In the summer heat, we often choose the way of cold heating. However, from the perspective of scientific health preservation, "hot health preservation" is the most suitable for the human body to cope with the heat. In our life, there are often the following misunderstandings in dealing with heat:

Eat more cold food. Eating cold food is the most commonly used method to relieve summer heat, especially ice cream, cold drink and iced watermelon. Because the human body's yang is divergent, if you eat too much cold food, it will cause serious harm to people's yang.

The rest is too cold. On summer nights, some people sleep all night with the air conditioner on, and some people simply spread a mat on the ground and lie down directly. As we all know, in summer, when people are sleeping, their basal metabolism slows down, their thermoregulation function declines and their body resistance weakens. At this time, turning on the air conditioner and sleeping on the floor will make it easier for cold pathogens to enter the body.

Take a bath immediately after exercise. The heat and sweat after summer exercise are often unbearable, and many young people will take a bath to cool down. However, the adaptation of human body to temperature needs a process. From high temperature to low temperature, it will stimulate the human body and aggravate the dampness and coldness in the body.

It is recorded in Huangdi Neijing: "If Yang is in the sky, if Yang is in the day, if it is lost, it will be fatal." This just shows that if Yang is lost, it will do harm to our life and health. "Summer is not hot, winter is not cold, and sooner or later you will get sick."

Even in summer, if you don't pay attention to keep warm, cold pathogens will invade your body, causing chills, cold limbs, colds, diarrhea, stomachache and other symptoms.

Therefore, it is suggested to adhere to "hot health" in midsummer. Heat preservation can be paid attention to from the following aspects:

Stay away from cold evil. Don't stay in a closed air-conditioned room for a long time. Pay attention to eat less cold food, use ginger and other foods to warm the middle and dispel the cold, and brew ginger and brown sugar together before taking it.

Soak your feet with hot water. This can make qi and blood run smoothly, increase the blood flow rate and flow rate of the foot, and enhance metabolism.

Take a hot bath often. It can dilate the capillaries of the body, help the body to expel heat and toxins, and supplement the yang.

Drink hot tea to relieve summer heat. A cup of hot tea can best relieve summer heat and thirst, which is beneficial to sweat secretion by sweat glands and achieve the effect of heat dissipation.

Exercise is essential. In summer, you should "sweat instead of sweat", which will accelerate the metabolism in the body and help you sweat. Improve the function of regulating body temperature, and prevent heatstroke and some common heat diseases.

For women, women should be "spicy". Women's yang is insufficient, so they use blood. Women should pay more attention to yang, because qi can produce blood.
