How to raise "long" in summer? Summer is the period when yang grows and yin disappears. The summer Lord grows, everything is thriving, and the heart should be strong. Raising "long" should be based on nourishing the heart, that is, sweating when it is time to sweat, so that the turbid gas is discharged from the body, and it is not easy to suffer in autumn. Huangdi Neijing said: "In Xia San, you lie down at night and get up early. If you are tireless for a long time, you will be exhausted. If you love things outside, this summer should be a good way to grow up. "
So, what are the specific "long" methods? In the summer heat season, people's yang is from the outside to the inside, and ginseng can be used to replenish qi; Sweating too much, you can use Schisandra to suppress your emotions; It's too hot. Body fluid hurts after sweating, which can be adjusted with Ophiopogon japonicus.
In terms of mental conditioning, it is better to keep the stagnation out in summer, let your own gas be evacuated and discharged mentally.
In daily life, we should get more sunshine, which is the main source of human yang. In summer, the sunshine is best between 9 am and 10. At this time, the sunlight is neither strong nor weak, and the ultraviolet rays are low. Plants begin to release oxygen through photosynthesis, and the effect is the best. In summer, the days are long and the nights are short. Go to bed early and get up early, and take part in outdoor activities. You can go to parks, outdoor walks or outings more often. Clothes that penetrate air, are soft and absorb sweat.
In terms of diet, drink plenty of water in summer, and water is the first prescription in summer. Summer diet should be light, eat more green and fruits, not too salty and too sweet, eat less spicy and greasy, so as not to get angry and induce others.

At the end of summer, "cultivating the roots" helps the healthy qi, and the human body is full of healthy qi, and its resistance is enhanced. In winter, it can be less sick or not sick. Therefore, people with weak lung qi deficiency, cold deficiency and pain, and some people with low immune ability will get better treatment in summer than in other seasons.
