Chinese medicine believes that the hot weather in summer increases human consumption, and it is urgent to supplement nutrition and body fluids. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare for "heatstroke prevention and moisture prevention" in health care. Let me introduce some knowledge to you, I hope it will be useful to you!

TCM summer health 1, diet aftercare

The theory of five elements holds that the heart fire is orderly in summer, and excessive heart fire suppresses lung gold, so there is a saying in synopsis of the golden chamber that the heart is not eaten in summer. Bitter things can also help the heart control the lungs. Therefore, Sun Simiao advocated: "On the 72nd day of summer, suffering should be increased to nourish lung qi". If you sweat more in summer, you will lose more salt. If the myocardium is short of salt, the pulse will be abnormal. It is advisable to eat more sour taste to strengthen the exterior and more salty taste to replenish the heart. When asked about the method of storing qi, he said: the heart governs summer, "the heart is bitter and slow, and it is urgent to eat acid to collect it", "the heart wants to be depressed, and it is urgent to eat salty to suppress it, salty to supplement it, and sweet to diarrhea it". According to Yin-Yang theory, Xia Yue's diet should not be too cold, including Yin. For example, Ji pointed out: "In summer, the heart is full of kidney failure. Although it is hot, it is not advisable to eat cold ice and snow, honey water, bean jelly and cold porridge. When you are full of cold, you will get cholera. " The heart governs the exterior, the kidney governs the interior, and the heart is flourishing and the kidney fails, that is, the exterior is hot and the interior is cold, but the exterior is hot and the interior is cold, so it is not advisable to eat more cold food, but it is also possible to eat less. Eating too much will definitely hurt the spleen and stomach and make people vomit and diarrhea. Watermelon, mung bean soup and dark plum bean soup have good effects on quenching thirst and relieving summer heat, but they should not be chilled. The summer climate is hot, people's digestive function is weak, and the diet should be light, not greasy and sweet.

In summer, pathogenic microorganisms are easy to multiply and food is easy to rot and deteriorate. Intestinal diseases often occur. Therefore, pay attention to food hygiene and beware of "illness from the mouth".

Chinese medicine summer health 2, exercise aftercare

Summer exercise is best done in the early morning or evening when the weather is cool. The venue should be fresh air in parks, rivers and lakes and courtyards. Walking, jogging, Tai Ji Chuan, Qigong and radio exercise are the best exercise programs. If possible, it is best to go to alpine forests and coastal areas for recuperation. It is not advisable to do excessive exercise in summer. Because strenuous exercise leads to sweating, excessive sweating will not only hurt yin, but also hurt yang. When sweating too much, you can drink salty boiled water or mung bean salt soup appropriately, and you must not drink cold boiled water in large quantities; Don't use cold water or forest bath immediately. Otherwise, it will cause diseases such as cold-dampness arthralgia and "yellow sweat".

TCM summer health 3, mental conditioning

Summer is fire, corresponding to the heart, so in the hot summer, we should pay attention to the conditioning of the mind. "Su Wen's Theory of Four Qi Regulating Spirit" points out: "Make ambition not angry, make Huaying put on a show, and let off steam. If love is outside, this summer gas is the way to grow. " That is to say, in summer, you should be calm, cheerful, broad-minded and energetic, just like a budding flower needs sunshine, you should have a strong interest in external things and cultivate an optimistic and outgoing personality, which is conducive to the ventilation of qi. On the other hand, it is not appropriate to be lazy, tired, angry and depressed, which hinders qi activity. Ji Kang's health theory says that it is hot in summer, "it is more appropriate to adjust your breath and calm your breath. You often have ice and snow in your heart, and your heart is less hot. You can't turn heat into heat and then heat it again." This paper points out the summer regimen of "being calm and cool", which is of great reference value.

Chinese medicine summer health 4, daily conditioning

Go to bed late and get up early in summer to adapt to the changes in nature.

"Summer heat is easy to hurt qi". Summer heat can make people sweat too much, make people dizzy, chest tightness, palpitation, thirst, nausea and even coma. Therefore, when arranging labor or physical exercise, we should avoid the scorching sun and pay attention to strengthening protection. After lunch, you need to arrange a nap, one is to avoid the hot trend, and the other is to recover from fatigue.

Taking a warm bath every day in hot summer is a fitness measure worth promoting. It can not only wash away sweat and dirt, make the panel fresh, relieve summer heat and prevent diseases, but also exercise. Due to the water pressure and mechanical action during warm water washing, it can reduce the excitability of nervous system, dilate blood vessels on the body surface, accelerate blood circulation, improve the nutrition of skin and tissues, reduce muscle tension, eliminate fatigue, improve sleep and enhance resistance. When there is no condition to take a warm bath, you can wipe your body with a warm towel, which can also play the above role.

Summer is hot, vulnerable to wind evil, cold and dampness. It is not advisable to go to the toilet to replenish air when sleeping, let alone stay outside at night. In an air-conditioned room, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should not be too large. When enjoying the cool, don't be under the eaves or in the aisle, away from the cracks in doors and windows. You can enjoy the cool under the budding trees, in the water pavilion and on the balcony, but not for too long, in case the thief is cold and the thief is hot.

It's hot and sweaty in summer, so clothes should be washed and changed frequently. Wearing wet clothes or clothes that have just been aired for a long time can make people sick.

From midsummer to beginning of autumn, people call it "midsummer", that is, "dog days", which is the season with the highest temperature and the highest yang. For some chronic diseases that attack every winter, such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, bronchial asthma, diarrhea, arthralgia syndrome and other yang deficiency syndromes, it is the best time to prevent and treat them, which is called "treating winter diseases in summer".

After fine grinding, 60g fresh ginger can be pounded into juice paste and spread on 6 pieces of oil paper or plastic film with a diameter of about 5cm respectively. If there is musk, it is best to put 0.3g in the center of the medicine cake and stick it on both sides of lung Shu and heart. Generally, it lasts for 4 to 6 hours. If it feels hot, you can take it off in advance. Local slight itching or warm and comfortable, you can persist for several hours. Stick it once per volt, three times a year.
