Seasonal Health Care: How to Prevent Diseases in Summer

In hot summer, the most common seasonal disease is heatstroke. Heatstroke is mainly due to high temperature and poor ventilation, so that the heat in the body can not be distributed in time. When you go out at this time, you should adjust the time to avoid going out at high temperature at noon.

Some old people often feel fidgety, fatigue, loss of appetite, and even dizziness, chest tightness, nausea and other symptoms in this season. Chinese medicine says summer hurts, while folks say it's "bitter summer". In this regard, it can be properly supplemented to supplement qi deficiency in the body. And to ensure adequate sleep, use nap time to make up for the lack of sleep at night. Don't eat too many cold drinks.

Eating a moderate amount of cold drinks in summer can prevent heatstroke and cool down, but eating too much cold drinks is harmful. When the gastrointestinal tract is stimulated by a lot of cold food, it will accelerate peristalsis, shorten the residence time of food in the gastrointestinal tract, and directly affect the absorption of food nutrition by the human body.

At the same time, due to the high temperature in summer, the heat in the body is not easy to dissipate, and the temperature of the gastrointestinal tract is relatively high. If you are suddenly stimulated by a lot of cold. It may cause gastrointestinal spasm and abdominal pain.

You can't eat too many melons and fruits. In summer, melons and fruits have a good effect on maintaining the balance of pH in human body. However, excessive consumption will increase the burden on the stomach and even cause diarrhea. This is because Yin Qi was born in this solar term, so raw, cold and hard food will do harm to the stomach.
