2, take a hot bath: taking a cold bath in summer will shrink the skin, and after washing, it will feel hotter, while taking a hot bath will sweat more, but it will expand the capillaries and help the body to expel heat. Sweating when sweating in summer is the way to conform to the laws of nature and human rhythm.
3, hot water to wash feet: the foot is called the second heart, and there are representative areas of the whole body and reflection points of the internal organs on people's feet.

The way to keep fit in summer
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, summer belongs to fire, and a special stage of summer is called "long summer" and belongs to soil alone. Summer health should pay attention to the following aspects:
1, although the temperature is high, we should still take care of the yang of the human body. Also known as "nourishing yang in spring and summer". Yang is the motive force of human beings, which fluctuates with the alternation of seasons and the sun and the moon. In summer, Yang is vigorous and often floats outside, but it is easy to be injured by external evils. If you sweat, you will die of Yang. In other words, in the hot summer, it is generally not appropriate to do a lot of exercise, and water and nutrients should be replenished in time after exercise.
2. After long summer, the northern hemisphere will get plenty of sunshine, the sunshine time will be prolonged, and the temperature will increase, so people's sleep will be reduced. People with sleep disorders are more likely to get worse, trouble sleeping, or restless at night. Chinese medicine says that it is appropriate to "lie down early and get up early" in summer to conform to the solar terms. If you can't go to bed early at night, a proper lunch break at noon is still a good adjustment. It is the best arrangement to get up early in summer and do moderate morning exercises.
3. When entering the midsummer season, the temperature is high and the humidity is high, giving people a sultry feeling, which is what Chinese medicine calls long summer. Long summer belongs to the soil in the five elements, corresponding to the spleen of the five internal organs of traditional Chinese medicine, and the spleen hates dampness and likes dryness, so long summer often suffers from spleen and stomach diseases, and symptoms such as loss of appetite and diarrhea appear. People with weak spleen and stomach should adjust their diet in time, have adequate nutrition without increasing the burden on the spleen and stomach, and can eat less and eat more meals. Sweating in summer often makes people thirsty, but we should pay attention not to drink a lot of water before meals, let alone drink a lot of cold drinks. On the contrary, it is easy to damage the spleen and stomach, leading to chronic spleen and stomach diseases.
4. There are plenty of fruits and vegetables in summer, so you can eat more. However, you should pay attention to the taste of fruits and know your own physique to avoid damage. For example, people with spleen and stomach deficiency should not eat a lot of cool fruits such as watermelon, pear, kiwi fruit and grapefruit; Those with internal fire and phlegm dampness should eat less longan and litchi. Allergic constitution, eat mango, pineapple and so on carefully. As the saying goes, "peaches nourish people, apricots hurt people, and plums lift people to death." Eating more plums makes people feel phlegm, helps damp, and even makes people feel weak, hot and dizzy. People with urinary calculi should not eat more strawberries; People with stomach acid and diarrhea should eat less bananas; Apples, peaches, grapes, cantaloupes, mulberries, watermelons and other fruits have high sugar content, so diabetics should eat carefully.
5. In summer, the yang of the human body floats on the body surface and leaks with sweating, which makes the defensive qi insufficient and reduces the resistance. If you feel the external wind at this time, it can also cause wind-cold, wind-heat and summer-dampness. Therefore, there are many types of cold in summer: wind-cold cold, fever is not very obvious, and cold is obviously hated. At the same time, nasal discharge is clear and sneezing is repeated. At this time, you should take 2 bags of cold-clearing granules immediately, take them hot, or drink brown sugar water with scallion, ginger and slices every 2-3 hours, and most symptoms will be obviously relieved. If the body temperature rises rapidly, accompanied by aversion to cold, throat discomfort, etc., most of them are wind-heat colds. You can take Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, antiviral oral liquid, Qingkailing and vitamin C Yinqiao tablets in the early stage. If fever is accompanied by nausea or vomiting, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, etc., it is mostly a summer-damp cold, similar to the gastrointestinal cold of western medicine. At this time, you should take Huoxiang Zhengqi capsule or water in time, and increase the dose for the first time, 3-4 times a day. At the same time, control your diet and cook some lotus leaf mung bean porridge.
6. The humid and sultry climate makes people's skin susceptible to infection, and summer is also a season of frequent skin diseases. Paying attention to skin care and taking a bath with some natural herbs will make people spend a healthy and pleasant summer. Such as mulberry leaf bath, put about 0/00g of mulberry leaf 10- 15 minutes in a pot, and then pour it into the bathtub, which can eliminate skin acne, furuncle, brown spots, etc. Another example is mint bath, which can prevent eczema and prickly heat.
