Today's summer solstice, the yellow meridian of the sun is 90. When the sun is at 90 "Summer Solstice Point" of the Huangjing, the sun shines almost directly over the Tropic of Cancer, and the sun is the highest in the northern hemisphere at noon. This day is the longest day and the shortest night in the northern hemisphere. From this day on, it enters the hot season, and everything in the world grows most vigorously at this time. Shortly after the summer solstice, the hottest time of the year comes immediately. People feel tired, hot, palpitations and shortness of breath, and their appetite will also drop significantly, because summer heat will hurt the spleen and stomach. Below, let's learn the key points of summer solstice health care with you. Summer is a good time to nourish bones. Wang Changyong, vice president of Guancheng Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Zhengzhou City and chief expert of orthopedics and traumatology, pointed out that although it is hot in summer, it causes a lot of trouble to daily life, but it is very beneficial to the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. First of all, in summer, there is not only plenty of sunshine, but also less clothes, and the skin area is large. After the skin is irradiated by sunlight, it can produce more active vitamin D, which is beneficial to the absorption of calcium. In addition, there are more outdoor activities in summer, and adequate activities and exercises can increase the elasticity and toughness of bones and improve or alleviate the symptoms of osteoporosis. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people should seize the good opportunity of "nourishing bones" in summer. Tips for "nourishing bones" in summer 1 Make sure to drink a glass of milk every day, drink more bone soup and shrimp skin and winter melon soup, and eat more dark green vegetables rich in calcium, so as to promote the absorption of calcium under the condition of sufficient active vitamin D. Appropriate outdoor activities can promote the absorption of calcium by bones and increase the elasticity and toughness of bones. Dean Wang Changyong suggested that it is best to insist on outdoor activities for more than 30 minutes every day. The time should be chosen before 10 am and after 4 pm every day to prevent heatstroke, and you should wear half-sleeved shirts and shorts when you are active, so that the sun can shine directly on the joints. 3 Eat pig's trotters and drink less. Middle-aged and elderly people can often eat some tendons and skin, and take in some collagen, thus increasing the toughness of bones. At the same time, summer is also the golden season for drinking beer, especially for young people. Excessive drinking is one of the causes of osteoporosis, especially beer and liquor, which can inhibit bone growth factor and accelerate the loss of calcium in bone. 4 Correct treatment For some patients with severe osteoporosis, in addition to diet and proper exercise, they should go to the hospital for regular treatment to avoid blindly taking calcium tablets and health care products, and take them under the guidance of the best doctors. Finally, Dean Wang Changyong reminded that many osteopathy are caused by years of accumulation of cold and dampness. However, due to the high temperature and smooth qi and blood in summer, the symptoms disappeared and the pain stopped. But this is only the incubation period of osteopathy. Once the temperature drops, all symptoms will follow, or even worsen. Therefore, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, we should do a good job of "nourishing bones".
