2. What should I eat when sweating in summer?
1, water. Water is the most abundant component in human body. The water content of adult men is about 60% of their body weight, and that of women is 50%~55%. The main component of sweat is water, so drinking more water is naturally the most critical. In hot summer, sweating should be more than the minimum recommended amount. It is suggested to drink more than 2000 ml (about 10 cup) of water alone every day in summer to ensure adequate water intake. At the same time, it should be remembered that water should be drunk several times in small quantities, and don't wait until you are thirsty.
2. Salty food. When you sweat more in summer, you lose more salt in your body. Therefore, we should pay attention to eating more salty food to supplement the lost salt in the body and achieve the balance needed by the body. Those who love sweets should pay special attention, although the cake in the freezer is so attractive.
3. Foods rich in potassium. Potassium should also be supplemented in time after sweating a lot, because potassium will also flow out of the body with sweat. Fruits or juices containing potassium include bananas, strawberries, oranges, grapes, grapefruit, watermelons and pears. Potash-rich beans and green vegetables: spinach, yam, edamame, amaranth, scallion, kelp, laver, yellow croaker, chicken and milk. Orange juice and tea have high potassium content, followed by beans, celery, parsley and bananas.
4, dehumidification and spleen food. Sweating on the palms and feet indicates that the heat is heavy. People with heavy damp heat usually have sticky stools, dry mouth and love to drink water. In this case, it is necessary to remove heat and dehumidify and strengthen the spleen. Eat more foods that clear away heat and relieve summer heat, remove dampness and strengthen the spleen, such as bitter foods such as bitter gourd and chicory, as well as melons such as cucumber, watermelon and wax gourd, and spleen-strengthening foods such as coix seed, yam and mushrooms.
5. "sour" food. In summer, you sweat a lot, so you need to eat sour food properly, such as tomatoes, lemons, strawberries, dark plums, grapes, hawthorn, pineapples, mangoes, kiwis, etc. Their sour taste can stop sweating, stop diarrhea and eliminate dampness, prevent excessive sweating from consuming gas and hurting yin, and promote fluid production to quench thirst, strengthen stomach and promote digestion.
3. Abnormal sweating in summer
(1) sweaty palms and soles
Usually, palms are prone to sweating, and feet and armpits are also sweating badly. The theory of typhoid fever points out that "it is mostly caused by wet steaming of the spleen and stomach, reaching the limbs and hands." This kind of sweating is generally a manifestation of discomfort in the spleen and stomach and intestines. If accompanied by dry mouth and swollen gums, you can take Niuhuang Qingwei Pill and Qingwei Huanglian Pill for clearing stomach heat. If accompanied by abdominal distension and pain, constipation, mostly belong to the heat syndrome of fecal accumulation in the intestine, you can take laxatives. In addition, there are some external methods, such as soaking feet with alum or pueraria root decoction, or washing hands with astragalus root decoction, which will improve after a long time.
(2) excessive sweating on the head and face
Old people and women who are weak after delivery will have excessive head sweat, mostly due to qi deficiency. Sweating on the top of your head should nourish the kidney and clear the lungs, and you can drink it with water such as Ophiopogon japonicus. Eating a little lily japonica rice porridge properly can moisten the lungs and stop sweating. Whenever eating, my head is dripping with sweat and my body is hot. This kind of food should be based on purging stomach fire, and be careful not to eat too greasy, eat more fresh vegetables and have a light diet. Some people have love sweating on their foreheads because the humidity is too heavy, so they should usually eat more foods that are good for draining water, such as coix seed, yam, sweet potato and wax gourd.
(3) You sweat when you move during the day.
When you are inactive or slightly active during the day, you will sweat. These people often have the characteristics of weak body, low voice, poor appetite, easy to catch a cold and so on, which Chinese medicine thinks is the performance of qi deficiency. Eat more yam, soybean milk, beef and mutton, lentils, chestnuts, walnuts, etc. in the diet. You can also use Dangshen or Astragalus to stew chicken to replenish the body and relieve qi deficiency. You can also enhance your physical fitness through exercises with slow movements and a combination of static and dynamic movements, such as Tai Ji Chuan and Baduanjin. Recommend a soup of Astragalus membranaceus and red dates, with 30g of Astragalus membranaceus, 20g of red dates, and lean pork100g, which is decocted in water. It is suitable for spontaneous sweating due to deficiency of qi.
(4) Sweating more in the middle of the night
This situation is more common in middle-aged people around 50 years old and elderly people over 65 years old. After falling asleep, in the middle of the night or at dawn, the chest, back, thighs and other places sweat, sweating more, falling asleep sweating, waking up sweating, Chinese medicine called "night sweats." These people often have the characteristics of insomnia, hot hands and feet, upset, flushed cheeks and dry mouth and pharynx, which are mostly caused by kidney yin deficiency and liver fire. Do not eat spicy hot food, do not drink alcohol, eat more fresh vegetables and pay attention to the combination of work and rest. Bedding, bedding, pajamas, etc., should be removed and washed or aired frequently to keep dry, and should be bathed frequently to reduce the irritation of sweat to the skin. In addition, hypoglycemia, hyperthyroidism, diabetes and other diseases can also cause hyperhidrosis and should be treated in hospital in time.
4, the misunderstanding of sweating in summer
1 summer hair removal
Others often depilate in summer to inhibit perspiration and prevent body odor, but it leads to inflammation, rough keratinization and pigmentation of hair follicles. Excessive and frequent use of antiperspirant lotion is contrary to the natural laws of human body, so that the metabolic waste of sweat glands can not be discharged normally, and the skin is continuously stimulated, resulting in redness, itching, etc., which may cause hyperthermia and even heat shock.
Wipe off immediately after sweating
There are four ways to dissipate heat on the skin surface: radiation, conduction, convection and evaporation, especially when the ambient temperature rises to close to or exceed the body temperature, evaporation of sweat becomes the only way to dissipate heat. When the heat production of human body increases at high temperature, sweat glands will secrete a lot of sweat, which will take away a lot of heat when it evaporates, and play a role in cooling down. Every time you evaporate 1 ml of sweat, you can take away 0.58 kcal of heat.
If you wipe it off immediately after sweating, you can't play its role of evaporation and heat dissipation; At the same time, because the heat is not distributed, sweat glands will continue to secrete sweat, and the salt and vitamins in the body will also be consumed, which is not good for health.
Take a shower with cold water immediately after sweating.
You can't wash with cold water immediately after sweating in summer. After sweating, the blood vessels of the skin are still in a state of expansion, and cold water is immediately rushed. The skin stimulated by cold water will cause blood vessels to contract, but it will make it difficult to dissipate heat and increase body temperature. At the same time, the amount of blood flowing back to the heart suddenly increases, which will increase the burden on the heart. Also, after the body enters the cold environment from the hot environment, it is too late to adapt to the adjustment, and it is often easy to catch a cold or cause gastrointestinal cramps. After exercising and sweating, muscle fatigue and tension increase. At this time, if you are stimulated by cold, it may also cause cramps.
4 always turn on the air conditioner
Many people have some misconceptions about sweating in summer. The first thing to do is to turn on the air conditioner often, which will easily reduce the synthesis of heat stress protein in the body and reduce the tolerance to high temperature. Once you return to the environment where the heat wave is rolling outside, it will be difficult to adapt, and sweat glands will become ineffective for a long time, leading to heatstroke. People with high blood pressure and coronary heart disease are also prone to stroke and myocardial infarction.
