Dog days are coming! What taboos can't be committed in dog days?

Blowing the air conditioner for a long time without opening the window for ventilation, eating only fruit without eating, drinking cold drinks and eating cold food, taking a cold bath, not exercising and not sweating are all taboos that can't be committed in the dog days.

This is unbearable in the dog days. Many people like to blow the air conditioner for a long time, and are unwilling to leave the air-conditioned room for a long time without opening the window for ventilation. This is the last taboo to commit in dog days. Although blowing air conditioning for a long time will make the body feel cool, the indoor air will get worse and worse because of sealing, which is easy to make people get air conditioning disease. Moreover, in places with poor ventilation environment, it is easy to cause heatstroke. Therefore, in dog days, even if the heat is unbearable, we should always open the window for ventilation and moderately blow air conditioning.

Eating only fruit instead of eating in dog days is a lifestyle of many people, which is also a warning that you can't do it in dog days, because it is an unhealthy lifestyle. Although hot weather makes people feel no appetite, eating some fruits can supplement water and vitamins for the body, but in dog days, people will sweat a lot and consume too much energy. Eating only fruit can't meet the nutritional needs of the body at all, which easily leads to the decline of human immunity and the high incidence of various diseases, which is not good for the body. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a balanced nutrition in dog days, and pay attention to supplementing protein, vitamins and minerals.

Drinking cold drinks and eating cold food is also a no-no in dog days. It's hot, and people feel that they have no appetite for anything. At this time, people like to drink cold drinks, eat cold food, and also like to eat food just taken out of the refrigerator, but they don't know that these cold drinks and cold food have extremely obvious stimulating effects on people's stomachs, which are easy to cause vasoconstriction of gastric mucosa, make gastric mucosa thinner, prone to edema and ulcers, and also cause high incidence of gastrointestinal inflammation, which is unfavorable to human digestive system and will cause discomfort such as abdominal pain and diarrhea.

Not exercising, taking a cold bath and sweating are all taboos that can't be made in dog days. When the weather is hot, taking a cold bath will only make your heart beat faster, your muscles contract, and you will be nervous, which will affect many organs of your body. In dog days, because of the hot weather, staying in an air-conditioned room for a long time, unwilling to move and not letting the body sweat, will affect the normal metabolism of the body, accumulate a lot of toxins in the body and endanger health.
