The dog days of 20 17 start from July 12 and last for 30 days. The following are the misunderstandings and precautions of health care knowledge brought by everyone. Welcome to reading.

Eat tangerine peel Pu 'er tea to relieve summer heat and reduce blood fat.

Cantonese people love to drink soup, and cooling off summer heat can also be solved by drinking soup. Among them, boiled duck with melon and barley, and soup with melon, lentil, barley and lotus leaf can all achieve the effect of cooling off summer heat. People who go to work can choose to make a cup of tea, which is simple and convenient, and can also cool off the heat. A faint scent of tea can also relieve work pressure. The following three types are recommended:

1. summerheat chrysanthemum tea: chrysanthemum 5g, perilla leaf 10g, cassia seed 15g, medlar 5g, hot water 1000ml.

2. Lophatherum Bambusae and Grass Roots Tea: Lophatherum Bambusae 10g, Grass Roots 30g, Lotus Leaves 5g, * * * put in a thermos bottle, and inject boiling water 15min, which can clear away heat and diarrhea, facilitate defecation and prevent heatstroke.

3. Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae Pu 'er tea: 3-5 shreds of Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae or 2g pieces of Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, 5g leaves of Pu 'er tea soaked in water. Put a whole piece of dried tangerine peel into the pot, rinse it with boiling water first, then brew it with boiling water for about 15 seconds, and pour the tea soup into the cup. It can be brewed 8- 10 times at a time. It is the most economical and healthiest drink, which can reduce fat and moisten the lungs.

Remember to wear more clothes when staying in the air-conditioned room.

The "dog days" are the hottest and sultry days of the year, but office workers in office buildings have to deal with the "two days of ice and fire".

At present, most office buildings use central air conditioning, and the temperature is low. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that wind-cold can easily lead to poor circulation of qi and blood, stagnation and joint pain. Moreover, air conditioning wind can cause pore contraction, poor perspiration, and people in the office are prone to rash. The doctor reminded that office workers should never blow directly into the air conditioner in the office. If you can't avoid it because of the location, you need to prepare hats, scarves, scarves or long-sleeved clothes to cover the position where the wind blows directly.

The indoor air is stuffy, so use the treadmill less.

It's too hot. A little exercise makes you sweat, but you will feel more tired without exercise. What should I do? Doctors suggest that you can choose swimming, jogging and other sports in dog days. But it should be noted that don't blow against the wind after swimming, you need to dry your body first; Jogging needs to be done in the early morning or evening.

In some office buildings, treadmills are installed for the convenience of employees. The doctor said that the treadmill is not suitable for use in the dog days. Because from the perspective of Chinese medicine, "dog days" are suitable for doing some quiet stretching exercises, and the amount of exercise should not be too large, and the indoor sports air is stuffy and turbid.

Medically, cervical spondylosis can also be treated with natural moxibustion.

Tianjiu has many loyal fans, but when it comes to sticking medicine, most of them are old people and children. On the one hand, this is because the application time is mostly on weekdays, and many people think that moxibustion is only effective for respiratory diseases.

In fact, moxibustion therapy can also treat digestive system diseases, such as chronic gastritis, duodenal ulcer deficiency constipation, cervical spondylosis, scapulohumeral periarthritis, lumbar spondylosis, lumbar muscle strain, knee osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, dysmenorrhea due to deficiency of cold, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and so on.

The doctor told me that although moxibustion is best in dog days, if you miss it because of work and other reasons, the effect will be good in a day or two. Among them, citizens who missed the initial tendon can stick to it from the initial tendon for at least three times.

Five misunderstandings of health preservation in dog days

Myth 1: "Three-volt stickers" can cure all diseases.

With the arrival of dog days, major Chinese medicine hospitals have launched the "dog days paste", a characteristic therapy of traditional Chinese medicine. "Sanfutie" is a method of external treatment of internal diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, which is effective for respiratory diseases such as deficiency-cold disease and asthma, and indeed has the function of enhancing immunity and regulating internal environment. However, any kind of therapy has its limitations and cannot cure all diseases. Before making the "three-volt patch", you must consult your doctor in advance to see if it is appropriate. Pregnant women, patients with heart disease, those with excessive fire due to yin deficiency, and those with severe skin allergies are not suitable for the treatment of "three-volt patch".

Myth 2: Drink more mung bean soup to relieve summer heat.

For heatstroke prevention and cooling, many people like to drink mung bean soup. Although mung bean soup is good, don't drink too much, let alone drink it as water. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, people with cold constitution such as cold limbs, abdominal distension, diarrhea and loose stool should not drink more mung bean soup, otherwise it will aggravate symptoms and even cause other diseases. Especially for girls in menstrual period, it is not advisable to drink mung bean soup, so as not to harm the body and cause dysmenorrhea.

Myth 3: A bowl of mutton soup in dog days does not require a doctor to prescribe.

In dog days, many health recipes recommend drinking a big bowl of mutton soup for tonic. But drinking mutton soup for tonic in summer is only suitable for people with yang deficiency. Most people are in a sunny state in summer. Drinking too much mutton soup or eating too much mutton can lead to dry stool and getting angry. At this time, you can choose to take American ginseng.

American ginseng can be said to be the "number one scholar" in dog days. Because the dog days are most afraid of high temperature, that is, heat! Panax quinquefolium is a good choice for keeping healthy in dog days, because it can resist hypoxia, clear away deficiency fire and relieve summer heat. Especially after entering the dog days, people will feel thirsty, sweating, upset and insomnia, and depressed. Taking a proper amount of American ginseng in time at this time is like digging a sweet spring in the body, self-regulating human functions and ensuring the normal operation of the human body.

Myth 4: Soaking your feet with hot water in dog days can force out moisture.

In summer, the main reasons for people's weakness and indigestion are excessive sweating and insufficient yang, rather than cold in the body. Generally speaking, soaking feet has a certain effect on promoting digestion, but it can't get rid of dampness and cold. It is better to keep the water temperature at 39℃-42℃ in summer, as long as you feel warm, and the time is about 15 minutes, so you can sweat slightly. Drink some water to replenish water after soaking your feet.

Myth 5: "Practicing three volts in summer" can strengthen the body.

"Practice for three or nine days in winter and three days in summer" is the slogan of many middle-aged and elderly people's movements, especially in dog days. The park is full of middle-aged and elderly people sweating like rain. Chinese medicine experts from the First Affiliated Hospital of Heilongjiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine reminded: "In the dog days, it is still necessary to take a quiet rest and avoid sweating. Middle-aged and elderly people must not exercise excessively in midsummer. Sweating can lead to blood viscosity, and hot weather can lead to heart disease and cerebral infarction. "

Health care precautions in dog days

1 to avoid "sudden cooling" after heating. In hot summer, when people go out or come back from work, they like to either turn on the electric fan or take a cold bath immediately, which will make the pores of the whole body close quickly, but the heat in the body is difficult to dissipate, and it will also cause insufficient blood supply to the brain due to the rapid contraction of blood vessels in the brain, which makes people dizzy.

2. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor air conditioners should not be too large. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor air conditioners should not exceed 5 degrees. Even if the weather is hot again, the indoor temperature of the air conditioner should not be lower than 24 degrees.

3, should not wear metal jewelry. Some metals in metal ornaments are contaminated by sweat, and the skin may be red or itchy, which may easily lead to contact dermatitis.

Remember to prepare sunscreen when you go out in summer. It is best not to walk in the hot sun from 10 to 4 pm. If you must go out at this time, you must take good protection, such as umbrella, sun hat and sunglasses, and it is best to apply sunscreen.

5, daily life should be regular, don't stay up late often, and ensuring adequate sleep is also an effective measure to prevent heatstroke. Be careful not to lie under the air conditioner outlet and electric fan when sleeping.

6. It is not recommended to carry out strenuous activities such as mountain climbing outdoors and during the day. It is recommended to choose sports activities such as swimming and jogging in the morning and evening.

7. Drink plenty of boiled water and drink water regularly. Don't wait until you are thirsty. It is not advisable to binge drink after thirst. Drink less fruit juice, soda and other drinks, which contain more saccharin and electrolyte. Drinking too much will cause bad stimulation to the gastrointestinal tract and affect digestion and appetite.

8. It is not advisable to drink too much. In summer, human body is easily affected by temperature, and excessive damp heat is the cause of skin sores, carbuncle and toxic swelling. If you drink a lot of white wine, it will contribute to dryness and dampness, which is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

9. The diet should not be too light. In summer, people have long activities, sweat a lot and consume a lot. They should eat more nutritious foods such as chicken, duck, lean meat, fish and eggs to meet the needs of human metabolism. Seasonal vegetables in summer, such as lettuce, cucumber and tomato, have high water content. Fresh fruits, such as peaches, apricots, watermelons and melons, have a water content of 80-90% and can be used to replenish water.

10, the nap time should not be too long. If the nap time is too long, the central nervous system will deepen the inhibition, the cerebral blood flow will be relatively reduced, and the metabolic process will slow down, leading to discomfort after waking up and more sleepiness.
