Because of the hot weather in summer, it is easy to be irritable. At this time, mental health care can not be ignored. Maintaining a peaceful mind and a happy mood is conducive to reducing the excitability of sympathetic nerves, slowing down metabolism and relieving the feeling of dryness and heat. When you are depressed and upset, you may wish to listen to soothing music, and the interior decoration should be mainly light-colored to maintain a good mood.
Adequate sleep is conducive to peace of mind. Therefore, in summer, we should go to bed late and get up early to adapt to the changes of yang excess and yin deficiency in nature, and at the same time, taking a nap to supplement lack of sleep can also effectively prevent the occurrence of heart diseases such as coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction. Usually take a nap after lunch 15~30 minutes. Because sitting and lying is not conducive to eliminating fatigue, it is appropriate to take a nap in prone position. The nap time should not be too long (one hour to one and a half hours is appropriate), and alcohol, coffee and strong tea should not be drunk before going to bed.
With the recent hot weather, summer is often a season of emotional irritability, and many people will have some minor symptoms such as anorexia and insomnia in summer, so we should pay special attention to our health in summer. Here, I will introduce some common sense of summer life to you, hoping to help you.
The first is diet. Summer is the most irregular season for many people to eat, either anorexia or overeating, and it is easy to eat more cold food, which is not conducive to health. In fact, every hot season, many people have poor appetite, decreased digestive function, and are prone to fatigue, gastrointestinal discomfort and other symptoms, and some also suffer from gastrointestinal diseases. Therefore, in the hot season, we must pay attention to diet regulation and take corresponding countermeasures.
1, eat something bitter. Alkaloids contained in bitter food have pharmacological effects such as relieving summer heat, promoting blood circulation and relaxing blood vessels. Eating bitter foods such as bitter gourd, bitter vegetables, beer, tea, coffee and cocoa in hot weather can not only clear the heart and relieve annoyance, but also stimulate appetite, strengthen the spleen and benefit the stomach.
2. Add salt and vitamins. Nutritionists suggest that it is best to supplement vitamin B 1 and B22mg, vitamin C 50mg 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 health. You can also eat more foods rich in the above nutrients, such as watermelon, cucumber, tomato, beans and their products, animal liver and kidney, shrimp skin and so on. And you can drink some juice.
Don't eat too much cold drinks and beverages. When the climate is hot, eating some cold drinks or drinks properly can play a certain role in dispelling summer heat and cooling down. Ice cream, ice bricks, etc. Made of milk, egg powder, sugar, etc. You can't eat too much. Overeating will reduce the gastrointestinal temperature, cause irregular contraction, and induce abdominal pain, diarrhea and other diseases. There are many kinds of drinks, most of which have low nutritional value. Might as well drink less. Drinking more will damage the spleen and stomach, affect appetite, and even lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction.
4. Don't forget to supplement potassium. 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 strawberries, apricots, lychees, peaches, plums and other fruits appropriately. Vegetables such as green vegetables, green onions, celery and edamame 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.
5. Pay attention to food hygiene. It is best to cook and eat now, and wash and disinfect raw fruits and vegetables. When making cold salad, add garlic paste and vinegar, which can not only flavor, but also sterilize and stimulate appetite. Diet should not be too greedy to prevent pathogenic microorganisms from taking advantage of it.
6. It will clear up every day in summer. In hot weather, the principle is to strengthen the spleen, dispel summer heat and eliminate dampness. Should choose light nourishing food, such as duck, crucian carp, shrimp, lean meat, edible fungi (mushrooms, Pleurotus ostreatus, tremella, etc. ), barley and so on. In addition, you can also eat some mung bean porridge, flat bean porridge, lotus leaf porridge, mint porridge and other "summer medicine porridge", which has a certain effect of dispelling summer heat and promoting fluid production.
