First, raise yang in summer.
Point out the rules that we should follow in summer. Raising yang has two meanings.
1, Yang is in a state of outward divergence.
Summer is the most vigorous season for all things to grow, and nourishing yang in summer is to cultivate the exuberant outward divergent state of the human body. Therefore, people should correspond to the climate change in nature, stay up late and get up early in summer, and actively participate in outdoor activities. Improve the body's tolerance to summer heat through outdoor activities, so that the yang can be declared. Hot weather is easy to make people fidgety, so we should pay attention to nourishing, avoid being impatient and hot, and vent the depression in the body by sweating, so that the body can adapt to the state of propaganda in the long summer.
2. Nourishing yang means nourishing the yang of the human body.
Summer is hot and sunny, especially in the south. Herbal tea has become people's favorite drink, and men, women and children should drink several cups every day to clear away heat and relieve summer heat. People don't know that although the climate is hot in summer, the yang of the human body is in a state of venting, that is, the external surplus is deficient. Excessive consumption of herbal tea can easily damage the qi of the spleen and stomach, causing symptoms such as loss of appetite, stomachache and diarrhea. Long-term use will damage spleen and kidney yang deficiency, leading to spleen and kidney yang deficiency.
At the same time, in summer, human metabolism is vigorous, sweating is more, and pores are open. If you are greedy for cold, get wind after sweating or the air conditioner is too cold, it is easier to damage the yang of the human body. The damp heat in the long summer is also the most likely to hurt the spleen and yang, so don't think that summer is just the evil of summer heat, but eat raw and cold, and be greedy for cold. Long summer corresponds to the spleen of five internal organs. Spleen naturally likes dryness and hates dampness. Once the function of the spleen is hindered by dampness, it may lead to stagnation of water and dampness in the body due to abnormal spleen qi transport and poor qi movement, resulting in various symptoms such as fullness, loss of appetite, loose stool, unfavorable urination, skin exudation, edema, and tepid limbs. In some places, there is a custom of drinking ginger tea in summer, which plays a role in invigorating spleen, strengthening yang and removing dampness.
Second, summer focuses on the Qing Dynasty.
1, the food should be light.
The hot summer diet should be light, soft and easy to digest, and eat less fried, greasy and spicy food. A light diet can clear away heat, prevent heatstroke, stop sweating, replenish water and stimulate appetite. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as white gourd, bitter gourd, watermelon and cucumber. , can not only meet the needs of the human body, but also prevent heatstroke. Eat cold drinks moderately, and don't eat too many cold products, otherwise it will hurt the yang and the body. In addition, eating vinegar can not only stimulate appetite, but also kill bacteria and prevent gastrointestinal tract.
2, the mind should be quiet
The summer heat is steaming and burning, which easily makes people irritable. Therefore, first of all, we should calm our mood, and avoid impatience and uncontrollable. Because of impatience, it is hot, so the heart is endogenous. Let your mood be like clear and calm lake water, as the ancients said, "Don't be impatient" and avoid being induced by emotions.
3. The environment should be cool.
You can't rely on air conditioning all day in summer. When the temperature is slightly lower in the morning and evening, open the doors and windows for ventilation to avoid indoor air turbidity. Especially when it rains and after the rain, the air is fresh and rich in negative ions. At this time, turn off the air conditioner, open the window and enjoy the essence endowed by nature.
4. Be pure.
The purpose is to make the mood calm, naturally calm. Hot weather and rainy days are not suitable for long-distance travel, so as not to hurt Tianjin and consume gas. You can choose to practice TCM health exercises in the cooler morning and evening, or walk by the river or lake, or walk in the lush gardens. In short, we should be close to nature, and we should not only exercise in an air-conditioned gym because we are afraid of heat. The gains from exercising in nature are incomparable to indoor exercise.
