Summer is a suitable season for sweating. Fan Yupeng, chief physician at the Center for Treatment of Disease of Guangdong Provincial Hospital, said that in the hot summer, the body’s yang energy reaches outward and has a tendency to move upward and outward, so proper sweating is good for health and can enhance metabolism and detoxification functions. What does “proper sweating” mean? Fan Yupeng explained, the correct sweating state, should be the upper body has a slight sweat, the body feels fresh; sweat will not be like running water dripping down, and people do not feel tired after sweating, sweat will not be yellow and smelly, and the body will not have a special sour odor. The elderly should not “sweat” Some older people are older, the body is more weak, sometimes even sweat, so they will feel that the elderly can sweat is better; but there are also older people feel that they are too easy to sweat, but easy to hurt the Yang Qi. What is the relationship between “sweating” and physical health? Fan Yupeng said, usually quiet state is not easy to sweat, in light aerobic exercise after a slight sweat, is a relatively healthy performance if in hot weather or after heavy exercise are not sweating; or sitting drinking a glass of warm water will be full of sweat, are not normal state. Since older people generally exercise less, “sweating” is definitely not appropriate. “The normal slight sweating has the effect of smooth meridians, but if like young adults, sweating flow like water, so for the elderly will be hurt Jin exhaust gas.” Fan Yupeng stressed that especially the elderly feel tired and thirsty after sweating, it means that Yang Qi has been damaged. Since this is the case, do exercise in summer to control the length of time, try not to make yourself sweat a lot in a short time. Fan Yupeng said that the best state of summer exercise is to feel refreshed after exercise, rather than full of fatigue want to sleep. In addition, the amount of exercise should be evenly distributed, it is best to adhere to the same time and amount of exercise every day, and should not stay at home for a few days without moving, only find a day a week to play ball or do a lot of exercise. After exercise can not immediately blow air conditioning, hot towels can be used to dry the sweat on the body, put on clean clothes, avoid cold showers and cold towel wipe body. Chinese medicine tea drink to “collect sweat” Even in the same temperature and environment, some people are others sweat more, so there is no way to make them “collect” a little sweat? Fan Yupeng said that the abnormal sweating needs to be classified according to the body type. Generally speaking, there are three types of body sweat: one is the qi deficiency physique, that is, qi deficiency guard table is not solid, a little movement will sweat profusely, and sweat clear, sweat like water, no odor, and even some people sweat is light no salty, also accompanied by feeling tired, short of breath; two is the damp heat physique, that is, damp heat contains steam, the performance of sweat slightly sticky, there is a heavy sour odor, some sweat is even yellow The third is Yin deficiency, characterized by sweaty palms and feet, accompanied by sleeplessness, dry mouth and dry eyes. For the three different physique, Fan Yupeng give according to different physique to carry out Chinese medicine diet tea drink. Qi deficiency: Astragalus membranaceus 10 grams, white ginseng (raw ginseng) 5 grams, Wu Wei Zi 2 grams, 15 grams of floating wheat, boiled in water as a tea drink, with beneficial Qi to fix the surface, can regulate the body, improve sweating. Damp-heat: 5 grams of lotus leaf, 5 grams of light bamboo leaf, 15 grams of barley. It can relieve summer heat, clear the heart and diuretic, and improve the damp-heat constitution. Yin deficiency: 5 grams of Ume plum and 5 grams of raw licorice. It can sour and sweeten yin, converge and lower deficiency fire to improve dry mouth, dry eyes, insomnia and mouth ulcers caused by yin deficiency fire. If there is no diabetes can be added icing sugar seasoning as appropriate, the taste is better. In addition, now many older people will like to make their own tea to take with them. Fan Yupeng said, different tea drinks are also indications, not everyone can be used. Like light salt water, urinary system is not good, kidney function is declining, the need to limit salt people should not drink; and lemon water is acid collection, if the gas depression, thick tongue are not suitable; as for many Cantonese people like to bubble American ginseng tea has the effect of tonic, Fan Yu Peng said the body is cold and cold people can not drink, to use raw sun ginseng bubble tea; and many older people like to use wolfberry chrysanthemum bubble tea, can be kidney, and clear the liver to clear heat Bright eyes, Fan Yupeng hinted that Yang deficiency is not suitable for people.
