It's long summer today, so why cultivate your mind?

Health-keeping principle of long summer solar terms-nourishing the heart

Care for the heart: the heart is the yang, which is the main yang, that is to say, the heart is the yang in the yang. Heart yang can promote blood circulation, maintain human life activities and make it full of vitality, while heart and summer qi are in harmony, that is, heart yang is the most vigorous and powerful in summer. In the long summer, around April of the lunar calendar, the weather is getting hotter and the plants are flourishing. This season is conducive to the physiological activities of the heart, so people should follow it when the solar terms intersect, which is the best time to maintain the heart.

Keep a peaceful mind: after a long summer, the weather is getting hot. Chinese medicine believes that "summer heat is easy to hurt qi" and "summer heat is easy to enter the heart". In midsummer, we should pay special attention to mental health preservation, because the spirit is sufficient, the function of the human body will be vigorous and coordinated, and the spirit will be relaxed, and all the functions of the human body will be destroyed. We should pay attention to mental conditioning, maintain a refreshing state, and avoid great sadness and joy, so that the qi in the body can be freely expressed and vented, and the emotions can be externalized to avoid sadness, physical injury and mental injury, especially for the elderly.
