Is hot weather good for your health?

The main ways for human body to discharge waste are defecation and urination, and waste gas can be discharged through breathing. Sweating is also the main way for the human body to discharge waste. Due to the large surface area of the human body, a large number of substances harmful to the human body can be discharged through the evaporation of sweat every day, thus reducing the burden on the kidneys and promoting metabolism.

2, a small amount of sweating can moisturize the skin.

There is a phenomenon in nature that things that are too dry are not born, and things that are too waterlogged are not born. Accordingly, proper sweating can moisturize the skin and ensure the moisture of the skin, thus avoiding the skin from being too dry and slowing down the skin aging. Of course, if you sweat too much and your skin is too wet, it is easy to breed bacteria or fungi and form dermatoses such as beriberi.

3, sweating can spread the lungs and eliminate evil.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the normal opening and closing of sweat pores is the normal expression of lung function. By regulating the excretion of sweat, the cardiopulmonary function of human body can be regulated. In addition, Chinese medicine believes that most exogenous pathogens invade through the body surface, and the most effective way to get rid of pathogens is sweating.

Sweating misunderstanding:

1, always turn on the air conditioner.

Many people have some misunderstandings about sweating in summer. The first thing to do is to turn on the air conditioner frequently, which will easily reduce the synthesis of heat stress protein in the body and reduce the tolerance to high temperature. Once you return to the environment where the heat wave is rolling outside, it will be difficult to adapt, and the sweat glands will fail for a long time, leading to heatstroke. People with hypertension and coronary heart disease are also prone to stroke and myocardial infarction.

2. Take a bath with cold water immediately after sweating.

You can't wash with cold water immediately after sweating in summer. After sweating, the blood vessels of the skin are still in a state of expansion, and cold water is washed immediately. Stimulating the skin with cold water will make the blood vessels contract, but it will make it difficult to dissipate heat and raise the body temperature.

At the same time, the sudden increase in blood flow back to the heart will increase the burden on the heart. Also, after the body enters the cold environment from the hot environment, it is too late to adapt to the adjustment, and it is often easy to catch a cold or cause gastrointestinal cramps. After sweating, muscle fatigue and tension increase. At this time, if you are stimulated by cold, it may also cause cramps.
