As the saying goes, “The mind is quiet and naturally cool. Often humming a little song, the ancients did not have air conditioning, their way to relieve the heat is to think about the world of ice and snow, which speaks of the coolness of the heart. However, loose quiet is not slack. Because at any time, mental inactivity is harmful to health, people should still work hard, study seriously, and actively participate in various beneficial activities. 2, the diet, clear and not light summer to drink more water, eat more bitter melon, loofah, winter melon, can clear the summer diuretic, adhere to the “clear” is the main. Not light, is to moderate the amount of salt. We are now very taboo on salt, high salt has an impact on blood pressure, this problem, have to be treated on a case-by-case basis, spring, autumn, winter can not be more salt, but the summer can moderate a little more salt, because you sweat more, more salt discharged. 3, the environment, cool but not cold summer you take out of the refrigerator, or we eat too cold things, the outside temperature of thirty-seven or eight degrees, you eat into the thing four degrees five degrees, and the body temperature difference of more than thirty degrees, then a go in, the mucosa sharply contracted, easy to cause gastrointestinal disease. We have been seeing patients over the years, there is a very strange phenomenon, the summer see all the winter diseases, young boys say cervical pain, leg pain, knee pain, young girls dysmenorrhea powerful. Why? It’s too cold! As soon as the summer is blowing on the air conditioning. So coughs, colds, asthma, joint pains, cervical spondylosis, all these diseases that are good in winter, are now good in summer. In summer you still need to contact nature, still need to have some sweat, spring, summer, autumn and winter four distinct, is the normal law of nature. 4, exercise, reduce and constantly summer sweating, in addition to the environment on the human body qi and blood loss is also more. Therefore, the amount of exercise to be reduced, time to control, you want to exercise in the cooler time. Exercise is still very important, it can not be broken, but to have a little difference with the winter autumn . 5, sleep, lack of but not less Midday (noon) and the son (late at night), these two times is the key moment of the transition of yin and Yang, this time you do not work, must sleep, the secret of longevity is to sleep meridian. Summer night sleeplessness, objectively caused by “lack of sleep”. So we must use the “night loss day supplement” method, that is, adhere to the moderate nap, to achieve a balance of sleep day and night. Second, a treasure to help sleep, pearl powder summer sleep is not good, one is related to the heat, the other is the weather is hot, people are easily irritable in the spirit, so it is important to calm the mind. The effect of pearl powder is to calm the mind, in the past the ancients used it to treat children’s cramps, or our usual liver Yin deficiency caused by a variety of shock. If you are restless in summer, use pearl powder to calm your mind, this is possible and effective. Dosage: Pearl powder is usually used about 1 gram, if the amount of large can also be used to 3 grams. Swallowing pearl powder is easy to pull the throat, if insomnia is not very strong, then use about 1 gram, can also be used in capsules. Dosing time: an hour to half an hour before bedtime, with 1 to 3 grams of pearl powder, it will have a very good effect of calming sleep. Third, a treasure of appetite, Poria cocos summer must see summer dampness, the spleen and stomach is most afraid of wet. In the past, people described, heat and this wet mixed together, as if oil into the surface, it is very difficult to remove. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen likes dryness and is not like wet, it does not like wet, a wet trapped spleen, the spleen is trapped, the spleen is depressed in that place, so it does not want to eat. There are also a lot of things that help wet in the summer: cold drinks, cold food, when cool, but in reality, it is damaging the spleen and stomach, eat in the cold, it is difficult to remove. Watermelon cools the summer, but it helps dampness, eat more affect the spleen and stomach. Cucumber can help water, but eating too much of it can also help dampness. In summer, the spleen and stomach is not good, recommend a baby, is Poria. The effect: to produce clear gas to benefit turbidity, spleen and water, dampness, suitable for the elderly and children with a weak spleen and stomach. 1, children eat poria Huai Shan and poria are tasteless, fried malt not only strengthen the spleen and appetite and outstanding aroma, perfect for children to eat. 2, the elderly eat poria The elderly should pay more attention to the function of strengthening the spleen and stomach, because the elderly rely on the spleen and stomach, recommended with such a recipe: four gods porridge. These four things, individually, are very ordinary, but together, for the elderly, it is more god. This recipe has poria, yam, not the malt that children eat, but it adds lotus seeds and barley. So it has a stronger effect of tonifying the spleen and stomach and promoting water. Because the spleen and stomach of the elderly is very weak, then it is the dose of 10 grams, these things together to cook thin rice, rice is to help wet, but we add a little barley, it solves the problem. These four things, all the supermarkets can buy, you summer boil some of this porridge to eat, eat a bowl in the morning appetite, spleen, damp! Four, tonic a treasure, American ginseng It is said that winter tonic, because winter is the season of collection, summer tonic, a sweat, all gone. But if there is deficiency, what season should be supplemented. Summer heat and humidity hurt the qi, qi deficiency is the most common symptom of summer, less energy, sweating, fatigue, sleeplessness, are typical of qi deficiency. The most typical is poor appetite, spleen qi deficiency . What is the best way to replenish qi in summer, without fire? It has to be American ginseng. Western ginseng is calmer than ginseng and is suitable for both qi and yin deficiency. In summer, it is dry and a lot of yin liquid is lost. American ginseng can be drunk in water or chewed directly, but the most nutritious way to eat it is stewed. In summer, you can add lentils and lotus leaves to stewed American ginseng. Lentils strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness, while lotus leaves benefit dampness and weight loss, and can raise clear qi. In summer, drowsiness and depression are the result of trapped clear qi. Lentil and lotus leaf ginseng drink: Ingredients: 30g white lentils, 1/4 fresh lotus leaf, 6g American ginseng Efficacy: tonifies the qi and strengthens the spleen, nourishes yin and removes dampness. It is used for the elderly who are weak in qi and have spleen deficiency and dampness. Summer should be “hot” to live The common people often say that summer is not hot, winter is not cold, sooner or later to make disease – what does this mean? In winter, as the qi and blood are closed, the nutrients are stored to prepare for next year’s growth. If you don’t store yin essence well in winter, you will be prone to heat diseases in spring. The cold pores are closed in winter, which helps the qi and blood to collect inside, and the hot pores are open in summer, which helps the qi and blood to go outside, when the air conditioning is often on and the metabolism is not smooth, can not get sick? Many of the hundreds of years old in rural areas are living in bungalows, because the bungalows are warm in winter and cool in summer, these old people get the ground, can live a long life. In the bungalow in the summer, I do not advocate the use of air conditioning, it is best to use the fan, small and large by the. Now we all live in buildings, have to use air conditioning, air conditioning is out of the head of the wind through the bones, young people with strong Yang Qi may not feel, male comrades after 32 years old, female comrades after 28 years old, and then stay in the air conditioning room, you feel the cool air through the bones. “The evil wind, avoid the time”, the hot wind in winter and the cold wind in summer are not in line with the season, that is, the wind is a thief, especially bad for health. Each of us, like a deciduous tree, begins to sprout in the spring, and the qi and blood begin to go outward. In the summer, all the qi and blood go outside, so the branches flourish, but there is no more nutrition in the roots. As soon as the autumn wind comes, the leaves fall and the qi and blood go from the outside to the inside. By winter, there are no more leaves outside and all the nutrients go to the roots. The same is true for people. In spring, qi and blood go from the inside to the outside, but in summer, qi and blood go outside and inside is relatively insufficient. Why is it easy to have stomach trouble in summer? It’s not just a matter of bacteria and viruses, but more importantly, your state has changed and your Yang and Wei Qi are outside, so you get upset when you eat something cold. In summer, people’s qi and blood go from inside to outside, the outside qi and blood become more and more vigorous, while the inside yang qi is relatively insufficient. So this is the time to use some American ginseng to assist your Yang Qi. In summer, when it is particularly hot, you will feel panic and shortness of breath when you sweat a lot, because while sweat goes out, your Yang Qi spreads. The TCM doctor told you to eat some raw pulse drink at this time: ginseng, maitong, and wu wei zi. The reason why you won’t get fire is because of the lack of qi and blood inside. This is a formula created by Sun Simiao, a great Chinese medicine practitioner in the Tang Dynasty, which is a very beneficial formula for treating summer heat. Ginseng replenishes the middle qi, Wu Wei Zi collects the heart qi, Mai Dong plays the role of clearing the lung qi and astringent heart qi. Drink more raw pulse drink in summer and you will not feel very tired.
