Why can’t we eat ice during the dog days of summer?

During the dog days of summer, the temperature is very high and the weather is very hot, so many people like to eat some frozen food to cool down their bodies. In fact, during the dog days of summer, eating frozen food can not only irritate the intestines, but also easily induce a series of gastrointestinal diseases. What's more, it can also cause accumulation of cold in the body, thereby causing a series of physical illnesses. Therefore, during the dog days of summer, everyone must not eat a large amount of frozen food because of greed, especially ice cream, iced carbonated drinks and other unhealthy foods.
The internal organs are cold, and eating ice or popsicles at this time is like adding insult to injury, especially for people who already have a lot of coldness, as eating more will chill the bone marrow even more . If you are afraid of heat, you can drink boiled water at room temperature, which is simple and healthy. If you insist on not drinking cold drinks or ice cream during the dog days of summer, even if you don't specifically treat winter diseases in summer, the stubborn cold in your body will be cured on its own, especially for people who are particularly afraid of cold and have cold hands and feet in winter.

What are the taboos and precautions during the dog days of summer?

1. During the dog days, you should pay attention to removing moisture from your diet. During the dog days, the weather is hot and humid, and the human body is easily eroded by moisture. Therefore, during the dog days of summer, you must pay attention to expelling moisture through your diet. So in daily life, which foods can help the body expel moisture? In fact, there are many common foods that can help the body eliminate moisture, such as coix seed, red beans, mung beans and other foods, which are all very good dehumidifying foods.
2. Take sun protection measures during the dog days to prevent heatstroke. Generally speaking, the UV index is highest between 10 a.m. and 3 or 4 p.m., and it is easy to get heatstroke. It is best for everyone to reduce outdoor activities during this period. If you want to go out, you must take appropriate measures to prevent heat stroke, such as holding a parasol, wearing a sun hat, wearing sunglasses, and applying sunscreen. You can drink more light salt water and mung bean soup to cool down and replenish water. 3. The diet during the dog days should focus on stimulating the appetite. In the hot summer weather, many people easily lose their appetite and cannot eat. However, if you eat too little during the dog days and your body does not get enough calories, it is easy to get heatstroke. Therefore, when eating during the dog days, you must pay attention to stimulating your appetite. In summer, there are more choices of vegetables that can stimulate the appetite, such as bitter melon, bitter herbs and other bitter foods. In addition, there are some acidic foods, such as hawthorn, plums and other snacks. In addition, in order to improve your appetite, you can also choose to eat foods that nourish qi and yin, such as yam, lotus root, and fungus.
4. It is not advisable to sit for a long time during the dog days. When the weather gets hot, people become lazier. Stay in a cool room, curl up on the sofa, hold a watermelon and watch TV. I don’t want to get up after sitting there.
The 2016 guidelines of the American Diabetes Association clearly state that everyone should reduce their sitting time, especially avoid sitting for more than 90 minutes. Sitting for a long time can also easily lead to swelling of the legs and feet, thrombosis in the lower limbs, and accelerate the aging of the spine. Sitting for a long time is very harmful, so it is best to get up and move around every half an hour. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
