Chinese medicine believes that "summer qi and heart qi are connected", and it is necessary to pay attention to going to bed early and getting up early in the long summer. You can do a few small moves before getting up, which is conducive to strengthening your physique and maintaining your heart. Then, the following is the long summer disease prevention and health care method I shared. Welcome to read and browse.
1, to prevent colds
A cold in summer is commonly called "hot cold". It is very hot in summer. In order to dissipate the heat energy in the body, the pores of human epidermal blood vessels and sweat glands expand and sweat a lot. It is easy to catch cold and catch a cold after sleeping. Generally, patients with mild cold have no fever and systemic symptoms, or only low fever, headache, general malaise and other symptoms; Severe patients often have high fever, which persists after sweating, accompanied by headache, heaviness, listlessness, dry mouth but unwilling to drink water, Huang Chi in urine, yellow and greasy tongue coating, and some patients may have vomiting or diarrhea.
If you have a cold, you should take some cold medicine properly when your illness is mild, and you will usually recover in two or three days. Severe summer heat and cold can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. To prevent colds, it is mainly to exercise, enhance the body's disease resistance and adapt the body to the variability of summer. In the morning and evening, we should increase or decrease clothes in time with the weather changes.
2. Beware of headaches
High temperature, sultry weather, thunderstorms, strong winds and sudden changes in weather in summer often induce or aggravate headaches. In addition, lack of sleep, emotional excitement and mental fatigue can all induce headaches. To deal with summer headache, we should not rely too much on drugs. We can treat conservatively by adjusting diet, supplementing water, cooling off summer heat, controlling cold food, adjusting mood and paying attention to rest.
3, beware of skin diseases
Warm weather in summer is conducive to the reproduction and growth of various fungi and bacteria. In addition, people in summer are prone to sweating and their skin is moist. If it is not wiped and kept dry in time, fungi will invade our skin and cause beriberi. Contact with people or animals suffering from tinea and public appliances can lead to infection. The most common athlete's foot is athlete's foot, which is what we call "Hong Kong foot". People who like to wear leather shoes are prone to beriberi, because leather shoes are airtight and the humidity and temperature of their feet increase. Patients with beriberi are very uncomfortable in summer, because besides redness, erosion and blisters between toes, they also itch and smell. In addition, many young and middle-aged men are easily infected with tinea corporis and tinea versicolor (sweat spots) in summer, which has a great relationship with their perspiration. Due to work reasons, many people do not wash in time after sweating, and fungi multiply on the skin, forming papules, blisters, scales and so on. , thus damaging the skin.
Keeping the skin clean and dry is the basic requirement for preventing and treating tinea. It is an important measure to prevent tinea infection to separate daily utensils as much as possible. Pay attention to personal hygiene, keep your skin dry, and use talcum powder in summer; Take a bath frequently and change your underwear. Men's socks with leather shoes must be made of cotton, which is convenient for sweat absorption and ventilation. Don't use shoes, socks and towels; Try to avoid walking barefoot in swimming pools, gyms and other places.
4, be careful of spleen and stomach damage
Many people are prone to various gastrointestinal problems in summer. On the one hand, after summer, human appetite naturally deteriorates, and digestive function is affected by the weather. On the other hand, because people are greedy for cold food, it stimulates the stomach. After the stomach is stimulated by intense low temperature, the blood vessels suddenly contract and the blood flow decreases, which affects the secretion of digestive juice in the gastrointestinal tract and leads to physiological dysfunction. Many old people, children and people with digestive dysfunction often have abdominal pain and gastritis in summer.
From the way of health preservation, it is best to eat more thin food, porridge and soup in the long summer, which can not only quench thirst, relieve summer heat, but also nourish the body. In addition, fresh vegetables and fruits can supplement enough vitamins, water and inorganic salts. Among the foods, the foods for clearing heat and promoting diuresis are watermelon, bitter gourd, peach, ebony, strawberry, tomato, cucumber and mung bean. , have a certain summer effect. It is best not to eat the food taken out of the refrigerator in a hurry, but to eat it at room temperature for a period of time, and not to eat too much at a time, especially for the elderly, children and people with chronic gastritis and indigestion.
Step 5 prevent bacillary dysentery
Bacillary dysentery is the most common intestinal infectious disease caused by Shigella dysenteriae, which is not only related to the reproduction of flies, but also related to the gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by the suitable summer climate and people's preference for cold food in hot weather.
The key to control bacillary dysentery is early detection and treatment. Secondly, do a good job in environmental hygiene, food hygiene and personal hygiene, strengthen diet and water source management, eliminate flies, do not eat cold vegetables, unclean fruits and vegetables, do not eat spoiled or stale food, and form the habit of washing hands before and after meals.
Precautions for long summer diet:
Eat bitter food properly
As the saying goes, happiness comes from "bitterness", and alkaloids contained in bitter food have pharmacological effects such as relieving summer heat, promoting blood circulation and relaxing blood vessels. Eating some bitter food in hot weather can not only clear the heart, relieve annoyance and refresh the mind, but also stimulate the appetite, strengthen the spleen and benefit the stomach. Bitter foods such as bitter gourd, bitter vegetables, tea and coffee can also be selected as appropriate. It should be noted that eating bitter food should not be excessive, otherwise it may cause nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.
Drink some cold drinks properly.
Due to the influence of high temperature, the human body will produce a series of physiological reactions, leading to listlessness and loss of appetite. At this time, if you can arrange your diet reasonably and eat some cold drinks properly, you can not only quench your thirst, but also help digestion, with balanced nutrition and good health. You shouldn't eat too much cold drinks and drinks. Cold food such as ice cream and ice brick is made of milk, egg powder, sugar and other materials, so 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, and drinking too much will affect appetite, seriously damage the spleen and stomach or lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction.
Pay attention to supplement salt and vitamins.
In summer, people sweat more and lose more sodium chloride, so we should pay attention to supplementing salt while replenishing water. Drink some salty boiled water every day to keep the acid-base balance and osmotic pressure in the body relatively stable. Nutritionists also suggest that it is best to supplement vitamin B 1, vitamin B2 2 mg 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 human health. Therefore, we should eat more foods rich in the above nutrients in summer, such as watermelon, cucumber, tomato, beans and their products, animal liver, shrimp skin and so on. You can also drink some juice.
Pay attention to hygiene in diet.
Food hygiene is particularly important in summer, and good food hygiene and personal hygiene habits must be developed. Don't buy spoiled food ingredients; It is best to cook and eat now; Raw fruits should be cleaned and disinfected; When cooking cold dishes, add garlic paste and vinegar, which can not only flavor, but also sterilize and stimulate appetite; Even if the weather is hot, you should not be too greedy in diet to prevent pathogenic microorganisms from taking advantage of it.
It should be light and avoid dryness and high temperature.
Diet, hot weather, the principle is tonic, spleen, summer heat, dampness. Fat, sweet and hot products should not be eaten, and light and nourishing food should be chosen, such as duck, shrimp, crucian carp, lean meat and edible fungi (mushrooms, mushrooms, Pleurotus ostreatus, tremella, etc. ) and coix seed. After reasonable cooking, it can be made into all kinds of delicious food, which can stimulate appetite, supplement nutrition, and relieve summer heat and keep fit. In addition, you can also eat mung bean porridge, bean porridge, lotus leaf porridge, mint porridge and other "antidote porridge", which has a certain effect of dispelling summer heat and promoting fluid production and tastes delicious.
In high temperature climate, protein metabolism in human body is accelerated and energy consumption is increased. Therefore, the supply of protein must be appropriately increased, and the daily intake is 100- 120g, of which more than half should be high-quality protein such as fish, lean meat, chicken, eggs, milk and bean products to meet the needs of body metabolism in summer. At the same time, in order to increase appetite, we should try our best to eat well, pay attention to the increase and change of color varieties, and choose some spicy condiments in moderation.
