Health knowledge of solar terms in Xiao Man

1, it's cold

As the saying goes, "a small man is successful, and rivers and mountains are full." After a small full day, the temperature rises gradually, and the rainfall also increases obviously, so that the water in the human body gradually increases. In the peak season, we should prevent dampness. At this time, you can eat some foods that dispel dampness and strengthen the spleen. Winter melon, coix seed, lentils, etc. They are all foods for clearing away heat and promoting diuresis, which have the effect of promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, and have certain relieving effects on diarrhea due to spleen deficiency, adverse urination and rheumatic joint pain. In addition to food supplement, people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold can also take Ophiopogon japonicus, chrysanthemum, honeysuckle and other Chinese herbal medicines in water.

When we entered Xiaoman, the weather became hot. At this time, you can eat watermelon, kelp, mung beans and other foods to cool down. Watermelon, kelp and mung bean are all cold foods. It is not advisable to eat on an empty stomach or eat too much at once in the morning. When cooking soup with kelp and mung beans, you can add dried tangerine peel and ginger, an isothermal food.

2. Pay attention to damp heat

Pay attention to "prevention before illness" in the peak season. When the temperature rises in Xiaoman season, the first thing to prevent is fever. The pace of urban life is tense, white-collar workers often stay up late and work overtime, and their diet is irregular. In addition, Chongqing's spicy and greasy diet will cause excessive internal heat in the human body over time. In this way, the superposition of external heat and internal heat will lead to a series of heating. Such as: mental stress, excessive heart fire caused by insomnia, aphtha and so on. During the small full season, citizens can drink warm water to promote metabolism and internal heat discharge.

Secondly, when the rainfall increases, we should also prevent wet disease. The hot and humid weather in Chongqing is easy to cause dermatoses such as beriberi, eczema and leg ulcers. In life, besides paying attention to diet, it is best to wear clothes with good permeability, cotton and light color. This can not only prevent excessive heat absorption but also be breathable and moisture-proof.

Step 3 adjust your mood

When I was young, the wind and fire were fierce and people were easily restless. At this time, we should adjust our emotions to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension and cerebrovascular accidents caused by violent emotional fluctuations. The ancients said that the main fire in summer should be in the heart, and the mind should not be overly excited in summer. At this time, you can take part in some outdoor activities, such as playing chess, calligraphy, fishing and so on. And you can also do morning exercises. Walking, jogging, playing Tai Ji Chuan, etc. They are all suitable, and don't do too strenuous exercise, so as not to sweat and hurt Yin and Yang.
