Health preservation methods under high temperature in summer
First, daily life: anti-glare, heatstroke prevention and cooling, anti-yin and heatstroke prevention.
Summer is hot and humid, so we should pay attention to three defenses in daily life: anti-glare, anti-heatstroke and anti-occlusion.
1, heatstroke prevention and moisture prevention
Before and after the midsummer solar term, the ground temperature is the highest in a year. In many places, the temperature will be higher than 40 degrees Celsius, and there will be more rainfall. Rain will be transpiration by high temperature, and the atmosphere will be dense. Old people and children, patients with hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases need special attention in daily life. Try to avoid outdoor activities at noon and afternoon when the temperature is the highest, avoid too intense exercise in the morning and evening, and take more walks, do exercises and other soothing ways.
2. 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 solar dermatitis has gradually increased. Sun protection is not only a patent for beauty, but also a problem that the elderly, children and fair-skinned people need to pay attention to. Try to avoid direct sunlight when going out. Even if you go out on a foggy day or cloudy day, you can apply sunscreen products to protect yourself from the sun. Sunburn can be peeled with fresh aloe, and the juice can be applied to the affected area. After ten minutes, rinse with clear water.
3. Anti-yin and heatstroke prevention
Because of the hot and humid weather, people tend to be greedy for cold and drink cold. If you are in a state of air conditioning or overeating for a long time, summer heat combined with wind and cold will easily lead to headache, sore throat, physical pain and fatigue, abdominal distension and diarrhea. It is not advisable to stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time and have proper ventilation. Especially after sweating, when the pores are wide open, it is necessary to avoid cold air from entering the body directly.
Due to the long summer, the high temperature at night is easy to cause shallow sleep, and it is necessary to make up for sleep briefly during the day. Don't sleep for more than 20 minutes in the afternoon or afternoon. If it takes too long, it should slow down the blood circulation and make you feel more tired after waking up.
Second, diet: the number of spleen and dampness is the first.
Excessive external dampness in summer should lead to stagnation of spleen and stomach qi and poor operation, so strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness is the first thing. Should eat more whole grains, lotus seeds, yam, coix seed, poria cocos, white lentils and other things to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness. Milk and cold meat such as ducks, pigeons and turtles are also suitable for this festival.
To clear away heat and relieve summer heat, you can eat cold foods such as mung bean soup and bitter gourd, but those with spleen deficiency and dampness should not take them, so as not to damage spleen yang and aggravate internal dampness.
Seasonal fruits in summer, such as litchi, mango and watermelon. Most of them are high in sugar and calories, and should be taken in moderation to supplement the energy consumed by hot and humid weather itself, but it is not advisable to eat more and increase the burden on the spleen and stomach.
Many people like to barbecue cold beer on summer nights, which is a common cause of spleen and stomach damage. People with spleen and stomach deficiency should be especially cautious.
Sour plum soup is also a good summer product, but dark plum is a sour product. Self-made sour plum soup should be supplemented with dried tangerine peel and other products to nourish body fluid and prevent moisture from stopping gathering.
Third, nourish the heart: avoid thinking and worrying.
In summer, the spleen and stomach are in season, and the spleen hides meaning and thinks about it. "Soul Pivot itself" says: "Therefore, those who serve things are called the heart, and the heart has the meaning of recall. What they mean is ambition, what they mean is the thought that comes from will, the thought that comes from long-term attention, and the wisdom that comes from attention. "
Thinking too much is easy to hurt your temper, spleen deficiency can't hide your feelings, and people are easy to recall the past and regret themselves, leading to depression or aggravating the original depression.
Pay more attention to the present during the summer heat. If you have a lot of troubles, you might as well dump them outside, or communicate with others, or write them down on paper to avoid troubles and sadness. You can listen to relaxing music more, and when the temperature is right, you can take a breath more in the morning and evening than walking outdoors.
Fourth, acupoint health care: massage or moxibustion
You can choose the original points of the spleen and stomach meridian: Taichong and Taibai, which can nourish the soil; Moxibustion: Zhangmen, Zhongwan, massage or moxibustion can be used.
Pay attention to glare prevention, heatstroke prevention, moisture prevention, and shade prevention. Diet should strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, and massage or moxibustion can also be used.
Eliminating dampness is the key to health preservation in summer.
1. Foods that nourish qi and yin are essential.
It's very hot in summer, sweating a lot, and it's easy to consume gas and hurt yin. People at this time are often "three-point nihilism." Therefore, they should not only replenish water in time, but also often eat some light foods that benefit qi and nourish yin to enhance their physique. Such as yam, jujube, sea cucumber, eggs, milk, honey, lotus root, fungus, soybean milk, lily porridge, chrysanthemum porridge and so on.
Step 2 eat more bitter food
Bitter food can not only clear away heat, but also relieve summer heat and fatigue. Therefore, eating bitter foods such as bitter gourd, bitter vegetable and bitter buckwheat in summer can strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite, not only keep the evil of damp heat away from you, but also prevent heatstroke, killing two birds with one stone. In addition, bitter food can also make people feel refreshed and relaxed, which is conducive to restoring energy and physical strength in hot summer, and alleviating or eliminating discomfort such as general fatigue and listlessness.
3. Increase the food intake of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, invigorating spleen and promoting diuresis.
Mung bean soup is a traditional folk food for relieving summer heat in China, and it can be safely eaten by people with deficiency of spleen and stomach and physical weakness. In addition, lotus leaves, watermelons, lotus seeds and wax gourd also have good effects of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. Lentils and coix seed have a good spleen-strengthening effect and are the best food for patients with spleen deficiency in summer.
Protein needs sufficient supply.
The high temperature in summer accelerates human metabolism and consumes high energy. Therefore, the supply of protein must be appropriately increased, and the daily intake should be 100g- 120g. Plant protein can be obtained from bean products, and animal protein should be eaten properly besides dairy products, such as chicken, duck, lean meat, pigeons and other flat or cold meat products.
Duck meat is rich in protein, which can timely supplement the excessive consumption caused by high temperature in summer. Moreover, duck is a kind of cool waterfowl, which has the functions of nourishing yin and stomach, invigorating spleen and tonifying deficiency, and promoting diuresis, and is especially suitable for people who are suffering from summer, excessive internal heat and body heat. When eating duck meat, it is best to stew it, or you can add lotus root, wax gourd and other vegetables to make soup, which can supplement nutrition with meat and vegetables, and also strengthen the spleen and nourish yin.
