Today's discussion: summer gastrointestinal conditioning

Six things that the body fears most in dog days.

First, the cervical spine is most afraid of blowing.

It is hot and natural. Many families turn on the air conditioner for a long time, and the cervical vertebra blows against the air conditioner, which will cause pathological changes of surrounding soft tissues, form chronic inflammation of muscles and subcutaneous tissues, and cause persistent neck spasm, back pain and other consequences. It is suggested that the indoor air conditioning temperature should not be lower than 25℃, and the shoulders should not directly face the air conditioning. If the temperature can't be adjusted by yourself, you can put a shawl on your shoulder and take a hot bath at night.

Second, drinking water is the most afraid of being fast.

Because of the high temperature, the speed of water shortage will also accelerate, and many people are used to drinking water in big gulps. If you drink water too fast, the water will quickly enter the blood, be absorbed in the intestine, dilute the blood, increase the blood volume, and have a bad heart. Especially people with coronary heart disease will have chest tightness, shortness of breath and other symptoms, which may seriously lead to myocardial infarction.

Therefore, drinking water in summer should not be too fast, and it should be small for many times. Drink only 100~ 150 ml every time, the body will absorb it better, and you can't be greedy for cold. /kloc-Warm water above 0/0 degree is the best for your health.

Third, the eyes are most afraid of sun exposure.

In the scorching sun, the eyes are the most vulnerable organs. Experts remind that eyes like cold and fear heat. If you don't pay attention to sun protection, it is easy to age ahead of time and cause various eye diseases. If you want to go out from 10 to 4 pm, you'd better wear sunglasses, a hat or an umbrella. Dark brown and light green sunglasses have the best anti-ultraviolet effect; You can eat more eye-catching foods, such as longan, yam, carrots, red dates and so on. Bacteria multiply quickly in summer, so rub your eyes as little as possible; Washing your face with running water can reduce eye diseases.

Fourth, morning exercises are most afraid of being early.

Dawn breaks early in summer, and many people go to the park for morning exercises early. In the morning, after a night of metabolism, plants absorb oxygen and exhale a lot of carbon dioxide, which increases the concentration of carbon dioxide in places with many trees and flowers. The research shows that before 6 o'clock in the summer morning, various harmful substances such as nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons produced by coal burning and automobile exhaust gather in the air, which is the peak of pollution. Breathing these dirty air will have harmful effects on human body. Therefore, the morning exercise time in summer should not be earlier than 6 o'clock.

Fifth, the family is most afraid of gray.

Summer is sultry and humid, and dust is more likely to attach to the air and enter people's skin and body. Because it is difficult to be found by naked eyes, people often neglect to clean them up. They float in the air for a long time and attach to the surface of objects in large quantities, becoming the habitat of dust mites and mold spores in the air. These dirty things will take the opportunity to enter the respiratory system, leading to asthma, rhinitis and other diseases. It is suggested to increase the cleaning frequency in summer, once every two or three days.

Sixth, the stomach is most afraid of cold.

In summer, ice cream, cold drinks and frozen fruits are refreshing to eat! But summer is also a high incidence of intestinal diseases. Experts suggest eating less cold things this season, especially before getting up in the morning and going to bed at night. In order to warm the stomach in time, when eating cold food, add ginger or mustard to warm the stomach for sterilization.

Eight points of Futian health care

1 invigorating qi

It is easy to catch cold in summer, which will lead to insufficient physical strength and vitality and decreased physical function.

Health strategy: the best tonic in summer is American ginseng, which is the only ginseng that does not get angry or hurt yin. Even if there is a problem of yin deficiency, dry mouth and thirst, American ginseng is very suitable, because it not only tonifies qi but also tonifies yin, especially when people feel tired and flustered because of excessive sweating, which is very beneficial to people who suffer in summer.

Nourish the heart

Summer is also the most tiring season for the heart. Because you sweat a lot, you feel sad and consume yin, so you should pay attention to protecting and nourishing the heart in summer.

Health strategy: Chinese medicine believes that the heart should be nourished in summer, and the heart likes red best, so it is advisable to eat more red food in summer. Such as red dates, cherries, grapefruit, saffron and so on. Some of them can nourish the heart, warm the yang and help sleep.

3 Spleen strengthening

Loss of appetite in summer is a common problem of many people. Spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow. If you don't eat well, there will be many problems.

Health strategy: drink orange peel tea, and pharmacies can buy prepared orange peel. Each time, take 10g orange peel and appropriate amount of rock sugar, and soak the offspring tea with boiling water.

This orange peel tea has the effects of regulating qi, stimulating appetite, eliminating dampness and resolving phlegm, and is suitable for people who eat flatulence, indigestion or loss of appetite in summer.

Step 4 get rid of dampness

Summer is hot and humid. When summer and dampness invade the human body, there will be symptoms such as chest tightness and diaphragm, tasteless diet, sticky mouth, dizziness and heavy limbs.

Health strategy: winter melon lotus seed porridge. Wax gourd 100g, lotus seeds 80g, and appropriate amount of water. Wash wax gourd, remove pulp, cut into small pieces, wash lotus seeds and cook porridge.

Adzuki bean coix seed porridge, adzuki bean 50g, coix seed 50g, rice100g, and proper amount of water. Soak adzuki beans and coix seed in clear water for about 2 hours, wash the rice and cook it into porridge.

5 relieve summer heat

In dog days, the temperature is high and the humidity is heavy, so it is essential to relieve summer heat and dampness.

Health strategy: Cardamom has a good effect of clearing away heat and dampness. Cardamom is warm, belongs to the spleen and stomach meridian, and has the effect of warming and nourishing spleen and stomach yang.

Boil the whole nutmeg with rock sugar. The boiled cardamom water is not only fragrant, but also sweet. It is a cool drink that does not hurt the spleen and stomach. You can drink some in dog days.

Step 6 clear fire

Summer corresponds to "heart", and people will get "heart fire" in summer, which sometimes leads to aphtha, upset, insomnia and other diseases.

Health strategy: Lotus plumule is the green nucleus in the middle of lotus seeds, which can clear away heat and fire, mainly heart fire. If you are upset, insomnia, and sores on the tip of your tongue, you can use 20 lotus plumule, or you can add green tea and brew it with boiling water.

7 clearing away heat and toxic materials

Summer is easy to cause excessive heat toxicity, and the most important thing for health care is to clear away heat and detoxify.

Health strategy: mung bean soup has the effects of relieving summer heat, benefiting qi, clearing away heat and toxic materials, and has a good therapeutic effect on mild heatstroke, dizziness and headache, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and irritability without sweat. Rash and rash appear on the skin, which may be due to excessive heat toxicity in the body.

8 sleep peacefully

In summer, the days are long, the nights are short, and the temperature is high at night, which causes some people to have a bad rest at night. Such "imbalance between yin and yang" will increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Health strategy: Many areas have the habit of eating honey lotus root in summer, which has multiple effects of clearing away heat, nourishing blood and removing annoyance.

Slice fresh lotus root after simmering with low fire, and add some honey as a cold dish. Eating lotus root in summer has the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep.

The voice of experts

The dog days are the peak of yang in nature and human body, and also the hottest season of the year. One principle of TCM health preservation is to conform to nature, and it will be hot in summer. When the human body's yang is at its peak, blindly using cold products to resist it will inevitably hurt the human body's yang and damage the function of the spleen and stomach. This is why many people sweat a lot in the dog days and are afraid of the heat, but when they eat watermelon or iced food, they have diarrhea.
