Why is summer easy to get angry?

In daily life, people often feel unwell, such as dry mouth, bitter taste, bad breath, aphtha, toothache, dreaminess, stomach acid, abdominal distension, constipation, fever of hands and feet, hemorrhoids and so on. Children will also drool, tonsil enlargement, night sweats, bed wetting and so on. What is the reason for it?

From the perspective of Chinese medicine, there are "real fire" and "virtual fire".

"Real fire" refers to the imbalance of Yin and Yang caused by improper external environment and diet, which leads to "hyperactivity of Yang" and dysfunction.

"Deficiency fire" means that the superficial phenomenon of "hyperactivity of yang" is caused by yin deficiency constitution and imbalance of yin and yang, but in fact it is a relative "hyperactivity of yang" caused by yin deficiency. Usually, the constitution of yin deficiency is manifested as "deficiency of fire", so there are manifestations of deficiency of both qi and blood at the same time, such as pale face, cold hands and feet, headache and insomnia, dreaminess and constipation.

Modern medicine believes that the cause of "excessive internal heat" is insufficient microcirculation, oxygen and nutrients needed by cells can not be supplied in time, and metabolites (such as lactic acid and urea) can not be removed in time, causing a series of dysfunction. Reasons for insufficient microcirculation and slow blood flow: First, poor basic quality and abnormal lifestyle (such as eating too much sweets, drinking too much water and sweating too much). ) leads to imbalance of body fluids, thickening of blood and slow circulation, which is medically called hypotonic dehydration. Second, their own qi and blood are weak, and the cardiovascular system is not functioning well, resulting in poor circulation.

Misunderstanding of treatment:

The first is to use laxatives. The result of blind use of laxatives is loose stool, which aggravates dehydration, at the cost of reduced blood volume and accelerated heartbeat. Although the heartbeat is accelerated, it can speed up the circulation in a short time, which can correct some hypoxia to some extent, and the symptoms of "getting angry" are relatively relieved. It is extremely undesirable to treat this vicious cycle at the expense of physical strength, and it will bring the next round of more serious dysfunction after a period of time (the other is dry mouth after getting angry), so people drink boiled water repeatedly, which is called tension-free fluid in medicine. The result is that drinking water repeatedly and urinating repeatedly will lose sodium ions and aggravate hypotonic dehydration repeatedly.

Correct handling method:

For people with normal constitution, we should take some light salt water to dilute blood, restore the balance of blood water and electrolyte, and create a normal blood environment.

For the "virtual fire" caused by the weakness of qi and blood, we must first regulate qi and blood and improve our physique. After the improvement of qi and blood, the function of cardiovascular system will be improved, and the balance of yin and yang will be naturally adjusted to achieve the goal of radical cure.

B irritating food.

Whether the food itself is hot or cold, fried or grilled food, as long as it is fried or grilled, will easily get angry.

Irritating foods such as garlic and pepper usually get hot all over after eating, which is also one of the main reasons for getting angry.

Fruits such as litchi and durian are easy to cause anger.

Meat makes people energetic because it can produce high calories, but excessive consumption of meat will acidify the blood and slow down the metabolism in the body, which is also the source of internal heat.

Except for beer, almost all other alcoholic beverages will cause excessive internal heat, especially those with alcohol content above 30% are the most likely to get excessive internal heat.

Almost all Chinese medicine tonics are easy to cause great anger.

All kinds of fruits can't be eaten well. To distinguish which fruits are easy to get angry and which are antipyretic:

Cool fruit relieves dryness and heat

Fruits in summer are mostly cold, such as pears, apples and melons. Generally speaking, people with excessive heat constitution have vigorous metabolism in summer, dominant sympathetic nerves, sweating more, often blushing, dry mouth, irritability and constipation, and especially like to eat cold things in summer. Therefore, people with hot constitution can eat more cold fruits appropriately.

However, you should not eat more cold fruits, otherwise it will be harmful to your health. Apples, for example, are sweet and have the functions of stopping diarrhea, relaxing bowels and helping digestion. Eating regularly can make the skin white and tender. However, because it is rich in sugar and potassium salt, eating too much will be harmful to the health of the heart and kidneys. Patients with coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, nephritis and diabetes can't eat more, and those with insufficient middle qi and mental fatigue can eat more as nourishing fruit.

Pears, oranges, grapefruit and other fruits have the functions of relieving cough and resolving phlegm, moistening the lungs and helping digestion, but eating too much can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort, toothache, hemorrhoids and even skin rash. Therefore, people with stomach trouble and cold stomach had better eat less.

People with qi deficiency and spleen deficiency should be especially careful when choosing cold fruits such as watermelon, cantaloupe, mango, pear and banana, and it is best not to eat them. Qi deficiency generally refers to people or children with insufficient qi and weak strength. Such people are generally pale, thin and unable to eat; Spleen deficiency means poor digestive system and slow intestinal peristalsis. Therefore, the more you eat cool fruit, the more you will reduce gastrointestinal peristalsis and make your muscles weak. Eating too much will lead to bloating due to indigestion. Therefore, the elderly and children with poor gastrointestinal function are not suitable for eating cold fruits. If they really want to eat, they can eat less after lunch and before dinner, but not too much.

Cold fruits in summer: cantaloupe, watermelon, pear, banana, kiwi, mango, persimmon, water chestnut, wax gourd, grapefruit, etc.

Suitable crowd: excess heat constitution

Warm fruits tonify deficiency and cold.

Although there are many cool fruits in summer, among many fruits, such as litchi, longan and apricot, which are warm, they are still popular. Especially people with deficiency-cold constitution have deficiency of qi and spleen, low basal metabolic rate, less heat generated in the body, and their limbs are cold even in summer. Comparatively speaking, these people are whiter than ordinary people, and they are seldom thirsty, and they don't like touching cold things, including entering air-conditioned rooms. Therefore, it is undoubtedly a good cold tonic for these people to eat more warm fruits.

However, for most people, eating too much warm fruit in hot weather is easy to get angry. For example, litchi contains hypoglycemic ingredients, and if you eat too much, you will have a low sugar reaction. For people with hot constitution, they can't eat warm fruits because they are full of energy, difficult to fall asleep at night and have high metabolic rate. In addition, children with fever or inflammation of an organ should try to avoid eating it.

Warm fruits in summer: litchi, peach, longan, guava, cherry, coconut, durian, apricot, etc.
