So what should we pay attention to during the Great Heat solar term? The sixth lunar month of 2022 is a long month, which means it has thirty days. So what should we pay attention to on each day? Let’s check out Shui Mo Network’s June 2022 special topic!What should we pay attention to during the Great Heat solar term?1. During the Great Heat, the ultraviolet and infrared rays are the strongest from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day. Excessive ultraviolet rays can cause damage to our skin and eyes, and can cause skin cancer. Long-term exposure to infrared rays can cause increased intracranial temperature, inflammation of the meninges, and sunstroke. Therefore, you should try to avoid exercising outdoors when the sun is strong, and you should not exercise with your upper body naked.2. During the hottest days of summer, our bodies consume a lot of energy. We must control the intensity of exercise. If we suffer from heatstroke, we should sit in a cool and ventilated place, drink some cool salt water, breathe fresh air, and apply cold compresses on the forehead or armpits. If you have symptoms such as dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, etc., you can take heat-relieving medicines such as Ren Dan and Shi Di Shui. If there is no improvement after treatment, go to the hospital immediately. 3. During the Great Heat period, you should maintain your health, calm your mind, and avoid emotional heatstroke. The so-called "emotional heatstroke" is caused by extremely high temperatures and is prone to anger, and you will often feel upset, have a poor appetite, and be irritable and anxious. The diet should be mainly light and nourishing. You can make soup or drink porridge, drink more mung bean soup, red bean and barley porridge to replenish qi and clear away heat. In addition, you can eat more watermelon and winter melon, which have the effect of diuresis and removing dampness. Folk Customs of the Great Heat Solar Term1.

Grass jelly and roasted grass jelly are also common summer refreshments for Xiamen residents. 2. Drink Fu Tea Fucha, as the name suggests, is tea drunk during the dog days of summer. The free tea season is generally from the beginning of June to the end of August in the lunar calendar. This kind of tea, which is made from more than ten kinds of Chinese herbal medicines such as honeysuckle, selfheal, and licorice, had a custom in ancient times in many rural areas. Villagers would put some tea in the pavilion at the entrance of the village and give it to passers-by for free. 3.
