What should I pay attention to when eating in summer?
Summer solar terms
1, don't blow the air conditioner for a long time.
It's hot in summer, and going out is exposure. Air-conditioned rooms have become people's favorite places to stay. People who are greedy for cold always turn on the air conditioner very low, especially when they come back from outside. It is very hot in summer, and our pores are all open. If we blow the air conditioner immediately after sweating, it will damage our yang. In order to protect your health, turn on the air conditioner less in summer, and the air conditioner temperature should not be too low. It is best to control it above 26 degrees, and it is best to adjust it to 27 degrees when sleeping. When white-collar workers go to work, it is best to wear a small coat or shawl in an air-conditioned room to protect their shoulders, neck, waist and abdomen from catching cold.
2. Don't eat frozen fruit.
There are many fruits in summer, and people like watermelon best. Watermelon has the functions of diuresis and detoxification, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, and clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. People who eat watermelon in summer like to put it in the refrigerator before eating, which makes it more refreshing. But eating watermelon frozen in the refrigerator is easy to damage the spleen and stomach, and it also hurts the yang.
Don't drink a lot of cold drinks.
In summer, besides eating iced watermelons, people also like to drink cold drinks. All kinds of drinks and ice cream have become people's favorite. Men also like to put beer in the refrigerator and then drink it. However, drinking too much of these cold drinks will hinder the yang in the body and damage the yang, leading to illness, such as sore throat and abdominal pain. In summer, people like to drink iced mung bean soup. Mung bean soup is indeed a cool drink to relieve summer heat, but you should also drink less iced mung bean soup, especially for people with spleen deficiency.
4. Don't drink too much herbal tea.
Drinking herbal tea in summer is the simplest way to cool off the heat. We especially like to drink herbal tea when we barbecue here, but we should remind you that herbal tea is good, but it can't be drunk in large quantities for a long time. Herbal tea is cold, and long-term drinking will damage the yang.
5. Don't stay up late for a long time
The peak of human yang is from 1 1 to 3 am. If you don't fall asleep at this time and stay up late, it will affect the growth of yang in the body and the health of the liver. Therefore, be careful not to stay up late in summer, and you'd better fall asleep before 1 1.
