Traditional Chinese medicine teaches you how to survive the summer smoothly
In southern China, the symbol of Xiaoxia is: out of the plum, into the ambush. The period from Xiaoxia to the beginning of autumn is called "Fuxia", that is, "dog days".
Yuan Lini, the attending physician of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of the Laoximen Street Community Health Service Center, recently introduced that Xiaoxiao is the most vigorous time for the human body's yang energy, and this is the beginning of entering Futian, "Fu" means hiding in the sky, so people should go out less to escape the heat. In this season, typhoons or tropical storms are frequent, and the weather changes drastically, so you need to pay attention to health in your daily life to survive a beautiful summer.

The heat disturbs the mind and requires meditation
/ SLIGHT HEAT
In the summer season, the temperature gradually rises and the weather becomes hot, which is the time when the evil of summer heat is most likely to hurt people. Summer evil mainly occurs after the summer solstice and before the beginning of autumn, and there is a clear seasonality. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the heat evil is the yang evil, the heat rises and disperses, and after injuring the human body, it can offend the ringleader, disturb the mind internally, and in severe cases, lead to high fever, upset, red face and irritability.
The evil of summer heat can easily affect people's mood, and they will be irritable and irritable. In the scorching summer, everything should not be impatient, and we should learn to self-adjust "tranquility and nothingness", otherwise the heart is reckless, coupled with the hot and evil spirit, it is easy to appear evidence of heatstroke. For patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, etc., attention should be paid to having a cool environment and a pleasant mood to reduce the occurrence of accidents.

The diet is light, hot and cold
/ SLIGHT HEAT
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "summer is more damp", that is, summer evil and dampness are caused by the disease. The spleen is located in the middle of the coke, transporting water valleys, liking dryness and disliking dampness, which is closely related to our digestive function, and the evil of summer dampness often invades and affects the spleen and stomach transport function, resulting in poor appetite, abdominal fullness, or intestinal diarrhea and other symptoms, so this period of time is the season of high incidence of gastroenteritis.
In summer, it is best to eat a light diet. What to eat on a "light diet"? First of all, avoid frying and frying foods, and focus on steamed and boiled foods, such as steamed fish, winter melon pork rib soup, white-cut chicken, etc.; Secondly, vegetables-based, you can eat some medicinal and edible dual-purpose products, such as lotus seeds, papaya, white fungus, coix seeds, etc., and use more radishes, tomatoes, winter melons and other foods to clear the heat and dispel dampness; In addition, avoid eating raw and cold overnight dishes, which can induce acute gastroenteritis. Don't be greedy for cold drinks, don't eat overheated food, and try to use less spicy and greasy products.

The environment is clean and moderate exercise
/ SLIGHT HEAT
In the summer season, the summer humidity is heavier, furniture, clothes, books, etc. are prone to mildew, and it is also a time when bacteria and mosquitoes breed in large quantities, so it is necessary to pay attention to timely cleaning and cleaning up dead corners. In addition, due to the hot weather, do not stay in a wet and cold place for too long, especially the elderly, which is easy to induce or aggravate arthritis and gastrointestinal diseases.
Try to choose some soothing exercises, such as Baduanjin, brisk walking, jogging, cycling, tai chi, etc., to avoid excessive sweating and depletion of injuries. Outdoor exercise should be carried out in the morning and evening when the temperature is relatively low, and if the temperature is too high, you can choose a well-ventilated indoor place to avoid heat stroke and dehydration.
"It's time to cure winter diseases and summer diseases"
