Three stages of the great summer heat
The summer heat is divided into three stages: "one stage is that rotten grass turns into fireflies;" Second, wait for the soil to moisten and cool off the heat; It will be fine when it rains. "
(1) When rotten grass is a firefly, it is called Dan Liang, Danbird, night light and night light candle, all of which are aliases of fireflies. From the extreme of Ming, subtle things will turn into Ming. Terrestrial fireflies lay eggs on hay. In summer, fireflies ovulate, so the ancients thought fireflies were made of rotten grass.
(2) Second, the soil moistens the summer heat: moist, moist, moist due to steaming; Summer heat, commonly known as filth, is also hot. The weather began to get muggy and the ground was wet.
(3) When it rains three times: it is steaming when it is hot and humid, and it will cool off when it rains today. In other words, there are frequent thunderstorms, which weaken the heat and humidity, and the weather begins to transition to beginning of autumn.
Emotionally, we should abide by the principle of "keeping in good health by meditation", keep a calm mind, avoid bad stimulation, treat everything with a normal heart, and never be overjoyed and furious. Secondly, we should pay attention to psychological coolness, and we can adjust our mood through "psychological suggestion" and "psychological coolness".
When the summer heat and solar terms enter the "Mid-Autumn Festival", people often feel upset, loss of appetite, impatience and anxiety, which is a typical symptom of "emotional heatstroke". Emotional heatstroke is very harmful to summer health and physical and mental health, especially to the elderly and infirm. Because of emotional disorder, it will cause myocardial ischemia, arrhythmia, elevated blood pressure and even sudden death. Therefore, in summer, control personal emotions and prevent diseases.
Daily life is a vital part of health preservation in summer, and summer solar terms pay attention to "staying up late and getting up early, taking a nap". People need at least seven to eight hours of effective sleep every day. The time from 1 1 in the evening to 1 in the morning is the time when the qi and blood of the viscera return. Lack of sleep can easily lead to liver yin deficiency and disharmony between yin and yang, so taking a nap in the afternoon is helpful to the operation of heart meridian. In addition, in the hottest afternoon, people should try to reduce going out. If you must go out, you must take good sun protection measures, such as wearing a sun hat, playing a sun umbrella, applying sunscreen, and carrying heatstroke prevention drugs with you.
In terms of exercise, it is best to exercise in the early morning or evening to avoid exercising in the scorching sun. Choose sports with relatively small amount of exercise, such as broadcast gymnastics and badminton, to avoid excessive fatigue and sweating, and drink warm water and replenish body fluids after exercise. Don't take a bath immediately after exercise. The correct way is to wait for the sweat on your body to dry before taking a bath with warm water. The water temperature should be 65438 0 ~ 2℃ higher than the body temperature.
Diet recuperation is based on the climate characteristics in summer. Because of the hot weather in summer and sweating, it is easy to consume gas and hurt yin. People at this time are often "disease-free." Therefore, in addition to timely hydration, we should always eat some light foods that can replenish qi and nourish yin to enhance our physical fitness. Such as yam, jujube, sea cucumber, eggs, milk, honey, lotus root, fungus, soybean milk, lily porridge, chrysanthemum porridge and so on. Avoid spicy and greasy food.
Eat more bitter food. Bitter food can not only clear away heat, but also relieve summer heat and fatigue. Proper consumption of bitter food such as bitter gourd, bitter vegetable and bitter buckwheat can strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite. In addition, bitter food can also make people feel refreshed and relaxed, which is conducive to restoring energy and physical strength in hot summer, and alleviating or eliminating discomfort such as general fatigue and listlessness.
Increase the intake of foods that clear away heat and relieve summer heat, strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis, such as mung bean soup, lotus leaves, watermelon, lotus seeds, wax gourd, lentils, coix seed, etc., which have good effects of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat and strengthening the spleen. Summer is also a season of frequent intestinal diseases. Eating more "sterilized" vegetables such as garlic, onion and leek can prevent gastrointestinal diseases.

In the hot summer, the human body's pores are open, sweating is constant, the yang is exhausted, the exterior and interior are not solid, and the evil of cold is easy to take advantage of it. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent both "sunny and summer heat" and "cloudy and summer heat" in dog days. Don't be greedy for cold drinks and sleep in dog days. The ancients said that "summer is not poor and cool", and excessive greed for cold can cause "cold", while patients with chronic bronchitis, hypertension and coronary heart disease often get worse after catching cold.
The summer heat is the season with the highest temperature and the highest yang. In health care, people often say that "winter diseases are treated in summer", so it is the best time to treat those chronic diseases that occur every winter, such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, bronchial asthma, diarrhea, rheumatism and joint pain.
