Medium volts
This year's mid-volt time is
July 26 - August 14, 2022
20 days in total
As the saying goes, "Cold in three nine, hot in the middle". The middle volt is not only a high temperature, but also a rainy and humid weather, which will lead to moisture eroding the human body, wetting in the inside, making the water wet and solidifying the spleen, causing water accumulation, physical discomfort and so on.
"Medium volt" is the time of year when the temperature is the highest, the yang is the strongest, and the humidity is the heaviest. The special climate gives special harm to the human body, so the middle volt is often the most susceptible day of the year to get sick, which can be described as a "hidden killing machine".
Live well in the middle of the volt, a year of good health and no pain!
Collect first, then send it in groups, the merit is immeasurable!
Kill Machine One: A cold breath and a poison
Summer is cold and cold is inevitable.
Chinese medicine believes that cold qi has the characteristics of coldness, condensation and blockage, and is the source of all diseases.
People with heavy cold breath in the body generally have some manifestations:
- Afraid of cold, limbs, joints and other parts are often cold or even swollen;
- Cold pain and swelling of the abdomen, waist and neck;
- Easy diarrhea after getting cold or using too cold food;
- Fall in love with fire, mouth and tongue sores, red eyes, sore throat; Fatigue, lack of energy, dizziness, etc.
Cold hurts people in a wide range, and these common problems in life are related to cold:
- Cold qi can cause qi and blood to stagnate, leading to the occurrence of various painful symptoms;
- Cold can also cause human water flow dysfunction, making people cough and phlegm, diarrhea, edema, rheumatism;
- The combination of cold and wet evil forms cold and dampness, which can easily lead to joint diseases;
- The combination of cold and damp heat makes people rise in false fire.
Moreover, Chinese medicine believes that yin and yang are interdependent, one cold is one hot, and cold is easy to bind the surface of the body to produce depression.
If you are on fire frequently and feel cold in your body, it may be a false fire.
At this time, do not rush to eat food or medicine that lowers the fire, and adjust the body to achieve the balance of yin and yang, otherwise the body may become more and more weak and the fire will become larger and larger.
The only way to avoid cold and evil hurting people is to stop cooling, don't be greedy!
Killing machine two: eating and drinking indiscriminately, gout attacks
After a hot day, after a day's work, everyone will choose a small gathering, and barbecue, seafood and beer are naturally the best combinations.
However, this is a minefield in the diet of the majority of gout patients.
Because the ingredients produced during beer fermentation will inhibit the excretion of uric acid in the body, seafood is a high-purine food, and purines are the raw materials for the formation of uric acid.
Occasionally eating seafood and drinking beer will not necessarily cause gout, but in the long run, it will lead to an increase in uric acid in the body, and gout is prone to occur.
Kill machine three: improper protection, suffer from heart attack
Three volts of heat, the body's metabolism is accelerated, and the demand for oxygen and nutrients increases; On the other hand, due to low air pressure, a large amount of sweating in the human body, and a lot of water loss in the body, the blood viscosity rises and blood circulation is blocked, so it is easy to induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
According to statistics, the hottest July to August of each year is the peak period of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease attacks, and myocardial infarction, stroke and other acute diseases are more common.
Therefore, the three high people should maintain a good work and rest at this time, eat less spicy and cold irritating foods, appropriate physical exercise, not long outdoor activities, and hypertensive patients should usually monitor blood pressure.
Kill machine four: fear of waste, get enteritis
Summer temperatures are high, which is very suitable for bacteria to multiply, and food is more likely to spoil and deteriorate. If you are not careful, you will get sick from the mouth.
The most common is that some of the "overnight dishes" put in the refrigerator obviously smell bad and eat normally, but there are already bacteria breeding in them.
After adults and children eat, there are not a few cases of acute enteritis in the whole family.
Therefore, it is best to eat less overnight watermelon, overnight dishes, cold dishes, raw seafood and other foods, and it is best to eat freshly and do not hoard goods.
Especially for the elderly, summer diarrhea is not a small disease, if there is cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease itself, diarrhea when the human body is in a dehydrated state, blood concentration, blood viscosity increases, it is easy to promote thrombosis, angina, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction and so on.
Kill machine five: drink less water, long stones
Hot summer weather is the high incidence of urinary stones, the human body sweats a lot, urine is easy to concentrate, if the amount of water is not enough, the crystalline substance in the urine is easy to precipitate, forming stones.
At the same time, the summer light is strong, the synthesis of vitamin D and vitamin A in the body increases, promotes the absorption of calcium ions in the small intestine, increases the excretion of calcium in the urine, and also makes it easier for stones to form.
Anti-stone must drink more water, a lot of drinking water can even help the discharge of small stones.
It should be noted that drinks cannot replace boiled water, because carbonated drinks contain a large amount of phosphates, which are the main components of stones, but will induce stones.
Kill Six: Improper cooling, heat stroke
In such a hot and sweltering weather as the three volt day, heat stroke has become a high incidence of disease.
Many people think that heat stroke is too common, how can it be life-threatening?
However, severe heat stroke can really kill people!
Because, once the disease reaches the point of heat stroke, the risk of death and disability is extremely high, and the mortality rate exceeds 50%, which is very dangerous.
Because the early stage of heat stroke is only manifested as a slightly high body temperature, although the consciousness is impaired, but can be awake for a short time, it is easy to be considered fine and despised, in fact, the damage has just begun.
If not treated properly, death can occur within 12 to 24 hours of the onset of symptoms of heat stroke.
Therefore, in the middle of summer, everyone should try not to stay outdoors for a long time, pay attention to indoor temperature regulation and ventilation, and prevent heat stroke.
Usually, once someone has symptoms of heat stroke, they need to get out of the hot environment immediately, choose a cool and ventilated place to rest, replenish water or electrolyte drinks.
If the discomfort is obvious, you need to get medical attention immediately.
Killer Seven: Mixed Suburbs, Tick Disease
Ticks are frequently active in the summer, and when they travel to places with dense vegetation, they must do a good job of personal protection and strictly prevent tick bites.
"Tick disease" is called fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome, which is mainly manifested as general malaise, fatigue, headache, muscle ache, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea and other symptoms, which can lead to organ failure and then death.
Usually, if a tick bites the skin, it can be applied with alcohol to the tick to relax or die, and then use the pointed forceps to remove the tick, or gently burn the exposed part of the tick with a cigarette butt and incense head, so that the head slowly withdraws on its own.
After the tick is removed, it is disinfected locally with iodine or alcohol, and the physical condition is observed at any time.
Usually, when entering and leaving the grass, woods and other environments, it is necessary to avoid sitting and lying down for a long time, and it is best to wear long-sleeved clothes to prevent skin exposure.
Kill Machine Eight: Trick the cat and the dog, get bitten
High temperatures tend to make pets emotionally unstable, restless, and more likely to hurt people than usual, so summer is a high incidence of rabies.
I would like to remind everyone that in the summer, try to avoid teasing unfamiliar cats, dogs and other animals.
If you are unfortunate enough to be bitten by a dog, cat, etc., you must go to a special dog injury clinic in time to ask a doctor for standardized treatment
