Ways to live a healthy life with awns

Unknowingly, the awns in the twenty-four solar terms are coming quietly. This means that summer has really begun, with rising temperatures and abundant rainfall. So how should we do a good job in maintaining good health during the mist season? Come with me to learn the health care regimen of the Mango solar term!

Health care for the Ear Grain solar term

1. Pay attention to going to bed late and getting up early to avoid direct sunlight

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the arrival of the Ear Grain solar term , indicating that the hot climate in summer has begun to take shape. However, you also need to pay attention to going to bed late and getting up early, and receive a little sunshine, which can not only adapt to the abundance of Yang Qi, but also help the circulation of Qi and blood and boost the spirit. But be sure to pay attention to avoid direct sunlight and prevent heatstroke.

2. Drink more water and take a lunch break

There is a proverb in some places in China: "Eawns grow on the summer solstice, and they need to be led when walking; those who lead need to be pulled, and those who pull need to be pushed." . This vividly reflects the laziness of people during this season. Doctors remind you that you must first keep your spirit in a relaxed and happy state. In summer, when the days are long and the nights are short, taking a lunch break can help recover from fatigue and is good for your health. During the season of Ear Grain, the weather starts to get hot, which is a season that consumes more physical energy. Pay attention to replenishing water and drink more water.

3. Change clothes frequently and bathe frequently

After the Ear Grain, it is hot at noon and people tend to sweat, so clothes should be washed and changed frequently. In order to avoid heat stroke, you should take a bath frequently after planting. The "yang heat" is easy to vent. However, one thing to note is that you should not take a shower immediately when you sweat. There is an old Chinese saying that "dryness cannot be seen when sweating". If "dampness is seen when sweating", acne will occur. Medicinal baths can best achieve the purpose of fitness and disease prevention.

4. Take preventive measures

When the human body sweats a lot, do not drink too much boiled water or sugar water immediately. You can drink some fruit juice or sugar salt water to prevent excessive reduction of blood potassium. , Appropriate supplementation of potassium will help improve the balance of potassium and sodium in the body.

5. Emotional health

During the time of Ear Grain, wind and fire are intertwined, and people tend to feel irritable and restless. At this time, you should adjust your mood, pay attention to keeping your mood comfortable, and be broad-minded to prevent emotions. Severe fluctuations can lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension and cerebrovascular accidents. You should keep yourself in a relaxed and happy mood and avoid being angry and melancholy, so that the Qi can be ventilated and vented freely.

6. You are prone to fever and colds. Do not sleep on the floor or sleep outdoors.

It is easy to catch a cold in summer, which is called "heat cold" in Chinese medicine. The common symptoms are runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing, and sometimes fever, headache and other symptoms. Some patients may even experience vomiting and diarrhea. You can drink mung bean soup, honeysuckle dew, and chrysanthemum tea in your diet to clear away heat and relieve heat. At the same time, you should avoid eating greasy, sour, and spicy foods.

7. Massage Fenglong point to strengthen the spleen and stomach and eliminate phlegm and dampness

Fenglong point is a collateral point on the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian. Regular massage of this point can strengthen the spleen and stomach and eliminate phlegm and dampness. . Find the two points of the knee eye and lateral ankle from the outside of the leg and connect them into a line. Then take the midpoint of this line and then find the tibia on the leg. It is 1.5 inches outside the front edge of the tibia, which is about the width of two fingers. Level with the midpoint just now, this place is Fenglong point. Press it for 1 to 3 minutes every day.

8. The diet should be light

In terms of dietary maintenance, Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty advocated that people "always should eat light and sweet foods, such as barley, wheat, koji, and japonica rice." He also said : "Those who are good at maintaining health should always eat less meat and more rice." While emphasizing a clean and tonic diet, people are warned not to eat too salty or sweet foods. In summer, when human body metabolism is strong and sweat is easily leaked, consuming qi and damaging body fluids, it is advisable to eat more foods that can dispel heat, replenish qi, produce body fluids and quench thirst. Due to the decline of body functions in the elderly, the secretion of digestive juices decreases in hot weather, and the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular sclerosis occurs to varying degrees. The diet should be mainly clear and tonic, supplemented by foods that clear away heat, relieve heat, protect the stomach, nourish the spleen, and have blood pressure and lipid-lowering functions.

9. Exercise and health

Biological metabolism is strong and the growth is rapid in the Miscanthus solar term. This technique is named after "awnzhong". The Qigong exercise method developed in compliance with the characteristics of this season is suitable for exercising during the awning season. It can be started at the awning season and practiced until the summer solstice. During the Ear Grain season, most human diseases manifest themselves in the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian. The Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian originates from the heart, is connected to the heart, goes down to the diaphragm, and connects to the small intestine. Its branches branch off from the heart system, ascend along the esophagus, and connect to the eye system.
