how to spend the hot summer healthily with scorching sun and geothermal transpiration in summer? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that health preservation in summer focuses on “nourishing yang”. In warm summer, human Yang Qi is active, and Yin fluid is easy to be consumed and injured with sweat leakage. People pay more attention to the maintenance of Yin fluid and often ignore the maintenance of Yang Qi. Summer heat makes the human body open and vent. In addition, enjoying the cool and drinking cold is easy to damage Yang Qi. How can we raise Yang in summer?
spirit adjustment
summer health preservation focuses on spirit adjustment, maintaining a happy and stable mood, and avoid great sorrow and joy, so as not to use heat to help heat and add fuel to the fire. The purpose of nourishing yang can be achieved by calming the mind and cooling the body.
skillful exercise
it is appropriate to exercise muscles and bones, regulate qi and blood and maintain Yang Qi through beneficial recreational and sports activities. Exercise step by step, strictly control the amount of exercise, and don’t be too tired.
be careful with your daily life
in summer, everything in nature grows vigorously, and your daily life should also be adjusted accordingly, such as getting up early in the morning, walking and jogging in a quiet outdoor place after washing, breathing fresh air and stretching the Yang of the human body.
take a nap
the heat dissipation of the human body is large at noon and sleepy after lunch. Through a short nap, you can avoid the peak of heatstroke and supplement the lack of sleep at night.
don’t be greedy for the cold
the elderly who are weak have insufficient Yang. If they blow against the electric fan for a long time or live in the air-conditioned room for a long time, they will feel dizziness, brain swelling, limb fatigue and mental sleepiness, which is more likely to lead to colds and other diseases.
diet
the weather is warm and hot in summer. Pay attention to diet regulation. Don’t eat after extreme hunger. Don’t eat too full. Also avoid drinking after being very thirsty. Don’t drink too much. You should also eat fruits and cold drinks carefully to avoid damaging the Yang Qi of the spleen and stomach. People with deficiency of Yang in vegetarian body often eat foods that replenish qi and warm yang, such as quarry, jujube and walnut kernel, which can often receive the effect of replenishing qi and strengthening yang.
poisoning prevention
bacteria multiply rapidly in midsummer, and 70% of food poisoning occurs in summer. The elderly and children have weak gastrointestinal function and poor resistance. They are prone to dehydration and life-threatening after onset, so prevention should be done well.
