What should we pay attention to in our daily life?

(1) Don't go shirtless and live a regular life.

In midsummer, some people like to go topless and enjoy the cold, thinking it's cool to go shirtless. In fact, it may not be so. Health experts warn that when the temperature approaches or exceeds a person's body temperature, shirtless people will feel hotter, not cooler. Because human body temperature regulation depends not only on skin evaporation, but also on skin radiation. When the outside temperature exceeds 37℃, the body temperature mainly depends on skin evaporation to dissipate heat; When the temperature continues to rise, the skin will not only be unable to dissipate heat, but also absorb heat from the external environment, making people feel more sultry. Therefore, it is best not to be topless in midsummer, and wear some clothes properly, which can insulate heat and block ultraviolet rays.

In addition, summer is characterized by long sunshine hours, early dawn and late darkness. Therefore, people's daily life and schedule should be adjusted accordingly, and it is advisable to go to bed late and get up early. Although there are great differences among individuals, most people should follow the following principles: go to bed at 10 at night to 1 1 and get up at 5: 30 to 6: 30 in the morning; Take a nap half an hour after lunch. In addition, three meals a day and the time for exercise, brain use and leisure should be clear. This "timing" is especially important in summer, especially in midsummer.

(2) Moisture protection in summer.

As the saying goes, "Don't sit on a stone in winter and a tree in summer." This solar term is characterized by high temperature and high humidity. Wood, especially chairs and stools placed in the open air for a long time, contains more water when exposed to rain, and the surface looks dry. But when the sun is exposed and the temperature rises, it will emit moisture. If you sit on it for a long time, it will induce hemorrhoids, rheumatism and arthritis. So you can't sit on the wood in the open air for a long time. Besides, many people like to sleep outdoors, which is a bad habit. Because when people fall asleep, the sweat glands on their bodies still secrete sweat outward, and the whole body is in a relaxed state, and their resistance is reduced. When the temperature drops at night, the temperature difference gradually increases, which easily leads to headache, abdominal pain, indigestion and diarrhea.

(3) Don't be greedy for cold drinks in summer.

Eating a moderate amount of cold drinks in summer can prevent heatstroke and cool down, but eating too much cold drinks is harmful. If the gastrointestinal tract is stimulated by a large number of cold foods, 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 fruits and vegetables in summer. Although summer melons and fruits have a good effect on maintaining the pH balance in the human body, excessive consumption will increase the burden on the stomach and even cause diarrhea.
