According to Professor Peng Kang, Xia Yue is a fire, warm and hot. The sun is like fire, the weather is fine, the atmosphere is high, and everything is beautiful and flashy. In summer, the human body's yang tends to be outward, the yang is the most vigorous, the metabolism is very vigorous, the body is relaxed, sweating is more, and the qi dissipates with the body fluid. Every time the yang is injured, the body fluid is consumed. In addition, the summer rain is wet and rainy, which is easy to trap spleen yang. Summer tonic should be moderate, and more attention should be paid to heatstroke prevention and yang injury. It should be based on tonic. In summer, the human body is full of yang and full of yin. The long summer rain is full of dampness, which is easy to attack the human body and cause disease. Summer heat is the evil of yang, which damages body fluid and consumes qi, while dampness is the evil of yin, which easily blocks spleen yang.
Summer diet should not be "cold, fat and smelly", and it is not advisable to eat too many raw and cold foods, such as honey ice, bean jelly and cold porridge. Avoid diseases such as gastroenteritis and dysentery. Diet should be light and easy to digest. Eat onions and garlic (spicy, warm, cold and sunny) properly. The so-called summer tonic, mainly refers to summer health, suitable for Zhengyang.
The days in summer are long and hot. In daily life, we should hate the sun, let nature take its course, face the summer correctly, don't have aversion, don't stay up late, don't get up early, make our will lively and happy, love the beauty of nature, just like a plant in bud, which can show its beauty and communicate and release the yang of the human body-"Shun Zhengyang".
