The best way for people to keep healthy is actually to conform to nature. When physical conditions permit, we should accept the stimulation of cold in winter and experience the feeling of hot in summer, instead of always staying in an artificially comfortable small environment; Therefore, the hotter it is, the more ways to make your body sweat, which is in line with the way of keeping in good health.
There is an old saying, "If you don't sweat in summer, you will be bald when you are sick." There is less sweating in summer, and all kinds of problems will come to you all year round. Scientifically speaking, sweating in summer has at least ten advantages: detoxification and disease prevention, beauty and moisturizing, weight loss and chronic diseases prevention, immunity improvement, digestion promotion, memory enhancement, blood pressure stabilization, bone protection, stone prevention and cold protection.
Did you see the urge to sweat immediately?
There are two ways to sweat: active sweating through exercise and passive sweating in hot environment. Active sweating can deeply promote energy consumption and accelerate human metabolism. Compared with passive sweating, it is more conducive to the discharge of moisture and toxins in the body and the stretching of yang.
Sweating also has disadvantages. The disadvantage is that sweating will discharge a lot of water and electrolyte, which will easily lead to water shortage and electrolyte loss. Therefore, while fully enjoying the benefits of sweating in summer, we should also pay attention to solving the problems of water shortage and electrolyte loss through diet.
How to solve it? Simple, reasonable and healthy methods: eat light food and drink more tea.
In summer, the digestive function of the spleen and stomach is weakened, and the self-regulation ability of the internal organs becomes worse. Under the condition of ensuring adequate nutrition, don't add extra burden to the body, so the diet should avoid heavy oil and heavy taste, and should be based on digestible high-quality protein and various coarse grains, fruits and vegetables. Another purpose of lightness is to replenish water and electrolytes by eating.
Besides eating, drinking water is the most important and direct way to replenish water and electrolytes. Compared with drinking water and other synthetic drinks, drinking tea is undoubtedly more efficient, healthier and more affordable. Tea is a natural healthy drink without additives, which contains a lot of vitamins and electrolyte trace elements such as potassium and manganese. Therefore, drinking tea in summer can maintain the balance of body fluids than drinking water to quench thirst.
If there is no condition to exercise and sweat, you can also achieve the purpose of sweating by drinking hot tea. Sweating by drinking hot tea is from the inside out, and the effect is better than sweating by soaking feet in sauna. Caffeine, polysaccharide and aromatic substances in hot tea can regulate the body temperature center, promote blood flow to the body surface, open sweat pores, relax sweat glands, promote urination and perspiration, heat and detoxify, and achieve the effect of exercise and perspiration.
Tea polyphenols, tea pigments, caffeine, vitamin C, polysaccharides and other components in tea can protect cardiovascular health, reduce cholesterol and blood lipids, and prevent gastrointestinal diseases.
No matter what kind of constitution, the cold and heat of the human body are often accompanied by moisture, which is called wet, cold and damp heat. Drinking warm fermented tea in summer, such as black tea, black tea and Pu 'er tea, can help people sweat, eliminate dampness and nourish the stomach.
Drinking tea in summer has some differences for different teas.
Drinking green tea protects against sun exposure and radiation. A large amount of catechins in green tea has a strong antioxidant function, which can reduce the sunburn and damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin.
Drinking black tea can refresh your mind. Caffeine rich in black tea can stimulate the nerve center, accelerate our blood circulation and body fluid discharge, and promote metabolism, thus refreshing the mind and eliminating fatigue. The tea pigment in black tea has the warming effect of warming and protecting the stomach. Therefore, drinking black tea in summer has a good conditioning effect on yang deficiency constitution with poor spleen and stomach function.
Drinking Pu 'er and black tea can help digestion and eliminate fatigue. Pu 'er and dark tea are fermented by microorganisms, and the effective substances in them can increase the peristalsis of digestive tract, contribute to the digestion of food, and achieve the effects of digestion, fatigue relief and fat reduction.
The weather is hot, and under normal protection, the healthy way of keeping in good health should be: insist on moderate exercise and sweat actively; To achieve a balanced diet and eat more light; Drink more hot tea, replenish water, electrolyte and nutrition, sweat and prevent heatstroke, regulate the stomach and protect the body.
Drinking tea in summer, especially hot tea, is not only sweating, but also replenishing water and electrolytes. You can drink boiled water to replenish water, and the electrolyte can also be achieved through a light vegetarian diet. You can also drink some functional drinks when you are in a bad situation, but no drink can play a comprehensive care and maintenance role on your body like drinking tea.
Water and electrolytes are like water flowing in the body and will not rot. Only when the water moves can it take away toxins and some unhealthy substances. When all kinds of nutritional and health-care ingredients in tea are dissolved in water, unhealthy things can be quickly and thoroughly removed, leaving healthy ingredients for them to nourish and care for our bodies at all times. Besides drinking tea, what other ways can realize this convenient, affordable and long-term benefit?
Chen Zongmao, an academician of China Tea Industry, has a good saying: "Drink tea for one minute to quench your thirst; Drink tea for an hour for leisure; Drinking tea for a month is healthy; Drink tea all your life and live longer. "In summer, if you insist on sweating, eating lightly and drinking more tea, especially warm tea, your body will be healthier, more relaxed and happier.
