There is a cloud in Su Wen's Four Qi Tunes the Spirit: "Yang is nourished in spring and summer, and Yin is nourished in autumn and winter to follow its roots, so it rises and falls with everything at the door of growth." If it is contrary to its extreme, it will break its roots and destroy its truth. " It means that spring and summer is the time when the temperature in nature rises and the yang is getting stronger. Pay attention to nourishing yin and nourishing yang in spring and summer health preservation.
Moreover, in midsummer, the yang in the human body will gradually decline after reaching the peak of exuberance. If we don't pay attention to maintenance, we will suffer from various diseases in this life because of the lack of yang in autumn and winter. The key to raising yang in summer is not to be greedy, especially to control the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, not to adjust the air conditioner too low, and to keep the indoor temperature at around 27℃.

Summer is hot and dry, and people's emotions are prone to fluctuations and irritability.

Therefore, ensuring sleep in summer is an important prerequisite for good health. Adults can't sleep less than 7 hours a day, and it is best to have a nap or rest time of about half an hour at noon.
Reasonable diet
In the hot and humid summer, many people have symptoms such as loss of appetite and gastrointestinal discomfort, and their diet is also very sloppy, which is not conducive to their health.
