However, the "health book" we often say in life may be wrong! Everyone must pay attention-don't let health misunderstanding hurt you!

Myth 1: Yang is excessively warm.

I believe most people know the phrase "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer", but not many people really understand its meaning. Because not everyone is suitable for "warm sun" in summer.

Especially for people in damp heat constitution or people with fever due to yin deficiency in their bodies, eating ginger in summer is often "adding fuel to the fire", which not only has no health preserving effect, but may also cause excessive internal heat.

Drinking mutton soup in summer has the same problem. Therefore, warming yang in summer is often only suitable for people with yang deficiency constitution, and such people usually have the following performances:

Head and body: pale complexion, soft muscles, fear of cold, especially stomach, back, waist and knees, cold hands and feet, tender tongue, resistant to summer but not winter, vulnerable to wind, cold and wet.

Diet: Warm food.

Sleep: sleepy and depressed.

Psychology: introverted and quiet.

Excretion: the stool is thin and prone to cold sweat.

Myth 2: excessive exercise

"Practice for three or nine days in winter and three days in summer" is sought after by many people who love health. Many people still insist on exercising after sweating.

As we all know, sweating will damage the body's yang and body fluids, especially middle-aged and elderly people must not exercise excessively in midsummer, because sweating will lead to blood viscosity and easily lead to heart disease, cerebral infarction and other diseases.

In dog days, health care should be based on summer vacation, quiet and nourishing the heart, more quiet and less moving.

Exercise in dog days must avoid high temperature and be carried out in a cool place and at a cool time. You can try walking, walking for 30 minutes to 1 hour every day, and sweating slightly is appropriate.

Myth 3: blindly drink mung bean soup

Drinking mung bean soup to relieve summer heat is the most common and effective health care method in summer. However, drinking a lot of mung bean soup every day, even drinking water, is excessive.

Because mung bean soup is cold, long-term drinking is easy to hurt the spleen and stomach. Generally speaking, mung bean soup can be drunk 2~3 times a week, each time 1 bowl.

In addition, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, people with yang deficiency or body cold should not drink mung bean soup if they have symptoms such as cold limbs, abdominal distension and diarrhea, and people with blood deficiency and blood deficiency are not suitable for drinking mung bean soup.

Myth 4: only heatstroke prevention does not catch a cold.

Summer heat prevention is the first thing in dog days, but this does not mean that there is no need for cold protection in summer. Especially those who like to eat cold drinks and blow air conditioners in summer, they should pay more attention to "cold protection".

First of all, you must not blow the air conditioner 24 hours a day. When returning to the air-conditioned room from the outside, it is best to adjust the air conditioner to a higher temperature first, and then gradually lower it to let the body adapt slowly.

Secondly, don't take a cold bath after sweating. This will make the pores in the heat dissipation state close quickly, resulting in the inability to dissipate heat in the body. Some people even contract because the blood vessels in the brain are suddenly stimulated by cold, resulting in insufficient blood supply, which leads to dizziness and even fainting.

1. Avoid opening windows.

First of all, humid, sultry and poorly ventilated rooms are more likely to cause heatstroke. Secondly, even if the air conditioner is turned on indoors, if you can't open the window regularly for ventilation, the indoor air quality will deteriorate and may also induce diseases.

Suggestion: open the window for ventilation more than 2 times a day, each time 15~30 minutes.

2. Don't eat "rice"

If you only eat fruits and vegetables in dog days and refuse to eat normally because of poor appetite, it will easily lead to malnutrition and decreased immunity.

Suggestion: Re-heating should also pay attention to nutritional balance. You can change your taste when you have a bad appetite, but you can't help eating.

3. Avoid direct blowing of cold air

Blowing the cervical vertebra directly into the air conditioner will make the muscles in the back of the neck chill, which is easy to cause problems such as persistent neck spasm, backache and backache.

Suggestion: the indoor air conditioning temperature should not be lower than 26, and it is best not to blow directly at the air conditioning on the shoulders and back. If direct blowing is inevitable, you can put on a shawl to keep out the cold.

Step 4 avoid gulping water

Drinking plenty of water in a short time will quickly dilute the blood, increase the circulating blood volume and increase the burden on the heart. It is especially dangerous for patients with coronary heart disease.

Suggestion: it is best not to exceed 200 ml at a time, and warm water is better. You can drink a small amount of water many times at ordinary times, and don't wait for thirst before drinking.

5. Avoid cold drinks constantly

Eating ice cream and cold drinks properly can relieve summer heat, but eating too much will hurt your health.

Too much cold food into the stomach for a long time will make the blood vessels under the gastric mucosa contract and the mucosal layer become thinner, which may lead to mucosal edema and erosion, thus inducing stomach diseases.

Avoid sweating

Health care should conform to the laws of nature, and sweat when sweating, because sweating not only helps to expel the cold and dampness accumulated in the body, but also regulates the body temperature.

Suggestion: Go out for a walk at night, sweating slightly is good for your health.

7. Avoid the lack of lunch breaks

You should stay up late and get up early in dog days, but staying up late is not staying up late. You'd better go to bed before 24 o'clock.

In addition, it is suggested that qualified friends take a nap at noon, which can also effectively prevent the occurrence of heart diseases such as coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction.

8. Avoid getting emotional

In hot summer, people will inevitably be impetuous. But always emotional, it will hurt the body.

For example, when angry, blood pressure will inevitably rise, and the pressure in blood vessels and heart parts is more than three times higher than usual, which is also harmful to the heart.

9. Avoid always eating leftovers.

If summer leftovers are left for a long time, it is easy to produce harmful substances such as sulfite. Even if heated at high temperature, these toxins cannot be eliminated. Clinically, problems caused by eating overnight dishes in summer are not uncommon, ranging from abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting to food poisoning.
