The summer heat is the fourteenth solar term of the twenty-four solar terms. Dealing with the heat means "coming out of the summer", which means leaving in the heat. The arrival of the heat marks the end of the hot weather, the heat gradually subsides, and the transition from hot to cool. Due to the influence of short-term hot weather (commonly known as "autumn tiger"), there is still a period of continuous high temperature after the summer, and the real coolness is generally not until after the Bailu solar term.
So how should we adjust our lives to natural changes during the summer season? What kind of wellness is more suitable for the characteristics of the current season? Come and take a look at Yang Changli, director of the rehabilitation department and deputy chief physician of Liangjiang New District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, for you!
"Autumn tigers" with the weather getting cooler
Dealing with the heat means that the height of summer has passed and the weather is starting to cool. But in many places there will still be residual heat for a while. People often call the heat after the summer "autumn tiger".
However, after all, the "autumn tiger" is different from the three-volt day, and the temperature in the morning and evening is not as high as in midsummer, showing a trend of gradually increasing the temperature difference between day and night. Especially after rain, it makes people feel cool and pleasant. But just transitioning from midsummer to autumn coolness, remember not to be greedy for cold, so as not to hurt the sun.
Avoid cold food and warm the spleen and stomach
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that attention should be paid to the spleen and stomach during the summer season. The spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow, the source of qi and blood biochemistry, "internal injuries to the spleen and stomach, a hundred diseases are born." ”
Spleen and stomach health is very important, on the one hand, pay attention to hunger and fullness, do not overeat; On the other hand, at the turn of summer and autumn, you must avoid excessive consumption of cold melons and fruits. Excessive consumption is the most likely to damage the spleen and yang, causing the spleen yang to sink into diarrhea, and also lead to wet and diffuse, moss white thick or thick.
Converge the heat and calm the mood
When entering the summer season, we must collect the impetuous spirit of the mind, make it comfortable and smooth, calm and restrained, tolerant and peaceful. At this time, you should avoid anger and calm your mind.
The summer heat has not disappeared, and spring covers the autumn freeze
The summer is in early autumn, when the heat has not disappeared, so you can follow the health principle of "spring and autumn freeze" when adding clothes. It is not advisable to add too much at once, it is advisable to feel too cold yourself, but consciously let the body freeze. Autumn frost has two major benefits, one is that it can help converge the yang qi and make the heat converge more; The second is to improve the healthy qi of the human body, thereby increasing the ability to resist cold.
At the same time, it is not advisable to use air conditioners and fans excessively for cold, so as to avoid cold attacks and induce the onset of chronic diseases such as arthritis, frozen shoulder, and gout.
In addition, respiratory diseases such as pneumonia and asthma are also prone to attack at the turn of summer and autumn, especially for the elderly with weak healthy qi.
Nourish yin and clear heat, moisturize and quench thirst
Autumn should be in the lungs, the weather becomes cooler, and the lungs are ordered. When the weather really cools, you can properly eat some foods such as yin and heat, moisturizing and quenching thirst, such as sesame, honey, silver fungus, lily, lotus root, water chestnut, sugar cane, pear, etc., are suitable for nourishing the lungs.
In addition, the taste of the lungs is "acid", because acid has the function of convergence. If you still feel irritable in the summer season, or your heart is rising, or you are prone to insomnia, tantrums, and irritability, you can use sour taste appropriately to help converge the floating fire. For example, you can eat some sour fruits, vinegar, lemons, passion fruits, etc., to converge the yang qi with acid, and do not make it float.
