What are the fitness tips in summer?

For human viscera, the liver qi gradually weakens and the heart qi gradually increases in the long summer. At this time, the dietary principle is to increase acid and reduce bitterness, and to tonify kidney and help liver. Ensuring normal gastrointestinal function and resisting the invasion of summer heat is an important part of summer health preservation. After the long summer, people sweat a lot, which will lead to insufficient yang. The skin is easy to open and drain, and eating more acidic foods and drugs can make the skin shrink properly. Mume, Crataegus pinnatifida, Papaya and Schisandra chinensis all have astringent properties and can be used to treat diarrhea and sweating. It is suggested that you make hawthorn cakes at home in summer. They are delicious and healthy.

After the long summer, the spirit of the sun is rising and the weather is getting warmer. Eating greasy food or food that is easy to get angry will cause fever inside and outside the body, resulting in acne, oral ulcer, constipation and other diseases that are easy to get angry. In order to solve the dysfunction of the spleen and stomach at this time, the diet should be light, add more water, and eat more digestible foods rich in vitamins.

Eating more thin food is an important way to keep fit in summer. It is said that cooking long summer porridge should be done at the head of the village. Dig a pit on the spot, install a large iron pot, order porridge and get a smoke ring. The person who manages this porridge is definitely a kind-hearted grandmother with high prestige among the masses. It is said that after eating this kind of porridge, the neighborhood is harmonious, and I am bent on going to Xia Geng for summer sowing. Eating porridge in the morning and evening and soup at lunch can not only promote fluid production to quench thirst, reduce temperature and reduce fever, but also nourish the body, which is conducive to regulating the balance of yin and yang in the body. In addition, duck, shrimp, crucian carp, lean meat, edible fungi (mushrooms, Pleurotus ostreatus, tremella, etc. ) and coix seed also have the functions of stimulating appetite, supplementing nutrition, relieving summer heat and keeping fit.

2. Should I sleep or not?

According to the research of traditional Chinese medicine, people who have irregular work and rest and often turn day and night upside down often cannot maintain emotional stability. Most importantly, they are easily tired, sleepy and inefficient. In summer, the symptoms will be more obvious, and even with a little adjustment, there is no way to completely eliminate them.

Because the time from 1 1 to 1 in the morning is the time for qi and blood to run. If in this period, when the blood returns to the liver and the essence is about to be stored, if people don't sleep, it is equivalent to forcing their liver to continue to decompose and work, and the essence can't be stored, the liver will be yin deficiency and yin and yang imbalance. Detoxification, storage and decomposition of bile are the main tasks of the liver. Long-term liver abuse does not give rest, liver fire rises, fatigue is easy, and qi deficiency is weak.

3, summer health should eat more sour food, drink less cold drinks.

In the long summer, a lot of perspiration will cause yang deficiency. Eating more sour food and medicine can shrink the skin properly and prevent excessive sweating. Sour foods such as dark plum, hawthorn, tomato and Schisandra chinensis can enhance digestion and nourish the liver. Eating them regularly can also lower blood pressure, soften blood vessels and protect the heart. After the long summer, people should not eat greasy food and get angry easily, otherwise it will cause dryness and heat inside and outside the body, and it is easy to get acne, oral ulcer, constipation and other diseases.

Throughout the summer, health should also pay special attention to the maintenance of the heart. You can drink more milk and eat more soy products, ducks, shrimps, crucian carp, lean meat and edible fungi. You should also eat more vegetables, fruits and coarse grains, and increase the supply of cellulose, vitamin C and vitamin B. When eating food in summer, you should eat less cold things to prevent excessive stimulation to the spleen and stomach, eat more food at room temperature, and don't eat food that goes bad overnight.

In summer, due to excessive sweating, you often feel thirsty, so proper use of some cold drinks can help your body dissipate heat and play a role in clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. Although mung bean soup and lotus leaf bean soup quench thirst and relieve summer heat, they should not be greedy for cold drinks, ice and snow, bean jelly, porridge and cool fruits and vegetables. To prevent improper diet in summer, we should eat some glutinous rice porridge, Pogostemon tea, mung bean porridge, cool purslane, etc., which can not only eliminate dampness, but also strengthen the function of spleen and stomach, so as to clear away damp heat and detoxify.
