Daily lifeFrom the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine theory, the human body's Yang energy is strong during the Lesser Heat, and this Yang energy has the function of protecting the body surface and resisting external pathogens. Only by protecting one's own Yang energy can the human body remain healthy. The climate is hot during the Lesser Heat period and the human body consumes a lot of energy. At this time, it is advisable to follow the health-preserving principle of "less movement and more rest" to avoid excessive leakage of Yang energy. Your daily routine should be regular. In addition to ensuring adequate sleep, you should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest. When exercising, you must control the intensity and avoid excessive intensity. 2. Diet As the saying goes, "The heat is in the three dog days." The Lesser Heat solar term is just around the first dog days, so we should pay attention to clearing away heat and dispelling summer heat in our diet. We should eat more soups or porridge made with lotus leaves, wild yam, lentils, coix seeds, Poria cocos, Alisma orientalis and other ingredients, and eat more vegetables and fruits such as watermelon, cucumber, loofah, and winter melon. 3. Exercise During the Lesser Heat season, you should avoid exercising too intensely. You can choose to take a walk, do Tai Chi, or do other exercises in the morning or evening, or you can choose to swim, do yoga, or travel. No matter what kind of exercise you choose, you should be careful to avoid sweating profusely after exercise. Swimming is the most suitable sport for summer. Swimming during the Lesser Heat season can not only keep you fit, but also help you cool down. Because the thermal conductivity of water is many times greater than that of air, water can help the body dissipate heat faster when swimming, so people will feel cool and comfortable. Swimming can prevent and treat cervical and lumbar diseases, enhance cardiopulmonary function, and improve the body's immunity. What are the key points of health preservation?1. DietThe weather is hot and humid during the Lesser Heat period, and many people will feel anorexia. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone's diet should be light as much as possible during the Lesser Heat season. The most important thing is to pay attention to balanced nutrition, because the heat makes people's metabolic ability relatively worse. Every nutrient must be consumed in moderation. Avoiding meat for the sake of a light diet will only reduce one's ability to resist high temperatures and diseases. Moreover, in the hot summer, many people experience appetite discomfort, reduced digestive function, and are prone to symptoms such as fatigue, stomach discomfort, and some develop gastrointestinal diseases. Therefore, corresponding countermeasures must be taken for diet in hot summer. The diet should be light and nutritious, with the principles of clearing and nourishing, strengthening the spleen, and removing heat and dampness. 2. Sports Try to adjust the exercise time to the early morning or evening. The climate is hot during the Lesser Heat season, which makes people feel inexplicably irritable and have a decreased appetite. Heatstroke is a common disease in summer, and the weather characteristics during the Lesser Heat season make it even more likely to occur. Therefore, everyone must take precautions against heatstroke when going out, bring parasols, sun hats and other tools, drink plenty of water, and try to avoid going out when the afternoon sun is hot. 3. Sleep Summer is characterized by long daylight hours, early sunrises and late sunsets. Therefore, people's living and working schedules should be adjusted accordingly, and it is better to go to bed late and get up early. It is best to go to bed and wake up at regular times to protect your biological clock from being affected. Be sure to arrange your work and rest schedule according to your actual situation, ensure adequate sleep, and maintain the habit of taking a nap. |
