It's summer now, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. You can't be greedy at this time, otherwise it will leave the root of the disease. So what should we pay attention to in summer health care? The following is the knowledge of TCM summer health preservation that I brought to you. Welcome to reading.
First, pay attention to tonifying yang and drink less cold drinks.
Diet is the foundation of health preservation and the basic condition for human beings to maintain life. To make people live a healthy, happy, energetic and intelligent life in summer, we should be careful not to be satisfied with filling our stomachs, but to learn from them. Harmony between man and nature? Understand life from a perspective, let the human body adapt to the changes of the four seasons, arrange a reasonable diet, ensure that the essential nutrients of the human body are absorbed in different seasons, maintain normal physiological functions, and truly achieve the purpose of keeping healthy, prolonging life and getting rid of diseases.
Summer diet, it is important to nourish the yang.
Yang Qi, Chinese medicine generally refers to human kinetic energy activities. Chinese medicine believes:? Yang qi, keeping external solid. ? That is to say, yang has a protective effect on human body, which can make people healthy and strong, enhance their resistance and avoid the invasion of six evils in nature.
At the turn of spring and summer, hair grows vigorously, and its nature belongs to yang. Autumn and winter are characterized by calm and stagnation, and their nature is yin. Yin and Yang are the unity of contradictions, with four seasons alternating and cold and summer alternating, which is a reflection of the growth and decline of Yin and Yang and the mutual root of Yin and Yang. For example, people with yang deficiency are slightly better in spring and summer and worse in autumn and winter. Therefore, it is necessary to recuperate when the sun is shining in summer, and only in autumn and winter can the symptoms be alleviated or the recurrence be reduced.
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the treatment of winter diseases in summer. In the dog days, Radix Angelicae Dahuricae, Asari, Semen Sinapis Albae, Ramulus Cinnamomi and other traditional Chinese medicines are ground into fine powder and applied to the points of Beishu and Dingchuan to treat chronic bronchitis and emphysema in the elderly, and satisfactory results can be achieved. If it can be combined with oral medicine for invigorating spleen and tonifying kidney, the curative effect will be better.
Chinese medicine? Raise yang? Meaning, including the meaning of nourishing kidney and strengthening yang, kidney yang is the foundation of yang, so the ancients should pay attention to nourishing yang in spring and summer? From its roots? Only in this way can we really achieve the purpose of nourishing yang in summer. By extension, can people with chronic yang deficiency adopt this constitution? Winter disease is cured in summer? In spring and summer, give appropriate food, such as leek, mustard, onion, pepper, ginger and so on. Or choose fresh fruits such as litchi, bayberry, peach, apricot, longan and jujube; Or use yang-tonifying drugs to regulate and maintain, often can receive miraculous effects.
Spicy vegetables and fruits are good herbs for tonifying yang in summer. Of course, if you belong to Wang Yang's body, you can't use too many warm products to add fuel to the fire. On the contrary, you should use cold and wet products and strong aquatic fire to make it sunny.
Remind everyone that raising yang in summer should also be treated according to everyone's different situation, so as to really use the sunshine in summer to cultivate the deficiency in autumn and winter.
Eat less cold drinks in summer tonic.
It is very hot in summer, and people like to eat cold food and drinks. But raising yang requires eating less cold drinks in summer. Because in summer, the pores of human skin are loose, and there is much heat dissipation, which consumes the yang in the body. If you are greedy for cold drinks and your yang is damaged, you will have abdominal pain, diarrhea, cough and asthma. Therefore, the amount of cold drinks and cold food should be properly controlled in summer diet, and the speed of eating should not be too fast.
People with weak spleen and stomach, or children, should be temperate in particular. Of course, if you are healthy, eating some cold foods in summer can play a role in clearing away heat and relieving summer heat.
Usually, men with weak yang qi should take drugs to warm and replenish yang qi when the yang qi is strong in summer. Only in this way can we get a better therapeutic effect. Although yin deficiency has various symptoms due to different viscera, it is characterized by cold and warm hands and feet, pale complexion, pale tongue and slow pulse. Such a man should not eat cold food in summer.
Second, learn to avoid summer and humidity in summer.
In summer, we don't have to master many TCM terms. It is important to pay attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation. Harmony between man and nature? According to the characteristics of summer, it is different from other seasons, especially in many places, it presents the climate characteristics of humidity and steam. The temperature is high, the rain is heavy, the humidity is high, and it is humid and sultry. It is usually called long summer. Because summer is hot and humid, people are most likely to get sick.
Especially in the south, it is humid, hot and humid. There are choices in diet. If the summer heat is heavy, you should choose a cold one. If eating watermelon is wet, it is necessary to eat wet food, such as bitter gourd, red beans, lotus seeds and coix seed, which has obvious dehumidification effect.
But in diet, we should learn to understand the taste of food, so that we can learn to use it flexibly and choose food according to our own physique. For example, watermelon can relieve summer heat, but people with spleen and stomach deficiency should pay attention to it and not eat more. ?
Third, know how to drink ginger tea in summer to tonify spleen and strengthen yang.
In summer, people often only know how to drink herbal tea to cool off the heat, but they don't know how to drink ginger tea to tonify spleen and strengthen yang.
In summer in the south, humidity is often high in many places, so we should know how to get rid of damp heat, not be greedy for cold, use less cold water, not eat too many cold drinks and sweat too much. Let the accumulated heat in the body go out. For example, you used to cook mung bean soup to relieve summer heat, but now you'd better put half mung bean and half red bean. Solid and red beans can strengthen the spleen and remove dampness.
In the south, drinking herbal tea in summer is very common. But Chinese medicine says that the yang of the human body is in a state of venting in summer. At this time, drinking too much herbal tea is easy to damage the spleen and stomach yang and reduce appetite. This will cause abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Summer is the most vigorous time for human metabolism, sweating a lot and opening pores. If you are greedy for cold, blow air conditioning after sweating, or the air conditioner is too cold, these will damage the yang of the human body.
So don't drink more herbal tea, especially people with weak spleen and stomach function. In many places, the custom of drinking ginger tea in summer has played a role in invigorating the spleen and eliminating dampness.
Fourth, women especially protect their navel feet.
In summer, many girls love beauty and like to show their backs and umbilicus, which is contrary to TCM health preservation.
Chinese medicine believes that the back of a person is where the Du meridian is located, and the person in charge of the human body is Yang. If the back is cold, it will hinder the whole body yang movement, and the umbilical Shenque point belongs to ren meridian, and its function is to regulate qi and blood, which is closely related to women's menstruation and reproduction. The cold of navel and back not only affects the spleen and stomach, but also causes abdominal pain, diarrhea and loss of appetite. It will also affect girls' dysmenorrhea and menstrual disorder, which will have an impact on reproduction.
Tip: Don't forget that clothes are more important than beauty. Girls should not wear too thin clothes in summer, and keep their abdomen and back warm. If you are in an air-conditioned room, you'd better wear a small coat to keep warm to prevent high temperature in summer.
In an air-conditioned room, it is best not to go barefoot. The yin pulse of human body gathers the heart. The soles of the feet are the easiest to catch cold. Why in summer, wearing a little thicker shoes won't feel hot. If you don't pay attention to the warmth of your feet, it will affect your blood circulation.
When the weather is very cold, wearing warm shoes can obviously enhance the ability to keep out the cold. Cold starts with the feet, and warming the feet warms the body. At first, some people were afraid of cold. In summer, they should pay more attention to keep their feet warm and wear sandals barefoot.
Fifth, balance the yin and yang of the human body, and don't forget the meridian sleep.
Many people are in the spring of everything, but they are inexplicably in a bad mood, unhappy, often crying, sore eyes, dull nails and other symptoms, which are caused by abnormal liver function. What is the theory of TCM health preservation? Spring corresponds to the liver? Spring health should be based on nourishing the liver. When the liver function is normal, the qi and blood of the human body will be smooth, otherwise the qi and blood will stagnate and many diseases will occur.
Huangdi Neijing says:? In Xia San, I stayed up at night and got up early, and I was insatiable for the sun. ? "The key to class repair? The key summary of health preservation is:? Get up early in spring and summer, sleep in autumn and winter, and crow after sunrise. ? According to the natural law of long spring, long summer, long autumn harvest and winter storage, summer is the most vigorous season for all things to grow, so we should pay attention to summer health care? Raise a dragon? . Get up earlier in summer than in other seasons. When is the appropriate time to get up early?
The ancients thought it was inappropriate to get up before the cock crowed, that is, it was best to get up between 5 am and 6 am. So when is the best time to sleep? Because the summer climate is hot, you can wait until the summer heat dissipates and people's breath is relatively peaceful before going to bed. The time is a little later than other seasons, but it should not be too late. It's usually around 1 1 in the evening. Meridian sleep advocated by the ancients is very suitable for health preservation in summer.
Meridian sleep is one of the ancient methods of sleep health preservation, that is, falling asleep at noon and noon every day to achieve the purpose of providing for the elderly. Noon is 1 1 till the next morning 1, and noon is 1 1 till the afternoon 1. Chinese medicine believes that meridians are the time when yin and yang meet and decline. Qi and blood in the body are extremely unbalanced, so it is necessary to lie still and rest, so that qi and blood can slowly return to normal. Especially in childhood, it is the time when yin is the most abundant and yang is the weakest, and it is also the time when the meridians of traditional Chinese medicine run to the liver and gallbladder. At this time, timely rest can nourish yin, the quality of sleep is the best, and the sleep effect is the best, which can play a multiplier role.
Some people, especially young people, often stay up until two or three in the morning. They mistakenly think that they will go to bed at any time as long as they sleep for eight hours. This is a big mistake. When they are sleepy, their liver and gallbladder will not be fully rested and maintained. They not only have poor sleep quality, but also have rough skin, long black spots and yellow complexion. Especially those with impaired liver function, we should pay more attention not to stay up late and should sleep in time.
At noon, the sun is the most abundant and the yin is the weakest. Take a nap at this time, especially in summer, get up early and go to bed late. How can you keep full of energy? You'd better take a nap at noon. Even if you can't sleep? Quiet? Close your eyes and let your body balance. According to statistics, sleeping at noon for the elderly can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which is of great significance for disease prevention and health care. Taking a nap is a good habit to keep healthy. Although the time is short, it can improve people's health in a short time? Energetic? Nature has benefited a lot. Especially in summer, it should be advocated.
Chinese medicine believes that health care should be paid attention to? Harmony between man and nature? That is, man and nature are interlinked, should they? The law is in yin and yang, and it is adjusted to four o'clock? . We should take yin and yang as the method and make adjustments according to the changes of yin and yang in the four seasons.
Summer is characterized by intense heat, with long days and short nights. In addition, the temperature is high and the humidity is high. People are often depressed because they don't get enough sleep at night, so will a nap help? Four pounds? The effect is that a short rest at noon can bring you plenty of energy in the afternoon.
It is advisable to take a nap for 30~50 minutes, not more than 1 hour. Too long will not only affect the sleep at night, but also make people feel groggy after waking up, which is counterproductive.
Sixth, a healthy diet is essential in summer.
From where? Harmony between man and nature? Understand life from a perspective, let the human body adapt to the changes of the four seasons, arrange a reasonable diet, ensure that the essential nutrients of the human body are absorbed in different seasons, and maintain normal physiological functions.
