"The hotter the weather, the less you can drink cold drinks?" Are these elders familiar with the words cocoon in your ear?

As we all know, the dog days are the hottest period in a year. In this hot weather, the body can't bear the high temperature, and it is easy to cause some diseases, such as heatstroke. Many elders have their own health tips on how to prevent heatstroke and relieve summer heat, and how to recuperate their bodies in dog days.

The concept of modern people is: "Is it hot? Turn on the air conditioner! How cool. " As long as the temperature warms up slightly, people can't wait to change into summer clothes. How can they be cool? They always turn on the air conditioner to eat cold drinks, and they don't care about their stomach and body conditioning.

This has made many young people accustomed to all kinds of illnesses in the dog days. Sister Miao has to remind everyone: Please take good care of yourself in the dog days of the year! No matter how good the body is, it will be suddenly hit hard by minor faults that you usually don't pay attention to, and then there will be no "regret medicine" to eat!

The weather is the hottest and the diseases are the most frequent in dog days. Luo Weifang, director of internal medicine of China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, teaches you how to keep in good health in dog days.

Don't be greedy for cold: blowing air conditioning for a long time will affect the body's ability to adjust. It is suggested to turn on the air conditioner less or control the temperature at 26℃ in dog days. In addition, eating too much cold food or taking a cold bath in the dog days will also lead to the invasion of wind, cold and dampness.

Appetizing diet: It is normal to lose appetite in dog days. Experts point out that eating bitter gourd and bitter vegetables in dog days is very healthy. Due to excessive sweating, you should also eat more foods such as yam and lotus root that benefit qi and nourish yin.

Eliminating dampness: It is hot and humid in dog days, and dampness invades the body. At this time, massage Zusanli point or foot bath, eat some foods such as red beans and mung beans to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, which can improve symptoms.

Low-key exercise: Taiji swimming, fishing and moderate exercise can be carried out in dog days, preferably in the morning or evening.

Go to bed late, get up early and take a nap: in summer, it is necessary to conform to the law of long days and short nights. It is best to get up at six or seven in the morning, have the habit of taking a nap, and go to bed before 1 1 at night.

Sit quietly to dispel worries: Emotions are easily influenced by the environment, especially when it is hot and humid in the dog days. At this time, sitting quietly can relieve annoyance, nourish the heart and soothe the nerves, and cooperate with small movements to promote blood circulation and dredge collaterals.

Avoid big mouth irrigation: the temperature is high in dog days, and the water loss rate of human body is accelerated. Large mouth irrigation can make blood dilute rapidly and increase blood volume, which is not good for the heart, especially for patients with coronary heart disease, which may lead to chest tightness, shortness of breath and even myocardial infarction. It is recommended to drink a small amount of water several times in dog days, and keep it at 100 to one hundred and fifty milliliters each time.

Avoid blowing air conditioning directly: Blowing air conditioning on the cervical spine will cause local lesions or inflammation, leading to discomfort such as cervical spasm and back pain. It is suggested that the air conditioning temperature should not be lower than 25℃, and direct air conditioning blowing or shawl use should be avoided.

Avoid cold drinks: Many people like to eat cold food to cool down in the dog days. People with good health may be fine, but for people with weak stomach, eating too much cold food will stimulate the stomach and cause gastroenteritis, so experts suggest eating less cold food in dog days.

Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid does not prevent heatstroke.

Before confirming the types of diseases in summer, blindly taking Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid is likely to aggravate the condition.

White clothes are not sun-proof.

It is generally believed that white clothes do not absorb heat, so they have a sunscreen effect. But wearing white clothes, exposed to the sun for a long time, is easy to refract light to the face, causing skin allergies, especially white clothes containing fluorescent agents. Experts suggest that loose red clothes that penetrate air and absorb water in dog days are the most suitable.

You can't "heat with heat" in dog days, it depends on the situation.

It seems to be a habit to use dog stickers to strengthen yang in dog days, but dog stickers are only suitable for diseases that are prone to occur in winter, such as asthma and allergic rhinitis. In addition, take a hot bath, nourish and keep healthy. Dog days are likely to aggravate the heat in the body.

Mung beans actually rely on mung bean skin to cool off the heat.

In dog days, many people will eat mung bean porridge to cool off the heat, but it is mung bean skin that really has the effect of heatstroke prevention, so when cooking mung beans, you can cool off the heat by boiling water and drinking the water on it.
