Keep a regular schedule and don’t stay up lateIt is very hot nowadays, which can easily consume energy. Normal people will feel tired, so it is best to rest early and try not to stay up late. Adjust your daily routine. Ensure adequate sleep and take a nap for 0.5-1 hour at noon, because sleep is closely related to mood and immunity, and lack of sleep will lead to poor resistance. 2. Adjust your mindset and don’t be impatient During the Great Heat season, the temperature is extremely high and it is easy to get angry. People often feel upset, have a poor appetite, and are irritable and anxious. These are typical symptoms of "emotional heatstroke." Meditation is the key to health preservation. As the saying goes, "A calm mind brings coolness." The mindset should be clear. The hotter the weather, the more you should "calm yourself" to avoid adverse stimuli. 3. Do not eat a lot of raw and cold fruits and vegetables Most people who suffer from heatstroke have weak spleen and stomach. If they eat a lot of raw and cold fruits and cold foods, it will damage the spleen and stomach yang energy, making the spleen and stomach motility weak. Cold and dampness stagnate inside the body, and in severe cases, symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain may occur. 4. Don’t take a cold bath Cold water bath is the favorite way for many young men to cool off, but the weather is hot in summer, and people's sweat pores and skin are in an open state, therefore. Cold air can easily invade the human body and cause hidden damage to the Yang Energy. Symptoms that may be seen include cold hands and feet, calf cramps, blurred vision, and even fever of unknown cause. At the same time, even if you take a bath with hot water, you should pay attention to avoiding wind after bathing, especially for children. What foods should we eat to maintain health?1. Mung BeanWhen it comes to ingredients that can relieve summer heat, the first thing that comes to mind is mung beans. Traditional Chinese medicine says that mung beans are sweet in taste and cold in nature, and have the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, relieving heat, diuresis, and removing acne. 2. Loofah Luffa is cool in nature and sweet in taste. It has the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, dredging meridians, promoting blood circulation, and beautifying. Luffa is rich in nutrients and contains interferon inducers, which can stimulate the human body to produce interferon and achieve anti-viral purposes. Because it has the functions of promoting blood circulation, promoting qi and removing blood stasis, it can also help postpartum women to go to school. People with irregular menstruation and physical fatigue can also eat more loofah. In rural areas, it is usually used to fry eggs. 3. Melon As the weather gets hotter, fruits with high water content, such as melons, are particularly popular in summer because of their sweet taste and thirst-quenching effects. Except for the low content of water and protein in dry watermelon, the other nutrients are no less than that in dry watermelon, while the content of aromatic substances, minerals, sugar and vitamin C is significantly higher than that in watermelon. 4. Chicken People in the south have the habit of eating chicken during the hottest days of summer. There is a traditional folk tonic method, which is to eat young chickens during the Great Heat. Young chickens contain a certain amount of growth hormone, which has a tonic effect on children in their growth and development period as well as middle-aged and elderly people with decreased hormone levels. Adding an appropriate amount of ginger when cooking chicken can regulate the temperature difference between inside and outside the human body in summer, allowing the body to adapt to the external environment and play a role in removing dampness and strengthening the body. |
