1, eat less cold food and pay attention to qi.
The hot weather in the dog days is the most vigorous stage of yang, which is easy to hurt the vitality, which will lead to insufficient physical strength and vitality and decline in physical function. Pay special attention to "nourishing qi" in health care. Some people often drink ice water or iced drinks to quench their thirst on hot days. Although they were addicted at that time, it was actually very harmful to their health after being addicted at that time. This will easily lead to sharp contraction of blood vessels, hinder blood circulation, and is not conducive to heat dissipation in the body. It will be the accumulation of cold in the body, laying a curse for the spleen and stomach deficiency and cold in the future.
2. Avoid excessive exercise and pay attention to nourishing the heart.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "sweat is the liquid of the heart", excessive sweat is easy to cause sadness, and insufficient heart is easy to cause sadness. Chinese medicine also believes that "summer qi and heart qi are interlinked", so health preservation should be "nurtured". From a nutritional point of view, a large amount of sweat excreted from the body will cause the loss of some minerals, such as potassium, calcium, sodium, etc., which will easily cause heatstroke symptoms such as listlessness, limb weakness, palpitation, shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting. Therefore, in dog days, we should avoid sweating, keep our body and mind cheerful and open-minded, and prevent diseases caused by excessive heart fire.
3. Avoid too low air conditioning temperature and ensure adequate sleep.
In dog days, we often encounter the scene of "two days of ice and fire"-the temperature outside is unbearable, while we walk indoors, but the temperature of the air conditioner is very low. Although it feels particularly cold, it is most likely to cause some uncomfortable symptoms such as colds and affect the quality of work and life. Therefore, it is of great significance to reasonably adjust the temperature of the air conditioner in dog days, not too low, and to maintain adequate sleep and appropriate nap time, which will promote health and improve work and study efficiency.
