1, Summer Health Tips
1, precautions for skin itching
When traveling in summer, when the skin is itchy and dry due to the sun, you can apply a small amount of ointment such as Fusong. Don't burn it with hot water or wash it with alkaline soap, so as not to irritate the skin and aggravate the symptoms.
2. Supplement salt, potassium and vitamins.
Sweating more in summer, and more potassium ions are lost with sweat, leading to hypokalemia, which will cause fatigue, dizziness, headache, loss of appetite and other symptoms. The most effective way to prevent potassium deficiency in hot weather is to eat more foods containing potassium. Fresh vegetables and fruits contain more potassium, so you can eat more strawberries, apricots, lychees, peaches and plums. Vegetables include green onions, celery, edamame, etc., and are also rich in potassium. Tea also contains more potassium. Drinking more tea in hot weather can relieve summer heat and supplement potassium, killing two birds with one stone.
In summer, the human body sweats a lot, and sodium chloride loses a lot. Pay attention to supplementing salt while replenishing water. Drink some salty boiled water every day to keep the acid-base balance and osmotic pressure in the body relatively stable.
Nutritionists also suggest that it is best to supplement vitamin B 1, vitamin B2 2 mg and calcium 1 g every day in high temperature season, which can reduce the consumption of sugar and tissue protein in the body and is beneficial to human health. Therefore, we should eat more foods rich in the above nutrients in summer, such as watermelon, cucumber, tomato, beans and their products, animal liver, shrimp skin and so on. You can also drink some juice.
3. Try to wear light clothes.
Dark clothes will absorb sunlight and make people's body temperature rise and dry; At the same time, mosquitoes have the habit of blackening, and dark colors are easy to attract mosquitoes, especially black.
4, water loss in summer, you should drink plenty of water.
Water is an indispensable part of the human body, which plays a vital role in maintaining the normal physiological functions of the human body. Organs, muscles, blood, hair, bones and teeth all contain water, and water loss will be more in summer. If you don't replenish water in time, it will seriously affect your health, make your skin dry, increase wrinkles and accelerate human aging. In addition, mineral water, herbal tea, milk and apple juice are all ideal thirst-quenching drinks.
Step 5 live in time
Go to bed late and get up early in summer, and try to take a nap at noon. Remember not to sit, lie down or sleep for a long time in the corridor, under the eaves or in the shade of the vents. Electric fans should not be used for a long time, because in summer, the outside is steaming at high temperature, sweating a lot, and the pores are wide open, which makes it easy to catch cold. If it is blown for a long time, it may cause headache, lumbar muscle strain, facial paralysis or muscle pain.
6. Keep healthy and raise yang
In hot summer, many people will suffer from air conditioning disease. People turn on the air conditioner all day long, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor can reach more than ten degrees. In addition, a large number of cold drinks with ice will definitely hurt Yang. Therefore, we should pay attention to the living environment not to be too humid, not to eat too much frozen and cold food, not to adjust the air conditioning temperature too low at night, preferably above 26 degrees, and not to spend the night in the open air and cold places.
7, diet tonic, more losses.

8. Do some heart-nourishing exercises.

For those who still insist on exercising in summer, you can choose to practice Tai Ji Chuan and Tai Ji Chuan, which are both dynamic and static, flexible and rigid, with moderate opening and closing, ups and downs, impartial figure, upright in the body, invincible in wind and evil, and in harmony with natural yin and yang.
