202 1 Keeping healthy in dog days can prevent diseases.
Pay attention to removing moisture.
The weather is sultry, and bathing will be particularly frequent. People sit in air-conditioned rooms with wet hair, and don't even blow dry their hair when they sleep, which leads to "wet evil" invading the body unconsciously. In addition to avoiding such things, we can also help the body to get rid of dampness through food, such as coix seed, red beans and mung beans. In addition, bitter gourd, tomatoes and so on. It also has the effect of invigorating qi and removing fire.
Timely replenishment of water
Thirst is a hydration signal sent by the central nervous system when the body's water is out of balance and cells are dehydrated to a certain extent. Drinking water when you are thirsty is tantamount to watering the soil, which is not good for your health. Only by supplementing water in a planned way can the body not be short of water. In hot summer, many people will choose to drink ice water, which is actually unhealthy. Ice water is not good for gastrointestinal function, and drinking warm water is more beneficial, because it is especially helpful for the body to absorb and utilize, and it is more helpful for gastrointestinal digestion.
Prevent heatstroke
In hot weather, outdoor activities should be reduced to avoid long-term activities in high temperature environment. Generally speaking, it is not advisable to go out after 9 am or before 4 pm on sunny days.
Eat ginger properly
"Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer", now is the best time to eat ginger. Many people usually don't like ginger, so they drink ginger soup. At least it will taste milder. Remember, ginger tea must be drunk while it is hot.
Eat less cold drinks
Eating a proper amount of cold drinks in summer can indeed reduce the calories in the body, but eating too many cold drinks will cause symptoms of stomach discomfort, leading to excessive cold in the body and inhibiting the growth of yang. Therefore, in summer, we should try to eat less cold drinks, write more warm foods and avoid eating, so as to prevent the symptoms of cold and fever in summer.
Science lunch break
You should stay up late and get up early in dog days, but staying up late is not staying up late. It is best to fall asleep before 24 o'clock. Because of the hot weather, sleep will be affected to some extent. It is suggested that taking a nap can also effectively prevent the occurrence of heart diseases such as coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction if conditions permit.
Suggestion: Take a nap 15-30 minutes. After a nap, you can do some exercise and drink a glass of water to dilute the blood viscosity.
Moderate exercise
People often say that "summer training" can't be exercised by everyone regardless of time, place and occasion.
Medical research shows that people will sweat when the temperature exceeds 35℃, the sunshine exceeds 12 hours and the humidity is higher than 80% in summer. Moreover, the emotional regulation center will be obviously affected, and people will be easily agitated.
At this time, the practice method is simple: sit up, close your eyes and swallow. This is a good method.
Regulating emotion
On hot days, people are prone to signs of "emotional heatstroke" such as being upset and listless. Sit still, water flowers, read books, listen to music, etc. All help to relieve irritability.
