The basic principles of health preservation in summer are: heatstroke prevention in midsummer; Preventing dampness in long summer; At the same time, we should pay attention to protecting the human body's yang, and prevent excessive greed and coldness due to summer vacation, thus hurting the human body's yang. In summer, the heat is unbearable. When the human body can't stand too much damp and heat, for the human body, damp and heat has become an evil force that threatens the human body and can cause disease. Therefore, summer and Xia Zhishi should pay attention to heatstroke prevention and moisture prevention.

Heatstroke:

Summer heat is the main qi of summer heat and is melted by fiery heat, which only occurs in summer. At this time, the evil of summer heat can dissipate yang and body fluid, leading to hyperhidrosis, decreased body fluid, dry mouth and lips, yellow urine and upset, and so on. At this time, timely treatment is needed, which is the most common heatstroke phenomenon in summer. Summer is very hot, often annoying, and annoying is even hotter, so peace of mind is particularly important. There are two ways to protect your mind in summer: one is to have something to do so that your spirit is not empty; Second, you should have good spiritual cultivation, which can avoid the interference of external bad emotions. As long as you do these two things well, you will naturally be full of energy. This is the basic law of mental recuperation in summer.

Second, we must be moisture-proof:

Humidity is the main gas in long summer, especially in the south, where it is hot and rainy. Because the damp pathogen is heavy and turbid downward, it is particularly easy to damage the function of the spleen and stomach, leading to indigestion in summer; Moisture is also particularly easy to invade the bones and muscles of the skin, so skin lesions and arthritis often occur in summer.

In the dog days of summer, due to the effect of high temperature, low pressure and high humidity, human sweat is not easy to be discharged and evaporated after sweating, which will make people fidgety, tired, loss of appetite and prone to gastroenteritis and dysentery. Damp pathogen in long summer is the most likely to invade the spleen and stomach function, leading to low digestion and absorption function.

Chinese medicine believes that the principle of diet in the long summer season should be light, less greasy and mainly warm food.

In the south of China, many people have the habit of eating Chili. Eating pepper can promote perspiration, help digestion and increase appetite, which has certain benefits. The way to eat warm food is very simple, that is, to drink porridge. Health experts believe that it is beneficial to drink porridge for breakfast and dinner, which can not only quench thirst, relieve summer heat, but also nourish the body.

For example, red bean porridge has the function of tonifying kidney and eliminating edema, and people with poor renal function had better eat more.

Broad bean porridge is good for chronic edema and nephritis.

Lotus leaf porridge can relieve summer heat, clear stomach and moisten intestines, quench thirst and detoxify. Lotus porridge can strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, which is good for diarrhea and insomnia.

Lily porridge can moisten the lungs and relieve cough, nourish the heart and soothe the nerves, and is suitable for the elderly with insufficient lung yin.

Winter melon porridge has the effects of diuresis, detumescence, quenching thirst, promoting fluid production and lowering blood pressure.

Auricularia auricula porridge can promote fluid production and moisten lung, nourish yin and moisten lung, and can treat hypertension and chronic bronchitis. Astragalus porridge can treat edema caused by spleen deficiency.

Third, be wary of "greed":

Heatstroke prevention and moisture prevention are things that everyone should do in summer, and getting cool in summer is one of the ways for people to get comfortable life in hot summer. When it gets cold, most people don't think it's bad to cool down and get rid of dampness, but they don't know how to protect the yang in the body in hot summer.

First of all, people can't just pay attention to the immediate comfort and avoid heat too much, such as staying in the open air for the night or being too cold, which leads to insufficient qi, thus leading to the evil of summer cold. When enjoying the cool, pay special attention to cover your abdomen.

Secondly, when people are in a cold air environment for a long time and suddenly enter a hot environment, a series of physiological reactions will occur in the body. Overeating in summer is easy to catch a cold; There will be different degrees of gastrointestinal diseases; In severe cases, skin diseases and cardiovascular diseases will occur. The symptoms of the elderly and children are more obvious. Therefore, in hot summer, in order to prevent the invasion of cold air, we should pay attention to the following aspects:

The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should not be too large, and it is best not to exceed 5℃. The indoor temperature is not lower than 25℃. Air-conditioned rooms should not be closed for a long time, and should be ventilated frequently. After falling asleep, you'd better turn off the air conditioner. When you feel cold indoors, you must stand up and move your limbs and body to speed up blood circulation. Patients with chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, hypertension and arteriosclerosis, especially the elderly and patients with joint pain, should not stay in cold air for a long time.
