In summer, autumn scenery began to fade.

The arrival of the summer heat means that the summer heat is coming to an end, with more thunderstorms and sultry weather. Pay attention to heatstroke prevention and dampness, protect spleen and stomach, and prevent intestinal diseases.

Time: August 22-24, Gregorian calendar.

Diet conditioning: eat coarse grains and regulate the stomach.

After the "suffering" in summer, most people will lose their appetite. In summer, people's appetite has improved, so we should pay more attention to nursing the stomach.

Don't eat too strong or spicy food, don't eat too much, and it is worth noting that you should eat less cold food. Choosing coarse grain porridge not only strengthens the spleen and stomach, eliminates dampness, but also benefits qi, which is a good choice for health care.

Poria porridge:

Raw materials: Poria cocos powder, stem rice and ginger powder.

Production: Wash the stem rice first, then put the stem rice and Poria powder into the pot, add appropriate amount of water, cook until cooked, add ginger powder and a little refined salt (or add brown sugar according to personal preference).

Eating a bowl every morning and evening has the effect of strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness.

Meridian conditioning: press Yinlingquan point more, and the retention of rheumatism will dissipate.

After the summer heat, the summer heat has not disappeared, and it is rainy and humid. How to "resist dampness" and "get rid of dampness" in the face of moisture in the body? Massage yinlingquan point.

Yinlingquan point is located in the inner leg of human body, at the depression of the inner tibia below the knee. Press and rub the acupoints with your fingers for more than 10 minutes every day.

Yinlingquan point has the functions of clearing damp-heat, invigorating spleen and regulating qi, tonifying kidney and regulating menstruation, and dredging meridians and activating collaterals. If there is spleen dampness in the human body, pressing Yinlingquan will cause pain, but the pain will be gradually relieved after continuous pressing, indicating that spleen dampness is improving.

Daily aftercare: go to bed early and get up early, and often go out for a walk.

The weather is in an alternating period from hot to cold, and the yang in nature tends to converge from venting, and the rise and fall of yin and yang in the human body also changes accordingly. At this time, the daily routine should be adjusted accordingly. Pay attention to going to bed early and getting up early, which can avoid the cold in autumn. Getting up early is helpful to stretch the lung qi. The ancients emphasized the sense of meridians in their sleep regimen, and the imbalance of qi, blood, yin and yang in their bodies made them want to lie down and wait for summer.

In summer, you should walk more. Generally, from 15: 00 to 2 1: 00, the human body has the most abundant yang, and its physical function will reach the maximum. Brain cells are in the most active state, and the oxygen content in the atmosphere is relatively high, which is most suitable for walking and fitness.

Sports Rehabilitation: Traditional Health Care Movement

In the alternate period of summer solar terms from hot to cold, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, which is easy to cause colds and intestinal diseases. Pay attention to the maintenance of the spleen and stomach and lungs in summer to discharge the accumulated damp heat in the body.

It is recommended to do more traditional exercises: 1, sit up straight, turn left and right, and rub your back with your hands for 5 ~ 7 times. 2. Do radio gymnastics and hit Tai Ji Chuan.

Emotional recovery: adjusting mentality to stay away from depression

Autumn is the time when lung qi is eliminated and reduced. Keeping the lungs requires mental stability, calmness and convergence, which is in line with the characteristics of "autumn harvest". People need to keep optimistic mood, avoid sadness, and make the body change from an active, extroverted and cathartic stage to a calm, introverted and saving stage.

Suggestion: 1, live a regular life and arrange work and rest time reasonably. 2. Exercise regularly, go outdoors to bask in the sun and do exercise. 3, reasonable arrangement of diet, eat more high-quality protein and beans. 4. Keep an optimistic and positive attitude.
