In summer, the weather is warm, the yang activity of human body is vigorous, and yin and body fluid are easily damaged, resulting in sweat leakage. People pay more attention to the maintenance of yin and body fluid, but often ignore the maintenance of yang. Summer heat relaxes the human body, and it is easy to damage the yang by enjoying the cool and drinking it. How to raise yang in summer?
Regulating spirit-summer health care focuses on regulating spirit, maintaining a happy and stable mood, and avoiding great sorrow and joy, so as to avoid adding heat to the fire. Calm down and cool yourself can achieve the purpose of nourishing yang.
Skillful exercise-it is advisable to exercise bones and muscles, regulate qi and blood and maintain yang through beneficial cultural and sports activities. Exercise should be gradual, strictly control the amount of exercise, and don't be overtired.
Be cautious about life-everything in nature grows vigorously in summer, so you should adjust your life accordingly, such as getting up early, taking a walk and jogging in a quiet place outside after washing, breathing fresh air and stretching the yang.
Take a nap-the human body loses a lot of calories at noon and feels sleepy after lunch. Through a short nap, you can avoid the peak of heatstroke and supplement the lack of sleep at night.
Don't be greedy for cold-the elderly and infirm, who have insufficient yang, will feel dizzy, weak limbs and drowsy if they blow electric fans for a long time or stay in air-conditioned rooms for a long time, and are more likely to cause diseases such as colds.
Diet-It's warm in summer, so we should pay attention to diet regulation, and don't eat after being extremely hungry, and don't eat too much. Also avoid extreme thirst and drink too much. You must also eat fruits and cold drinks carefully so as not to hurt the spleen and stomach yang. Vegetarian and yang-deficient people often eat crucian carp, jujube, walnut kernel and other foods that are conducive to warming and nourishing yang, and often receive the effect of benefiting qi and strengthening the body.
Prevention of poisoning-bacteria multiply rapidly in midsummer, and 70% of food poisoning occurs in summer. The elderly and children have weak gastrointestinal function and poor resistance, and are prone to dehydration after onset, which is life-threatening, so preventive work should be done.
