When is the longest day?

The summer solstice is the longest day in a year. Among the 24 solar terms, "Summer Solstice" is an important time node, reminding people that the hottest moment of the year is coming, and the temperature will reach its peak, which also means that Yin Qi will begin to rise gradually.

After the summer solstice, the temperature rises gradually and the amount of sweating will increase, so the human body needs a lot of water. In this regard, you can also adjust your diet, such as drinking mung bean soup and light salt water. It should be noted that you should not drink more mung bean soup, let alone drink it as water. People with cold constitution and weak constitution are also not suitable for drinking mung bean soup. And mentally, we should also pay attention to aftercare.

According to Zhouyi theory, summer belongs to fire, corresponding to the heart of the five internal organs. Therefore, it is important to cultivate the heart from summer to the future. It is hot in summer, which often makes people upset, and the troubles are hotter, which can affect the functional activities of the human body, thus producing many adverse mental effects. As the saying goes, "peace of mind is naturally cool", we should be good at adjustment, sit still more, and eliminate distractions in our hearts.
