After the solar terms in long summer, the weather is getting hotter and plants are flourishing. This season is conducive to the physiological activities of the heart, so people should follow it when they intersect with the solar terms. The heart is yang, which governs yang. The yang of the heart can promote blood circulation and maintain human life activities. Yang-hot qi of the heart not only maintains its own physiological function, but also has a warming effect on the whole body. Water-liquid metabolism and sweat regulation of the human body are inseparable from the important role of the heart-yang. Therefore, in long summer season, people should conform to the law of solar terms change and focus on the maintenance of the heart. Go to bed late and get up early

At this time, people can go to sleep later and get up early according to the change of solar terms, so as to adapt to the change of yang exuberance and yin deficiency in nature. However, getting up early and going to bed late can easily lead to insufficient sleep. Therefore, after long summer, people should take more lunch breaks to promote the recovery of heart yang, so that the brain and all systems of the whole body can rest in time, eliminate fatigue and maintain abundant energy. The nap time varies from person to person, but it should not be too long. Generally, it is appropriate to take half an hour to one hour. Avoid fatigue after a nap. Eat less "cold" food

In summer, our qi and blood are all floating on the body surface, but the inside of our body is in a state of yin and cold. The most obvious thing is that our stomachs are cold, we are prone to diarrhea and abdominal pain. It is better to use warm food to warm and protect it, rather than eating cold food to make it worse. Eat less frozen watermelons and cold drinks. Cold food such as watermelon, mung bean and seafood should also be enough. In summer, the spleen and stomach are deficient and cold, and many people have various symptoms such as abdominal distension, no desire to eat, irregular stool, unfavorable urination, edema and so on. At this time, you can eat more pungent food, besides ginger, you can also eat some mutton, beef, onion, cinnamon and so on. Massage Yongquan point

Chinese medicine believes that "essence is born from the sole of the foot", and essence refers to human energy. There is an important acupoint on the sole of the foot, namely Yongquan point. Huangdi Neijing said: "The kidney comes from the spring, and the spring is full of heart." That is to say, the qi of the kidney meridian is like the source water, which comes from the foot and pours out to irrigate all parts of the body and limbs. Therefore, you can massage Yongquan point in your spare time every day. Regulating the mind in summer

From the point of view of the five internal organs, it is important to maintain health in summer by nourishing the mind and regulating the mind. The Neijing says, "Heat is generated in the south, and fire is made by heat". The heat should be in the summer, and the heart should control the blood, hiding the spirit, which can make you feel very sad and upset. Therefore, calming the mind and calming the nerves is very important, and the mind is naturally cool. As Qiu Chuji said: "Xia San month, those who want to be at peace with their spirits" should be "calm and calm, have no sound outside, have a thin taste inside, be lofty, have a long view, lie down early and get up early, be insatiable on the sun, and follow the positive sun to cool off the summer heat." Recuperate my mind, there is always ice and snow in my heart, which can be described as calm and naturally cool.
