In the rainy season, health care must be done well in these six aspects

The season of "Meiyu" is here, and the weather presents the characteristics of high temperature and high humidity. Professor Wang Changsong, director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Affiliated to Southeast University, reminds everyone that the health of the summer solstice needs to achieve the following six aspects.

Spiritual reconciliation

The summer solstice must have a happy mood. You can make yourself happy and happy through singing, dancing, outing, and watching easy and interesting TV shows. At the same time, we must avoid bad emotions such as slackness, depression and anger.

Dietary recuperation

Eat more sour food. Because the bitterness is in the heart, you can clear your mind and get rid of annoyance. In summer, it is often annoying to make people feel troublesome. Eat bitter gourd, bitter vegetables, lettuce, celery, lettuce and other bitter vegetables, as well as making tea with green tea, buckwheat, lotus seed heart, dandelion, etc. Mind, remove annoyance, eliminate toxins in the body.

The salty taste enters the kidneys and can nourish yin and reduce fire. The high temperature weather in the summer solstice increases people's sweating, causing salt loss, causing electrolyte disorders and affecting cardiac and kidney function. Therefore, after exercise or sweating in summer, you can drink some salt water or sugar salt water to supplement salt in time to improve the symptoms of weakness. Other suitable salty foods include saline duck, salted duck eggs, duck blood, braised eggs, pork, pork hearts, etc.

The sour taste can converge the yin and live. Eating at most sour food in the summer solstice can play a role in converging and solidifying the table and refreshing quenching thirst. Such as sour plum soup, sauerkraut fish, vinegar, cucumber, cucumber mixing cucumber, cowpea, sour radish strip, jujube drink and sea buckthorn juice, etc., are all good products for summer heat.

Adjust your life

To sleep well, the summer solstice is short, and the yang is promoted to the outside. In the morning, it will not be easy to fall asleep due to irritability. Therefore, it is recommended to sleep late, go to bed at 11 o'clock, and get up at about 7 o'clock to conform to the changes in yin and yang in nature. People who are old and weak should go to bed early and get up early, and keep up with sufficient sleep every day in accordance with their own schedule.

After lunch, you should take a nap for 30 minutes. It can avoid the hot trend of midsummer at noon, but also supplement sleep, eliminate fatigue, and restore energy in time.

Appropriate exercise

Choose to exercise in the early morning or evening. It is advisable to be fresh places such as rivers and lakes, water, and park courtyards. The exercise projects are better for walking, playing Tai Chi, and doing radio gymnastics to avoid strenuous exercise.

Prevention

Focus on conservation of heart and kidney, prevent coronary heart disease, myocarditis, acute myocardial infarction, hypertension, urinary tract infection, acute and chronic nephritis, insomnia, heat stroke, acute gastroenteritis and other diseases.

Be careful to prevent cold and dampness

Do not be too low in the temperature of the air conditioner. Do not blow off the air conditioner or fan, dry it in time after bathing, shampooing, etc. Watermelon, mung bean soup, and black bean soup are all good products for quenching thirst, but it should be eaten at room temperature and should not be frozen. Before going to bed at night, you can't eat a lot of cold fruits.
