What should we pay attention to when the solar term of awn species is too hot for health preservation?

How to stay healthy in the solar terms requires attention to five points.

How to keep in good health in Mang solar terms? Entering the solar term, the temperature rises gradually, people's metabolism is accelerated, energy consumption is high, nutrition is lost with sweat, and blood supply to the heart and brain is insufficient. People often feel sleepy and have no appetite. This is the so-called "bitter summer". Some people are greedy for cold, like cold in hot days, which hurts the spleen and stomach, and there will be "bitter summer" symptoms such as loss of appetite, abdominal pain and diarrhea, and body aches. How to adjust diet and daily life? Let's take a look with Bian Xiao.

One is "bitterness". Generally, bitter food has the functions of clearing heat and relieving summer heat, clearing heat and nourishing yin, entering the heart meridian and spleen and stomach meridian. We can eat some bitter food, such as bitter gourd, lotus seeds, kale, buckwheat, lettuce and so on. This is of great benefit to the human body. It is said that summer is bitter and summer is not bitter.

The second is "drinking acid". Sour taste can astringe sweat, stop diarrhea and eliminate dampness. Some sour fruits, such as ebony, hawthorn, lemon, grape, strawberry, tomato, pineapple, mango and kiwi fruit, have the functions of dispelling summer heat, benefiting qi, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst. Because of its moderate tonic, it can also prevent sweating, gas consumption and yin injury. You can also drink with fruit juice, but you can't use drinks instead of water. Soft drinks, cola and other beverages contain more saccharin and electrolytes, which will have adverse stimulation to the stomach and intestines, but will affect digestion and appetite.

The three are "eating porridge". Li Shizhen, an ancient medical scientist, suggested that porridge in summer is the best diet. Semen Phaseoli Radiati, Semen Nelumbinis, Folium Nelumbinis, Rhizoma Phragmitis, and Lentils can be added to japonica rice to cook porridge. After cooling, it can play a role in strengthening the spleen and stomach and dispelling summer heat. In addition, barley and red bean porridge can clear away heat and strengthen the spleen, promote diuresis and nourish the liver, and melon and water chestnut porridge can supplement the gastrointestinal tract, quench thirst and relieve boredom.

The fourth is "clear". "Qing Xin" does not mean eating only vegetarian dishes and fruits, nor does it mean pursuing absolute purity and vegetarianism. In fact, "nourishing" focuses on nourishing, but at the same time it has the function of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. For example, duck meat is characterized by warmth, clearing away heat, nourishing yin and stomach, invigorating spleen and tonifying deficiency, and promoting diuresis. Moreover, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus has excellent characteristics of high protein and low fat, and is called "ginseng in water", which can play the role of tonifying the middle energizer, invigorating qi, detoxifying and beautifying the face.

The fifth is "meditation". The season of awn seeds is suitable for adjusting mood. You can go to bed late and get up early, avoid direct sunlight, pay attention to heatstroke prevention, conform to the fullness of yang, be conducive to the operation of qi and blood, and cheer up the spirit. In summer, the days are long and the nights are short. Taking a nap in the middle school helps to restore fatigue and is good for health. After planting awn seeds, take a bath and change clothes frequently to relieve "yang fever". Keeping a calm, quiet and smooth mind can also achieve the effect of "being calm and natural".

In addition, Dr. Zhu also reminded everyone that in the ear season, we should adapt to the changes of seasons, learn to keep in good health, arrange our own work and rest time reasonably, adjust our eating habits and work and rest time in time, adjust our diet and daily life in time, relax our mood, preserve the yang and prepare for a healthy summer.
