During the solar term, the temperature rises and precipitation increases. When the air humidity increases, the sweat in the body cannot diffuse smoothly. Under the heat and humidity, people will inevitably feel sleepy and sluggish in their limbs. In daily life, what special attention should be paid to the health routine and diet during the Mang Zhong solar term? Let’s take a look with me below.
Precautions for keeping in good health
1. Pay attention to replenishing water and insist on taking a lunch break
First of all, you must keep your spirit in a relaxed and happy state. In summer, when the days are long and the nights are short, taking a lunch break can help you recover from fatigue and is good for your health. During the season of Ear Grain, the weather starts to get hot, which is a season that consumes more physical energy. Pay attention to replenishing water and drink more water.
2. Pay attention to taking a bath frequently to cool down after plowing the grass.
To avoid heatstroke, bathe frequently after plowing the grass. However, one thing to note is that you should not bathe immediately when you are sweating. Medicinal baths can best achieve the purpose of fitness and disease prevention. There are various methods of medicated bathing. As a health and wellness regimen, medicated bathing is the main method. It is best to take a bath with Wuzhi Decoction (cinnamon twig, locust twig, peach twig, willow twig, and hemp twig) during the mist season. That is, first wrap the same amount of medicine in gauze, add ten times as much water as the medicine, soak for 20 minutes, and then decoct. After 30 minutes, pour the medicinal solution into the bath water and you can take a bath.
3. Ear sprouts should pay attention to a light diet
In terms of dietary maintenance, Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty advocated that people should always eat light and sweet foods, such as barley, wheat, koji, and japonica rice. Said: "Those who are good at maintaining health should always eat less meat and more rice." ?While emphasizing a clean and tonic diet, people are warned not to eat too salty or too sweet foods. Precautions for the Ear Grain Diet
Pay attention to the Mang Zhong Diet for clearing and supplementation
At this time, it is most appropriate to eat foods that can dispel heat, replenish Qi, promote body fluids and quench thirst, such as black plums, hawthorns, lemons, grapes, Strawberries, tomatoes, pineapples, mangos, kiwis, etc., because of their sour taste, can astringent sweat, stop diarrhea, remove dampness, moderate tonic, and can also prevent excessive sweating and gas consumption and yin damage.
Speaking of this, I am afraid that many people will associate "qing tonic" with "light", "qing" and "vegetarian". In fact, "qing tonic" does not mean eating only vegetarian vegetables and fruits. And so on, it is not the pursuit of an absolutely pure and vegetarian diet. In fact, "Qingbu" emphasizes nourishment, but it also has the function of relieving heat and relieving heat, so as to cope with the hot climate.
Non-vegetarian foods and supplements with clearing and tonic effects
1. American ginseng. In the hot summer, excessive sweating will deplete the body's yin and body fluids. Injury to yin will easily cause deficiency of fire, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, lethargy, upset, red tongue and red urine. American ginseng is cool and tonic, and can reduce fire, produce body fluids, and relieve troubles. tired. Take 1 to 2 grams each time and brew it with boiling water instead of tea, which is very convenient.
2. Duck meat. In the hot summer, on the basis of maintaining a reasonable mix of meat and vegetables, duck meat is the first choice for summer consumption. The biggest characteristic of duck meat is that it is neither warm nor hot, clearing away heat and removing internal heat. According to the principle of traditional Chinese medicine: "Hot is cold". It can be eaten during the season when people are prone to getting angry. It has a strong effect of nourishing yin and nourishing the stomach, strengthening the spleen and replenishing deficiency, and diuresis. , anyone with damp-heat and excessive deficiency-fire in the body is suitable to eat duck meat.
3. Fish. This season is the spawning period for large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, mackerel, Spanish mackerel, salmon and turbot. Therefore, it is the most suitable time to eat these fish.
