It's better to carry out some 'low-key' exercises, which can not only have exercise effect, but also avoid discomfort. Three kinds of sports are better: 1.

Go to bed late and get up early
Sleeping late is not to encourage people to stay up late in summer, but to ask people to adapt to the characteristics of day and night changes in summer, and sleep time should not exceed 11 o'clock. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "spring is born and summer is long". In summer, the body's Yang Qi is in a strong state. If you often sleep late, it violates the seasonal change rule of the body's Yang Qi. Instead of getting rest, you feel more tired. So it's better to get up at six or seven in the summer. Siesta is good for balance of Qi and blood, can supplement physical strength and improve work efficiency in the afternoon. A healthy siesta is suitable for 30-60 minutes, and more than one hour is counterproductive, which may interfere with sleep at night.
Diet appetizers

Therefore, the food for nourishing qi and Yin is also indispensable. Yam, jujube, honey, lotus root and agaric are all good choices. In addition, chicken, duck, lean pork and other plain or cool meat products also have the effects of nourishing yin and stomach, strengthening spleen and tonifying deficiency.
Sit quietly and get rid of trouble
Medical research shows that when the temperature is more than 35 ℃, sunshine is more than 12 hours and humidity is more than 80% in summer, the emotional regulation center of human body will be significantly affected, and people are easily upset, and the anxiety index of the old in summer will be higher than that of the young.

Three dog days, the body is most afraid of six things
Cervical vertebra is most afraid of blowing
In hot weather, many families have air conditioners on for a long time. When the cervical vertebra blows against the air conditioner, the surrounding soft tissues will have pathological changes, forming chronic inflammation of muscles and subcutaneous tissues, causing continuous neck spasm, back pain and other consequences. It is suggested that the temperature of indoor air conditioner should not be lower than 25 ℃, and the shoulder and back should not face the air conditioner directly. If the temperature can't adjust itself, you can put a shawl on your shoulders and take a hot bath at night.
The stomach is most afraid of cold
In summer, ice cream, cold drinks and frozen fruits are cool to eat! But summer is also a high incidence period of intestinal diseases. Experts suggest that you should eat less too cold things in this season, especially when you get up in the morning and before you go to bed at night. In order to keep your stomach warm in time, when eating cold food, you may as well add some ginger or mustard to warm your stomach and kill bacteria.
The fastest way to drink water
Because of the high temperature, the speed of water shortage will be accelerated. Many people are used to drinking water with a big mouth. If drinking water too fast, water will quickly enter the blood, be absorbed in the intestines, make the blood thinner, increase the blood volume, the heart is not good, especially people with coronary heart disease will have chest tightness, shortness of breath and other symptoms, which may lead to myocardial infarction seriously.
The first thing to do in the morning
It's early morning in summer. Many people go to the park early to do morning exercises. In the early morning, after a night's metabolism, plants absorb oxygen and exhale a large amount of carbon dioxide, increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide in places where there are many trees, flowers and plants. Research shows that before 6 o'clock in the morning in summer, various harmful substances such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, etc. produced by coal burning and automobile exhaust emissions gather more in the air, which is the peak of pollution. Breathing these dirty air will have harmful effects on human body. Therefore, the morning exercise time in summer should not be earlier than 6 o'clock.
Therefore, you can't drink water too fast in summer. You need to drink it a few times. Only drink 100 ~ 150ml each time, the body absorbs better, and can't be greedy for cold. Warm water above 10 degrees is the best for the body.
The eyes are most afraid of the sun
In the hot sun, the eye is the most vulnerable organ. Experts remind that the eyes like cool and afraid of heat, do not pay attention to sunscreen, it is easy to age in advance, and cause various eye diseases. If you want to go out from 10am to 4pm, you'd better wear sunglasses, hat or sunshade. The color of sunglasses is tea and light green, which have the best anti ultraviolet effect; you can eat more eye-friendly food, such as osmanthus, yam, carrot, red dates, etc.; bacteria multiply fast in summer, and you can rub your eyes as little as possible; running water and washing your face can reduce eye diseases.
The family is most afraid of ashes
Summer is sultry and humid, which makes it easier for dust to adhere to the air and enter human skin and body. Because it is difficult to find by naked eyes, people often neglect to clean up, they float in the air for a long time, and attach to the surface of objects in large quantities, becoming the habitat of dust mites and mould spores in the air. These dirty things will take the opportunity to enter the respiratory system, and then cause asthma, rhinitis and other diseases. It is suggested to increase the frequency of cleaning in summer, once every two or three days.
Key points of diet and health preservation in dog days
Three volts should be light
It's hot in the dog days, so we'd better move closer to the light direction of our diet. We'd better choose those foods that clear our mind and eliminate fire, and stay away from greasy meat. Why?
As we have said before, three dog days will lead to anorexia. In fact, anorexia will also lead to the decline of digestive function of our intestines and stomachs. Those foods that can clear the heart and relieve summer heat will be recommended because they are easy to digest, but greasy meat is very difficult to digest. Our consumption of them will probably lead to the situation of stomach accumulation, so we are more light Less meat and fishiness is a health preserving point to remember in the dog days!
Tripod needs appetizer
On a hot dog day, our appetite often drops, which leads to our loss of appetite. This situation not only affects our working condition, but also causes our body to lose nutrition. How can we deal with the loss of appetite?
I don't know if you've heard a saying called "three dog days, dumplings, noodles, pancakes and eggs". In this hot weather, inappetence is a common phenomenon, and our dumplings are representative of appetizers. Of course, it has nothing to do with dumplings dipped in vinegar, so we can try some sour food in case of inappetence in the dog days to help us open our appetite!
Three volt nutrition should be comprehensive
We all know the above sentence. In fact, we can not only know from it that it's best to eat some acid food to help appetizer, but also know a piece of information, that is, we need to eat nutrition in the dog days to get through the heat better, because the hot gas in the dog days will cause us to sweat a lot, and the B vitamins and a lot of minerals in the body will be lost, So if we want to have a good health, we need to eat nutrition. We need to comfort our five viscera temple and help our body to replenish a large number of nutrients lost during the three dog days. The balanced nutrition in the pasta can help us not only to comfort the five viscera temple, but also to replenish all the missing substances in our body.
Protein supplement for three volt days
The same dog days will cause our body to lose a lot of protein, and if we don't supplement them, we will have many problems. So, it's an urgent thing to supplement protein. Don't you see the proverb that pancakes roll eggs? Chicken eggs are the best source of protein, which is a very obvious hint.
Three volts less spicy
It's extremely hot in the dog days. Our body is full of fire because of the influence of the weather. It's already very harmful. If we eat spicy food again, it's like adding oil to the fire. The more the fire inside our body burns, the more our health will be burned out. So the dog days are less spicy.
Tripod, sweet and cold
Three dog days, we drink a lot of water, drink a lot of cold drinks, it is easy to lead to the aggravation of the moisture in our body. In addition, even if the weather is hot, the moisture around us still hasn't subsided much, so it's easy for the bedtime to enter our body, which is what we often call "summer dampness". It's very harmful to our spleen.
However, we can deal with it by eating sweet cold or sweet cold fruits and food, so we can eat more sweet cold or sweet cold food, which can help us prevent some negative effects of 'summer dampness' on us!
