Summer solstice health care focuses on protecting Yang Qi
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the summer solstice is the time when Yang Qi is the most vigorous. Yang Qi reaches its peak on this day, and Yin Qi begins to grow from this day. Health preservation should follow the nature's nature. On the one hand, it should protect Yang Qi, not let it too much and cause fire. On the other hand, it should nourish yin, regulate breath and maintain heart.
What to do: calm down and regulate your mind
According to the theory of five elements of traditional Chinese medicine, summer is the season of nourishing the heart. Ji Kang, a famous cardiologist of the Three Kingdoms, believes that summer is hot, so it's better to regulate and calm your mind. It should always be like ice and snow in your heart, that is, calm your mind and cool it naturally. Listening to slow music is a good way to regulate your breath. The notes in the music also contain the elements of yin and Yang and five elements. In contrast to the fast-paced music, which can enhance the Yang Qi in the body and help people to get excited, soothing music can help slow down breathing and rest the heart.
Summer solstice health care
1. It is better to stay up late and get up early in summer.
2. It's important to sleep at noon.
The temperature is high at noon after the summer solstice, which can be used to supplement the lack of sleep at night. The afternoon nap in summer can reduce the incidence of cerebral hemorrhage and coronary heart disease.
3. The air conditioning temperature for sleeping at night should not be too low.
In summer, it's hot and easy to be attacked by wind, cold and dampness. When sleeping, it's not suitable for fan type air supply. For air-conditioned rooms, the indoor and outdoor temperature difference should not be too large, let alone sleeping in the night.
Summer solstice health exercise
Do not exercise too hard
1. Take a walk, jog, Taijiquan and radio exercise as exercise items;
2. Exercise time: choose a cool day in the morning or evening, at the edge of rivers and lakes, parks and yards and other places with fresh air.
3. In the process of exercise and after exercise, you can drink light salt boiled water and mung bean soup. You are not allowed to drink a lot of cold drinks to avoid gastrointestinal spasm. After exercise, you should take a rest and then take a bath with warm water. Do not use cold water to rush or shower immediately, so as to avoid the sudden contraction of the expanded blood vessels on the body surface damaging the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system. Cold water stimulates the expansion of pores to contract suddenly, and the body's heat can not be emitted, which is also prone to heatstroke.
4. Taking a bath with warm water every day is also a fitness measure worth advocating. It can not only wash off sweat and dirt, make skin clean and cool, relieve heat and prevent diseases, but also exercise the body.
Summer solstice healthy diet
1. The summer solstice diet should be bitter
Diet, there is summer when the heart fire, heart fire over Wang Zeke lung gold said, more food can help the heart and make lung qi.
2. Do not eat more cold food
In summer, the heart is strong and the kidney is weak, that is to say, it is hot outside and cold inside. Because it is hot outside and cold inside, it is not suitable to eat more cold food. If you eat more, it will hurt the spleen and stomach and make you vomit. Watermelon, mung bean soup, Wumei and Xiaodou soup, which are good for quenching thirst and summer heat in summer, are not suitable for ice.
3. Eat more alkaline food
The metabolism of human body is exuberant in summer, and the acid waste produced in the body is more than that in winter and spring, so we need to pay special attention to: eat more alkaline food to ensure the normal alkalescence of human body. The alkaline food here does not mean that its pH value is alkaline, but it is alkaline after catabolism in human body. For example, fruit contains fruit acid, which is acidic, but it is alkaline after decomposition in human body, which is the alkaline food we need.
4. It can eat the hot food
The summer solstice is very strange. Although the weather is very hot and the Yang is very strong, in the ancient regimen, it can eat dog meat, which is such a big hot thing. Because fishy is mainly dispersive and not greasy, it can release the heat after eating, in addition, it can play the effect of Tonifying the heat and Yang.
5. Light food to prevent summer
Traditional Chinese medicine will often appear in summer gastrointestinal discomfort, fatigue, dizziness and headache and other symptoms collectively referred to as "summer resistance.". Summer solstice is the second important stage besides summer beginning. The diet should adopt light tonic ingredients, and eat more winter melon, radish, cucumber, balsam pear, black fungus, laver, freshwater fish, which is conducive to nourishing the stomach, maintaining a sound gastrointestinal function, and reducing summer resistance symptoms.
6. Make up water timely and correctly
In summer, the temperature is high, the sweat secretion of human body is exuberant, and the water loss is relatively large, so we must supplement the water in time. However, it is not enough to replenish water in time. We need to pay attention to the word "correct". Experts pointed out that the mineral water meeting the health standards is an ideal source of water supplement in summer. In addition to supplementing the water content lost by tissue cells, it can also supplement some inorganic salt minerals lost with sweat discharge to the human body, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
7. Pay attention to protein supplement
When it's hot, you often have a bad appetite, especially for fatty foods. But sweat will lose a lot of water, protein, minerals, vitamins, etc. will also lose water with sweat. At the same time, the absorption rate of protein in human body decreases in high temperature weather, and the decomposition speed is accelerated, so it is necessary to pay attention to supplement protein.
In summer, it's hot and easy to be attacked by wind, cold and dampness. When sleeping, it's not suitable for fan type air supply. For air-conditioned rooms, the indoor and outdoor temperature difference should not be too large, let alone sleeping in the night.
Health care: stomach and intestines, more picky in summer
Summer arrived, night call on three or five friends, eat barbecue, drink beer, chat, it is better than living immortal. However, our intestines and stomachs are very 'picky'. If we don't eat well in summer, we are more likely to be 'injured', so we should eat according to our intestines and stomachs' preferences.
Be fond of the new and tired of the old
The temperature is high in summer, and the food is easy to breed bacteria. The intestines and stomach are fond of new and old food. And eating leftovers that are not well preserved is likely to cause diarrhea. It is suggested that the food be cooked and eaten now, and it is better not to leave any leftovers. Know before you cook. Don't do too much. If the food is left occasionally, pasta and meat can be put into the refrigerator in time after cooling thoroughly, and vegetables and seafood should not be left. People who like salted vegetables and pickles should pay attention to it. It is suggested to buy small packages that can be eaten in one or two days. After the big packages are opened, they should be put into the refrigerator in time and thrown away if they can't finish eating in three days. Of course, it is recommended to eat less or no pickles.
Warm and cool
On a hot day, take a big sip of iced drink, beer, and an ice stick. It's comfortable from head to toe. However, the stomach doesn't like a cold diet. In particular, many people after exercise or sweating, suddenly pouring a belly of ice water, it is likely that soon began to stomach pain, diarrhea, and even fever. Therefore, it is recommended to drink warm drinks in summer, such as cold boiled water at normal temperature, slightly cool tea, etc., and try not to drink sweet drinks. Popsicles and ice-cream can be eaten moderately, but not when the body is particularly hot, but when the sweat is gone. Frozen watermelon is also the favorite of people in summer. It is recommended not to freeze it too cold, let alone put it in the freezer to avoid gastrointestinal injury.
