How to maintain health during the summer solstice?

In TCM health theory, the summer solstice is the time when Yang energy is at its peak. Health care during this time, on the one hand, should conform to the characteristics of summer when Yang is dominant outside and pay attention to protecting Yang energy.
On the other hand, the summer solstice is also the time when "yin and yang compete for life and death". As the saying goes, "summer solstice - yin is born", which means that although the weather is hot, the yin energy has begun to grow.
During this time of year, in order to adapt to the changes in the rise and fall of yin and yang in nature, it is generally advisable to go to bed late and get up early, and use a nap to make up for the lack of sleep at night.
The elderly and infirm should go to bed early and get up early, and try to get 7 hours of sleep a day. During the summer solstice, most people will experience symptoms of general drowsiness, fatigue, headache and dizziness, which can affect their daily life and work in severe cases.
The reason is that the temperature is high during this season, and the human body can only dissipate heat through sweating, which causes a large amount of water to be lost from the body. If water is not replenished in time, the body's blood volume will be reduced, and the brain will not be supplied with enough blood, which will cause headaches and dizziness.
Another cause of headaches and dizziness is that when the human body sweats, the blood vessels on the surface of the body will expand, and more blood will flow to the surface of the body. This redistribution of blood can make the blood pressure of people with low blood pressure even lower, thus causing headaches and dizziness.
