When the sun is at the "Summer Solstice Point" of 90 degrees of the yellow meridian, it is almost direct to the Tropic of Cancer, and the sun is the highest in the northern hemisphere at noon. This day is the longest day and the shortest night in the northern hemisphere. From this day on, it entered the hot season, when everything in the world grew most vigorously. Soon after the summer solstice, the hottest time of the year comes soon. People will feel tired, fever, palpitations, shortness of breath, and their appetite will drop obviously, because summer heat will hurt the spleen and stomach. Below, let's learn the main points of summer solstice health care together. Summer is a good time to nourish bones. Wang Changyong, vice president of Zhengzhou Guancheng Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and chief expert of orthopedics and traumatology, pointed out that although it is hot in summer, it brings a lot of troubles to daily life, but it is very beneficial to the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. First of all, summer is not only sunny, but also has less clothes and a large skin area. After the skin is exposed to sunlight, it can produce more active vitamin D, which is beneficial to the absorption of calcium. In addition, there are many outdoor activities in summer, and proper activities and exercises can increase the elasticity and toughness of bones and improve or alleviate the symptoms of osteoporosis. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people should seize the good opportunity of "nourishing bones" in summer. Tips for "nourishing bones" in summer 1 Dietary calcium supplementation Ensure that you drink a glass of milk every day, drink more bone soup and shrimp skin winter melon soup, and eat more dark green vegetables rich in calcium, which can promote the absorption of calcium under the condition of sufficient active vitamin D. Appropriate outdoor activities can promote the absorption of calcium by bones and increase the elasticity and toughness of bones. Wang Chuang Chang Yong suggested that it is best to stick to outdoor activities for more than 30 minutes every day. The time should be chosen before 10 and after 4 pm every morning to prevent heatstroke. You should wear a half-sleeved shirt and shorts when you are active, so that the sun can shine directly on your joints. Eat pig's trotters and drink less. Middle-aged and elderly people can often eat some tendons and skins and take in some collagen to increase the toughness of bones. At the same time, summer is also the golden season for drinking beer, especially for young people. Excessive drinking is one of the causes of osteoporosis, especially beer and liquor, which will inhibit bone growth factor and accelerate the loss of calcium in bone. 4 correct treatment for some patients with severe osteoporosis, in addition to diet and proper exercise, they should go to the hospital for formal treatment, avoid blindly taking calcium tablets and health care products, and take them under the guidance of the best doctors. Finally, Wang Chuang Chang Yong reminded that many bone diseases are caused by years of accumulation of cold and dampness. However, due to the high temperature in summer, the qi and blood are unobstructed, the symptoms disappear and the pain stops. But this is only the incubation period of osteopathy. Once the temperature drops, all the symptoms will follow, and even get worse. Therefore, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, we must do a good job of "nurturing bones".
