Some people say that listening to you talk about yang every day, what is yang? Yang is the energy that the body needs, part of which is congenital, inherited by parents, and part of which is acquired, that is, taken from food.
Sufficient yang, good health, less illness; Yang deficiency, physical weakness, and illness. The dog days are when the yang is at its peak, but if you don't pay attention to health, it is easy to consume the yang and reduce people's resistance, which is not conducive to health.
Keep healthy in dog days, please take precautions, avoid raising, be full of yang and be healthy!
One prevention: prevent colds.
In summer, the refrigerator is often filled with ice cream, watermelon, beer, drinks, ice water and so on. These foods are cold when eaten in the stomach, and the whole person feels refreshed when drunk in the stomach. However, eating cold food in dog days consumes yang and hurts the spleen and stomach, which is easy to cause abdominal pain and diarrhea.
There are also dog days without air conditioning, because the air-conditioned room is cool and very comfortable, so everyone wants to stay in the air-conditioned room, but staying in the air-conditioned room for a long time makes the body feel cool, but it is also easy to make the wet and cold gas invade the body and aggravate the moisture in the body.
If the moisture is not discharged in time in the dog days, in autumn and winter, various problems will appear in the body, especially in the middle-aged and elderly people, which will lead to rheumatoid arthritis. Therefore, it is good for health to prevent colds in dog days.
Avoid: summer vacation
Summer corresponds to the fire in the five elements, so you can imagine how hot it is in summer, especially now it is dog days, and the high temperature is roasting the earth, which is unbearable.
By this time, many people will suffer from heatstroke, with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Moreover, sweating in summer leads to a decrease in body fluid, which is also easy to consume yang.
Therefore, everyone must know how to escape the heat in peacetime, and rarely go outdoors in hot weather, especially when the sun is high and the temperature is high at noon. At this time, outdoor activities are prone to heatstroke and even make people faint.
In summer, in addition to less outdoor activities, it is necessary to replenish water in time, and to ventilate indoors and cool down in time.
Nourish: nourish yang.
① moxibustion
People often make three-day stickers on dog days, but many people are allergic to stickers and can choose moxibustion. Moxibustion is pure yang. In dog days, moxibustion can be used to dispel the damp and cold qi in the body, and it can also achieve the purpose of treating winter diseases in summer.
② Eat warm food
Although it is hot in the dog days, it is not suitable for drinking cold. Drink more hot water, not too hot, just warm it up, which can promote people's metabolism, speed up blood circulation and make qi and blood run more smoothly. While drinking boiled water, you can also add some warm ingredients, such as ginger, red dates, longan and so on. Put them in a cup, then add boiling water and brew for a few minutes to make tea.
