With the withdrawal of the last cold air this year, we officially ushered in a hot summer. Although there are some windy weather in most parts of the north, we can still feel the warmth of summer. Starting today, we will begin to carry out popular science related to summer health. Let's learn about summer from the perspective of health!
Summer is the season with the highest yang, and the climate is hot and full of vitality. At this time, it is a period of metabolism, with yang as the outside and yin as the inside, and the blood circulation is correspondingly vigorous and active on the body surface. Summer is characterized by dryness and heat, which is neutralized by cool and driven by sunny. Therefore, clearing away dryness and reducing fever is the key to keeping fit in summer.
It's easy to feel sleepy, irritable and sultry when the summer heat is steaming. Therefore, first of all, they should calm down their thoughts, be calm and calm, and avoid being furious to prevent internal fire.
Pay attention to nourishing the heart. Summer is the high incidence of heart disease. Chinese medicine believes that the yang of the heart is the most vigorous in summer, so we should pay more attention to the health care of the heart in summer.
Summer health care focuses on mental adjustment, maintaining a happy and stable mood, and avoiding great sadness and joy, so as not to add fuel to the fire. Calm people and cool themselves, which can achieve the purpose of health preservation.
In summer, most people get sick immediately, so there is a saying that "the debt is quick in June". However, there is a disease that lurks in autumn and will be very serious if it continues into winter! -this is the "heart disease." In other words, Neijing said, "The way to grow up this summer is to be healthy." On the contrary, it is sad. It is malaria in autumn and serious illness in winter. "
But it must be noted that the "heart disease" mentioned here does not refer to the "cardiovascular disease" in modern medicine, but refers to the mental illness related to "consciousness and emotion"!
For the average person, it is easy to prevent "lung deficiency and kidney deficiency" in summer, but whether the "heart" in a very prosperous position should be maintained is often taken lightly! It is also important to arrange rest time reasonably on weekdays. Don't stay up too late at night, get up around 6: 30 in the morning to exercise.
The weather is hot in summer, so we should pay more attention to health care and avoid going astray. Generally summed up as "six less":
First, eat less.
If you eat too much, the blood will be concentrated in the stomach for a long time, and other organs will be ischemic accordingly, leading to drowsiness. It can even induce gallbladder disease, diabetes and obesity, leading to premature aging and shortened life expectancy.
Second, be less angry.
Anger leads to qi stagnation, which in turn leads to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. People who get angry easily should exercise self-restraint when encountering things. Or consciously transfer the goal, balance and stabilize your emotions, or change the environment to calm down.
Third, talk less.
Constantly talking loudly will cause qi deficiency and affect the function of respiratory organs, which is not conducive to health.
Fourth, less desire.
It is important to cultivate one's mind and cultivate one's nature. People's life is inseparable from material and spiritual needs and pursuits. But this pursuit should proceed from reality, never be divorced from subjective and objective conditions, even fantasy, and eventually suffer disappointment.
Fifth, lie down less.
Old people lie down easily, but they need to be temperate. If you stay in bed for a long time, it will damage the yang. Life lies in exercise. Moderate exercise is beneficial to the physical maintenance of the elderly.
Sixth, there are few colors.
That is, lack of desire to nourish essence. Nourishing sperm is to protect the physiological function of organs.
