How to keep fit in summer? See what Chinese medicine says.
How to keep fit in summer? I believe everyone will have questions about this. In fact, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, health preservation is nothing more than paying attention to these points. Let's study together.
Sleep late and get up early.
In summer, our sleep should be adjusted. Usually, you can go to bed late and get up early to adapt to the environment where yang is flourishing and yin is declining, and improve your health. In addition, you can take a nap for about 30 minutes at noon to improve the lack of sleep. Generally speaking, it is recommended that you get up around 1 1 and get up between 6 and 7 o'clock, which is a more suitable choice. Sleeping late or staying in bed too much will have an impact on your health.
2 Eat less spicy food and eat more light and digestible food.
In summer, we often prefer to eat spicy and exciting foods such as barbecue or lobster, but remind everyone that in summer, our gastrointestinal digestive function becomes worse, so these foods will stimulate the stomach, increase the burden on the stomach and lead to indigestion. After a long time, our spleen and stomach function will be damaged, so we should eat more light food, try chrysanthemum tea, mung bean soup, herbal tea, etc., to get rid of internal heat and nourish the spleen and stomach.
(3) The weather is hot, and you also need to exercise.
In hot summer, many people are used to staying in air-conditioned rooms all day. In fact, it is recommended to exercise properly in summer, and you can choose to exercise in the morning or at night when the weather is cooler. In addition, pay attention to the exercise venue, such as the river or the park, but don't exercise too hard, so as not to destroy the balance of yin and yang in the body.
1) Morning exercises: Many people think of doing morning exercises when they get up in the morning. They think the air at this time is better and suitable for exercise. This is actually a wrong idea. Morning is not a good time for exercise. At this time, the air quality is poor, and people who exercise had better exercise after 6 o'clock.
2) Appropriate exercise methods: Swimming and yoga are actually good exercise methods, which can improve our cardiovascular health, stimulate our skin parts, enhance our body immunity, and yoga can also regulate our physical and mental functions.
(4) Health preservation is the most important, and nourishing the heart is a must.
Chinese medicine believes that the key point of summer health care is actually to pay attention to nourishing the heart. After the summer, it is the time when the sun is shining. At this time, make sure that you are in a good mood, and don't suppress your negative situation, so as not to destroy your mood, leave illness, and finally get sick in winter.
How to cultivate the mind? I suggest you adjust your mood properly at ordinary times, and at the same time you can learn to listen to music or cultivate your own mood hobbies.
Of course, when keeping in good health in summer, we should not only pay attention to these things that promote health, but also pay attention to some things that are not suitable for doing, so as not to have the due effect and affect our health. Let's get to know each other.
