According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, summer belongs to fire, and a special stage of summer is called "long summer", which belongs to soil alone. Pay attention to the following aspects in summer: 1. 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. 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. 3. Entering the midsummer season, the temperature is high and the humidity is high, giving people a sultry feeling, which is what Chinese medicine calls long summer. Long summer belongs to the soil in the five elements, corresponding to the spleen of the five internal organs of traditional Chinese medicine, which hates dampness and likes dryness, so long summer often leads to spleen and stomach diseases, loss of appetite, diarrhea and other symptoms. People with weak spleen and stomach should adjust their diet in time, be nutritious without increasing the burden on the spleen and stomach, and eat less and more meals. Sweating in summer often makes people thirsty, but we should be careful not to drink a lot of water before meals, let alone drink a lot of cold drinks. On the contrary, it is easy to damage the spleen and stomach, leading to chronic spleen and stomach diseases. There are many fruits and vegetables in summer, so you can eat more, but you should pay attention to the taste of fruits, know your physique and avoid damage. For example, people with spleen and stomach deficiency should not eat a lot of cool fruits such as watermelon, pear, kiwi fruit and grapefruit; Those with internal fire and phlegm dampness should eat less longan and litchi. Allergic constitution, eat mango, pineapple and so on carefully. As the saying goes, "peaches nourish people, apricots hurt people, and plums kill people." Eating too many plums will make people feel more phlegm, help to get rid of dampness, and even make people feel weak, hot and dizzy. People with urinary calculi can't eat more strawberries; People with stomach acid and diarrhea should eat less bananas; Apples, peaches, grapes, cantaloupes, mulberries, watermelons and other fruits have high sugar content, so diabetics should be careful to eat them. 5. In summer, the yang of the human body floats on the body surface and leaks out with sweat, which makes the health qi insufficient and the resistance decreases. If you feel the external wind at this time, it can also cause wind chill, wind heat and summer dampness. So there are many kinds of colds in summer: wind-cold colds, fever is not obvious, and colds are obviously annoying. At the same time, the runny nose is clear and sneezing repeatedly. At this time, you should take 2 bags of Qinghan granules immediately, take them while they are hot, or drink brown sugar water with sliced onion and ginger every 2-3 hours, and most symptoms will be obviously relieved. If the body temperature rises rapidly, it is accompanied by aversion to cold and throat discomfort. Most of them are wind-heat colds. You can take Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, antiviral oral liquid, Qingkailing and vitamin C Yinqiao tablets in the early stage. If fever is accompanied by nausea or vomiting, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, etc. Most of them are summer-dampness colds, similar to gastrointestinal colds in western medicine. At this time, you should take Huoxiang Zhengqi capsule or water in time, and increase the dose for the first time, 3-4 times a day. At the same time, control your diet and cook some lotus leaf and mung bean porridge. 6. The humid and sultry climate makes people's skin susceptible to infection, and summer is also the season with frequent skin diseases. Pay attention to skin care and take a bath with some natural herbs, which will make people spend a healthy and happy summer. For example, in the mulberry leaf bath, put about100g of mulberry leaves in a pot, boil for 10- 15 minutes, and then pour into the bathtub, which can eliminate skin acne, furuncle and brown spots. Another example is mint bath, which can prevent eczema and prickly heat. It has entered summer, so everyone should pay attention to control and have a comfortable and healthy summer.
