Rainy weather, summer breeze and. There are many cicadas in the high willows. Koentai Yuanchibo. The fish play the new lotus. Tulle kitchen, light feather fan. Pillow cold cool deep courtyard. The mood is at this time. Nothing little fairy. - Zhou Bangyan, "Crane Rushing to the Sky"
Sanfu Day, between the summer heat and the beginning of autumn, is the hottest day of the year, humid and muggy. Chinese there is the method of counting the day with volts, and the meaning of volt is latent, and the "volt" in "three volt days" means "fu evil".
This is the hottest day of the year and is humid and muggy. The so-called "heat in three volts". Sanfutian is the hottest and humid and stuffy time of the year, so the folk proverb goes: small summer and big summer, steamed and boiled.
The three solar terms span the three solar terms of small summer, big summer and autumn. The first volt begins in the summer solar term. The initial volt is from July 11 to July 20, 2023, a total of 10 days; The medium volt is from July 21 to August 9, 2023, a total of 20 days; The last volt is from August 10 to August 19, 2023, a total of 10 days.
"After a small summer, three points of heat a day."
During the small summer solar term, just in time for the "ambush", the "three-volt day" is coming, the "hot value" in many places is bursting, the temperature is gradually rising, and the consumption of the human body is also increasing. In the summer, many people feel unwell and mentally weak.
As soon as the summer heat passes, everyone can feel an adjective that we have used to describe summer since we were young, called "heat wave rolling".
The ancients said: "Birds sing bamboo is dense, rain sounds lotus leaves fragrant." "Why don't you beat the heat and sit in a courtyard." There is no long object in front of you, and there is a fresh breeze under the window. The heat dissipation is calm, and the coolness is born into the empty room. At this time, it is difficult to protect yourself. ”
At this time, it is most suitable to sit at home, or alone, or invite a few friends, drink tea and chat, "Peony Pavilion" sings: there is wind and elegance, IKEA.
The summer is strong, and it is time to drink tea. Summer is the season when people's mood fluctuates. In the heat, emotions inevitably become moody, or angry, lonely, or anxious. At this time, it is more necessary to adjust the mood, maintain a peaceful mind, avoid anxiety and irritability, and prevent severe mood fluctuations from causing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension and cerebrovascular accidents.
Brewing tea can be casual, and drinking tea has become unrestrained. Accompanied by a few songs of pleasant silk bamboo, you will enjoy a variety of exquisite and delicious refreshments to feel the slight coolness in this summer.
On three days, drinking tea can replenish more hydration. During the Futian period, everyone sweats a lot, which can easily lead to the loss of salt and water in the body, so be sure to hydrate more. Tea contains a lot of inorganic salts, which can supplement the potassium and sodium that people lose, so drinking tea in summer quenches thirst more than drinking water! Southern kung fu tea, although small cups and small bubbles, but inadvertently let people drink a lot, is actually a good way to drink tea and replenish water!
At this time, drinking tea should drink some warm tea, such as old white tea, black tea, black tea, Pu'er tea.
These teas are warm and can help the body drive away cold and nourish the stomach. In addition, another key to the three-volt day health care is to "dispel dampness", because at this time not only hot but also humid, the cold and heat of the human body are often accompanied by moisture, the so-called wet cold, humid heat.
In addition, Futian can also try ginger tea. I believe that many people have heard the saying "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer". Ginger is warm and has the effect of warming up, and eating ginger often in summer can replenish yang qi.
Moreover, ginger can also disperse cold and sweat, dissolve phlegm and relieve cough, and stomach, and stop vomiting. Drinking ginger tea on three days is also a simple and easy way to maintain health.
Therefore, in summer, both living and eating habits should be paid great attention. If there is a small negligence, it is easy to cause diseases to the body. However, drinking tea can avoid these problems very well! Drink the right cup of tea and live a good day.

Black tea is hot and has the effect of warming the stomach and protecting the stomach. Therefore, summer is also very suitable for drinking black tea.
4. Drink Pu'er tea and black tea
Light summer means that the weather starts to get hot, but it is not yet the hottest. Xiaoxiao is when the yang of the human body is the most vigorous, and it is necessary to combine work and rest to protect the yang, and the large bowl of brewing chrysanthemum pu'er has a good effect on this. Chrysanthemum is spicy, sweet, bitter, slightly cold, and with Pu'er, it can disperse wind and clear heat, and calm the liver and eyes. Drinkers should pay attention to the fact that because chrysanthemums are cool, those with deficiency and stomach are cold with caution.
After a small summer heat, enter the three volts, the yang qi reaches the extreme, you should eat more bitter food, should clear the supplement. Pu'er tea and black tea are luscious and thick, and the vitality is continuous. At the same time, caffeine, vitamins, amino acids, etc. in Pu'er tea and black tea help digestion, regulate fat metabolism, improve gastric juice secretion, and also help increase appetite.
