Traditional medicine believes that summer heat leads to hyperactivity of yang and exuberance of qi; Excessive qi will hurt yin. "Qi" in TCM refers to the functional activities and metabolism of the human body. These life activities are catalyzed by countless "enzymes", and the activity of enzymes is enhanced at high temperature, which leads to human functional failure and life-threatening. Therefore, people and warm-blooded animals have a special skill, that is, they can automatically adjust their body temperature to keep it within a certain range by generating heat and dissipating heat. Due to the high ambient temperature in summer, it is difficult for the human body to dissipate heat. If it loses its ability to regulate body temperature, it will cause "heatstroke" and the consequences will be serious. So, what is Yin? How to raise it? To nourish yin, it is necessary to protect body fluid and body fluid. Yang is an invisible function in the human body, while Yin is a visible liquid in the human body. The body fluid mentioned here is the body fluid (water) of human body, accounting for 60%-70% of body weight. The younger you are, the more water you have. High temperature is the easiest way to lose body fluids. When it is hot, hot and sweaty, thousands of milliliters of liquid will be lost, and people will be seriously dehydrated. Therefore, nourishing body fluid and yin is fundamental. How to protect it? It can be taken orally, and the habit of drinking tea is very good. Chrysanthemum tea and astragalus tea have the functions of clearing the brain, improving eyesight, removing troubles and relieving summer heat. In fact, eating more watermelon is the best drink. Shandong people call it "drinking" watermelon, which makes sense because watermelon is 95% water. Chinese medicine regards watermelon as "natural white tiger soup", which has the functions of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, protecting liver and diuresis, and supplementing electrolytes; Without diabetes, drinking fresh sugarcane juice also has the effect of nourishing yin; Cultivate the habit of drinking cold drinks properly, but don't drink soft drinks with additives. Cold boiled water is the best, and ice cubes can be added appropriately to cool off the heat. If there are signs of heatstroke, drinking a glass of ice water has an immediate effect. Of course, intravenous fluid replacement should be carried out as soon as possible during heatstroke, which is the most direct way to replenish body fluids and has better effect. Nourishing yin means turning off the fire. Food is light in summer, and proper dieting means nourishing yin and reducing fire. Traditionally, beef and mutton are not eaten in May, June and July. This is the wisdom that the diet handed down by our ancestors should conform to the four seasons. The best heatstroke prevention diet should be to eat more lettuce, cucumber, bitter gourd, loofah and wild vegetables with low sugar content. Eat less greasy boiled, fried, fried vegetables, and eat more light soups, such as traditional bean curd soup, bean sprout soup, loofah soup, laver soup, pea cucumber soup, etc. It not only supplements water, salt and nutrition, but also has the function of diuresis and elimination of waste toxins; In particular, the importance of salt supplementation should be emphasized here. When you sweat too much, you will also lose a lot of salt. Western medicine calls it "hypotonic dehydration", which can lead to "low salt syndrome", and patients will be further weak, indifferent, without desire, blood pressure drop, weak heartbeat and even life-threatening. Nourishing yin needs to make it cool. In midsummer, we must create a cool environment to protect the "yin" of the human body in order to maintain the strength of yin and yang. How to create a shadow? Ancient and modern times are nothing more than refrigeration, summer refrigeration and summer refrigeration. Refrigeration is probably the specialty of modern people. When the compressor rotates, the food in the freezer and refrigerator freezes. The temperature in halls and houses has dropped. There are many ways to use electrical appliances, not to see if you can use them, but to see if you have the conditions and are willing to spend money on them. To enjoy the cool in summer is to accept and enjoy the cool and go to a cool and ventilated place to cool off; There are many ways to enjoy the cool: go to deep forests, peaks and caves to enjoy the cool, and there is a full difference of 10 between Mount Tai and Lushan. Visit underground shopping malls, subways, underwater world and other "sightseeing and cooling"; Old people get together, choose a quiet lakeside Liu Xia, make a pot of raw tea, talk about the land, laugh and relax, forget the summer heat, which can be described as "entertainment and coolness"; There is really nowhere to go. I lay on the mat, closed my eyes and rested, not thinking about boring things. "Being calm and naturally cool" is the real "psychological cool". The best way to cool down is to swim with bath water. Swimming can not only take away excess heat in the body, but also reduce the temperature and cool off the heat. It can also consume excess nutrients, reduce blood lipid and blood sugar, reduce fat storage, and have the function of strengthening the body. If there are no conditions, taking a warm bath at home or wiping your body with warm water will often have the effect of removing heat and cooling down. Why not take a cold bath? If there is no habit of taking a cold bath, the elderly should not take a cold bath, which will stimulate the contraction of blood vessels in the skin, but will affect heat dissipation, and even lead to an increase in blood pressure and accidents. Therefore, in the hot summer, people should learn to nourish yin and protect body fluid, and maintain health in summer. Moreover, we should take measures step by step from early, from the turn of spring and summer, so that the body can have a gradual adaptation process. Yin is persistent, while Yang is difficult to flourish. Even if the environment is like fire, the body is still in balance of Yin and Yang, the viscera is harmonious, the qi and blood are harmonious, and the facial expression is vigorous and powerful. People naturally have a healthy diet, health preservation and travel health preservation. The answer is edited by the team. o(∩_∩)o hopes to help you and adopt me. Q: Why didn't you leave your name?
