What should we pay attention to during the Beginning of Summer? What diseases can be prevented?
Introduction: The Beginning of Summer is the seventh solar term among the twenty-four solar terms. It marks the end of the Chen month and the beginning of the Si month in the Gregorian calendar. In my country, it is customary to regard "Lixia" as the beginning of summer. Around the Lixia, the temperature rises and some diseases will occur. So what should we pay attention to during the Beginning of Summer? What diseases need to be prevented? Let’s learn about it together below! April is the most beautiful month in the world. April is a very beautiful month. In late spring and early summer, all things are new and many good beginnings appear in this month. At the beginning of summer, the temperature gradually rises and the weather becomes hot and humid. While people take daily measures to prevent heatstroke and cool down, they also have to prevent some common seasonal diseases that are about to occur.

Preventing skin diseases

Professional doctors point out that after the beginning of summer, the temperature will rise significantly and the rainfall will also increase. Hot and humid weather provides conditions for the outbreak of skin diseases. For a long period of time after the beginning of summer, people should pay attention to prevent skin diseases such as papules, urticaria, tinea pedis, and solar dermatitis.
When the weather is hot, people sweat more and there is more rain. This warm and humid environment provides a breeding ground for pathogenic microorganisms, and fungal infections such as tinea pedis follow. Therefore, you should wash and dry bedding and mats frequently, choose clothes that are breathable and sweat-absorbent, ventilate the room frequently, and keep your feet clean and dry. Especially when wearing sandals, bacteria can easily stick to your feet, so be sure to rinse them in time and wipe them dry with a towel.
In addition, in the summer, various plant flocs and pollen are floating in the air, and many people will develop allergic dermatitis due to the irritation of the flocs. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to skin protection when going out. You can choose to wear long sleeves, wear masks, take a car, etc., and try to avoid direct exposure to the external environment, so as to reduce the occurrence of allergic dermatitis.

Prevent gastrointestinal diseases

Doctors say that after entering summer, many elderly people, children and people with poor digestive function often experience various gastrointestinal problems such as abdominal pain and gastritis. On the one hand, the human body's appetite naturally worsens after entering summer, and the digestive function is affected; on the other hand, people are greedy for coolness and like to eat cold food, which stimulates the stomach and intestines. After the stomach is strongly stimulated by low temperature, the blood vessels suddenly contract and the blood flow decreases, which affects the secretion of gastrointestinal digestive juices and leads to physiological dysfunction.
In terms of health preservation, it is best to maintain the spleen and stomach during the Beginning of Summer by eating more liquid food, such as porridge and soup, which can not only produce body fluids to quench thirst, provide coolness and relieve heat, but also nourish the body. In addition, fresh vegetables and fruits can supplement sufficient vitamins, water and inorganic salts. Among foods, those that can clear away heat and dampness include watermelon, bitter gourd, peach, black plum, strawberry, tomato, cucumber, mung bean, etc. These all have a certain effect of cooling down.
It is best not to eat food taken out of the refrigerator in a hurry. It should be left at room temperature for a while before eating, and do not eat too much at one time. Especially for the elderly, children and people with chronic gastritis and indigestion, they should eat less or not eat it.

Prevent heat cold

Summer colds are commonly known as "heat colds". The weather is hot after the beginning of summer. In order to dissipate the heat in the body, the human body's epidermal blood vessels and sweat gland pores expand, and sweat a lot. After falling asleep, the body is easily cooled, thus catching a cold.
Mild cases of heat cold generally have no fever and systemic symptoms, or only have symptoms such as low fever, headache, and general discomfort; severe cases often have high fever, and the fever does not subside after sweating, accompanied by headache, heaviness, body aches, fatigue, dry mouth but no desire to drink water, yellow and red urine, yellow and greasy tongue coating, and some patients may also experience vomiting or diarrhea.
For heat colds, if the condition is mild, take some cold medicine appropriately and you will usually recover in two or three days. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used to treat more severe summer heat colds. To prevent heat colds, the main thing is to exercise, enhance the body's disease resistance, and enable the body to adapt to high temperatures. At the same time, you should add or remove clothes in time according to weather changes in the morning and evening.
Summary: The above are the common diseases that you need to pay attention to during the Beginning of Summer. You can refer to them for more information! Take precautions! I hope this article is helpful to you!
