So, what can I do to raise my heart in summer? Let's share a few summer heart-nourishing methods, and follow them, especially for elderly friends. Do the following things well in dog days to help you raise a good heart, and get less sick all summer, and your body will get better and better.
How's your heart? Whether the heart is good or not can be seen by looking at it. People with good hearts often have ruddy faces and don't always feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. People with a bad heart, however, have poor qi and blood circulation, tend to be pale and lack of heart, and often pause when speaking.
To nourish your heart in summer, you should first avoid doing things that hurt your heart. If your mood changes too much, it will be sunny one second, but it will be stormy the next. You should pay attention to the fact that joy and sorrow are easy to consume your mind. If you like sports, you should still do strenuous exercise in hot weather in summer. It should also be noted that Chinese medicine believes that sweat is the liquid of the heart, and excessive sweating is likely to cause deficiency of the heart and yang.
After getting rid of these habits, you can start to nourish your heart. Now it is dog days. If you can do the following things in dog days, you may be able to raise a good heart and let you spend the summer healthily:
To nourish the heart in summer, one must clear the heart of fire.
Compare these physical manifestations: frequent thirst, redness on the tip of the tongue, sores, acne on the forehead, insomnia and constipation. Generally speaking, people with strong heart fire are prone to these characteristics. If you have them, you should hurry to get rid of them.
Summer is hot, especially in dog days. At this time, heart fire is easy to flourish, and people often feel irritable. For some women, it may also affect the health of the liver. A strong heart and a bad mood affect each other. If you want to reduce your heart, I suggest that you learn to adjust your mood and maintain a relatively peaceful attitude, so that you can gain without joy and lose without worry. In terms of diet, it is appropriate to eat bitter food, such as bitter gourd and bitter vegetables, which will help you clear your heart. At ordinary times, you can often eat red food, such as tomatoes, red beans, apples, etc., which is conducive to protecting your heart.
Nourish the heart in summer, and second, nourish the heart.
The temperature is relatively high, the work and rest are easy to be irregular, and there are mosquitoes. Many people go to bed early at night, but they can't sleep, and they are sleepy again the next day. In dog days, you might as well take a nap at noon every day, which will help you nourish your heart, relieve fatigue and improve the efficiency of work and study in the afternoon.
Need to remind everyone that taking a nap pays attention to methods, and whether it is beneficial to health depends on how you sleep. The nap time in summer should not be too long, so as to avoid falling asleep at night and disturbing the normal work and rest. It is suggested that the nap time should be between 15-30 minutes; It is not advisable to take a nap just after eating, and it is recommended to rest for about half an hour after eating; Attention should also be paid to the posture of taking a nap. It is best to sleep in bed if conditions are limited. It is recommended to wear a pillow and try not to sleep on your stomach.
Nourish the heart in summer, and third, nourish the yang.
Raising yang in spring and summer is also a good time to treat winter diseases in summer. Some friends think that the yang in summer is already very strong and there is no need to supplement it, but in fact, it is often easy to cause yang deficiency in summer, so it is necessary to seize the good opportunity to raise yang in summer to avoid the loss of yang. If your hands and feet are cold in the hot dog days, you should pay attention to it. You should keep warm and eat less cold food, which will help to raise yang. If the yang is insufficient, it will be impossible to warm the limbs, which will also have a negative impact on the health of organs such as the heart.
For elderly friends, to raise the heart in summer, we should pay attention to the following two questions:
Drinking water and keeping warm, when people get old, blood circulation slows down, and the viscosity will increase. If they drink less water at ordinary times, they are prone to water shortage. If they still work in the fields, they will be prone to potassium deficiency if they don't replenish water for a long time, which will affect the normal blood pressure and be detrimental to heart health. Middle-aged and elderly people should pay attention to replenishing water in summer, but don't drink too fast, so as not to increase the burden on the heart.
In addition, the dog days are too hot, and many people stay in air-conditioned rooms for a long time every day. However, many middle-aged and elderly people have chronic diseases, such as poor joints and bad heart, and it is not appropriate to blow air conditioners for a long time. It is suggested that the temperature should not be too low when blowing, and it is more suitable at 26-27 degrees, so keep warm.
Conclusion: Summer is suitable for nourishing the heart, which is in the dog days. If you can do these things well in these dozens of days, or you can spend the summer in good health, your heart will be healthier. For elderly friends, it is recommended to pay extra attention to the above two problems, and proper health preservation is really good for your health.
