20 days in total!

As the saying goes, "cold in three nine, hot in three volts", now is the hottest time of the year!

"Winter disease and summer treatment, double the result with half the effort". Many winter diseases accumulate in the summer.

In the middle volt, summer evil and wet evil alternate, the human body is most likely to fall the root of the disease, at this time must pay more attention.

Three taboos

1. Avoid morning exercise

Sanfutian is the most taboo morning exercise.

In summer, the respiration of plants is very strong, and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air in the morning is high, and morning exercise is not suitable.

In addition, the blood pressure of the elderly is higher in summer, especially in the morning. Exercising in the morning is prone to danger.

Sanfutian fitness must pay attention to the method.

In the evening, you can do some less strenuous exercises, such as walking, tai chi, and sweat a little.

2. Avoid being greedy for cold

Although mid-volt is the hottest time of the year, the yin qi is already visible.

Eat as little as possible of cold drinks, melons and fruits.

Eating too much cold food can easily damage the spleen and stomach, accumulate moisture, and cause a lot of discomfort in winter.

The air conditioner should not be blown directly, and the temperature should not be lower than 28 degrees.

Do not be greedy for cold during sleep and bathing. Do not bathe in cold water, and the sleeping place should not be too cold.

If you take a bath with cool water, the hot sweat of the human body cannot be emitted, and it is easy to get sick if it is held in the body.

Take a bath with hot water, and after washing, the body will finish perspiration, and you will find that the body will be much more relaxed.

3. Avoid great joy and sorrow

Summer rain alternates with bright sun, and the muggy weather makes people feel irritated.

At this time, the pressure on the cardiovascular system is greater.

Older people, once emotional, can easily damage the heart.

Therefore, in summer, we must pay attention to purifying and nourishing the mind and controlling emotions.

As the saying goes: the mind is calm and naturally cool.

Try music, painting, contemplative meditation to keep your mind calm.

Silence is manic, and the mind is often accompanied by tranquility, so that health can be guaranteed.

Three suitable

1. It is advisable to endure hardships

Summer main fire, fire into the heart.

"Suffering more" can clear the heat and nourish the heart.

Bitter foods like bitter melon can stimulate taste buds and promote appetite.

Kuding tea and lotus seed heart can clear the heart and relieve sores and pain.

Moreover, for those who are weak-minded, it can also replenish their hearts.

However, bitter melon is cold, for people with a weak spleen and stomach, it is not suitable for consumption, eating too much will cause diarrhea.

People with a cold spleen and stomach and sitting in the office for a long time should not suffer too much.

2. It is advisable to go to bed late and get up early

Chinese medicine says: "Follow the four seasons to adapt to cold and summer", and people's work and rest should follow the rotation of the four seasons.

In summer, the sun is strong and the sun is weak, the days are long, and it is necessary to go to bed late and get up early.

Eleven o'clock in the evening and six in the morning are healthier schedules.

You can take a proper nap at noon, try to control it for about 30 minutes, so as not to affect the rest at night.

3. Potassium supplementation should be provided

In summer, people sweat a lot, and the body's inorganic salts are excreted in large quantities.

At this time, people often use light salt water to supplement salt, and neglect potassium supplementation.

Sodium and potassium imbalance can easily lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

So be sure to supplement potassium in summer.

Drinking tea, eating spinach, eating tomatoes, and eating sweet potatoes are all good ways to supplement potassium.

Three secrets

1. Eat more lean meat

Although Sanfutian is vigorous, it is a process of "internal consumption" for people.

Many people "bitter summer" and only eat fruits and vegetables.

In the long run, there is not enough nutrition, and it is easy to get sick.

In addition to fruits and vegetables, be sure to eat a full meal.

Eating grains and sweating will lose vitamin B, so steamed bun rice must not be lacking.

Eat lean meat, summer offal consumption is very large, be sure to eat more high-quality protein, eat less fat.

2. Shake the fan to cool down

When there were air conditioning fans in every home, the fans were almost forgotten.

But the advantage of the fan is that it will not be blown cold.

When the weather is hot, shaking a fan can both cool down and prevent frozen shoulder.

Summer stroke in the elderly generally occurs in the right brain, so the left hand crank fan can effectively prevent the occurrence of disease.

Hand-cranked fans may seem outdated, but they are beneficial and harmless to the body.

3. Soak your feet in hot water

The ancients said, "A thousand colds are easy to remove, but a wet is difficult to go." Wet and sticky, like oil into the surface", many diseases are related to moisture in the body. In summer, people look forward to eating a lot of cold drinks and cold food in an air-conditioned room, which will lead to excessive moisture in the human body.

In summer, pay attention to dampness removal and eat more moisture-removing foods, such as red bean barley soup.

Taking a hot bath, soaking your feet, and eating ginger are all good ways to get rid of dampness and cold.
