The scorching heat is unbearable, and you must not be too greedy for coolness. There are four questions you should ask about summer health preservation
In midsummer, the sun is hot and the temperature is sultry. People will feel hot and unbearable because of the high temperature and high humidity, which makes it difficult for the water in the body to evaporate. Therefore, many people will find ways to cool down. Appropriate greed for coolness can make us feel comfortable, but too much greed for coolness is not good, and it is easy to cause diseases.
"Health News Theory" of traditional Chinese medicine says: "In summer, the heart is prosperous and the kidneys are weak. Although it is very hot, it is not suitable to eat cold water and snow, honey ice, jelly, cold porridge. Streets and halls with broken windows are not allowed to enjoy the coolness. Although these places are cool, people are the most violent in the wind. Don’t lie down under the stars and moon, and don’t use electric fans while sleeping. If the wind enters the skin, it will cause the most serious trouble.” Therefore. , everyone enjoys the cool summer, and pays more attention to health preservation. You need to pay attention to the following points:
In some regions where the climate is hot in summer, many people sleep on the ground outdoors at night. Some lie in the ventilated place in the aisle, some lie under the tree, the base of the wall or other places to sleep, and some sleep indoors with all the doors and windows on both sides open to blow through the hall. The cool wind blowing on the body made me feel comfortable and happy at the time, and I fell asleep easily, but when I woke up, I often felt unwell, with muscle tension all over the body, joint pain, mental fatigue, and even abdominal pain, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms. What's more serious is that some people lie in the windward place when they are sweating profusely, and diseases such as facial nerve paralysis will occur. Therefore, even if you are resting normally, you should not be at the vent, and find a relatively cooler place instead.
In summer, some people always like to eat a lot of cold food and drinks, even iced food and drinks. Although these foods are cool and delicious to eat, they will affect appetite and be unfavorable to digestion. They will also cause local vasoconstriction due to excessive stimulation of the gastrointestinal mucosa, leading to ischemia and hypoxia in the digestive tract, and gastrointestinal dysfunction. People with chronic gastritis or gastric and duodenal ulcers may have an acute attack, especially after drinking a gas-containing cold drink, which may lead to perforation of the stomach and duodenum, hemorrhage and life-threatening. When it is hot in summer, just drink more cold boiled water or eat some watermelon and other fruits, which can relieve the heat without harming your health. Eating melons and fruits can also increase nutrients.
In hot summer, blowing on electric fans and air conditioners properly can cool down the temperature, but some people are too greedy for coolness, and often rely on electric fans or air conditioners to keep cool all night. Blowing on electric fans and air conditioners for too long can cool the skin, causing a large amount of water loss in the body, and waking up the next day with dizziness, listlessness, and loss of appetite. Sometimes nosebleeds or colds may occur due to too dry nasal cavity, and even bronchitis, pneumonia, gastroenteritis and so on. Enjoying the cool air in summer, drinking cold drinks and blowing electric fans or air conditioners must be done in moderation. Excessive excess of any good thing may become a bad thing, especially the human body cannot withstand excessive stimulation. If it is not controlled, it will definitely cause harm to human health.
Every summer, most people tend to feel loss of appetite. This is because as the temperature rises, the endocrine of the human body will undergo a series of changes, and the functions of various secretory glands will be affected, which will lead to weakened digestion. Some people pursue a light diet in order to protect the stomach. In fact, too light diet in summer will weaken the body's resistance, which is not conducive to health. Some people, especially some women who want to lose weight, simply eat "vegetable and fruit meals", replacing staple foods with vegetables and fruits. This approach is not conducive to the health of the gastrointestinal tract, but it is easy to cause gastritis and ulcer disease.
In a high-temperature environment, the body's metabolism speeds up, and electrolytes such as sodium and potassium in the body lose quickly. Therefore, the summer diet should pay more attention to the balance of nutrition. The intake of protein in summer cannot be reduced, and some fish, lean meat, chicken, eggs, dairy products, etc. should be eaten appropriately. At the same time, eat more soy products, fresh vegetables and fruits.
Add some mashed garlic and vinegar when mixing cold dishes, which can not only increase appetite, help digestion, but also sterilize and detoxify, and prevent intestinal infectious diseases. Sweating more in summer, in the case of poor appetite, soup and porridge food is very suitable for consumption. Often drink mung bean soup, red bean soup, lily porridge, mung bean porridge, lotus seed soup, etc., which can prevent heatstroke and whet the appetite. But remember not to eat too much.
Dear friends, in the hot summer now, while we are doing a good job of heatstroke prevention, we must also prevent excessive cold from harming my body. I wish my friends a healthy body.
