Health care guide in hot summer, the heat is unbearable.
People often regard fruit juice, sorbet and other cold drinks and snacks as treasures to relieve summer heat and cool down. In fact, the treasures of heatstroke prevention and cooling in summer should be the following: salt boiled water: Chinese medicine calls boiled water "the king of all medicines."
Drinking boiled water should choose fresh cold boiled water (20℃ to 25℃) that is naturally cooled after boiling. This kind of boiled water has specific biological activity, and it is easy to enter cells through the cell membrane and be quickly absorbed and utilized. You'd better add some salt when drinking boiled water.
In summer, the temperature is high, sweating is much, the salt in the body is reduced, and the osmotic pressure in the body will lose stability, leading to heatstroke. Drinking salty boiled water or salty tea can supplement the salt lost in the body, thus achieving the effect of heatstroke prevention and cooling. Tea: Potassium is an important trace element in human body, which can maintain the normal function of nerves and muscles, especially the normal movement of myocardium.
Scientific analysis shows that tea contains more potassium, accounting for about 1.5% of its proportion. Potassium is easily excreted with sweat, so tea with suitable temperature should be the first choice in summer.
Vinegar: In summer, people drink more water, so their stomach acid decreases correspondingly and their appetite decreases. Proper vinegar can increase the concentration of gastric acid, stimulate appetite and help digestion.
Adding vinegar when cooking can increase stomach acid and increase appetite. Summer is the epidemic season of intestinal infectious diseases, and jealousy can also improve the bactericidal effect of gastrointestinal tract.
In addition, if you add a few drops of vinegar during cooking, it will also reduce the loss of vitamin C in vegetables and help people absorb iron in food. Mung bean soup: Mung bean soup has a unique effect of relieving summer heat.
Chinese medicine believes that mung bean has the effects of relieving summer heat and benefiting qi, clearing away heat and toxic materials, moistening throat and quenching thirst, and inducing diuresis to reduce swelling, which can prevent heatstroke. Related experiments show that mung beans have obvious effects on lowering cholesterol in blood and protecting liver.
The only drawback is that mung beans are too cold to be eaten by the weak. Bitter gourd: Bitter gourd is fragrant and delicious because of its bitter taste, and it is regarded as a rare food therapy product.
China folks have had the experience of "bitter can clear away heat" and "bitter can strengthen the stomach" since ancient times. Chinese medicine believes that bitter gourd tastes bitter and cold, and can clear away heat and purge fire.
Bitter bitter taste of bitter gourd can secrete saliva and gastric juice, greatly increase appetite, clear away heat and prevent heatstroke. So it is appropriate to eat bitter gourd in summer. Ren Dan: The main ingredients are peppermint ice, talc, catechu, clove, banksia rose, fennel, Amomum villosum and dried tangerine peel.
It has the effects of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, avoiding filth and stopping vomiting, and is a commonly used medicine for heatstroke prevention in summer. Mainly used for headache, dizziness, nausea, abdominal pain, acclimatization and other symptoms caused by high temperature.
This medicine can promote intestinal peristalsis and relieve intestinal spasm. Heat stroke, acute gastroenteritis, and cough with excessive phlegm are suitable.
2. Summer disease prevention knowledge
Summer is the peak of infectious diseases, diarrhea and skin diseases.
Therefore, while doing a good job in heatstroke prevention and cooling, we should also pay attention to the prevention of frequent diseases in summer. 1. Hot colds and sweating make us consume a lot of energy, and our appetite is poor in summer, and we don't have enough nutrition to supplement it in time, which makes our body's resistance decline.
In addition, coveting the coolness, punching a hole or taking a cold bath with cold water when sweating, blowing constantly at the electric fan when sleeping, and turning on the air conditioner for a long time may all lead to the occurrence of summer colds. Health tip: High temperature will consume a lot of body fluids. Pay attention to drinking boiled water, a small amount for many times, usually 300 ~ 500ml each time.
You can drink some light salt boiled water if necessary. In addition, sleep is also very helpful for the treatment of summer colds. At least 8 hours of sleep should be guaranteed, and a hot bath at night can help you fall asleep.
In addition, the diet must be reasonable and eat more foods with high vitamin content such as vegetables, tomatoes and cucumbers; Eat more lean meat and increase protein. 2. Bacillary dysentery is the high incidence of intestinal diseases in summer. Bacillary dysentery is the most common intestinal infectious disease, which is not only related to the reproductive activities of flies, but also related to the gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by people's liking to eat cold food in hot days.
Health tip: don't put the food of the day on the next day, the weather is hot and easy to deteriorate, and bacteria are easy to breed; Open fruits, such as watermelons, should be eaten as much as possible, or sealed with plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator, but the time should not exceed 24 hours. 3. "Heatstroke" of the elderly In the hot summer, the human body sweats more, while the water in the elderly is less than that in the young, and the physiological response is slower, so it is the easiest to "dehydrate" in summer.
"Dehydration" will thicken the blood, which is tantamount to "adding fuel to the fire" for the elderly with hypertension or cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and the probability of stroke will naturally increase. Health tip: First of all, pay attention to replenish water.
Old people should always drink water when they are not thirsty. Second, patients with a history of stroke should always pay attention to their symptoms. Generally speaking, dizziness, headache, numbness, weakness and frequent yawning are all signs before a stroke.
Third, heatstroke prevention and cooling should be timely and appropriate, the diet structure should be scientific and reasonable, and eat more cold foods such as bitter gourd and lotus seeds. You should have "protective" drugs ready.
4. Skin diseases The warm weather in summer is conducive to the reproduction and growth of various fungi and bacteria. In addition, people in summer are prone to sweating and their skin is moist. If it is not wiped and kept dry in time, fungi will invade the skin and cause beriberi. Contact with people or animals suffering from tinea and public appliances can lead to infection.
The most common athlete's foot is athlete's foot, which is what we call "Hong Kong foot". People who like to wear leather shoes are prone to beriberi, because leather shoes are airtight and the humidity and temperature of their feet increase. In addition, many young men are susceptible to tinea corporis and tinea versicolor (sweat spots) in summer.
3. Tips for preventing diseases in summer
Say goodbye to pleasant spring and step into hot summer. High temperature has caused many changes in human body function and the external environment for human survival. We should adjust our lifestyle and behavior in time to adapt to this change and enjoy the fun in summer. Let's talk about the characteristics and ingenious prevention of several common diseases in summer:
1, hot and cold: that is, we often say "hot and cold". Sweating in hot weather consumes a lot of body fluids and energy. In addition, rushing to blow the air conditioner or take a cold bath for a while weakens the body's resistance and leads to a cold. In view of this, in the case of sweating, extreme cooling should be avoided, and at the same time, drink more boiled water, and drink some light salt boiled water when necessary, while ensuring adequate sleep and necessary nutrition.
2, gastrointestinal diseases: high temperature in summer, food is easy to rot and deteriorate, and mosquitoes are rampant, prone to intestinal infectious diseases, such as cholera, dysentery, hepatitis A, food poisoning and so on. Therefore, don't eat unclean food in summer, don't catch cold for too long, especially don't eat too much frozen food, because this will lead to sudden contraction of gastrointestinal blood vessels, decreased secretion of gastric juice, decreased digestive function, and prone to gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea.
3, "heatstroke": For the elderly, the water in the body is less than that of young people, and the physiological response is slow. After sweating a lot, it is easy to produce "dehydration". "Dehydration" will make the blood thick. For the elderly with hypertension, hyperlipidemia or cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, it is tantamount to "adding fuel to the fire", and the probability of stroke naturally increases. When it comes to prevention, we should also replenish water in time, and at the same time pay attention to "drinking if you are not thirsty". The diet structure should also be adjusted, and eat more cold foods such as bitter gourd and lotus seeds. Patients with hypertension should always measure their blood pressure, adjust the dosage and keep their blood pressure stable.
4, skin diseases: high temperature is conducive to the reproduction of some bacteria and fungi, plus skin sweating, wet skin, but also conducive to the reproduction of some bacteria, so it is easy to produce some dermatophytosis, the most common dermatophytosis should belong to beriberi, commonly known as beriberi. Prevention should take keeping the skin clean and dry as the main measure, and choose pure cotton as far as possible for tinea pedis socks to facilitate sweat absorption.

About 5%. Potassium is easily excreted with sweat.
5. Common sense of heatstroke in summer
Here are some common sense of life for your reference. Please take measures to prevent heatstroke and cool down, and pay attention to your health.
First, replenish water in time but drink less drinks. Juice, cola, sprite, soda and other drinks contain more saccharin and electrolytes. Drinking too much will have adverse effects on the gastrointestinal tract and affect digestion and appetite.
So drink more boiled water or light salt (sugar) boiled water in summer. Second, it is not advisable to binge drink after being thirsty.
After sweating a lot in labor and sports, it is not advisable to drink a lot of white water, and some light salt (sugar) water should be supplemented appropriately, because after sweating a lot, too much salt is lost in the human body, accounting for about 0.5% of sweat. If salt is not supplemented in time, the ratio of water to salt in the body will be seriously unbalanced, leading to metabolic disorder. 3. The strongest time of solar short-wave radiation is around 10-15. Try to avoid going out during this time, and apply some sunscreen skin care products to your skin. It is best to wear light clothes in summer.
Fourth, it is not advisable to drink too much. In summer, human body is easily affected by temperature, and excessive damp heat is the cause of skin sores, carbuncle and toxic swelling. If you drink a lot of white wine, it will contribute to dryness and dampness, which is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
Fifth, the diet should not be too light. In summer, people have long activities, sweat a lot and consume a lot. They should eat more nutritious foods such as chicken, duck, lean meat and fish eggs to meet the metabolic needs of the human body.
Sixth, the nap time should not be too long. If the nap time is too long, the central nervous system will deepen the inhibition, the cerebral blood flow will be relatively reduced, and the metabolic process will slow down, leading to discomfort after waking up and more sleepiness.
7. Avoid "rapid cooling" after heating. In hot summer, when people go out or come back from work, they like to either turn on the electric fan or take a cold bath immediately, which will make the pores of the whole body close quickly, but the heat in the body is difficult to dissipate, and it will also cause insufficient blood supply to the brain due to the rapid contraction of blood vessels in the brain, which makes people dizzy.
Eight, air conditioning indoor and outdoor temperature difference should not be too big. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor air conditioners should not exceed 5 degrees. Even if the weather is hot again, the indoor temperature of the air conditioner should not be lower than 24 degrees.
Nine, it is not appropriate to wear metal jewelry. Some metals in metal ornaments are stained with sweat, and the skin will be red or itchy when worn, which may easily lead to contact dermatitis. To prevent heatstroke, in addition to trying to avoid going out during the period of the strongest sunshine from 10 to 2 pm, necessary protective measures should be taken: ① keep indoor ventilation and lower the room temperature, at least with electric fans; ② Working hours at high temperature should not be too long, and should not exceed 8 hours every day; (3) Reduce labor intensity, prepare heatstroke prevention and cooling drinks, and supplement brackish boiled water or salty drinks as much as possible; Ensure adequate sleep and eat more nutritious fruits and vegetables.
⑤ Try to penetrate the air-cooled cotton-padded jacket. A good drink in summer is hot tea. What kind of drink is better? Chinese medicine believes that only hot tea belongs to it.
Modern medical research shows that caffeine, theobromine, theophylline and aromatic substances dissolved in hot tea can excite the brain, which is beneficial to the regulation of body temperature center, and can strengthen the heart and diuresis, promote blood circulation, increase renal blood flow, accelerate metabolism, and make excess heat in the body excrete with urine. Drinking hot tea can promote blood flow to the body surface, open sweat pores, relax sweat glands, promote sweat discharge and emit heat.
Some people have determined that drinking hot tea for 9 minutes can reduce the skin temperature 1℃-2℃, and the cooling can last for more than 15 minutes. Old people are thirsty because of lack of body fluids. Tea polyphenols, sugars, amino acids and various aromatic substances contained in tea can stimulate oral mucosa, promote saliva secretion, and play a role in promoting fluid production and quenching thirst.
People suffering from obesity, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and other chronic diseases are prone to heatstroke in hot summer. Tea polyphenols, vitamin C, ester polysaccharide and other components in tea have the functions of protecting cardiovascular health, reducing cholesterol and blood lipid, protecting hematopoietic function, increasing white blood cells and enhancing disease resistance. Therefore, drinking tea is very beneficial to keep fit and prevent heatstroke. But drinking tea should be scientific, not excessive, and the tea should be light and moderate.
Soybean milk can relieve summer heat and reduce fire. In summer, people sweat a lot and consume a lot of energy. People generally lose weight to varying degrees. On the one hand, it is necessary to relieve summer heat, on the other hand, nutritional supplement is also very important. However, nutrients are lost too quickly in summer and are not easy to absorb; Moreover, tonic is easy to get angry, so summer tonic should be based on balanced nutrition, cooling down and removing fire, and it is not advisable to eat dry tonic.
Do you know that a small cup of soybean milk can not only achieve the purpose of tonic, but also relieve summer heat? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that soybean milk is flat and sweet, and has the effects of promoting fluid production and moistening dryness, "purging stomach fire to treat internal heat" and "benefiting underwater qi and controlling wind heat".
As we all know, mung beans have the effect of relieving summer heat. The "two bean drinks for relieving summer heat" made of soybeans and mung beans has the effects of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, moistening throat and quenching thirst.
At the same time, it is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Regular drinking can balance human nutrition, regulate endocrine, reduce cholesterol, relieve arteriosclerosis, hypertension and protect liver. There is also a kind of soybean milk: lily lotus seed pulp.
Materials: lily 10g, lotus seed meat 10g, tremella10g; 45g mung bean, crystal sugar or honey. Methods: dried lily and lotus seed meat were soaked in warm water until soft; White fungus is boiled with water, washed and picked into small flowers; Soak mung beans fully, wash them with lily, lotus seeds and tremella, put them into the net cover of soybean milk machine, inject appropriate amount of water into the cup, and install the machine in place.
Start the machine, and after ten minutes, the soybean milk with red dates and lotus seeds will be ready. You can add sugar or honey to the cup while it is hot according to your personal preference and stir it evenly.
The summer heat is coming. For special people, many people with poor resistance, such as infants, pregnant women, the elderly and the infirm, will suffer from heatstroke if they are not careful in a high temperature environment. If they are not rescued in time, it may lead to tragedy. Therefore, in hot weather, these special people should take measures to prevent heatstroke and cool down.
Infants and young children: wear thin cotton and light clothes. If you sweat, dry it immediately. Try not to use electric fans or air conditioners. Before going out to play with water, you should choose a sunscreen lotion with a sunscreen coefficient lower than 15 without essence.
The indoor and outdoor temperature difference should not be too large and the room temperature should not be lower than 25℃. It is best to put a basin of water in the air-conditioned room to avoid dryness.
Pregnant women: clothes should be cool and spacious, and eat more fresh vegetables and fresh bean products; Always scrub with warm water instead of taking a bath; Don't catch a cold because you are too greedy, but ensure sleep. Old and weak: guarantee no less than 7 hours a day.
