● Spend the summer.
3. Dr. Zong Wenhui said that if you want to spend the summer safely, you need to be proud of three "unsuitable":
1 Drink should not be used instead of boiled water. Soft drinks, fruit juice, cola and other drinks contain more saccharin and electrolyte, which will have adverse stimulation to the stomach and affect digestion and appetite. If you drink too much, it will increase the burden on the kidneys and affect the renal function, so drink less drinks and drink more water. In summer, the weather is very hot, sweat glands on the body surface are open, and body temperature is regulated by sweating. Sweating is normal, but excessive sweating will damage the normal body and seriously lead to dehydration. The simplest treatment is to drink proper sugar and salt water to replenish electrolytes in the body.
It is not advisable to sleep on the masonry floor. In summer, some people like to sleep on the brick floor or terrazzo floor, which is called "ground air conditioning". However, due to the cold and damp masonry, strong air permeability and moisture accumulation, it is easy to make people suffer from cold and moisture, and induce arthritis, sciatica and other diseases.
3 Not suitable for "quick cooling". In hot summer, people often like to take a cold bath or stand under air conditioner and electric fan to "cool down quickly" to eliminate sweat and heat as soon as possible. However, because people absorb a lot of heat in the sun, such as "rapid cooling", the pores of the whole body will close quickly, and the heat cannot be emitted, staying in the body and causing high fever. At the same time, it will also cause insufficient blood supply due to the rapid contraction of cerebral capillaries, which will make people dizzy and may even cause shock. So the best way is to let it sweat first, take away a lot of heat, and then take cooling measures.
Try to use more heat to dissipate heat. In summer, the temperature is close to the human body temperature, and the main way of human body heat dissipation is sweat evaporation, so using heat to dissipate heat is a better health care method. For example, take a hot towel, take a hot bath, wash your feet with hot water and drink hot tea. Improving body temperature regulation function and enhancing heat adaptability can not only enhance physical fitness, but also effectively prevent heat diseases such as heatstroke.
● Eat more melons and cool fruits and vegetables.
The season has entered early summer, and the vegetables and fruits on the market are more and more abundant. What vegetables and fruits to eat in summer is good for your health?
1 Eat more melons. Watermelon is a natural white tiger soup in summer, which consists of gypsum, Anemarrhena asphodeloides, japonica rice and licorice. Efficacy: clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, quenching thirst and diuresis. Watermelon is cool, sweet and cold, and it will not be irritating when eaten, and it is rich in potassium salt, which can make up for the loss of potassium salt in the body. Indications: summer heat impairs body fluid, upset and thirsty, dysuria, and oral ulcer. In addition to the above functions, watermelon peel can also treat hypertension, diabetes, nephritis edema, cystitis and sore throat. But be careful not to put the watermelon in the refrigerator for more than 3 hours. Winter melon is a treasure. Wax gourd can cure thirst and relieve fish and alcoholism. Wax gourd peel and wax gourd are commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, which have the effects of diuresis, detumescence, clearing heat and drying dampness. It has a good curative effect on beriberi, diarrhea due to summer-heat dampness, urticaria, dysuria, damp-heat leukorrhagia, lung abscess, intestinal abscess and gonorrhea.
The water in vegetables is natural, clean, nutritious and bioactive water filtered by multi-layer biofilm. A person eats 500 grams of melons and vegetables every day, which is equivalent to drinking 450 ml of high-quality water. Melons and vegetables have the effect of lowering blood pressure.
2 cool vegetables. The poison of summer-heat and dampness will affect human health. Eating some cool vegetables is conducive to promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, relieving summer heat, clearing away heat and purging fire, expelling toxin and relaxing bowels. For example, bitter gourd, cucumber and tomato can clear away heat and toxic materials, calm the liver and remove fire, while eggplant, celery, lettuce and asparagus are all cool vegetables.
Disinfect vegetables. Summer is a season of frequent diseases, especially intestinal diseases. Eating more "sterilized" vegetables such as garlic, onions, green onions and leeks can prevent diseases.

"Righteousness exists inside, and evil cannot be done" refers to the human body's resistance to diseases. The key to health is to improve immunity, because the normal function of viscera is fully supported by yang. Yang is sufficient, and all diseases are not born. At this time, the human body's repair ability will exceed the efficacy of any tonic. Usually, everyone can take "drying the back to replenish the yang".
