Second, hug the melon to sleep
Holding wax gourd to enjoy the cool is a folk law that has been circulating for a long time to cool off the summer. Wax gourd is used to cool down, which makes sense. The principle is that its water content is as high as 96%. It is cold because of its high water content. Wax gourd has high water content, which is beneficial to cooling, just like cooling with a water pillow. The skin of winter melon is cool, which has the function of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat.
Ye, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty, recorded in the book "Herbal Rejuvenation" that the skin of wax gourd has? Skimming, eliminating dampness and chasing wind, strengthening spleen and purging fire? The efficacy of. Why is it called wax gourd? Winter melon? Named for its white powder on its skin, it looks like winter frost, but literally, it also hides the meaning of coolness.
Although the method of cooling wax gourd is simple and practical, it is not suitable for everyone. If it is a hot constitution, cooling is no problem. If it is cold constitution, such as yang deficiency constitution, spleen and stomach weakness, pregnant women and the elderly, it is best not to use this method to cool down, so as not to be hurt by the cold of winter melon skin.
Third, drink a bowl of sour plum soup.
Sour plum soup is a traditional summer drink. In the hot season, it is feasible to drink chilled soup to eliminate blood stasis, promote fluid production to quench thirst, inhibit lung qi, eliminate troubles and soothe the nerves. In addition, sour plum contains a special kind of citric acid, which can effectively inhibit lactic acid. When you are tired in summer, drinking a cup of sour plum soup can play a good refreshing role and rejuvenate muscles and blood vessels.
The raw materials of sour plum soup are ebony, hawthorn, osmanthus, licorice and other materials. The ratio of enucleated ebony to hawthorn is 3: 2, and then a portion of licorice is prepared. After boiling water on high fire, turn to low fire and cook for about 40 minutes. Add appropriate amount of rock sugar to taste according to taste, and then take it out of the pot. Drinking it after cooling or refrigeration is very effective for relieving summer heat and stimulating appetite.
Fourth, the mentality is peaceful and natural.
Calm and natural. In order not to be impatient in the sultry summer, the key is to keep a calm heart, as the poet Bai Juyi said. How to spend the summer in a hospital? There is nothing in front of me but the breeze under the window. ? Of course, there are still many ways to cool off the heat: drink a cup of tea and watch the wind light and the clouds light; Find a touch of green and smell the birds and flowers; Soak in the fragrance of a room, and the spring breeze of ten miles will spread leisure in your own world.
When the weather is sultry, it can be effectively reduced to take part in social activities such as large-scale parties as little as possible and increase the time for a person to be alone or have a quiet rest? Emotional heatstroke? The probability of. When it is hot, try not to talk about topics that stimulate others, and choose topics that are relatively relaxed and pleasant. We should also pay attention to guiding children not to be too serious, to be open-minded and tolerant of others.
Five, the fan gently shaking
Feather fan shaking is a wise man's choice to cool off the heat. Although fan is? Antiques? But its fitness effect is unmatched by any cooling equipment. Shake the fan to exercise the limbs (shaking the fan with the left hand can activate the right brain, develop the potential of the right brain and prevent stroke accidents). At the same time, fans got the most comfortable wind.
Rocking fan is a kind of unilateral limb exercise, which can not only exercise the joint muscles of limbs, but also exercise the contraction and relaxation functions of cerebral vessels. The results showed that most stroke patients suffered from microvascular rupture and bleeding in the right hemisphere, while most middle-aged and elderly people suffered from brain atrophy in the left hemisphere. This is because most people are used to using their right hand for a long time, and their left hand exercises less, which leads to more exercise in the left hemisphere and less exercise in the right hemisphere. Therefore, you should consciously shake your left hand in summer. By strengthening the left hand movement, the right brain can be activated, the flexibility of the left limb and the atrophy of the body can be improved, the elasticity of the blood vessels in the right hemisphere can be enhanced, and the occurrence of cerebrovascular diseases can be reduced.
6. Mung bean soup is summer soup.
Mung beans are sweet and cool, which can clear gallbladder and nourish stomach, relieve summer heat and quench thirst. In the hot summer, mung bean porridge is an ideal summer-heat agent. It is best to directly boil mung bean soup with pure water. If not, add half a spoonful of white vinegar or squeeze half a spoonful of lemon juice into the water, but be careful not to add too much. The specific method is to boil water first, then add mung beans, cover and continue to cook for 8- 10 minutes. Pour out the clear soup, so that the boiled mung bean soup can remain green in the air for a long time, and the effect of relieving summer heat is good. The remaining beans can be boiled into green bean paste or cooked with rice into mung bean porridge.
What needs special reminder is that you must never use an iron pot to cook mung beans. Because iron can catalyze the oxidative decomposition of various vitamins, the tannin in mung bean skin reacts with iron at high temperature and becomes black iron tannin, which makes mung bean soup black and affects the detoxification effect of mung beans, which is harmful to human body. When cooking mung bean soup, you can use casserole, stainless steel pot or special saucepan.
daydream
It's too hot, you might as well sit and have a rest, close your eyes and take a nap. Research shows that the human body is right? Daydreaming? One of our reactions is to lower our body temperature. Do you need me to teach you? Who doesn't want to go to an island with fantastic scenery for a holiday in the sultry summer? You can imagine yourself lying under a coconut tree on the beach, staring at the blue sea in a daze, or jumping into the cool sea to swim.
Eight, take a hot bath
It's best to take a hot bath in summer. When people soak in warm water, the pores will open quickly and the heat in the body will be released. Through repeated soaking, the sweltering heat in the body can be completely eliminated and the symptoms can be cured. On the contrary, if people soak in cold water directly, the stimulated pores will close immediately. Although the skin will feel cool, the heat in the body can't be completely discharged, and it will still feel very hot after a while, which can't really cool down.
How to prevent heatstroke in hot weather 1. Diet: replenish water in time and avoid cold drinks.
The temperature is high in summer, and the human body volatilizes a lot of water. Everyone knows to replenish water in time, but thirsty people should avoid drinking too much water. Drinking water like this will make it difficult for the stomach to adapt and cause adverse consequences.
Summer is the season to eat cold drinks, but in fact, the colder you eat, the easier it is to get heatstroke. Because of the rapid drop of local temperature in human body, it will make human body unable to adapt to such rapid temperature change at once, and the digestive system will be affected, which will further affect the normal operation of various systems in the whole body and easily lead to heatstroke. Moreover, hot tea can help the human body to adjust the imbalance caused by high temperature, play the role of heating with heat, and is a good heatstroke prevention drink.
Eat more melons in summer, because most melons can clear away heat and promote diuresis, help eliminate toxins, and are good food for cooling and heatstroke prevention. For example: cucumber, towel gourd, bitter gourd, wax gourd and so on. They are foods with the highest water content, rich in minerals and vitamins, and can effectively replenish a lot of water lost in summer. At the same time, they contain almost no fat and have low energy, and most of them have the functions of lowering blood fat and blood sugar.
In addition to eating vegetables rich in vitamin C such as celery, lily, tomato and cucumber, you should also eat bitter food such as bitter gourd and turtle paste, which is helpful for diuresis, dampness elimination, anti-inflammation and fever reduction.
Second, heatstroke prevention and cooling: the protection work should be done, and the air conditioner should not be turned too low.
Pay attention to shading and cooling when going out, choose natural fabric clothes with good breathability and light texture, and don't go shirtless. It is best to wear loose long-sleeved trousers for a long time in the hot sun to avoid sunburn. Be prepared for sun protection when going out, wear sunglasses, a sun hat or use a sun umbrella.
Old people had better be accompanied by their families when they go out. 12 From noon to 2 pm, the sunshine is the most abundant, so try not to stay outdoors. Hot, sultry rooms and open spaces should try to avoid staying for a long time, which is easy to cause heatstroke.
When choosing sports, strenuous outdoor and daytime activities such as mountaineering are not recommended in summer, and sports activities such as swimming and jogging are recommended in the morning and evening. When exercising outdoors, you should prepare heatstroke prevention drugs, including: Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, Ten Drops of Water, Ren Dan, etc.
In addition, if you are in go on road trip, you must turn on the air conditioner and windows in the car before you leave, so that the air in the car can circulate, and then you can enter the car. Try not to close the window 3 minutes before you start walking, and give some time for the air in the car to come out.
Air conditioning is a good helper to cool down in summer, but don't set the air conditioning temperature too low. If the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is too large, it will also lead to heatstroke. Keep the room and office ventilated, but don't turn on the air conditioner and fan. The air conditioner should be kept above 26℃ during the day and 28℃ when sleeping.
In summer, physical strength loss is relatively faster under high temperature, so we should pay attention to reasonable arrangement of work and rest time to ensure adequate sleep. At noon, citizens with conditions can choose to take a break to replenish their physical strength, be careful not to overwork physical labor, and pay attention to slowing down outdoor work.
Third, heatstroke: first cool down and send it to the doctor as soon as possible.
In the scorching sun, if you feel dizziness, nausea, palpitation and other corresponding symptoms, it is probably heatstroke. At this point, you should immediately stop what you are doing and find a cool place to sit down and rest.
At the same time, it is necessary to replenish water in time, but don't drink it in big gulps, and drink it slowly in small sips so as not to increase the burden on the heart; Untie neckline, tie, belt and other accessories to keep the body ventilated; Apply or drink summer medicine; After a period of rest, if the symptoms do not decrease but increase, you should seek help and seek medical treatment in time.
For patients with heatstroke, the following four emergency measures can be taken:
1, quickly move the patient to a ventilated and cool place, let him lie flat, unbutton his clothes and raise his feet, which will help to increase blood supply to the patient's brain and play a role in heat dissipation.
2. Cover the patient's forehead with a cold towel, wipe the whole body with alcohol or cold water if possible, and then blow with a fan or electric fan to accelerate heat dissipation. However, we should pay attention to moderation. When the patient's body temperature drops below 38℃, forced cooling methods such as blowing and pouring cold water should be stopped.
3. Patients should add salt or baking soda to cool drinks, and don't drink coffee or alcoholic drinks. If the patient has lost consciousness, he can restore consciousness by pressing Renzhong and Hegu points.
4. Patients with severe heatstroke should be sent to hospital immediately for treatment.
Tips for heatstroke prevention and cooling First, open the doors and windows reasonably.
Many people think that when the temperature is high in summer, all doors and windows should be opened to cool down. In fact, this idea is wrong. For example, during the day, the outdoor temperature is much higher than the indoor temperature itself. At this time, if you open the doors and windows at home, the hot air outside will hit, which is not conducive to cooling down. So, if you can choose to open the window in the morning and evening, it will not only help the air circulation, but also help to remove the heat in the house? Drive away? And it can also let in cold air outside, so it is best not to open windows or draw curtains during the day, especially when the sun is too high, which is more helpful to cool down.
Second, greening.
If you can plant some plants in your yard, it will not only have high appreciation value, but also make the air fresher, especially some plants such as morning glory and grapes, which will play a role in cooling down.
Third, the fan.
Fans are good at cooling down. Keep a distance when blowing the fan, remember to be too close to the air outlet, and remember that the temperature is too low. If the indoor temperature is really too low, it is suggested that you put cold water in front of the fan, which will make the indoor water evaporate more easily, or wipe it clean with a wet rag before opening it, which will also make the temperature drop faster.
Fourth, the fan.
Fans are inexpensive, and hand-cranked cattail fans can also exercise the elderly.
Five, ice packs
Reusable ice pack is a good tool to reduce skin temperature, and the liquid pre-filled in it can cool down.
Sixth, choose a good pillow
A new type of liquid evaporative cooling pillow can provide a cool night.
Seven, cold water on the wrist
Wash the wrist with tap water for 5 seconds every few hours, because the wrist is where the arteries flow, which can lower the blood temperature.
Eight, massage Tianzhu point
Stick your thumb on Tianzhu point (at the hairline of the lateral edge of the neck muscle), stick your little finger and forefinger near the end of your eyes, then slowly tilt your head, press your thumb with the weight of your head and massage Tianzhu point. It can not only prevent heatstroke, but also improve heatstroke symptoms such as dizziness and tinnitus.
Nine, physical methods
① Wipe your body with a hot towel.
Take a bath with hot water and wash your feet with hot water. Many people think that cold water can cool down. In fact, although taking a bath with cold water can really make you comfortable for a while, you will find that your body will be hotter after a few minutes, because if you take a bath with hot water or wipe your body, you will sweat more, but it will help to open the fine blood vessels in your body, which is conducive to the discharge of heat from your body, thus cooling down regularly. Although taking a bath with hot water feels a little hot, it will help you cool down.
2 drink hot tea.
