Introduction: The change of four seasons is a natural law, and the weather characteristics of each season are very different. What should we pay attention to?

Three principles of speaking doorways

Talk about doorways

Health preservation is not a one-off event, we should pay attention to it all year round. The scorching sun is unbearable, and the days are long and the nights are short. Compared with other seasons, people should pay attention to the following aspects in diet:

1. Increase the intake of protein.

Sweating and losing water in hot weather will accelerate protein metabolism in human body, and then increase nitrogen excretion, thus making human body in a negative nitrogen balance state. Therefore, people must pay attention to increasing the intake of protein in summer, and eat more bean products, eggs, mung beans, tremella, jellyfish, kelp, sesame paste, milk, fish, shrimp, chicken and so on. These foods are high in protein and low in weight. The rising temperature accelerates the metabolism of human body, sweating a lot, leading to the decline of endurance and resistance, and symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, dry mouth and loss of appetite. Therefore, people need to replenish water in time and a diet containing vitamins and minerals with less heat production. Eating more watermelons, tomatoes, amaranth, cowpea, Chinese cabbage, cucumber, millet, lean pork, animal liver, eggs, milk and mung beans can supplement nutrition and increase physical strength. But don't drink too much, too fast or too much water at once. Drink a small amount of water many times. In summer, the gastrointestinal function will be weakened after the heat. Excessive consumption of cold fruits and frozen foods by the elderly will increase the burden on the heart and damage the digestive function. In order to ensure the normal gastrointestinal function, we should choose foods that are nutritious and resistant to summer heat, such as tomatoes and cucumbers. Adults eat about grams of tomatoes every day, which can basically meet the needs of the human body for vitamins and minerals; Cucumber can not only clear away heat and relieve summer heat, but also reduce blood fat, and malonic acid in fresh cucumber also has the effect of losing weight.

Eat more bitter

High temperature and humidity in summer often make people listless, tired and weak, chest tightness and dizziness, loss of appetite and emaciation. It's good to have some bitterness at this time. Bitter food has the functions of clearing away heat, relieving summer heat, invigorating spleen, eliminating dampness, relieving vexation, refreshing and invigorating stomach.

3. Tonifying should be beneficial to qi.

Chinese medicine has a "method of invigorating qi and preventing heatstroke", that is, in summer tonic, some drugs for invigorating qi should be selected and taken several times in order to strengthen the body resistance. Commonly used tonics include American ginseng and astragalus. Mashing 3 grams of Schisandra chinensis and decocting it instead of tea can cure qi deficiency, thirst and hyperhidrosis.

In short, the diet in summer is light, fresh and easy to digest, and eat less high-fat and spicy things that get angry. Pay attention to color, smell and taste in cooking to stimulate appetite. Drink plenty of water or all kinds of beneficial drinks. You can also make some cool food yourself, such as mung bean porridge, lotus seed porridge, lotus leaf porridge, red bean cake, sour plum soup, chrysanthemum tea and so on. You can also eat some fresh cold salad and add some seasonings such as vinegar, garlic paste and Jiang Mo, which can not only relieve summer heat and dampness, but also strengthen the spleen and kidney, and also inhibit bacteria and prevent diseases. In addition, we should also pay attention to hygiene in diet and health, and we should not overeat or overeat, otherwise it will hurt the digestive function of the stomach and cause indigestion, even diarrhea and bacillary dysentery.

Have knowledge in daily life

1. throw up early and get up early

Sunrise is early in summer, so you should go to bed early and get up early, and take a deep breath. Everything grows in summer, which is the best time to replenish yang in a year. In addition, the days are long and the nights are short, and the climate is sultry. Five or six in the morning is the best time to get up.

Appropriate nap

Taking a nap is one of the best ways to keep healthy. In hot summer, taking a nap is especially important. The nap time is generally 30 ~ 60 minutes. The effect it produces is affirmative, which can not only make up for the necessary sleep time, make the body have a full rest, restore nerve function as soon as possible, but also greatly enhance physical strength and improve work efficiency in the afternoon. Usually, after a short rest, people's energy will recover quickly, so some people call a nap a "gas station at work" and a "regulator in life". However, it is not appropriate to take a nap on the balcony, under trees, in the open air or in the lobby with direct airflow, on the cold and slippery concrete floor, or to wear strapless, collarless, tight-fitting or poorly breathable clothes. It is best to wear economical and practical cotton products, which are breathable and sweat-absorbent.

3. Avoid dampness and keep the room dry and ventilated.

In rainy season or hot weather, air conditioners can be used to dehumidify or cool rooms. In case of wading in rainy days, you can drink ginger juice to drive away cold and dampness. If you have symptoms such as heavy head and body heat, you can take relieving exterior syndrome and eliminating dampness. If clothes smell of sweat, take a bath and change clothes in time. After the rainy season, clothes and quilts must be dried to drive away the tide and eliminate mildew. Sweating people should not suddenly enter the air-conditioned room to blow. It is suggested to dry the sweat before entering the house, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should not be too large, which is beneficial to health and energy saving.

There are tricks to cool down.

1. Hang the curtains

In a room with direct sunlight, curtains must be hung to keep out the sunlight. Curtains should be made of light-colored materials that absorb less heat, and matched with shading cloth.

2. Indoor "refrigeration"

Putting some ice cubes or pots of water in the room, or sprinkling some water on the ground, or rubbing it everywhere, will help to absorb heat.

Take a bath several times a day.

You can take a bath several times a day, especially a warm bath in the morning and evening, which is very beneficial to heatstroke prevention and cooling. Some people are eager to be cool after sweating, and like to take a cold bath. However, I didn't expect that when sweating a lot, the capillaries were in a state of expansion, the temperature suddenly dropped, and the blood vessels contracted sharply, which was not good for anyone, and even caused seizures or muscle joint discomfort, leading to disorder of body temperature regulation. Even if it is inconvenient to take a bath several times a day, it is beneficial to wash your hands with tap water several times.

4. Moderate cooling

Electric fans and air conditioners are necessary cooling equipment for every family in summer. However, neither electric fans nor air conditioners can directly cool the body. Instead, we should adopt "circuitous tactics" and use "breeze", "shaking our heads" or "wind back" (blowing directly at the wall and then turning the wind back). Especially after sleeping, even young people can't adjust to the high gear to blow straight, so as not to get cold on the face, waist and abdomen, joints and so on. Therefore, the cooling should be as mild as possible, and the elderly and children should shake the fan to cool down. The air conditioning temperature should be set between 25℃ and 27℃, and the indoor and outdoor temperature difference should not exceed 65438 00℃. 1 ~ 3 hours later, shut down and keep indoor natural ventilation.

In summer, you should pay attention to health and drinking water.

Summer is the season with the highest yang, and the climate is hot and full of vitality. At this time, it is a period of metabolism, with yang as the outside and yin as the inside, and the blood circulation is correspondingly vigorous and active on the body surface. Therefore, it is very important to maintain health in summer, but we should also pay attention to drinking water. Only by drinking it correctly can we achieve the effect of health preservation.

Drink water if you are not thirsty.

You can't wait until you are thirsty. Thirst is a sign that your body is slightly dehydrated. In summer, add about 0 ml of water every day to meet the needs of the human body.

You can't drink too much when you are thirsty.

Thirst and binge drinking will unbalance water and salt in body fluids, cause severe gastrointestinal pain and endanger life safety.

If you are sweating, you should add salt.

After sweating heavily in summer, you should drink some light salt water properly.

Eat less cold drinks after sweating.

In fact, most of the water molecules in cold boiled water are in the state of polymerization, which is not easy to penetrate into cells, while there are more single molecules in hot boiled water, which can quickly penetrate into cells, so that the water-deficient body can be replenished in time.

It is not advisable to drink more pure water.

Because in the process of making pure water, not only some harmful bacteria, organic substances and other impurities are removed, but also minerals beneficial to human health are removed.

Summer heatstroke often soaks feet.

Summer is often wet, and the spleen is most afraid of being wet. When dampness is blocked in the spleen and stomach, there will be manifestations such as loss of appetite, lethargy and listlessness. In summer, the human body has the strongest yang. Soaking feet (foot bath) with warm water can better * * * meridians, invigorate the function of human viscera, help to relieve summer heat and dampness, prevent colds, refresh people, stimulate appetite and promote sleep. People with poor spleen and stomach are more suitable. From the point of view of meridians, the foot is one of the most dense parts, and each zang-fu organ has a corresponding reflection area, through which the meridians of important zang-fu organs such as spleen, stomach, liver and kidney pass. When soaking feet, you can also achieve the effect of viscera through the conduction of meridians.

Soaking feet before going to bed is better than taking tonic.

Soaking feet is also very particular. "It is better to take tonic than to wash your feet before going to bed". Soak your feet with warm water of about 40℃ (ankle is submerged) before going to bed, 20 ~ times each time (water can be heated to keep the water temperature). It is better for the skin to turn red after soaking. You can also use your hands, toes and soles. Generally speaking, one foot bath every night can achieve the purpose of health care, and it is best to go to bed within half an hour after washing, or twice in the morning and evening (usually 1 time in the morning and 1 time before going to bed at night). The foot bath time should not be too long each time, but for those with chronic rheumatoid arthritis and chronic hypertension, it can be extended appropriately. The specific time should be gradually adjusted according to age, gender, illness and feelings after soaking feet.

Different Chinese medicines have different indications for foot bath.

You can also soak your feet in Pogostemon cablin soup in summer. Take 30-50g of Pogostemon cablin, put it into 2000ml of water, fry it with strong fire for 40min, and then fry it with slow fire to1000ml. After taking the juice, add 2000ml of water and fry it to 1000ml. Put the two decoctions into a basin and soak your feet. The extent of the potion is that it has soaked your ankle.

Chinese medicine practitioners with clinical experience should be invited to prescribe Chinese medicine to soak feet according to our specific situation.

Family foot bath is also taboo.

Family foot bath should also pay attention to the following points: you can't take foot bath immediately after meals, so as not to affect digestion; When soaking feet, the indoor environment should be quiet and comfortable, and the room temperature should be moderate. Don't blow directly and relax. The water temperature should be kept warm, too cold can easily cause colds and other discomfort, and too hot can burn the skin, especially for diabetics. People suffering from burns, pustulosis, chickenpox, measles and foot trauma should not take foot bath; The water temperature of chapped foot skin should not be too high, and vaseline should be applied after soaking and washing. Cover your knees with a big towel to keep warm in winter, dry your feet immediately after foot bath, and pay attention to keeping your feet warm; Pay attention to observation during foot soaking. If there are any abnormal situations such as unconsciousness, pallor and cold sweat, stop immediately and notify the family members to deal with them in time.

In addition, many people like to wash their feet with cold water in summer, thinking that it can cool down and cool off the heat and feel more comfortable. In fact, this is not conducive to the blood circulation of lower limbs, and it is harmful to the body for a long time and should be avoided.

Conclusion: The summer weather is dry, and the water in the body is particularly easy to evaporate. In this season, we must do a good job in keeping warm and preventing heatstroke and cooling down.
