The foot is called the second heart, and people's feet have representative areas of the whole body and reflection points of internal organs. The ancients said, "Washing feet before going to bed is better than tonic." Summer is no exception. Although it felt a little hot at that time, it would bring coolness and comfort afterwards.
Step 2 drink hot tea
Cold drinks can only relieve summer heat temporarily, but not permanently, while drinking hot tea can stimulate the general relaxation of capillaries, but the body temperature is obviously reduced, which is a simple and excellent folk prescription.
In addition, strengthening heat-resistant exercise, improving body temperature regulation function and enhancing heat adaptability can not only enhance physical fitness, but also effectively prevent heat diseases such as heatstroke.
3. Protect Yang
Although the temperature is high, we should take good care of the yang of the human body. Also known as "nourishing Yang in spring and summer". Yang is the motive force of human beings, fluctuating with the alternation of seasons and the sun and the moon. In summer, the yang is strong and often floats outside, but it is easy to be injured by external evils. Sweating leads to yang death. In other words, in hot summer, it is generally not appropriate to do a lot of exercise, and water and nutrition should be supplemented in time after exercise.
4. Wipe your body with a hot towel
Due to the hot summer, people's face and body will sweat more easily than usual. Sweating in time can make the skin breathable, but the towel must be hot to adapt to the rhythm of human body cooling.
Step 5 take a hot bath
Taking a cold bath in summer will shrink the skin and make it feel hotter after washing, while taking a hot bath will sweat more, but it will dilate the capillaries and help the body expel heat. Sweating in summer is a way to conform to the laws of nature and human rhythm.
Step 6 observe the solar terms
After the long summer, the northern hemisphere will get enough sunshine, the sunshine time will be prolonged and the temperature will rise, so people's sleep will be reduced. People with sleep disorders are more likely to get worse, suffer from insomnia or fidget at night. Chinese medicine says that it is advisable to "go to bed early and get up early" in summer to conform to the solar terms. If you can't go to bed early at night, a proper lunch break at noon is still a good adjustment. It is the best arrangement to get up early in summer and do proper morning exercises.
