Shui Mo Network has prepared relevant content for every day of the fifth lunar month in 2022. If you want to know more details, please follow Shui Mo Network!Three Dos and Three Don'ts of Summer Solstice——Three things to do during the Summer Solstice : 1. Eat more bitter foods. The weather becomes hot during the Summer Solstice, so you should pay attention to a light diet. In addition to a light diet, you can also eat more bitter vegetables, such as bitter melon, coriander, etc. Bitter foods have the effects of removing dryness and dampness, cooling and relieving heat, promoting diuresis and activating blood circulation, relieving fatigue, relieving inflammation and reducing fever, clearing the heart and improving eyesight, and promoting appetite. However, bitter foods are cold and although they can clear away heat and reduce fire, they are purgative foods and should not be consumed by people with weak constitutions, otherwise their condition will worsen. 2. Go to bed late and get up early. "Suwen·The Great Treatise on the Four Qi to Regulate the Spirit" says: "Keep the mind free from anger, let the flowers and fruits bloom, and let the qi be released. If what you love is outside, this is the response of the summer qi and the way to nourish and grow." That is to say, in summer we should be clear-headed, happy, broad-minded and full of energy. Just as all things need sunlight to grow, we should have a strong interest in external things and cultivate an optimistic and extroverted personality to facilitate the flow of Qi. Adjust your daily life to adapt to the natural changes of Yang being strong and Yin being weak, and it is better to go to bed late and get up early. 3. Acupuncture is suitable for the second half of the month after the summer solstice. According to the theory of correspondence between heaven and man in traditional Chinese medicine, the summer solstice is the time when the human body's yang energy is the most prosperous. Therefore, attention should be paid to protecting the yang energy during the summer solstice. Patients with chronic respiratory diseases and those who are prone to stomach pain, abdominal pain, and diarrhea due to eating cold food in summer can carry out summer solstice acupuncture treatment 15 days before and after the summer solstice. ——Three taboos during the summer solstice : 1. Avoid eating raw or cold food at night. The nights are short in summer. Older people or those with weaker constitutions often have a cold stomach and find it difficult to digest food. Raw vegetables, melons, etc. are taboos in summer, so be especially careful about eating such food at night. Also, be careful not to eat meat, noodles, raw, cold, or greasy foods at night, otherwise you may experience symptoms such as abdominal distension, vomiting and diarrhea. 2. Avoid taking cold showers. When the weather is hot, many people like to take cold showers. However, in the hot summer, 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. 3. Avoid being greedy for coolness. Do not turn on the air conditioner all night when sleeping. This habit can easily lead to colds, facial paralysis, joint pain, abdominal pain and diarrhea, which can cause serious damage to the body. Don't even fan children to cool them down after they fall asleep, otherwise they are prone to suffer from convulsions in the hands and feet, lockjaw, rheumatism and other diseases. People often don't know the harm of this, as the saying goes, the deeper the love, the greater the harm. There is a proverb that goes "Avoid the wind as if you were avoiding an arrow, avoid sex as if you were avoiding chaos, add or subtract clothes according to the time, and eat less after 3 p.m.", which can all be understood as health requirements for summer. |
