A long summer. In my memory, Lu You wrote a poem dedicated to Chang Xia: "The lakes and mountains are the best place for Weng's family, with the shade of the locust tree and the sloping fields. When the water is full, sometimes herons can be seen. The grass is deep and frogs are everywhere. " Among them, the victory lies in the shade, full of water and deep grass. Talking about numbers, we can write the ordinary appearance from spring to summer, which is so magnanimous and brilliant, just like the new summer.

Since the long summer, health preservation is to "nourish the heart."

Starting from the long summer, the six solar terms of Xiaoman, Mangzhong, Summer Solstice, Xiaoshu and Dashu are arranged in turn. The weather is getting hotter, the plants are flourishing, and everything related to "heat" has arrived. Summer is "fire", the heart. In summer, many people will be agitated. Therefore, nourishing the heart is the key to the long summer solar terms. As the saying goes, "Chang Xia is kind-hearted, healthy and relaxed", which means that he needs to adjust his work and rest to adapt to natural changes.

Who is the most bitter food? The first is bitter gourd. In fact, many dark green vegetables have "bitter taste", such as celery, oil wheat vegetables, lettuce, broccoli, bitter vegetables and so on. , each has its own function, which is conducive to nourishing the heart and suitable for summer consumption. For example, bitter gourd tastes bitter and slightly cold, which can stimulate appetite, help digestion, dispel heat evil and relieve fatigue; Lettuce can clear away heat and toxic materials, lose weight and keep fit, strengthen stomach and promote digestion; Bitter vegetables clear heat and detoxify, cool blood and stop bleeding; Of course, there are mung beans, peas, mung beans and so on. , can clear away heat and detoxify. In summer, porridge and soup can be cooked, or with the help of lotus plumule and lily, it has the effects of moistening lung and relieving cough, clearing heart and calming nerves, and relieving summer heat and worries.

Entering Xia Hou, the days are long, the nights are short, and the yang is full of yin deficiency, so people will "go to bed late and get up early" in work and rest and winter. In this season, it is particularly important to have a good "afternoon nap". Taking a nap for 20-30 minutes every afternoon can relieve the pressure of work and study, save energy and ease the heart fire. If there is no condition for lunch break, closing one's eyes can also play a role in nourishing the heart, thus improving the work efficiency in the afternoon.

In the long summer, the viscera of the human body are gradually weakened by liver qi, and the heart qi is gradually vigorous. It is easy to get angry and lose appetite at this time. Diet should be light, eat less fat, sweet, greasy and spicy, eat more bean products, vegetables and lean meat, supplement nutrition and strengthen the heart.

Huangdi Neijing says that nourishing yin in autumn and winter, nourishing yang in spring and summer, and long summer is a good opportunity to nourish yang. At this time, clothes should not be too exposed, and people should not be greedy in their daily lives. Don't stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time because you are afraid of heat, do more outdoor sports and sweat more, which can avoid qi stagnation and blood stasis in summer and lay a hidden danger for health care in autumn and winter.

Ingredients: 2 grams of lotus plumule and 2 grams of stevia rebaudiana leaves. The method is super simple. Soak lotus plumule and stevia rebaudiana leaves in boiling water for one day. Add lemon and mint to make it taste better.

Lotus plumule: It is the turquoise germ in the center of lotus seed. It tastes bitter and has the effects of clearing away heat, solidifying essence, calming the nerves and strengthening the heart. Lotus plumule can be added when soaking in water in summer, which has a very good effect on irritability, hypertension and palpitation and insomnia.

Stevia leaf: slightly sweet, which can relieve the bitter cold, constipation and flatulence of lotus plumule. Stevia leaves can be used to soak in water.

These two things together can soothe the nerves, preserve health and nourish the heart.

After a long summer, personality will change. Drink the spring tea given by God slowly. Birds are singing in the stream, the trees are swaying, the days are long and the nights are short, and the rain is thundering. If you are unhappy, you have no conscience ~ ~

Summer is here, be sure to be happy!
