Teach you to raise yang in summer
Huangdi Neijing put forward the concept of health preservation. But it's sultry and humid in summer. It is considered that dampness is easy to hurt yang, so it is very important to nourish the yang of human body better in summer. So how to eliminate dampness and nourish yang in hot summer?
1, eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis.
For example, amaranth, lentil, wax gourd, coix seed, mung bean, watermelon Cui Yi, etc. Amaranth stalk is cool and sweet, rich in calcium easily absorbed by human body, and also has the functions of detoxification, clearing heat, diuresis, enriching blood and stopping bleeding. Lentils have the effects of nourishing and strengthening, invigorating spleen and qi, eliminating summer heat and dampness, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling.
Coix seed is not only rich in protein, but also rich in B vitamins, calcium, iron and dietary fiber. It is a grain with balanced nutrition. Because it is easily absorbed, it has the functions of promoting metabolism, reducing gastrointestinal burden, invigorating spleen and eliminating dampness, and enhancing renal function. In addition, wax gourd and watermelon are also cold and sweet, clearing away heat and promoting fluid production. Eating more melon and watermelon in hot and humid weather has a good diuretic effect.
2. Eat less sweets and greasy food.
Don't eat food that hurts the spleen and stomach in such a humid environment. Such as cold food and cold drinks. People who like sweets are also forbidden to eat, because "sweet turns wet"
3. Avoid cold food.
Chinese medicine believes that cold food, ice products or cool fruits and vegetables will make the gastrointestinal function stagnate, and it is not easy to eat. Such as lettuce salad, watermelon and Chinese cabbage.
4, wet head don't * * *.
When washing your hair outdoors, don't wet your hair after using shampoo, which will make water enter your scalp (dry your hair before * * * *). After taking a bath (head), dry your body thoroughly.
5. Avoid wet clothes.
Don't wear wet clothes, cover with a wet quilt, and be diligent in bask in the quilt (padding).
6. Don't sleep on the floor.
Try not to live in the basement (high humidity), and don't sleep directly on the floor in hot weather. The moisture in the air will drop, the floor will be heavy, and it will easily invade the body, causing limb pain. It is best to sleep in a bed at a certain distance from the floor.
7. Reduce going out in rainy days.
Also avoid wading in the rain, and don't let moisture wrap your body (change into dry clothes in time after getting wet).
8, wine helps damp evil, alcohol should be touched less.
Wine itself is wet, and it is easier to make the moisture stay if you drink too much, so it is appropriate to drink a little wine.
In addition, proper sunbathing and sweating at ordinary times will help to eliminate the moisture in the human body.
"3+7" method for eliminating dampness in summer
Many people get wet in summer. In fact, humidity is regulated by diet in daily life.
Method 1 of eliminating dampness: less salt helps kidney drainage.
But this is mainly aimed at people who engage in strenuous physical labor in summer, and may not be suitable for white-collar workers who rarely sweat. Because the salt ingested in the body is mainly excreted through the kidney, when the salt ingested is too much or the kidney changes, the excessive sodium ingested in the body cannot be excreted in time. When the concentration of sodium ion in blood increases, more water enters blood vessels, which easily leads to water and sodium retention and edema. Although you don't eat much, you look one size older than others.
If you don't sweat too much, you should stick to a low-salt diet in summer (the World Health Organization recommends that the salt intake per person per day should not exceed 6 grams), especially for patients with kidney disease.
Method 2: * * Drainage is healthier than sauna.
Speaking of drainage, the most easily associated lazy trick is to take a sauna. This passive sweating method is not suitable for hot summer, especially for frequent use. Because sauna can speed up blood circulation and eliminate moisture in the body, sweating too much during sauna is not conducive to heart health. In fact, compared with sauna, taking a warm bath and taking a rest is a healthier way to drain water.
Warm water bath can make the body sweat slightly, with simple coordination, which can not only drive away the moisture in the body, but also be a good way to relax. If you have time, you can get better detoxification and drainage effect by doing a physical SPA once a week under the physical therapy of professional teachers.
After summer, when the sweat is dry, take a bath with warm water close to body temperature, supplemented by plant essential oil with drainage function, which will help you relax faster.
Method 3: Take a proper nap to make your body lighter.
Experts believe that a good sleep can also make our bodies lighter. Because overwork is easy to consume qi and blood, it will further aggravate the stagnation of water and dampness. In summer, the days are long and the nights are short. Many busy professionals often have insufficient sleep time at night, so they should pay special attention.
For white-collar workers, a proper nap can supplement the lack of sleep at night, relax the brain and body system, and greatly improve the work efficiency in the afternoon. Use the company lounge, take a nap on the sofa, or go to a nearby beauty salon for facial sleep, even if it's just a nap at your desk. For those women who cannot have a good lunch break at noon due to objective conditions, it is more important to ensure adequate night sleep.
