Summer, everything is vibrant, leafy season, but for women is often a period of frequent physical trouble. Experts have their own unique insights into summer health. 1, maintain a good state of mind – emotional health Summer heat, people are easily irritable, irritable, aggravated by the heat of the heat is difficult to tolerate. According to Chinese medicine, “all diseases are born from qi”, abnormal emotions can lead to liver qi stagnation, qi stagnation and blood stasis, spleen and stomach disorders, endocrine disorders, reduced immune function and other evidence. As the saying goes, “A quiet heart cools the body”. When the heart is quiet, the body’s qi is normal and it will perform its normal immune regulation function, so it is important to adjust the mind. There are many ways to calm the mind, active methods such as quiet reading, flowers, embroidery, etc., or passive methods such as going for beauty treatments, SPA, etc. can make the mood relaxed. Or exercise methods such as walking, swimming, etc. Food therapy, with a clear heart and liver to relieve the summer heat food are mung bean soup, mint tea, patchouli tea, lotus seed heart tea, etc. 2, to ensure adequate sleep – sleep regimen “women rely on sleep”. Lack of sleep is the norm in summer, lack of sleep will cause a decline in energy and stamina, long-term sleep deprivation will cause memory loss, a decline in human immune function and gastrointestinal disorders. Some people are sluggish and sleepy during the day because they don’t sleep well at night. My method is to close the bedroom doors and windows an hour before bedtime, open enough air conditioning to bring down the room temperature, and turn off the air conditioning when you go to bed. Or living room air conditioning, bedroom door open, let the cold air diffuse in. That is, “indirect air conditioning”. Of course, a short lunch break will also make up for some sleep. In addition, dinner should also avoid eating too much fat, sweet and thick, to increase the burden on the spleen and stomach. Before going to bed, try to avoid engaging in things that make the nerves overexcited, such as watching horror movies, talking about angry things, drinking tea or coffee, etc., to ensure mental stability before bedtime, which helps to fall asleep quickly. 3, beware of “air conditioning disease” – defense against external evil modern cities, air conditioning has been the necessary indoor facilities, some people like to stay in air-conditioned rooms, cars, once the body sweat out immediately into the colder room, the pores immediately closed, it will The “cold pack fire”, that is, “heat injury”. The body is blown directly against the fan or air conditioning will be “wind” and hair joint muscle pain. Blowing directly on the face will induce “trigeminal neuralgia”, “facial paralysis” and so on. My experience is that if there is sweat on your body, it is best to transition a little in the corridor, aisles and other places; if you are in the air conditioning room for a long time, try to avoid the air vents directly to the body, or always bring a thin coat to cover up. Avoid sleeping under the open doors and windows. 4, moderate greedy cold drinking cold – to prevent internal injuries in summer, a variety of cold drinks, ice cream, chilled food is a great temptation. However, the Chinese spleen and stomach is “hot food gene”, more adaptable to warm food, long-term gluttonous cold drink chilled food, will damage the spleen and stomach, resulting in the spleen and stomach cold, plus, food refrigeration does not destroy bacteria, often causing gastroenteritis. My advice is to limit the amount at one time, do not eat too much at once; frozen food out first at room temperature under a put, called “sweating”, and then eat. When eating, cold and hot food cross-eating, is to eat some cold, and then eat some hot; and then, according to your body type to choose food, if you are usually afraid of cold, cold hands and feet, loose stools and other cold body, then eat less, if you are Yang Sheng body, afraid of heat, like cold, then eat more can not hurt. Special reminder of menstruating women, try to eat less cold food, excessive greed for cold drinking cold will cause dysmenorrhea. 5, keep private hygiene – gender health Summer, women are prone to vaginal, urethral and vulvar infections, especially during the menstrual period. Women are advised to change their menstrual pads regularly, preferably for no more than 2 hours, not to use sanitary pads for a long time, and to change their underwear regularly, preferably not to use chemical fiber material underwear. Wash your private parts with flowing water, and try not to use all kinds of detergents and disinfectants to avoid destroying the balance of the vulva or vagina’s own flora. Drink more water and do not hold urine to keep the urethra clean. 6, choose the right way to exercise – life is in motion Due to the hot weather, people’s outdoor activities to be greatly reduced, sedentary indoor, sedentary less moving, many women friends will find that after the summer grow a lot of meat. My own weight thirty years unchanged, how to maintain it? The principle is to be a “not lazy woman”, take advantage of any opportunity to move, exercise. In summer, use the time to walk in the morning and evening, if you are afraid of the sun, in the evening after dinner, walk, walk fast, walk until the body sweats, heart rate increases, time an hour or so. Rainy days, hazy days can be indoors, do yoga, gymnastics, now there are many videos online, choose a set of suitable for yourself, less complicated, and insist on doing. For friends who love to watch TV, do “five-finger comb”, “dry cleaning”, “foot rub” and so on during commercial time, can also play a role in exercise and health care. The most quiet exercise is to meditate, sit cross-legged straight, excluding distractions, can also achieve the purpose of exercise. 7, homemade health food – self-care Here, I recommend several homemade health food silver fungus lily jujube soup: silver fungus (soaked to remove the hard root torn into small pieces) 20 grams, lily 10 grams, 5 jujube (remove the core), add water with a casserole decoction for 30 minutes, add rock sugar before the pot.
