A brief discussion on how to nourish the heart in summer Spring, summer, autumn and winter correspond to the four important organs of the human body: liver, heart, lungs and kidneys, and health care should also conform to this rule. “Spring and summer nourish Yang, autumn and winter nourish Yin”. Spring and summer seasons should be adapted to the rising and filling of Yang Qi. Chinese medicine believes that summer qi is connected to heart qi and is dominated by the heart. Summer is fire, and fire belongs to the heart. The hot summer climate makes it easy to sweat. The heart is the master of blood. “When you sweat a lot, you will feel tightness in your chest and shortness of breath. This is because in summer, there is a correlation between summer qi and heart qi; therefore, summer health care focuses on nourishing the heart. The “Nei Jing” says, “In the summer of March, this is a show. The sky and the earth, all the things Hua real, sleep at night and get up early, not tired of the day, so that the will is not angry, so that Huaying into the show, so that the gas can be released, if the love of the outside, this summer gas should be, the way to raise long. Against it is sad, autumn for ^ malaria, bong harvesters less, the winter solstice heavy disease”. This is very instructive for our entire summer health. The first thing to understand is that everything in heaven and earth has a “spring, summer growth, autumn harvest, winter storage” movement and change of the law. If people want to live a long and healthy life, they should naturally follow this law by “conforming to the sky and the seasons”. “Spring growth” and “summer growth” are both different and closely related. In spring, people’s life cells start to be active due to the mild weather; three months later, the natural Yang energy has gradually reached the full extent. On the one hand, the Yang of the sky is forced down, and on the other hand, the heat of the earth is up, so that the Qi of heaven and earth are intertwined, greatly promoting the “flourishing” and “flourishing” of all things. In the summer and March, the body’s metabolism also seems to be very vigorous. This is a good thing, but if you ignore the essentials of summer health, it can become a bad thing! In summer, people’s Yang Qi is sufficient, but easy to leak; summer days and nights are long and short, easy to sleep; people sweat a lot in summer, easy to dehydration; summer is too hot, easy to affect people’s appetite; people are also easy to catch diseases in summer due to greed for cold. I believe that the main health care in summer is to nourish the heart. The heart is the master of the body, according to the theory of Chinese medicine, “heart” that governs the operation of blood vessels, but also presides over spiritual activities. “The heart is the master of the blood vessels, the heart is the master of the spirit, the heart is the official of the sovereign, and the heart is the master of summer. Summer health must first nourish the heart, the heart is strong and healthy is the basis of the overall internal organs can be healthy and normal. The first thing to do is to pay attention to the regulation of the seven emotions. The so-called seven emotions are: happiness, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear and fright. If the seven emotions are too strong, it will cause dysfunction of the organs and blood and disease. Therefore, everything should be open, do not worry about gain and loss, to have a “step back and broaden the sky” good mentality, nourish the righteousness of the spirit, maintain a good state of mind, mental balance. Have a good mood every day. Secondly, virtue nourishes the heart, the benevolent nourishes the heart, the easy nature nourishes the heart, the wise nourishes the heart. Pay attention to your moral cultivation. Do more good deeds. “Tranquility and emptiness, the spirit within the guard, the disease is safe. Second, the habits of life to nourish the heart 1, get up and live regularly. In summer, the human heart fire is strong, the lungs are weak, and the sun rises early, so you should sleep late and get up early. At the same time, due to the high temperature at noon, should not go out, in order to supplement the lack of sleep at night, noon should be appropriate nap. Because of the summer heat outside the steam, pores open, sweat, “sweat and blood with the source” at this time the body is most vulnerable to wind and cold, so do not sleep in the open air, lanai or under the tree, to prevent the wind and cold and wet evil attack and illness. Do not sweat too much to prevent injury to your yin. “Sweat is the liquid of the heart, so drink more plain water in summer to nourish the heart. 2, diet is moderate. The body sweats a lot more in summer, losing a lot of water and also losing various vitamins, trace elements and proteins. Therefore, it is important to maintain a balanced nutrition in the summer. Daily diet, not only should eat more green leafy fruits and vegetables, should also eat more dairy products, poultry eggs, animal offal and other foods rich in protein, vitamin A, B6 and a variety of trace elements. And you can drink some drinks to prevent the summer heat. Like green bean soup, sour plum soup, watermelon soup, etc.. It is better to eat summer porridge every day in summer. Like silver fungus and lily porridge, celery and silver flower porridge, winter melon porridge, etc. 3, reasonable exercise, the combination of movement and static. The purpose of the summer exercise is to strengthen the spleen and nourish the heart, benefit Qi and produce fluid, the exercise is mainly static, to move as a supplement, so that the body to adapt to summer climate change, enhance physical fitness, improve the ability to resist the heat. Summer heat forces people to sweat more, easy to break the heart and blood; summer heat and summer humidity damage the spleen and stomach, so that the spleen and stomach function is weakened, will lead to poor appetite, tiredness and weakness. Therefore, the summer exercise should be taken without straining the form and spirit, not to hurt the fluid way to exercise. Gentle, aerobic exercise is preferable. You can do hand therapy, foot therapy, simple gymnastics. Listen to music and so on to nourish the mind and spirit. To ensure a safe and happy summer.
