The four elements of the summer solstice must be remembered, the two health soup Yiqi Qi Qing summer

Today is the summer solstice of the twenty -four solar terms a year, which means the arrival of summer. People's common feelings about summer are a word -hot! In the southern region, the climate characteristics of high temperature, low pressure and high humidity in summer and long summer are also known as "two highs and one low" in the midsummer and long summer.

Entering the hot summer, people most often encountered include sweating, loss of appetite, no goblin, heat stroke, asthma, gastrointestinal diseases, etc., especially for people with insufficient blood and blood. Essence How can we spend this long summer season safely and comfortably? Wang Peng, deputy chief physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, put forward four main points of health: good rest, not greedy, prevent food, and remove dampness and heat.

① Good rest

Wang Peng said that according to the characteristics of summer, it is recommended to go to bed at night from 22: 00 to 23: 00, and the best time to get up is 5: 30 ~ 6: 30. At least seven or eight hours of sleep time is guaranteed every day, which will help Make people's internal organs fully rest and adjust. At noon, it is recommended to take avective nap, half an hour to one hour, but be careful not to be cold, do not be full for lunch, and pay attention to the nap posture. It is not recommended to sit or lie down.

② Not greedy

Entering summer, it is "sighing air conditioners" day and night. Wang Peng reminds that when using air conditioners, it is not appropriate to adjust the temperature too low, nor should it be turned on the air conditioner all night. The desk must not be arranged in the cold wind. Before you enter the air -conditioned room when you sweat, you must remember to replace the sweaty clothes and dry the sweat. Do not stand at the air -conditioned air outlet for a while. For some middle -aged and elderly friends, it is recommended to use towels and other clothes to cover it. Raising knees, necks, etc., this is the most easily cold and discomfort. If you feel cool, you can stand up and move your limbs and bodies to prevent cold air invasion.

In addition to air conditioners, many neighborhoods will choose to spread mats to make their sleep more cool and comfortable, but it should be noted that elderly people, asthma patients, and poor gastrointestinal function are best not to choose a cool bamboo mat , Mahjong seat.

③

Because entering summer, people often become lazy and unwilling to move because of the hotness. At this time, the problem of "accumulation" is also prone to occur, especially those who are old and weak and children. Anti -acid, in severe cases, there will also be vomiting. For friends who are prone to accumulating food, Wang Peng suggested that you can choose to help digestible hawthorn, Chen Qu, malt, chicken inner gold, Lai Xunzi, etc. If it is because of spleen deficiency Caused stagnation with spleen, yam, poria, and other spleen; if there are damp -heat patients with foods such as barley.

In addition, you can also help the neighborhoods to prevent the accumulation of food and stomach through the methods of acupuncture and massage of traditional Chinese medicine to make the stomach more refreshing and comfortable.

④ Exconsuration and heat

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is related to the function of wet evil that is easy to damage the spleen and stomach. Changxia wet evil is the most better, so there is a saying that "spleen disease starts in Changxia". Modern medicine believes that high temperature and high humidity cause gastrointestinal function to inhibit state, reduce gastric gland secretion, and increased sweating also requires a lot of drinking water to replenish body fluids, making the gastric juice that was originally less diluted, which is called "inverse concentration difference".
