For people, this is a period of vigorous metabolism, and the human body is full of yang, including yin, and the blood circulation is also vigorous, active on the body surface, and the human body's yang is exhausted, which is easy to spread and consume damage. Therefore, "tonifying yang" is appropriate, that is, tonifying yang is the foundation of summer health preservation. So, how should women keep in good health in summer? What is the secret?
In summer, the days are long and the nights are short. At this time, it is necessary to adapt to the changes of yang and yin deficiency, and sleep should be relatively "late to bed and early to rise". It is suggested to go to bed before 10 at night and follow the principle of "taking a nap", that is, taking a nap at noon (23:00-0 1:00). But the nap time should not be too long, generally half an hour is appropriate.
In hot summer, many women turn on the air conditioner when they sleep, but it is best to cover a blanket to ensure that the neck, shoulders and back are not cold. Because after falling asleep, the human blood circulation slows down and the resistance drops. At this time, if the cold wind blows for a long time and the sweat is excreted unevenly, it is easy to get air-conditioning disease, especially for female friends with neck, shoulder, back and leg pain.
After the summer solstice, the sun's qi radiates outward and sweats more, which is easy to form a situation of external heat and internal cold. During this period, if you often eat cold food, it is most likely to hurt Yang, so the diet should be warm but not cold, otherwise it will hurt the spleen and stomach and cause vomiting and diarrhea.
In summer, many girls like to drink mung bean soup, which can really quench their thirst and relieve summer heat, but don't drink it cold.
Summer is prone to spleen and stomach weakness, so food should have the function of strengthening the spleen and promoting diuresis. The diet should be light, eat more melons and loofah, not too greasy.
To nourish your heart in summer, you should sweat properly. Because sweat is the liquid of the heart, the process of sweating is actually a process in which the yang in the body transpires the yin, allowing the yin to reach the body surface through pores. However, in summer, we should choose some exercises with lower difficulty and less exercise, and the exercise time should be shortened appropriately, because the high temperature in summer itself will consume a lot of heat. If we do heavy exercise and sweat like rain, it will damage the human yang.
It is rainy in summer, especially in the recent flood season. The climate is humid and sultry, and the human body is wet. You can't get rid of moisture without sweating, and you will also bury many health hazards. So shaking the cattail leaf fan in summer is the best way to enjoy the cool.
Sweating too much will make you sad and consume your heart and yang. So don't exercise too much in summer. Women can do yoga. It is a good choice to go to the park, take a walk by the river and jog in the early morning or evening when the weather is cool.
