Diet: first of spleen strengthening and dampness reducing
In summer, excessive external dampness should cause stagnation of spleen and stomach qi and poor operation, so invigorating the spleen and eliminating dampness is the first priority. It is suitable to eat more grains, lotus seeds, yams, job's tears, Poria cocos, lentils, etc. Milk and cool meat such as duck, pigeon and turtle are also suitable for this festival.
Qinghua hot summer, can eat mung bean soup, balsam pear and other cool food, but the original spleen deficiency and dampness of people should not be taken to avoid injury to the spleen yang, increase the internal humidity.
In summer, seasonal fruits such as litchi, mango, watermelon, etc. are mostly high in sugar and heat, so it is advisable to take them appropriately to supplement the energy consumed in hot and humid weather, but not to eat more, which will increase the burden on the spleen and stomach.
Many people like to barbecue ice beer at night in summer, which is a common cause of spleen and stomach injury. People who originally had insufficient spleen and stomach should be cautious.
Sour plum soup is also the best in summer, but black plum is the astringent and astringent product. The self-made sour plum soup should be added with orange peel and other Qi moving products to nourish the body fluid and prevent the accumulation of moisture at the same time.
Daily life: prevent strong light, heat dampness and sunstroke
Anti glare: with the change of atmospheric environment, the intensity of ultraviolet rays is getting higher and higher. In recent years, the number of patients with sun dermatitis is also increasing. Sun protection is not only the patent of beauty lady, but also the problem that the elderly, children and people with fair skin need to pay attention to. Try to avoid direct sunlight when going out. Even when going out in haze or cloudy days, you can also apply sunscreen to protect the sun. For the sunburn, you can use fresh aloe to remove the skin, take the juice to smear the affected area, and then rinse it with clear water ten minutes later.
Heatstroke prevention: before and after the solar term of great heat stroke, it is the season with the highest ground temperature in the year. In many places, the temperature will be higher than 40 ℃, and there will be more rainfall. The rain will be transpiration by the high temperature, and the dense air will be filled. The elderly, children, people with high blood pressure, and people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases need to pay special attention to daily life. Try to avoid outdoor activities at noon and in the afternoon when the temperature is the highest. Exercise in the morning and evening should not be too intense. Take a walk, do exercises and other soothing ways.
Prevention of yin and summer heat: due to the hot and humid weather, people are easy to drink cold and drink cold, suffer from air conditioning or over eating cold for a long time, and the heat of summer combined with the wind and cold will easily cause headache, sore throat, body pain and fatigue, abdominal distention and diarrhea. It is not suitable to live in an air-conditioned room for a long time, with proper ventilation. Especially after sweating, when the pores are wide open, the air conditioner should be avoided to enter the air conditioner.
Due to the long days in summer, the high temperature at night is easy to cause shallow sleep, sleepiness and fatigue during the day. It is necessary to take advantage of the short-term sleep during the day. The nap in the afternoon or afternoon should not exceed 20 minutes. If it is too long, it is appropriate to slow down the movement of Qi and blood, and feel more tired and tired after waking up.
Nourishing the mind: to avoid thoughts and worries
The spleen and stomach should be ordered in the summer heat, and the spleen should be stored in the mind. "Spiritual pivot & middot; the God" said: 'so the mind is the mind of any thing, the mind has the meaning of remembering, the will of the meaning, the thought of changing because of the will, the thought of foresight because of the thought, and the wisdom of the thing because of the consideration'.
More thinking and more worry can easily damage one's temper. Spleen deficiency can't hide one's mind. One can easily recall the past events and regret self accusation, which leads to depression or aggravation of original depression.
In the summer, it is better to pay more attention to the current things. If there is a lot of thinking, it is better to pour it out, or communicate with others, or secretary it on paper, so as to avoid thinking and melancholy. Can listen to relaxed music, in the morning and evening when the temperature is appropriate more than outdoor walking breath.

The original points of the two meridians of the spleen and stomach can be selected: Taichong and Taibai, which are the source of Qi for cultivating and nourishing the earth; and Mu points: zhangmen and Zhongwan, which can be massaged or moxibustion.
Prevent heatstroke
According to the theory of "correspondence between man and nature" in traditional Chinese medicine, climate change will cause physiological and psychological changes in human body. In the summer heat season, people are easily moved by "heat", which will cause upset, listless, disordered thinking and other abnormal states. This is caused by "emotional heatstroke". Modern medicine believes that human nerve cells are highly sensitive to the changes of weather elements such as temperature, air pressure and humidity in summer. High temperature climate will affect the emotion regulation function of human body, and then affect the nerve activity of brain and the hormone secretion of endocrine, resulting in a series of similar 'heatstroke' symptoms.
In case of signs of heatstroke such as obvious fatigue, dizziness and nausea, the patient should be moved to a ventilated place for rest immediately, and the patient should be given some light salt boiled water or mung bean soup, watermelon juice, sour plum soup, etc. People who work in high temperature or are prone to heatstroke can also eat some Huoxiang Zhengqi water properly in case of emergency.
In order to prevent 'emotional heatstroke', once the fire comes up, we can use psychological suggestion and 'psychological cool method' to adjust our emotions.
Porridge for water supply
In the solar term of great summer, the most important thing is to replenish water. At this time, drinking porridge can replenish qi, clear heat, strengthen spleen and nourish stomach.
Li Shizhen once said, "every day, you can eat a large bowl of porridge, which is empty in the stomach, and the valley Qi can be made. It can't be replenished carefully, and it's very soft and greasy. It's the best way to eat with your stomach. "Du summer porridge" is usually made of rice, mung bean, coix seed, red bean, pumpkin and other grains which can strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach. It is supplemented by lily, lotus root, cucumber, winter melon, watermelon, bean sprout, winter mushroom, laver, tomato and other cold, clear and hot fruits and vegetables. It is cooked with meat products such as chicken, duck, lean pork, pigeon and so on, which are cool, nourishing the Yin and nourishing the blood.
The so-called "all things are born to support the people". During the summer, you should also eat more towel gourd, broccoli, eggplant and other seasonal vegetables. Huai yam has the functions of invigorating the spleen, stomach, Qi and kidney. Eating more Huai yam can promote digestion, improve the soreness of the waist and knees, and make people energetic.

Sunstroke is the season with the most Yang Qi in the whole year. There is often a saying of "cure in winter and cure in summer" in health care. Therefore, for those chronic diseases that attack in winter, such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, bronchial asthma, diarrhea, rheumatic arthralgia and other Yang deficiency syndromes, it is the best time to treat them.
