1. How to strengthen the spleen and stomach in summer
1, calm down.
As the weather gets hotter and hotter, people will inevitably get upset. Chinese medicine believes that anger and depression can lead to qi stagnation and liver injury, liver failure and nausea, which can lead to digestive symptoms such as loss of appetite, abdominal distension and pain, diarrhea or constipation.
Therefore, in daily work and study, we should adapt to the characteristics of long days and short nights in summer and adjust our plans and life rhythm in time. Listen to music and think about beautiful things in your spare time, or go for a walk or outing in the park to relax as much as possible. As the saying goes, peace of mind is naturally cool.
2, light diet
It is rainy and humid in summer, and the moisture in the body is too heavy, which will make people sleepy, have no appetite, and the digestive function of the spleen and stomach will deteriorate. So it is very important to dehumidify and nourish the stomach in summer. Job's tears can be said to be the best food for summer heat and dehumidification. You might as well put some in the porridge, or boil some tears of Job, and take a bottle as a drink when you go out. In addition to coix seed, wax gourd, red beans and lentils are also good choices for eliminating dampness in summer.
Eat a light diet and don't eat too greasy food, so as not to increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Eat some fruits such as hawthorn, ebony and papaya after meals to strengthen the spleen and promote digestion. As the saying goes, hot food is not as good as tonic. You can eat bitter vegetables such as bitter gourd and purslane to clear away heat and relieve summer heat.
In addition, due to the hot weather in Xia Hou, some people like to eat sorbet and drink to quench their thirst and relieve summer heat, but the drinks and sorbet are too cold to stimulate the stomach, so it is not recommended to eat sorbet and drink instead of water. Water is the best thirst-quenching drink, and people who sweat a lot can drink light salt water in moderation.
3, the law of life
There are long sunshine hours in summer, and many people are used to getting up early and going to bed late, which is not good for their health. Keeping enough sleep in summer is of great significance for promoting the health of the spleen and stomach and improving work efficiency.
In addition to adequate sleep and regular work and rest, summer nap plays a key role in ensuring good health and reducing the occurrence of certain diseases. Sleeping indoors at noon can replenish the spirit and ensure normal work and life in the afternoon. But the nap time should not be too long, half an hour to an hour is appropriate.
In addition, when using the air conditioner in summer, be careful not to adjust the temperature too low to avoid blowing for a long time, and cover the bedding when sleeping to prevent the stomach from catching cold and causing stomach problems or aggravating the original stomach diseases.
4. Exercise to nourish the stomach
Although it is very hot in summer, we'd better make sure to exercise slowly for half an hour to an hour every morning or evening. Because proper physical exercise can enhance the gastrointestinal function, increase the secretion of digestive juice, promote the digestion of food and the absorption of nutrients, improve the blood circulation of gastrointestinal tract, promote metabolism, and delay the aging of digestive system, such as swimming, walking, yoga and other light exercises are good substitutes. In addition, Tai Ji Chuan's combination of dynamic and static, rigidity and softness, ups and downs, conforms to the natural law of the ups and downs of Yin and Yang in summer, and can be described as the best health-keeping exercise in summer.
Step 5 pay attention to hygiene
Summer is the high incidence period of gastrointestinal diseases such as bacillary dysentery, acute gastroenteritis and food poisoning, so the prevention of gastrointestinal diseases is particularly important.
First of all, we should pay attention to food hygiene, strictly clean cookware, utensils and food, separate raw and cooked food, and add raw garlic to the cold salad for sterilization; Secondly, try not to eat rotten leftovers, and the food should be fully heated. Don't eat it if it is left for too long.
In addition, pot-stewed vegetables are popular dishes in summer. If people who cook pot-stewed vegetables do not pay attention to hygiene, people who eat them are easily infected with germs, so it is recommended to buy cooked food such as pot-stewed vegetables in regular supermarkets or restaurants.
Step 6 beware of misunderstanding
As the saying goes, eating radish in winter and ginger in summer does not require a doctor to prescribe. It is generally believed that people should eat more ginger in summer, but it is not. When we are caught in the rain in summer, or when we blow an electric fan or air conditioner and catch cold, drinking ginger syrup in time will help to expel the cold in our body. However, when we are constipated and have a bitter taste, we should not eat ginger. In addition, we should realize that ginger is an irritating food, and excessive consumption will stimulate gastric acid secretion, cause stomach discomfort or aggravate the condition. Whether you can eat ginger depends on TCM syndrome differentiation and different prescriptions for symptomatic treatment.
Drinking beer in summer is the most pleasant thing. It's hot, have a few glasses of beer to cool off. It is generally believed that beer is mainly made of barley malt and rice, which can nourish the stomach. But drinking too much beer not only does not nourish the stomach, but also hurts the stomach, especially cold beer. Beer itself contains alcohol, and there is no doubt that alcohol hurts the stomach. Moreover, when the alcohol concentration in the body is high, heat will be generated in the body, which will not only relieve the symptoms of heat, but also aggravate sweating and dry mouth.
Generally speaking, light diet, attention to hygiene, proper exercise and mood adjustment are the magic weapons for maintaining the spleen and stomach in summer, and even the magic weapon for keeping in good health in summer. Doing these can prevent stomach trouble.
