Things you can't do in dog days, health preventive measures in dog days

The dog days can be said to be the season that everyone has to avoid but have to face. At this time, the probability of heatstroke is greatly increased. Then do you know what you must not do in dog days? Next, I will answer your questions with the old history. Let's take a look at the hygiene precautions in dog days with me!

Matters needing attention in dog days

1, watermelon should not be eaten in summer.

Heatstroke prevention is the first problem that everyone thinks of. There are many melons and fruits in summer, especially watermelons, which can relieve the heat, but it is not advisable to eat more. Because of its cold nature, some brown sugar and ginger tea can be added every day to balance its cold nature. You can have some American ginseng tea. American ginseng is one of the best tonics in summer, and it is the only ginseng that does not get angry or hurt yin. Especially when sweating too much and people feel very tired and flustered, it is suitable to make tea with American ginseng, which is very beneficial to people who are suffering from summer.

2, do not eat ice drinks, ice cream, cold porridge to get rid of dampness is quite good.

If you are afraid of heat, you can drink boiled water at room temperature. If you can insist on not touching ice drinks and ice cream in dog days, even if you don't treat "winter disease in summer", more than half of the ills in your body can be cured. Especially in winter, I am particularly afraid of cold, and my hands and feet are cold. Remember!

3. "Cold porridge is not ice, it is a dog in the sky."

Summer is not suitable for raw cold porridge, but a bowl of cold porridge is ok. This kind of cold porridge is not the kind with sand ice, but the porridge that returns to room temperature after refrigeration.

4. Dry your hair before going to bed

Many people think that when the temperature is high in summer, they can sleep without blow-drying or blow-drying their hair, but in fact this is a very bad habit! In summer, people often take a bath. Some people sit in air-conditioned rooms with wet hair and even sleep without drying their hair, which leads to the "wet evil" invading the body unconsciously. Therefore, dry your hair before going to bed in summer.

5. Don't blow the air conditioner.

When you come back after sweating or exercising outside, blow cool air into the air conditioner, and moisture will enter the human body along the open sweat pores. Nowadays, patients who really catch a cold in winter are rare, but they are everywhere in summer. It is because of the use of air conditioning that sweat cannot volatilize and accumulate in the body.

6, staying up late in cold weather is a taboo.

Many people like to stay up late. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, lack of sleep is a symptom of spleen deficiency, indicating that the body is too wet. I have to take a nap these days, just 30~60 minutes. After a nap 1 hour, it will affect the sleep at night.
