So what are the benefits of eating ginger during the dog days? Shui Mo Xiansheng website has carefully compiled detailed information about the sixth lunar month of 2019. If you want to know about the auspicious and inauspicious days in the sixth lunar month, please come to Shui Mo Xiansheng website!What’s so special about the dog days of summer?1. Outdoor activities are not recommended during the dog days of summer . Do not engage in strenuous activities such as mountain climbing outdoors during the day to avoid heatstroke. It is recommended to choose sports activities such as swimming, jogging in the morning and evening, etc.2. In the dog days, you should drink plenty of boiled water to replenish water in time, and drink water regularly. Don't wait until you are thirsty to drink, and don't drink too much after you are thirsty. You should drink less fruit juice, soda and other beverages, which contain more saccharin and electrolytes. Drinking too much will have adverse stimulation to the gastrointestinal tract and affect digestion and appetite. 3. Do not drink excessively during the dog days . The human body is easily affected by the temperature in summer and accumulates dampness and heat. Excessive dampness and heat are the cause of skin sores, carbuncles and swellings. Drinking a lot of liquor will help generate heat and dampness, which is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. 4. The diet during the dog days should not be too light. In summer, people are active for a long time, sweat a lot, and consume a lot of energy. They should eat more nutritious foods such as chicken, duck, lean meat, fish, eggs, etc. to meet the body's metabolic needs. Summer seasonal vegetables, such as lettuce, cucumber, tomato, etc. have a higher water content; fresh fruits, such as peaches, apricots, watermelon, melon, etc. have a water content of 80 to 90% and can be used to replenish water. 5. The nap time during the dog days should not be too long . If the nap time is too long, the central nervous system will be deeply inhibited, and the blood flow in the brain will be relatively reduced, which will slow down the metabolic process, causing discomfort all over the body and more sleepiness after waking up. 6. Avoid "rapid cooling" after being heated during the dog days In the hot summer, when people go out or come back from work, they like to either turn on the fan or take a cold shower immediately. This will cause the pores all over the body to close quickly, making it difficult for the heat in the body to dissipate. It will also cause insufficient blood supply to the brain due to the rapid contraction of blood vessels in the brain, making people dizzy. 7. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should not be too large during the dog days. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should not exceed 5 degrees. Even if the weather is hot, the indoor temperature of the air-conditioned room should not be below 24 degrees. What are the benefits of eating ginger during the dog days of summer?Traditional Chinese medicine believes that ginger is a yang-boosting food. Therefore, since ancient times, Chinese medicine has always had the saying that "a man cannot go a hundred days without ginger." It is also the best food to dispel cold and dampness during the dog days of summer. Ginger contains volatile gingerol and gingerol, which have the functions of promoting blood circulation, dispelling cold, removing dampness and inducing sweat. In particular, ginger has the functions of promoting bile secretion, strengthening the stomach and stopping vomiting, eliminating fishy smell and eliminating edema. When used together with honey, it is beneficial to the recovery of liver disease.If you often feel stomach cold and loss of appetite, you can often hold fresh ginger slices in your mouth to stimulate the secretion of gastric juice and promote digestion. Fresh ginger moisturizes without damaging the yin. Cut four or five thin slices of fresh ginger every day, drink a cup of warm water in the morning, then put the ginger slices in your mouth and chew them slowly, allowing the smell of ginger to dissipate in your mouth and spread to your stomach, intestines and nostrils. 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."
