What are the principles of summer health care?

Tomorrow is July 23rd, which is the summer heat among the 24 solar terms. "Great Summer", like "Little Summer", is a festival reflecting the degree of midsummer, and "Great Summer" means extremely hot. Twenty-four solar terms: "in mid-June, ... it was hot, small and small, small at the beginning of the month, and big in the month, and it is still hot now."

Summer solar terms are in the "dog days", which is the hottest period in a year, with the highest temperature, which brings many adverse effects to people's work, production, study and life, and easily causes diseases such as heatstroke, heatstroke, scapulohumeral periarthritis, water poisoning and intestinal infectious diseases. Proper health care in high temperature in summer can not only keep healthy in the short term in summer, but also be very important for health care all year round. Here are some ways to stay healthy in midsummer. I hope you are healthy and happy.

First, prevent emotional heatstroke.

According to the theory of "correspondence between man and nature" in traditional Chinese medicine, climate change will cause physiological and psychological changes of human body. During the summer heat, people are prone to "liver fire", which will lead to upset, listlessness, thinking disorder and other abnormal States, which is "emotional heatstroke." Modern medicine believes that human nerve cells are highly sensitive to the changes of meteorological factors such as temperature, air pressure and humidity in summer. High temperature climate will affect the emotional regulation function of human body, and then affect the nerve activity of the brain and the secretion of endocrine hormones, thus producing a series of symptoms similar to "heatstroke".

Once there are obvious symptoms of heatstroke such as fatigue, dizziness and nausea, the patient should be immediately moved to a ventilated place to rest, and given some light salt boiled water or mung bean soup, watermelon juice, sour plum soup, etc. For people who work in high temperature or are prone to heatstroke, just in case, you can usually eat some Huoxiang Zhengqi water.

In order to prevent "emotional heatstroke", once the internal heat comes up, you can adjust your mood through psychological suggestion and "psychological cooling method".

Second, drink porridge when hydrating.

During the summer solar term, the first thing is to replenish water. At this time, drinking medicinal porridge can replenish qi, clear away summer heat, strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach.

Li Shizhen once said, "Eat a big bowl of porridge every day. If you are hungry, you will succeed. The tonic is not fine, but it is extremely soft and greasy. Compatible with the stomach and stomach, it is the most wonderful diet. " "Summer porridge" is usually made of rice, mung bean, coix seed, red bean and pumpkin, supplemented by cold and hot fruits and vegetables such as lily, lotus root, cucumber, wax gourd, watermelon, bean sprouts, mushrooms, laver and tomato, and cooked with meat products such as chicken, duck, lean meat and pigeon, which are smooth, beneficial, nourishing yin and enriching blood.

The so-called "all people are born to support the people." During the summer heat, you should also eat more seasonal vegetables such as loofah, broccoli and eggplant. Yam has the functions of invigorating spleen and stomach, benefiting qi and tonifying kidney. Eating yam can promote digestion, improve waist and knee pain and make people energetic.

Third, winter diseases are treated in summer.

The summer heat is the season with the highest yang in a year. In health care, people often say that "winter diseases are treated in summer", so it is the best time to treat those chronic diseases that occur every winter, such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, bronchial asthma, diarrhea, rheumatism and joint pain.

The most commonly used method of "treating winter diseases in summer" is application therapy, which takes advantage of the solar term characteristics of the highest yang in summer, adopts the method of acupoint application, and uses traditional Chinese medicine with special functions to penetrate the skin, dredge meridians and regulate viscera, so as to achieve the purpose of external treatment of internal diseases.
