1. Sleep articles-go to bed late and get up early, and take a nap to catch up on sleep.
Neijing, an ancient Chinese medicine book, mentioned three treasures of human body, namely "essence, qi and spirit". Exquisite feet are full of qi, and qi is full of essence. On the contrary, weak qi hurts the spirit and greatly affects the mood. People who often stay up late for a long time with their work and rest upside down are often unstable, because from 1 1 am to 1 am, it is the time when the qi and blood of the zang-fu organs run, and at this time, the qi and blood return to the liver to store essence. If you don't sleep during this time, it is equivalent to forcing your liver to continue to decompose, and the essence can't be stored. Liver full of yin deficiency, yin and yang disharmony. In the long run, the liver fire rises and it is easy to be tired and weak. Therefore, we should conform to the seasonal characteristics of long days and short nights, go to bed late and get up early appropriately, and don't always stay up late. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure a nap, which usually takes half an hour to 1 hour. For office workers, if they can't take a nap, they can also close their eyes for 30 to 50 minutes. Good sleep quality is very important to relieve the "bitter summer".
2. diet-food should be supplemented, and bitter summer is not bitter.
Eat refreshing food in summer, and cook as lightly as possible to avoid frying and frying. Sweets are high in calories, so eat less. Eating too many cold drinks will hurt the spleen and stomach. Therefore, the diet should be light, avoid greed and coldness, and "eat bitter" appropriately. Bitter food has the functions of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, eliminating dampness and strengthening yin. Eating some bitter food, such as bitter gourd, lotus seeds, lettuce, etc., is of great benefit to the human body. In addition, mung beans, lotus seeds, lotus leaves, reed roots, lentils and other products that clear the heart and dispel summer heat can be added to boiled porridge. After cooling, you can strengthen the spleen and stomach, dispel summer heat, and drink chrysanthemum tea and honeysuckle tea. It should be noted that people with cold stomach should drink less. In short, the summer diet should be less meaty and more vegetarian, and more foods rich in vitamin inorganic salts such as fruits and vegetables should be eaten, especially the "Cucurbitaceae" in fruits and vegetables, such as cucumber, wax gourd, watermelon and cantaloupe.
3. Exercise-moderate exercise, sooner or later.
Try to engage in moderate exercise, such as Tai Chi, Qigong, Yuanji Dance or Yoga. Pilates is a good meditation practice. Choose moderate exercise and keep gentle and leisurely breathing. Only tiny blood vessels or meridians in the body can get enough nutrition. Too intense exercise leads to a lot of sweating, which is very costly. Losing a lot of body fluids is equivalent to losing a lot of physical strength, and emotions are easily excited. It is suggested that in the morning or evening when the temperature is relatively cool, you should go to parks, forests and other places with fresh air for proper exercise. Do not pursue sweating. When exercising, be sure to keep enough water. If you sweat too much, you can drink some light sugar salt boiled water or mung bean salt soup properly, avoid drinking a lot of iced drinks, and don't punch in the shower with cold water immediately, otherwise it will cause many diseases.
In addition, when you are upset and in a bad mood, you can take a walk and listen to light music to alleviate negative emotions. Keeping a quiet and peaceful mind and smiling often will not only help to improve the function of blood vessels, but also coordinate the various organs of the human body and spend the hot summer healthily.
