Summer health first raises the heart "(gourmet world? After entering the summer, the hot weather will affect people's recuperation, and there will be symptoms such as loss of appetite, dry throat and red eyes, and the number of patients with bacterial food poisoning will also increase significantly. Therefore, experts remind everyone to pay attention to health, especially to learn to raise "heart" in order to spend the summer safely. Peace of mind is conducive to the cultivation of "mind" The weather is hot in summer, the days are long and the nights are short, and the climate is dry. Chinese medicine believes that summer belongs to fire in the five elements, and the corresponding viscera is "heart". Therefore, Liu Yongye, chief physician of the Department of Internal Medicine of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Henan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that the key to keeping in good health in summer is to raise the "heart", but the "heart" mentioned by Chinese medicine does not just refer to the "heart", but the whole nervous system including the heart, and even mental and psychological factors. It's very hot in summer, so people are easily agitated. Therefore, mental health care can not be ignored. Maintaining a peaceful mind and a happy mood is conducive to reducing the excitability of sympathetic nerves, slowing down metabolism and relieving the feeling of dryness and heat. When you are depressed and upset, you might as well listen to soothing music and look at beautiful picture books. Indoor curtains and decorations should also be light-colored, so as to keep a good mood. Liu Yongye pointed out that adequate sleep is conducive to peace of mind. Therefore, in summer, we should go to bed late and get up early to adapt to the changes of yang excess and yin deficiency in nature, and at the same time, taking a nap to supplement lack of sleep can also effectively prevent the occurrence of heart diseases such as coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction. Usually take a nap after lunch 15~30 minutes. Because sitting and lying is not conducive to eliminating fatigue, it is appropriate to take a nap in prone position. The nap time should not be too long (one hour to one and a half hours is appropriate), and alcohol, coffee and strong tea should not be drunk before going to bed. Besides, many people still insist on exercising in summer. It should be noted that the amount of exercise in summer should not be too large or too intense. It is advisable to sweat a little after exercise to avoid excessive exercise and sweating. Drinking porridge properly helps to prevent dryness. Summer is the most vigorous season in a year, and the metabolism of the human body is also the most vigorous. As the summer climate is dry, windy and rainy, the human body is prone to symptoms such as dry throat, red eyes and pain, burning nasal cavity, chapped lips, dry stool, Huang Chi in urine, loss of appetite, insomnia and fatigue, palpitation and upset, and the elderly are also prone to stagnation of qi and blood. Therefore, summer diet conditioning is particularly important. Liu Yongye reminded that drinking porridge in summer can play the role of promoting fluid production to quench thirst, clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, conditioning the body and supplementing human moisture. Like lotus leaf porridge, it has the effects of clearing away heat, appetizing, relieving summer heat and promoting fluid production, moistening intestines and relaxing bowels; Longan porridge has the effects of nourishing heart, benefiting qi and nourishing heart yin; Mung bean porridge has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, relieving summer heat and quenching thirst, promoting diuresis and eliminating dampness. Lily porridge has the effects of clearing away lung heat, promoting blood circulation, moistening lung and calming nerves; Winter melon porridge is beneficial to water swelling, clearing away heat and promoting fluid production; Lotus porridge has the effect of invigorating spleen and eliminating dampness, and is suitable for summer consumption. Patients who have obvious symptoms of excessive internal heat and cannot be effectively relieved by dietotherapy can take Huanglian Shangqing Pill, Sanhuang Tablet, Niuhuang Shangqing Pill or Qingguo Pill under the guidance of a doctor, or 5 grams of raw rhubarb can be used as tea after soaking in water to clear the fire. If people feel dry throat and nasal cavity in the morning, they might as well use a humidifier or put a basin indoors to increase indoor humidity. Appropriate supplements of fruits and vegetables, meat, milk, eggs and fish make people sweat more in summer, and the function of spleen and stomach becomes worse. Therefore, the summer diet should be low in fat, low in salt and light, and eat more seasonal fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins such as tomatoes, green peppers, watermelons, melons, peaches and plums. Eat more soy products, mushrooms and fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement the potassium lost in the body. At the same time, we can't ignore the supplement of high-quality protein in summer. Lean meat, fish, eggs, milk and beans should be eaten properly, but the intake of spicy and warm foods such as mutton, pepper and chicken should be reduced. For babies with poor spleen and stomach function, you can eat acidic foods such as hawthorn cakes and hawthorn slices in moderation to stimulate your baby's appetite. As the weather is getting hotter and hotter, many people will eat some cold drinks to cool off the heat, but Chinese medicine believes that "nourishing yang in spring and summer", eating too much cold drinks will damage the yang in the body. Sun, deputy director of the Department of Gastroenterology, Henan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, reminded that the fruits and drinks just taken out of the refrigerator are too cold to be eaten immediately, so as to avoid low temperature stimulating gastrointestinal physiological dysfunction and causing abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, diarrhea and other discomfort symptoms. Children and the elderly with weak gastrointestinal function and people with a history of chronic gastritis and dyspepsia should be more vigilant. Good health!
