Once summer is over, it means the beginning of summer. The temperature will gradually rise and the heat will arrive, which will easily cause the human body to consume a lot, increase dampness and heat in the body, and affect the metabolism of Yin deficiency and fire. So how to spend summer scientifically? The “microblogging doctor” He Fule, deputy director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the first hospital in the city, in the professional medical consulting platform “everyone health microblogging” “summer gas through the heart, the five elements of fire, summer health, nourishing the heart as the first, the heart is the ruler, should be quiet like cool, avoid floating evil heat. The heart is the ruler, should be quiet, like cool, avoid floating evil heat. First for the gods to nourish, submerge the will do not anger, Ningxin oligarchy, a small into the theft of joy. The second is food nourishment, bitter taste is always ingested, the core type more to serve, vegetarian more meat less. Once again, the art of nourishment, slowly move a slight sweat, move before and after, drink water regulating the will. If there is a bias, give medicine to nourish, according to the evidence of the prescription, and harmonize yin and Yang. Ten fingers connected to the heart, perform nourishing heart exercises, meditate on nourishing practice, you can be all right.” What Dr. He said is the method of health care in summer, which can be described from the four aspects of nourishing the mind, food, medicine and practice – first, the nourishing the mind, which is also the most important. Due to the hot and muggy weather in summer, people’s heart fire is more vigorous, easily irritable and restless, so it is necessary to “meditate and nourish the heart”. The “heart” mentioned here is not the heart, but the spirit, the mood, that is, to maintain a happy and stable emotions, do not be very sad and happy, do not get angry, so as not to help the heat with heat, fire on oil. In summer, it is advisable to sleep late and get up early, sleep from 10:00-11:00 p.m. to 6:00-7:00 a.m. the next day. Late to bed and early to rise will be relatively sleep deprived, so you need a proper lunch break as compensation, generally about half an hour to ensure an afternoon of energy. Next, is the food and medicine. Chinese medicine believes that “medicine and food have the same origin”, and there is no absolute dividing line between the two. The summer diet is based on the principle of clearing and tonifying, strengthening the spleen, dispelling summer heat and dampness, and eating cool and bitter foods that clear heat and detoxify the body, such as watermelon, bitter melon, winter melon and pear, etc. Avoid fried, spicy and hot foods. Eat more low-fat, low-salt, multivitamin and light food is also the way to summer diet, a variety of nutritional health porridge is a good choice, mung bean and lily porridge to quench thirst, produce fluid and diuretic; white fungus porridge nourishes Yin, moisten the lungs and stomach; in addition, there are lotus seed porridge, red bean porridge, carrot porridge and wolfberry porridge, etc.. Summer is also a good time to cure “winter diseases”. In summer, when the outside world and the popular yang energy are in full swing, the use of internal herbal medicine together with acupuncture, herbal compresses and other external treatment methods to prevent and treat the disease can force out the cold that hides in the joints and the back of the bladder meridian, so as to reduce the symptoms and condition during the winter season and thus promote recovery. Once again, it’s a walking regimen, or exercise. Dr. He recommends that we do aerobic exercise no less than five times a week, 30 minutes each time is appropriate, the best exercise time in the morning at 6:00 am – 7:00 am. The intensity of exercise should not be too large, to their own heart rate after exercise as a standard, that is, age plus the heart rate after exercise is not greater than 170. do not drink cold drinks immediately after exercise to cool down, otherwise easy to hurt the stomach and intestines.
