Three major events in summer: the first: nourishing the stomach in the morning.
Prime time: 7: 00 to 9: 00
Abdominal pain has become a modern thing now? Home cooking? .
According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, the incidence of stomach diseases in the population is as high as 80%, and it is increasing at the rate of 17.43% every year.
As the saying goes, stomach trouble? Three points rely on governance, seven points rely on support? .
Even people who don't have stomach problems should pay special attention to the maintenance of the stomach and intestines in their lives. Preventing problems before they happen can make you healthy and less sick!
Early stomach nourishing: two key time points
From 7 am to 9 am, it is the season of stomach meridian.
During this period, qi and blood flow through the stomach meridian, so the stomach must start working in an orderly way;
So eat well in the morning, otherwise it will be easy to lack blood and stomach trouble.
Here, we need to pay attention to two time points:
1. A cup of warm water at 7 am protects the stomach.
Drinking a cup of warm water around 7 o'clock can moisten the mouth, esophagus and gastric mucosa, wash away mucus and bile attached to the mucosa, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and prepare for meals.
You can also replenish the water lost by the body, but you can't drink too much water, about 100 ml, so as not to dilute gastric acid and affect digestion.
It is also not advisable to drink cold water, so as not to stimulate the stomach.
2. Eat breakfast at 7: 30 in the morning and nourish your stomach.
Studies have shown that the probability of frequent skipping breakfast leading to gastropathy and duodenal ulcer is as high as 36%.
It is also easy to cause hypoglycemia and memory loss, and increase the risk of gallstones.
A good breakfast should include cereal, milk, meat, bean products, fruits and vegetables.
In addition, spicy food should not be eaten for breakfast, so as not to damage the gastric mucosa on an empty stomach.
The second important thing: nourishing the heart at noon.
Prime time: 1 1 to 13.
Pay attention to TCM health care? Spring, summer and sunshine? Summer corresponds to five elements? Heart? Therefore, keeping in good health in summer focuses on nourishing the heart.
Summer is often a period of high incidence of cardiovascular diseases. For middle-aged and elderly people, how to maintain the heart in high temperature season is particularly important.
Nourishing the heart in the afternoon: do two things well
1 1 o'clock to 13 o'clock (afternoon 1 o'clock), that is, at noon, when the heart meridian is in season, it is the most critical moment to nourish the heart in a day.
1. Stimulating pericardium meridian: protecting the heart
The human body has two meridians related to the heart, namely the heart meridian and the pericardium meridian.
The heart governs the gods, and the heart meridian is related to the mind; Heart governing blood vessels is mainly related to pericardium meridian.
About half an hour after a meal, if the pericardium meridian is properly stimulated, it can increase the blood supply to the heart and effectively protect the heart.
This method is not only suitable for the elderly with heart disease, but also a good health care coup for all the elderly.
Method:
Massage with one hand along the path of the contralateral pericardium meridian, from the tip of the middle finger all the way up, focusing on Neiguan and Jiquan.
If you feel that massage is troublesome, you can also pat along the pericardium meridian and get the same effect.
2. Nap: Protect the cardiovascular system and prevent heart disease.
Chinese medicine believes that the heart is the master of the five internal organs.
Taking a nap is not only beneficial to sleep, but also can improve coronary blood supply, enhance physical strength and eliminate fatigue.
Some data show that taking a nap can also greatly reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease, angina pectoris and myocardial infarction.
Even if you can't sleep, closing your eyes is good for your body and mind.
The third important thing: keep a hundred pulses at night.
Prime time: 2 1 to 23: 00.
Many people will spend their evening time exercising or entertaining, but from 2 1 to 23: 00 (that is, from 9: 00 pm to 1 1), they should calm down.
Because this time is the season of triple energizer meridians, it reaches the internal organs of the body, so it is also a good time to increase vitality and nourish the pulse.
