The solstice in summer is cloudy.
Myth 1: Drink ice to quench thirst, and it is the favorite in summer.
The weather is so hot, iced soda and iced milk tea have instantly become the darling of this season. It is recommended that you drink as little as possible in hot days ~ because the sugar and electrolyte in it will stimulate the stomach and affect digestion and appetite, and too much sugar intake will increase the body's calories and make people obese. So try to drink more boiled water ~ ~
Myth 2: The more you practice in the morning, the better the air.
Many people think that the earlier you do morning exercises in summer, the better. In fact, the air is not fresh before dawn or when it is foggy, which is not conducive to fitness. According to experts' research, before 6 o'clock in the summer morning, pollutants in the air are the most difficult to spread, which is the peak of pollution. In addition, before sunrise, there was not much fresh oxygen around the green plants because there was no photosynthesis. So if you want to do morning exercises, go out after 6 o'clock!
Myth 3: Refrigerated watermelons can cool off the heat better.
Although iced watermelon is sweet and cold, it is not good for human health. Because when eating frozen watermelon, the salivary glands, tongue taste nerves and periodontal nerves in the mouth will be paralyzed by cold stimulation, which makes it difficult for people to taste the sweetness of watermelon and hurt the spleen and stomach. Children's digestive ability is poor, and eating frozen watermelons can also cause anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms. So it is ok to refrigerate watermelon, but it is best to take it out at room temperature before eating it ~
Myth 4: Light clothes are cooler than dark clothes.
Many people think that dark clothes will absorb heat, so they choose to wear light clothes such as white in summer, but some experts point out that wearing red clothes in summer has the best sun protection effect, because red light waves have the longest spectrum in light and can absorb a lot of ultraviolet rays in sunlight. In addition, wearing black clothes indoors or on cloudy days can speed up the heat loss on the skin surface and make people feel cool.
Myth 5: Mung bean soup can relieve summer heat, so when drinking water.
Mung beans are cold and sweet. Although it has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, relieving summer heat and quenching thirst, it is best not to drink too much for people with weak constitution such as cold hands and feet, abdominal distension and diarrhea. You can choose to cook mung bean porridge, which is a slightly milder way to eat.
Myth 6: It's cooler to wear less sleeping mats.
On summer nights, many people wander around the street with bare arms or sleep with air conditioning on all night. They even think it's too hot to lie in bed, so they simply put a mat on the floor. These common behaviors can easily make the body cold and damage the yang. In summer, when people sleep, their basal metabolism slows down, their thermoregulatory function declines, and their body resistance weakens. At this time, turning on the air conditioner and sleeping on the floor will make it easier for cold pathogens to enter the body, so don't blindly pursue coolness.
Have you remembered all the above six misunderstandings? These habits that we are used to in our daily life should be gradually changed as far as possible when the summer solstice comes, so that we can spend the summer healthily ~
At the same time, you can eat more bitter gourd in summer to reduce the heat, or add a little potassium, because a lot of sweating in summer will take away some potassium ions. If you don't add it in time, your body will feel tired and lose appetite.
