1, summer health tips
1, precautions for skin itching
When traveling in summer, when the skin is itchy and dry due to sun exposure, you can apply a small amount of ointment such as Fusong, and do not use hot water for scalding, nor should you use alkaline soap for cleaning, so as not to irritate the skin and aggravate the symptoms.
2. Supplement salt, potassium and vitamins.
Sweating in summer is more, and there are more potassium ions lost with sweat, resulting in hypokalemia, which will cause symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, headache and loss of appetite. The most effective way to prevent potassium deficiency in hot weather is to eat more foods containing potassium. Fresh vegetables and fruits contain more potassium, and you can eat more strawberries, apricots, lychees, peaches and plums. Vegetables include green onions, celery and edamame, and are also rich in potassium. Tea also contains more potassium. Drinking more tea in hot days can not only relieve summer heat, but also supplement potassium, which can kill two birds with one stone.
The human body sweats a lot in summer, and sodium chloride loses a lot, so we should pay attention to supplementing salt while supplementing water. Drink some salty boiled water every day to keep the acid-base balance and osmotic pressure in the body relatively stable.
Nutritionists also suggest that it is best to supplement vitamin B 1, vitamin B2 2 mg and calcium 1 g every day in high temperature season, which can reduce the consumption of sugar and tissue protein in the body and is beneficial to human health. Therefore, you should eat more foods rich in the above nutrients in summer, such as watermelon, cucumber, tomato, beans and their products, animal liver, shrimp skin, etc., and you can also drink some fruit juice.
3. Try to wear light clothes.
Dark clothes will absorb sunlight, making people's body temperature rise and dry; At the same time, mosquitoes have the habit of darkening, and dark colors are easy to attract mosquitoes, especially black.
4, summer water loss, should drink more water.
Water is an indispensable part of the human body, which plays a vital role in the human body and maintains the normal physiological functions of the human body. Organs, muscles, blood, hair, bones and teeth all contain water, and there will be more water loss in summer. If water is not replenished in time, it will seriously affect health, make skin dry, increase wrinkles and accelerate human aging. In addition, mineral water, Leng Cha, milk and apple juice are ideal thirst-quenching drinks.
5. Live in time
In summer, you should go to bed late and get up early, and take a nap as much as possible at noon. Remember not to sit, lie or sleep for a long time in the corridor, under the eaves or in the shade of the vents. It is not advisable to use the electric fan for a long time, because it is steaming outside in summer heat, sweating heavily, and the pores are wide open, which is easy to be attacked by cold. If it is blown for a long time, it may cause headache, lumbar muscle strain, facial paralysis or muscle pain.
6, health care to raise Yang
In hot summer, many people will suffer from air-conditioning disease. People turn on the air conditioner all day and night, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor can reach more than ten degrees. In addition, a large number of cold drinks with ice will definitely hurt the yang. Therefore, we should pay attention to the living environment not to be too humid, not to eat too much frozen and cold food, not to turn the temperature of the air conditioner too low at night, preferably above 26 degrees, and not to spend the night in the open air and cold places.
7, diet tonic, suffer more.

8. Do some heart-nourishing exercises.
