially after exercise, blood flows quickly, blood vessels dilate, cold water is poured, blood vessels contract immediately, while blood is still flowing rapidly, and blood vessel pressure rises immediately. When blood vessels contract too fast, they will naturally rupture and even endanger life.
Reminder: When a person has a fever after exercise, don't take a bath with a whole basin of cold water. Even if you like to take a cold bath, you'd better wipe it with a wet towel first to cool your body and slow down the blood flow.
3, the amount of exercise is large
In fact, you should try to choose moderate exercise in summer. Too intense exercise will make you sweat and consume a lot of exercise. Sweating too much is equivalent to losing a lot of physical strength, which will also make you feel bad. You might as well choose to play Tai Chi, Qigong or Yuanji Dance. Choose moderate exercise and keep gentle and leisurely breathing. Only tiny blood vessels or meridians in the body can get enough nutrition.
4, like to eat cold food
Although cold food can cool down, it ignores the high temperature in the body (sometimes as high as 37 degrees), and suddenly drinking ice water and pouring it into the body will be unbearable. Relieve summer heat and soothe the nerves, drink chrysanthemum tea, honeysuckle tea, mung bean soup or fruit with high water content. But people with cold stomach should drink less and more boiled water. People with deficiency-heat constitution may wish to eat tremella, lotus seeds or lilies to relieve summer heat and replenish qi.
