It is said that it is very important to keep healthy in dog days. How to maintain health?

Now it has entered the dog days. The ancients actually paid special attention to the dog days. Dog days are the most abundant season of the year, and people's bodies are relatively abundant. In dog days, the weather is not only hot, but also severely humid in summer. If you don't pay attention to your health, you will easily get sick. On the contrary, if you pay special attention to health care at this time, you can also play the role of treating winter diseases in summer! It is said that keeping in good health in dog days is very important, so how should we keep in good health? Next, let's take a closer look.

First, how to maintain health in dog days

1, reasonable work and rest

Hot weather is easy to make people tired, so be sure to keep enough sleep, go to bed early and get up early at night and be full of energy!

2. Diet tips

Hot weather suits a light diet. Eat more fruits and vegetables and foods rich in fiber, such as watermelon, cucumber, cold salad, etc., to help the body dissipate heat and moisturize the skin. At the same time, drink plenty of water to keep water balance and avoid heatstroke.

3, heatstroke prevention and cooling

Avoid outdoor activities in time in hot summer. If you need to go out, remember to wear a hat, sunglasses and light-colored long sleeves, and use sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun. When you get home, you can apply cold water or ice cubes to your face, wash your hands and feet, relieve fatigue and lower your body temperature.

Step 4: Move.

Appropriate participation in outdoor sports, such as morning running and swimming, and indoor sports, such as yoga and pilates, are all good choices. Exercise can promote metabolism, enhance physical fitness and improve immunity.

Step 5 be in a good mood

Happy mood is the secret of health! Get together with friends and relatives, enjoy food, play, or watch a comedy. Laughter can always make people forget the heat of summer and keep a good attitude.

6. Volunteer activities

Take advantage of the rest time to participate in volunteer activities, help others, nourish the soul and add positive energy to society.

Second, the dog days are suitable.

1, dry back (natural moxibustion)

The direct way of warming yang and benefiting qi is that the back meridians run through the whole body, and the sun shines on the back, cleaning up the accumulated cold in the body and dredging the meridians. The drying time is about 9: 00 am and 5: 00 pm, each lasting 15-30 minutes. The back is bare and the head is well protected from the sun.

Step on the ground (ground moxibustion)

In addition to drying your back, it is also good to walk barefoot on the hot floor, which can dispel dampness and drive away cold. The temperature of stepping on the ground should not be too high, and the time is the same as drying the back. Don't expose your head to the sun, you can step on it with an umbrella, and don't step on it during menstruation and pregnancy. Don't blow air to replenish water in time after stepping on the ground with dry back.

3, moxibustion

If you have the habit of moxibustion at ordinary times, you can use the combination of day moxibustion+ground moxibustion+moxibustion+three moxibustion to change it, unblock arthralgia, restore yang and strengthen body resistance, and put on dry clothes in time after sweating.

Step 4 soak your feet

Boil the water with pepper and thick Jiang Ye and pour it into the bucket. Add a proper amount of water and soak it in Sanyinjiao point, not over the ankle. Eliminating dampness and dispelling cold, promoting blood circulation and improving sleep quality can be achieved by soaking in 15 minutes and sweating slightly.

Step 5 take a nap

Take a nap in dog days to nourish yang and yin. At noon, from 1 1 to 13, it is the time when man meets nature and his mind is in season. Take a nap 15-60 minutes, which was called "Heyang" by the ancients.

6, ginger rice tea

I often stay in an air-conditioned room in summer, so I need to discharge the old damp and cold, strengthen yang and replenish qi, so that I won't get cold syndrome easily in winter, especially for friends who like to drink ice drinks and have a big belly. Ginger rice tea, scraping oil to discharge cold and dampness; 2: 1 Stir-fry rice and shredded ginger until brown, and drink each time.

7. Wu Mei Sandou Beverage

Improve the state of upper heat and lower cold, such as anxiety, dry mouth and acne, lower abdomen, cold hands and feet, dysmenorrhea, palace cold, etc. Dark plum beans are warm and cold, and spleen and stomach weakness are also applicable. Soak black beans, mung beans and soybeans in advance 10g for one night, then cook three beans and dark plum for 1 hour until the beans bloom, and add appropriate amount of sugar.

Third, dog days are taboo.

1, dog days note:

Cervical vertebra is afraid of blowing, hair is afraid of being wet, stomach is afraid of drinking cold water quickly, eyes are afraid of sun exposure, and morning exercises are afraid of being early.

2. Avoid doing six things:

Sweat without taking a cold bath, and don't sleep naked at night.

Gastrointestinal can't eat cold drinks and water can't be drunk too fast.

The skin can't be exposed to the sun, and the body can't blow the air conditioner for a long time.

3. Fruits that should not be eaten more:

Pitaya is cool, cold and wet, so it is not suitable to eat more.

Litchi, a hot fruit, is easy to get angry and excrete when eaten too much.

Watermelon contains too much sugar, which easily hurts the spleen and stomach.

Mango, hot and humid fruit, eat more to increase body moisture.

Personal experience: I personally suggest not to stay in an air-conditioned room all the time in dog days. You should still sweat properly in summer, but heatstroke also enters a period of high incidence in dog days. In the impression of many people, working in the scorching sun is easy to get heatstroke. In fact, in the environment with high temperature and poor ventilation effect, the human body is most vulnerable to the invasion of summer evil, and people who often shuttle between high temperature environment and low temperature air conditioning places are more likely to catch a cold in summer. In case of heatstroke and cold, you should go to a regular hospital for medical treatment in time.
