1, the last lie-anti-autumn tiger
At this time, it is autumn, and the so-called "half fire in July, steaming sweet clover in August" and "autumn tiger" are quite fierce. Because summer heat is the easiest way to make people feel sad and disturb their minds, people often show upset, fidgeting and confused thoughts. At this time, in addition to strengthening heatstroke prevention and cooling, we should consciously avoid the interference of this kind of bad mood, so as not to be disturbed by things, not to be impatient, to be cheerful and comfortable. It is necessary to arrange personal daily life reasonably, so as to work and rest on time and live regularly, ensure proper sleep and rest, avoid excessive fatigue, and improve the body's tolerance to high temperature and resistance to "autumn tiger". At this time, the digestive function of the human body is poor, and it is not appropriate to eat a lot of meat to supplement consumption in summer. In addition, "autumn melons hurt the stomach", and watermelons should be eaten less to avoid damaging the spleen and stomach.

Strengthening the spleen and benefiting qi, you can eat more foods that dispel damp heat and strengthen the spleen and stomach. Such as poria cocos, promote the recovery of spleen and stomach function; Euryale ferox, yam, millet, etc. Both have the effects of strengthening the spleen and stomach; Beans such as lentils, cowpeas and adzuki beans also have the effect of invigorating spleen and benefiting qi. What needs special attention is that when eating lentils, you must cook them thoroughly until the color is no longer green, otherwise it will cause food poisoning.
3. Press acupoints along meridians to protect the spleen and stomach.
It's still hot and rainy after beginning of autumn. The combination of damp-heat and steaming is the evil of damp-heat. At this time, if the spleen is injured by dampness, it will not only cause indigestion, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, loose stool, insufficient diet, physical weakness, but also plant the root cause of cough and asthma.
Chinese medicine says "dampness passes through the spleen", so strengthening the spleen is also an important part of hospice care. In the later stage, the spleen and stomach can be maintained, and the three points of Fenglong, Zusanli and Pishu can be massaged every day 100 times to eliminate dampness, strengthen the spleen and regulate the stomach, and invigorate the middle energizer and activate the collaterals.
4, don't be greedy for cold things, so as not to damage the spleen and stomach yang.
At the end of the day, the temperature is still high, but it will obviously cool down sooner or later, and the temperature difference between day and night will gradually increase. At the end of the period, the temperature should be controlled, and it is forbidden to blow air conditioners and eat cold drinks too much, so as not to damage the yang of the spleen and stomach, which is not conducive to health.
In addition, moderate outdoor exercise can strengthen yang, promote temper and increase appetite. It should be noted that it is advisable to sweat slightly when entering outdoor sports, and you must not sweat profusely. This conforms to the law of "nourishing yang in spring and summer and nourishing yin in autumn and winter" in traditional Chinese medicine, and achieves the harmony between man and nature.
5, blowing air conditioning should grasp the "degree"
After beginning of autumn, the weather is still sultry. Under this premise, you can choose air conditioners, electric fans, sleeping mats and other ways to properly relieve the heat and cool down, but you must grasp the degree! Some preventive measures for air-conditioning diseases in summer still need attention. Don't be blind and greedy. The air conditioner can be set at 25℃ to 26℃. Don't blow it directly, don't go in and out of the air-conditioned room frequently, and reduce the working time in front of the computer. Old people, children and other people with poor immunity and white-collar workers who work at their desks for a long time should pay special attention.
Matters needing attention at the end
1, avoid ice cream.
If you are afraid of heat, you can drink cold water at room temperature, which is simple and healthy. If you can insist on not touching ice drinks and ice cream in dog days, even if you don't treat winter diseases in summer, the stubborn chill in your body will be better than half, especially for people who are particularly afraid of cold in winter and have cold hands and feet. Remember!
2. Dry your hair before going to bed
Many people think that when the temperature is high in summer, they can sleep without blow-drying or blow-drying their hair, but in fact this is a very bad habit! In summer, people take a bath very frequently. Some people sit in air-conditioned rooms with wet hair, and even go to sleep without drying their hair, which leads to "wet evil" invading the body unconsciously. Therefore, dry your hair before going to bed in summer.
3. Avoid catching a cold and staying up late
Many people like to stay up late. From the point of view of Taoist doctors, lack of sleep is a symptom of spleen deficiency, indicating that the body is too wet. Take a nap for 30 to 60 minutes in dog days. 1 hour later, your sleep at night will be affected.
4, avoid sedentary
In summer, people sweat when they move. Unlike in the past, people who are active for a long time will have insufficient blood supply, aggravate fatigue and muscle aches, and affect the elimination of moisture. Practicing dog days in summer tells us that we should not be completely motionless in summer, but exercise a little. In summer, when the temperature exceeds 35℃, the sunshine exceeds 12 hours, and the humidity is higher than 80%, people will sweat, which obviously affects the emotional regulation center and makes people easily fidgety. At this time, the practice method is very simple: sitting up, closing your eyes and swallowing body fluid is a good method.
5, cervical vertebrae, waist do not face the air conditioner, clothes should be over the elbow and knee in the air-conditioned room.
When you come back after sweating or exercising, blow cool air into the air conditioner, and moisture will enter the human body along the open sweat pores, damaging the yang. Nowadays, patients who really catch a cold in winter are rare, but they are everywhere in summer. It is because of the use of air conditioning that sweat cannot volatilize and accumulate in the body. Dressing in air-conditioned rooms should be over the elbows and shoulders. Women should not show their waists and men should not show their cervical vertebrae.
