How to protect the normal function of stomach and intestines in summer?
It is very hot in summer, but people often have diarrhea, which is often accompanied by vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, chills, headache or joint pain all over the body. This is the seasonal disease in summer-gastrointestinal cold! Gastrointestinal cold is also called gastrointestinal cold. As the name implies, it is composed of gastrointestinal symptoms and cold symptoms. Among them, vomiting and diarrhea are manifested as vomiting immediately after eating, and diarrhea after sudden severe abdominal pain is like watery stool, commonly known as "thin arrow shaft"; At the same time accompanied by fever, headache, chills and even joint pain and other cold symptoms. Why is gastrointestinal cold a "patent" in summer? This is because, in the hot summer, the sun be the spirit is strong, and it spreads outward and upward. In order to adapt to this hot weather, the sweat pores on the skin surface are like small windows that are opened, sweating and dissipating heat, which is what Chinese medicine calls "yang in the exterior". Sweat is a part of body fluids, and a large amount of sweat is lost, which also takes away the heat in the body, leading to body fluids, especially the gastrointestinal tract. Such a contradictory state of imbalance between yin and yang constitutes the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal cold. If you catch up with sweating, you will sneak into a cold room with the air conditioner on. As a result, the sweat hole suddenly closes and the small window loses the function of radiating body heat. Then the heat pathogen will be suppressed, resulting in headache, systemic pain, cough, sneezing and even a high fever in summer. At the same time, if people eat too many cold drinks, draft beers and unclean food, then external factors will work through internal factors, and diarrhea is natural! Obviously, the above-mentioned "exogenous diseases" and "internal injuries" often appear at the same time in summer. Therefore, gastrointestinal cold with diarrhea and cold has become a patent for seasonal diseases in summer! Traditional Chinese medicine treats gastrointestinal cold on the principle of relieving exterior syndrome, clearing away heat and eliminating dampness by fragrance. Huoxiang Zhengqi Powder is a good method to treat gastrointestinal cold in summer. It has been made into oral liquid or soft capsule preparation, which is very convenient to take and carry. If you see infection and severe dehydration, you can add antibiotics and intravenous fluids. In summer, the climate is hot, and great changes have taken place in the environment and body. At this time, it is particularly important to maintain the gastrointestinal tract in daily life. Life should be regular, work and rest should be combined, and sleep should be adequate. Reason: Scientific research has proved that irregular life, overwork and lack of sleep will reduce the body's immunity and easily cause gastrointestinal dysfunction. Pay attention to food hygiene and don't eat spoiled food; Vegetables are best cooked; Wash and peel the melons and vegetables with clear water. Don't eat the cut melons and vegetables on the stall. Reason: The weather is hot, the bacterial reproduction is accelerated, and the food itself is easy to deteriorate due to the rising temperature, especially foods with high protein content such as milk, meat and eggs, which are more prone to decay and produce some substances harmful to the digestive tract; Incomplete cleaning of vegetables and fruits will not only attach a lot of bacteria, but also may leave pesticides. In this regard, it is necessary to do a good job in environmental sanitation, eliminate vectors such as flies and cockroaches, and protect food stored for a short time. Summer diet should be light, less greasy, and eat more fruits and vegetables. Reason: greasy and indigestible food will increase the workload of gastrointestinal tract. Vegetables and fruits are alkaline foods, and their metabolites are easily excreted, which will not increase the burden on the kidneys, but also supplement various ions needed in the body, such as potassium and vitamins.
