4. Reasons for getting angry in summer

1. When there are too many free radicals

Free radicals are a pathogenic factor produced in the body, and The body itself has the ability to scavenge free radicals. If there are too many free radicals in the body and cannot be removed, excessive free radicals will inevitably damage cells and cause inflammatory reactions. And "hot days" are likely to cause excessive free radicals to be produced in the body.

2. When immunity is reduced

Once the body's immunity is reduced, these pathogens will take the opportunity to cause trouble and cause an immune response, leading to inflammation. The hot summer is likely to reduce people's immunity. In summer, in order to regulate body temperature, most of the blood in the body rushes to the body surface to dissipate heat. The blood distribution in the internal organs is relatively reduced, and there is less blood in the gastrointestinal tract. Our digestion ability is weakened, which makes people lose appetite. , Eating is not delicious.

Traditional Chinese medicine says that in summer people, "yang energy floats outside but is deficient inside." This is what they are talking about. This can easily lead to the immune system's nutritional needs not being met.

3. Various stresses add fuel to the fire

In summer, the body’s metabolic level is already relatively high. Coupled with heat stress, the metabolic rate suddenly accelerates. A sudden increase in free radicals damages cells and immediately triggers an inflammatory reaction, causing swelling and pain in the upper lip. Most getting angry is a stress reaction. Everyone has different tolerances for internal and external stimuli, so their "stress thresholds" are also different. But the same situation is that "summer constitution" has lowered people's "stress threshold", so now there are many people who get angry.
