Once the body breaks down, problems will follow, such as getting angry, heat stroke and other discomforts. Therefore, it is imperative to do a good job in the summer solstice health care measures. So what should we pay attention to when the summer solstice is coming? This question is very important, let's take a look.
The summer solstice is coming, what to pay attention to
- Don't be impatient
After entering the summer, the hot weather makes it easy to become irritable. Impatience is a bad emotion, and maintaining such an emotion for a long time is very detrimental to health and can easily damage the body. Therefore, you should be happy in your daily mood, let the qi in your body be vented, and don't suppress yourself. If you keep suppressing your emotions, it is not good for your health, and it is easy to cause blockage.
Therefore, the summer solstice is approaching, and the weather will become hotter. It is necessary to adjust your mentality in time to help yourself stabilize your emotions.
- Do not drink tea on an empty stomach
Chinese people love to drink tea, and many people regard drinking tea as a way to maintain health. In fact, drinking the right tea and choosing the tea that suits your physique is really good for your body. Many people like to drink tea to quench their thirst in the hot summer. From a health point of view, it is recommended that people should not drink more tea around the summer solstice, especially not on an empty stomach.
If you drink tea on an empty stomach, after the tea enters the body, it is easy to consume the yang qi in the human body, resulting in the imbalance of yin and yang in the body, which is very unhealthy. So, when you feel hungry, you can no longer drink tea.
- Pay attention to the timing of acupuncture and moxibustion
The summer solstice is approaching. Acupuncture and moxibustion is the best time in the first and second half of the month. It has the effect of "summer cure for winter diseases".
The summer solstice is the time when the yang qi of the human body is the most vigorous, so it is necessary to pay attention to protecting the yang qi before and after the arrival of this solar term. Among them, patients with chronic respiratory diseases can take appropriate acupuncture treatment during half a month before and after the summer solstice.
4, pay attention to eat more "bitter"
Bitter foods can remove dryness and dampness, and can also reduce inflammation and fever. The high temperature in summer makes people easily upset and easy to get angry. Therefore, it is most suitable to eat some bitter foods, such as bitter gourd, coriander and so on.
In daily life, it is recommended to prepare some spare ribs and bitter gourd. After cleaning them, blanch the spare ribs in boiling water for one minute, then remove them and put them in a casserole, add water and bitter gourd and simmer together until the soup is thick.
What to do in summer solstice
- Exercise
In summer, many people like to exercise outdoors. Proper exercise is good for the body, but it is not suitable for exercising at noon. To choose its early morning or evening, these time periods will not be so hot, and exercise is not easy to cause problems.
At the same time, try to choose places such as lakes, rivers, pools, parks and other places for outdoor sports. In places with water and trees, the air will be fresher, which is conducive to breathing.
- Pay attention to the environment
When it is hot nowadays, many people turn on the air conditioner when they are indoors, and the temperature will be adjusted very low. In this way, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor will be very large. If there is no transition period from the air-conditioned room to the outdoor, the body will suddenly enter a high temperature environment from a cold environment, and it is difficult to adapt to this change, which is prone to discomfort. .
Therefore, whether you are walking out of the air-conditioned room, or entering the air-conditioned room from the hot outdoors, don't rush to the ground, and give your body a transition period. Let the body adapt to the environment and reduce the occurrence of air-conditioning diseases.
