After the summer solar term, the weather characteristics of summer heat will become more prominent, and the human body will sweat more, consume more, and be prone to mental fatigue and loss of appetite. So how to keep fit in summer? Experts pointed out that during the summer vacation, we should pay attention to rest, and at the same time pay attention to supplementing physical strength in diet to relieve fever and prevent heatstroke.

Diet: Sanbao is recommended to be light.

In hot weather, many people will feel loss of appetite. Summer diet is mainly light. However, it does not mean to pursue an absolutely clear vegetarian diet. We only eat vegetables, melons and fruits. The most important thing is to pay attention to nutrition balance, because heat makes people's metabolic ability relatively poor, and any nutrient should be taken in moderation. If you have a bad appetite, you can eat more bitter gourd and celery, which has the functions of relieving summer heat, promoting blood circulation and relaxing blood vessels.

At the same time, the diet should be moderate, mainly to strengthen the spleen, relieve summer heat and eliminate dampness, and the dishes are light and refreshing.

Recommended diet:

1 Monopterus albus

As the saying goes, "Monopterus albus competes for ginseng in the summer", and the summer eel one month before and after the summer is the most nourishing and delicious. In addition, this period is often the remission period of chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases. According to the theory of treating winter diseases in summer, nourishing with Monopterus albus at this time can play a more important role in nourishing the middle warmer, liver and spleen, expelling wind and dampness, and strengthening bones and muscles.

2. Lotus root

Lotus root is rich in nutrition, which can relieve summer heat. Eating lotus root often can cool blood, nourish yin and clear heat. People with nosebleeds in summer can eat more lotus roots. For the elderly, lotus root is a good ingredient to nourish the spleen and stomach in summer. In addition, lotus root is also a health food for people with hypertension, liver disease, anorexia, iron deficiency anemia and malnutrition.

3. mung bean sprouts

Mung bean sprouts can clear away heat and toxic materials, promote diuresis and dehumidification, promote intestinal peristalsis, and have a laxative effect. It is a good weight loss product in summer, a healthy vegetable for constipation patients, and also has good dietotherapy value for patients with esophageal cancer, gastric cancer and rectal cancer.

Daily life: combining work and rest, nourishing yang.

As the saying goes, "the heat is at three volts." Chinese medicine believes that to raise yang in spring and summer, we should pay attention to the combination of work and rest to protect the yang of the human body. In hot weather, the output of the heart is obviously decreased, and the oxygen supply of various organs is obviously weakened. We must pay attention to raising the "heart".

Have a regular life, ensure adequate sleep, and make up for the lack of sleep at night by taking a nap. Exercise properly and have more rest. In summer, the human body consumes a lot of energy, so we should control the intensity during exercise, and don't use cold drinks to cool down after exercise.

Prevention: Prevent heart failure and heatstroke.

1. Heart failure is easy in hot weather.

Heart failure is usually caused by cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and diabetes. In hot weather, because the cardiac output is obviously reduced, the oxygen supply capacity of various organs is obviously reduced, and many people with "fragile hearts" will have heart failure, and patients may initially show shortness of breath after exercise; Since then, with the aggravation of the disease, the tolerance to activities has become worse and worse, and symptoms such as fatigue and loss of appetite may also occur.

Therefore, when entering the hot weather, we must pay attention to raising the "heart".

In hot summer, heatstroke comes uninvited.

It is already very hot in summer. If the strong sunlight lasts too long, infrared rays make people's brains lose the ability to regulate their body temperature, so they are prone to heatstroke.

The outside temperature is high and the air humidity is high, so it is difficult for sweat to evaporate. However, excessive heat accumulation and sweating in the body lead to a large loss of water and salt in the body, which may also lead to heatstroke if it is not replenished in time.

Summer heatstroke, morning 10 to 4 pm, less outdoor activities, drink more water.

Moxibustion Health Care: Protecting Heart Yang

In midsummer, when the climate is hot, people are easily agitated, tired and weak. In self-care and exercise, we should regulate the heart yang according to the five internal organs and the heart in summer, and keep calm to ensure the vigorous heart function, so as to conform to the principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer". Moxibustion in this solar term can reduce fire and nourish vitality.

Moxibustion points: Shaofu point and Hegu point.

(For the above acupoints, it is recommended to use Ai Yisheng Moxibustion Instrument for moxibustion. It is recommended to moxibustion 1 time every day for 30~40 minutes at each acupoint. )

Warm reminder: Summer is the time to treat winter diseases in summer.

In health care, there is often a saying that "winter diseases are treated in summer". Experts remind that now is the best time to treat chronic diseases that occur every winter, such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, bronchial asthma, diarrhea, rheumatism and other yang deficiency syndromes. Friends with the above-mentioned chronic diseases, especially in summer, should be carefully nursed back to health, focusing on prevention and treatment.
