What should we pay attention to in hot and humid days?

Recently, it has been rainy and hot all over the country, which often appears on the day of mulberry. Now, the heat has begun, and the situation will be more serious. Many friends will have abdominal distension, poor diet, heavy leg pain, dizziness and fatigue, and sticky stools at this time. Why is this? What should we pay attention to to to avoid? Chinese medicine believes that in midsummer, people's sweat holes are wide open and the sun's gas leaks out, just like animals and plants in nature, which is a season of growth and dispersion. Compared with the fiery heat on the body surface, the body is in a state of relatively insufficient yang. Why do you think the basement is cool in summer? This is because the sun is hot on the surface of the earth, and its "body" is also yang deficiency. Yang qi is the basis for the human body to maintain the continuation of life and the normal function of viscera, and all dynamic functions of the human body need the promotion and maintenance of Yang qi. If the yang is insufficient, the function of zang-fu organs will decrease accordingly. In the summer when the summer heat and humidity are severe, not only is the human body deficient in yang, but also the invasion of dampness. Wet is sticky and easy to hurt the yang. First of all, it will disturb the transport function of the spleen and stomach, so the appetite of mulberry will decrease on that day, especially those with poor digestive function, which are prone to abdominal distension, fullness and even fever in hands and feet. The moisture is heavy and turbid, which hurts the lower body most. If damp and heat stagnate, inflammation (such as pelvic inflammatory disease and vaginitis in gynecology), dermatitis, beriberi, ulceration and so on will appear in the lower part. On this day, patients with heart disease are also the most uncomfortable, because the heart is the organ that needs power most, and the lack of yang will inevitably lead to insufficient heart power, and symptoms such as chest tightness, irritability and irritability will appear. It can be seen that if you want to keep healthy in such weather, you need to know how to avoid the injury of yang. Cold is the first culprit. Whether it is an air-conditioned room or a cold drink, the cold inside and outside may damage the already insufficient yang in the body. Followed by wet turbidity, not the weather, but the diet. Eating a lot of seafood, beef, mutton and foods with high fat content will cause the accumulation of dampness in the body, making the outside wet and the inside wet, causing dizziness, fatigue, heavy waist and legs, and even vomiting and diarrhea. Chinese medicine says that "nourishing yang in spring and summer, nourishing yin in autumn and winter" is the truth. Lie down and get up early at night, and adjust your work and rest according to the rise and fall of the sun. You should eat a little light, soft and easy to digest, and eat more foods that can dispel dampness and strengthen the spleen, such as melon, loofah, coix seed, lotus seeds and lentils. Smooth urination and defecation are the best signs of yang function. Therefore, if there is poor urination or sticky stool, it is that the yang is damaged and wet. In addition, tongue coating is also very important. Look at the tongue coating before brushing your teeth every morning.
