Methods of protecting yang after a slight summer heat

1, meditate and nourish your heart. In summer, when the weather is hot, people tend to be restless, sleepy and lack of energy. Therefore, according to the characteristics of this season, in terms of health care, we should maintain the heart according to the corresponding relationship between the season and the five internal organs. The heart is the first of the five internal organs, and there is a saying that "the heart will shake the five internal organs", and the maintenance of the heart is particularly important. Calm down, can ease the tension, make the mood comfortable, qi and blood calm; It not only contributes to the vigorous heart function, but also conforms to the principle of "nourishing Yang in spring and summer". Therefore, it is appropriate to maintain health with "peace of mind" in summer, and peace of mind is naturally cool.

2, the diet should be light and moderate. You can drink some porridge properly when the weather is hot. Soup or porridge made of lotus leaves, Smilax glabra, lentils, Coicis Semen, Polyporus, Alisma orientalis and kapok, sweet or salty, is very suitable for this solar term. Eating seasonal fruits in moderation is good for heatstroke prevention, but don't overdo it, so as not to increase the burden on the stomach. Summer is a good time for yoga to fast and clean the stomach. First, it can regulate the stomach, second, it can clear the heart and reduce dryness, and third, it can be said that it can kill two birds with one stone.

Don't be greedy and eat less cold food. As the saying goes, eating radish in winter and ginger in summer keeps the doctor from prescribing medicine. Summer is the hottest time of the year. At this time, the vegetation is lush, and the heat inside the human body will be emitted to the body surface from the inside out. If people want to be cool, they will naturally eat more cold food, and even use cold water to relieve the heat and take a bath. These actions virtually accelerate the occurrence of deficiency-cold in the stomach, which is not conducive to human health in the long run. At this time, ginger will come in handy to improve the yang in the body to achieve the effect of warming the middle and dispelling cold. Eating ginger in summer can not only promote the growth of yang in the body, but also regulate deficiency and cold, warm the stomach and help the human body resist diseases. Only the balance and mutual coordination of yin and harmony can keep the body in a relatively stable healthy state and adjust it according to the changes of the four seasons' qi and its own situation is the correct "way of keeping in good health".
