Summer solstice time in 2020: 05:43:33 on June 2, 20201day, and the first day of the lunar calendar in May, 2020.
June 2 1 day or 22/year is the summer solstice day. 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. In ancient times, the heart also called this day the northern solstice, meaning that the sun was born to the northernmost day. After the summer solstice, the sun gradually moved south, and the days in the northern hemisphere became shorter and the nights became longer.
Story of the summer solstice
Dou refers to B as the summer solstice, where everything is false and extreme, and summer is coming, hence the name.
Three phases of summer solstice
Wait for the antlers to untie, wait for the antlers to sing, and wait for Pinellia ternata to grow.
The summer solstice is the tenth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the Chinese lunar calendar. Every year on June 2 1 day or 22nd of the Gregorian calendar, the sun will move to 90 degrees of the yellow longitude, and this is the beginning of the summer solstice.
On the summer solstice, twenty-four solar term wrote: "Summer is a holiday, and it's an extreme. Everything here is false and extreme. " On the summer solstice, the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Cancer, which is the northernmost position of the year when the sun shines directly on the ground. On this day, the days in the northern hemisphere are the longest and the nights are the shortest. After the summer solstice, the days will be shortened and the nights will be prolonged. "Eating noodles on the summer solstice makes a thread shorter a day" refers to such a phenomenon.
Although before and after the summer solstice, many places are very hot, the temperature reaches above 30, and the yang is very strong, but it should be noted that the yin qi also begins to grow at this time. The so-called "summer solstice brings yin", and the appearance of yin will bring many diseases, so we should not take it lightly and pay attention to proper health care.
What is good to eat on the summer solstice?
1, the diet should be light, eat more miscellaneous grains, eat more fresh vegetables, hot summer fruits and some foods that can relieve summer heat, invigorate qi, promote fluid production and quench thirst, such as tomatoes, watermelons, bayberries, melons, strawberries, peaches, plums, noodles, mung beans, adzuki beans, Chinese cabbage, celery, loofah, mung bean sprouts, wax gourd, carrots, bitter gourd and pork. Tomatoes, watermelons, waxberries, melons, strawberries, peaches and plums, noodles, mung beans, red beans, Chinese cabbage and celery. Luffa, mung bean sprouts, winter melon, carrot, bitter gourd, pork, chicken, duck, rabbit, crucian carp, jujube and ebony. 2. Eat a little more, chew slowly, not too full. Because the summer climate is hot, people's digestive function is relatively weak, so it is necessary to adapt to the time. 3. Because with the coming of this high temperature season, the metabolism of human body is more vigorous, it will sweat a lot, consume gas and hurt body fluids, and it is easy to get heatstroke, so lotus leaf, coix seed, lentil, lotus seed, lily, Polygonatum odoratum, Adenophora, Dioscorea opposita, Ophiopogon japonicus, Asparagus and so on can be used more in Chinese herbal medicines. Lotus leaf, barley, lentils, lotus seeds, lily, Yuzhu, Shashen, yam, Ophiopogon japonicus and asparagus.
1, it is not advisable to eat too much fat and sweet, so as not to turn heat into wind and stimulate the disease of furuncle. 2. Do not overeat hot food, such as pepper, pepper, raw onion, raw garlic, ginger, mustard, fennel, cinnamon, etc., so as not to help heat the fire. Pepper, pepper, green onion, garlic, ginger, mustard and anise seed cinnamon 3. Do not overeat cold fruits, ice cream and frozen drinks, so as not to damage the spleen and stomach and affect the digestive function of the body. Frozen drinks ◎ slightly sour, antiperspirant and exterior consolidation.
Because the summer solstice sweats more, the loss of salt is greater, and electrolytes such as sodium in the body will also be lost. Therefore, in addition to supplementing salt, you need to use some foods with sour taste.
Traditional Chinese medicine theory holds that more foods with sour taste should be eaten before and after the summer solstice to achieve the effect of consolidating the exterior and stopping sweating. There is such a description in the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic Su Wen, "The heart governs summer, and the heart is bitter and slow, and it is urgent to eat acid to collect it." That is to say, the acidic foods that need to be eaten in summer are Cornus officinalis, Schisandra chinensis, gallnut, ebony, etc. These foods can not only produce saliva, remove fishy smell and relieve boredom, but also increase appetite.
◎ Cold noodles for heatstroke prevention and health protection
The arrival of the summer solstice means the beginning of hot summer, and people in many places will choose to eat cold noodles to relieve the heat. Southerners generally eat sesame oil mixed noodles, Yangchun noodles and crossing the bridge deck, while northerners mainly eat noodles with gravy and Zhajiang Noodles.
Cold noodles have the effects of heatstroke prevention, cooling and hunger relief, and are rich in essential nutrients such as starch, crude fiber and vitamins, which are very beneficial to the human body. However, it should be noted that the content of protein in cold noodles is less, so some meat, bean products, eggs and so on should be properly matched.
◎ Pay attention to hygiene and prevent "disease from entering the mouth"
Around the summer solstice, all kinds of pathogenic microorganisms grow and reproduce relatively fast, so food is very easy to rot and deteriorate. In addition, at this time, the defense ability of human intestine becomes weak, and it is very vulnerable to bacterial invasion, so the phenomenon of disease from mouth to mouth occurs from time to time.
Pay attention to the following points in diet: try not to leave leftovers; Avoid excessive consumption of cold drinks; Do not eat expired, unmarked and damaged food; Do not eat or eat less mala Tang, cold dishes or cooked food sold by roadside stalls; Do not eat raw and pickled aquatic products; Eat more "sterilized" vegetables, such as garlic, onion, green onion, leek, green garlic and garlic seedlings.

Summer solstice health care is fundamental ● Pay attention to sweating and beware of "sadness"
During the summer solstice, due to the increasingly hot weather, it is normal for the human body to sweat properly. But not all sweating is normal, such as hyperhidrosis, spontaneous sweating, night sweats, yellow sweats, blood and sweat, etc., which are externalized features of some diseases.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sweat is excreted from the body surface by the evaporation of body fluid by yang and sweat glands. Body fluid and blood are both transformed by Shui Gu's essence, so there is a saying that "blood and sweat are homologous". Because the heart governs blood, there is a saying that "sweat is the liquid of the heart".
Excessive sweat secretion will consume the essence and hurt the hard work. The deficiency of heart qi is the direct cause of spontaneous sweating. If you are too angry, you may sweat profusely. Summer belongs to fire among the five elements, and fire is related to yang. In the scorching summer, yang is very strong, which is easy to disturb the mind and cause heart disease.
The weather is hot in the summer solstice, so we must pay attention to the sweating situation at this time. If we find anything unusual, we should seek medical advice in time, reduce the frequency of activities appropriately, avoid working at high temperature, and pay attention to choosing some food with peace of mind, such as lotus seeds and lilies, in order to spend the summer safely. In addition, those who sweat too much should pay special attention to changing sweaty clothes in time, and take a bath with warm water, and do not rinse with cold water. Don't enter the air-conditioned room directly after sweating heavily, but dry it with a towel first.
● Prevention and treatment of summer heat injury to Yang
The summer solstice is the most vigorous time of the year. The continuous high temperature makes the qi and blood of the human body run more vigorously, which leads to the excretion of sweat and loss. At the same time, the aggregate surface of yang in summer is also easy to be lost, so it is necessary to protect yang while maintaining yin and body fluid.
The loss of yang in summer is mainly due to the following four reasons: the first is summer heat. The exuberance of yang is easy to hurt yin, while yin and body fluid will be lost with the discharge of sweat at the same time, but yin will not converge yang; The second is heavy moisture. Moisture is very easy to damage the yang, thus damaging the spleen and stomach; The third is carelessness in daily life. If you spend the night in the open air, the wind-cold qi may invade the human body and cause the yang in the human body to be damaged; The fourth is improper diet. Because of the hot climate, people like to drink some cold drinks, and the result of gluttony for cold drinks will damage the yang, which will lead to diseases.
As recorded in Eight Notes on Zunsheng, "Yang must be stopped in order to relieve summer heat". The maintenance of Yang in summer is conducive to eliminating summer heat, enhancing resistance at the same time, and avoiding recurrent diseases such as chronic bronchitis and asthma due to insufficient Yang in winter. Raise yang in summer solstice, avoid being too greedy and cool, and blow less air conditioning. You can eat some seasonal fruits to cool off the heat, such as watermelon and melon.
Summer solstice daily life ● Take a bath in warm water to relieve summer heat and prevent malnutrition.
After the summer solstice, the human body will secrete more sweat. The main component of sweat is water, accounting for about 98%-99%. In addition, it also contains organic substances such as urea and lactic acid and inorganic substances such as sodium chloride, calcium and magnesium. These chemical components are equivalent to those in urine. If the water evaporates, these inorganic and organic substances will still stay on the skin, which may lead to prickly heat and even dermatitis.
The easiest way to remove the dirt left on the skin surface is to take a bath. Because of the hot weather, it is recommended to wash it once every morning and evening. Use warm water instead of cold water. Because cold water can stimulate pores, make capillaries contract, and affect the emission of internal heat and the discharge of body toxins. Warm water can dilate blood vessels on the body surface, promote blood circulation, improve skin condition, eliminate fatigue and enhance immunity.
When bathing in summer, the water temperature should be 38-42. If it is too hot, the human body will be unbearable, and the water with too high temperature will make the skin lose water, make the skin dry, and even cause microvascular burst. Controlling the bath water temperature to be slightly higher than the human body temperature can not only wash the waste in sweat, but also eliminate the fatigue of the day.
● Sleep on a mat and be careful of getting into skin diseases.
Many people like to sleep on a mat to spend the hot summer days, but after some people sleep on a mat, many small red pimples appear on their skin, which is a typical symptom of mite skin inflammation caused by mite bites.
During the hot summer, the human body will excrete a lot of sweat, and dander, dust, etc. are easily mixed in the sweat and dripped between the gaps of the mat, creating a breeding ground for mites. Therefore, summer mats must be cleaned regularly, scrubbed repeatedly with hot water first, and then exposed to the sun for several hours. Only in this way can mites and eggs invisible to the naked eye be wiped out. After the summer mat is used up, you can also use this method to clean it and save it, and then put some moth-proof and mildew-proof products to prevent the emergence of mites. If mites are found to have settled in the mat, you can break the moth balls, sprinkle them evenly on the mat surface, roll up the mat, clean up the moth balls after one hour, scrub them with clean water, and finally expose them to the sun.
When choosing a mat, if you are allergic to grass and reed mats, you can choose a mat made of bamboo or vines. Most of the symptoms of allergies are reddish pimples the size of beans, which are extremely itchy. This allergy belongs to a kind of contact skin disease.
The summer solstice is good for health ◎ When the summer solstice comes, beware of emotional "poisoning".
After the summer solstice, China has entered the hottest period of the year, that is, midsummer. Therefore, it is particularly important to prevent heatstroke. For heatstroke, we should not only prevent it physically, but also pay attention to it psychologically.
Due to the sudden rise of temperature, the emotional condition center of human hypothalamus will be affected by temperature, which will make the human body have an anxious reaction. Some people may not be in a very hot environment, but under the influence of strong light outside the window, they may also feel irritable. In addition, emotions may also be related to the increase of sweat excretion, insufficient sleep and diet, etc. These activities may affect the electrolyte metabolism of the human body and the neurological function of the brain, thus further affecting people's emotions and actions. Therefore, we should guard against emotional "heatstroke" in midsummer.
If the person around you becomes angry, depressed, inefficient, depressed, confused, forgetful, abnormal or stubbornly repeating bathing, washing face and washing hands, he/she is likely to have emotional "heatstroke".
Here are some tips to prevent emotional "heatstroke":
First of all, arrange your life reasonably and conform to the characteristics of long days and short nights. Work and rest should be regular, and you can take a nap to ensure sleep time; The living room should pay attention to ventilation, don't stay in a closed room for a long time, consciously keep the room clean and tidy, and don't make the house too messy, which is easy to make people feel depressed.
Second, eliminate bad emotions. When there is a bad mood, we should choose the right way to solve it. For example, divert your attention in time, listen to relaxing music, and imagine some cool pictures, such as morning fog, waterfalls and the sea. Or find something that interests you.
Third, keep your diet light. Eat less greasy, spicy food, eat more food to remove fire, drink less or no hard liquor and drink more water to improve blood circulation.
Finally, maintain a peaceful mind. As the saying goes, "peace of mind is naturally cool." While taking various measures to prevent heatstroke and cool down, we should pay more attention to maintaining a peaceful state of mind. According to medical research, when people maintain a tolerant and calm attitude, the secretion of adrenaline in the body will be significantly reduced, and naturally they will not feel so hot.
Exercise for health in summer solstice ◎ Swimming is the best way to keep fit in summer solstice.
In hot summer, the best way to exercise is swimming. Compared with other sports, swimming exercise is more valuable.
First of all, because water has buoyancy, all joints of the body, such as shoulder joints and knee joints, can be completely relaxed without being affected by the gravity of the body in water.
Secondly, when people swim, all organs participate in sports, which consumes a lot of energy, circulates blood faster, and gets more nutrients for body organs. At the same time, the heartbeat frequency will also accelerate, making the heart contract strongly. So people who swim often have good heart function.
Thirdly, the effect of losing weight by swimming is very significant. Because the human body consumes more energy than other projects when it is useful, someone once did a study that swimming for 60 minutes would reduce the body weight by 250-350 grams. Finally, swimming can also promote intellectual development. Because of the flowing characteristics of water, swimming needs to master very special and subtle movements. The process of groping for skills is actually a process of full coordination between the nervous system and muscles. In this process, some benign stimulation will be produced to the nervous system. Therefore, it will be of great benefit to health to insist on exercising through swimming.
◎ Timely hydration is very important.
In the hot summer season, a large amount of sweat will cause dehydration of the body, affecting physiological function and exercise state. Studies have shown that if the amount of dehydration reaches 2% of body weight, the heat resistance of the body will be affected; When dehydration reaches 4%, it will affect muscle endurance; When dehydration reaches 10%, it will affect the coordination ability and even make muscles spasm; The most serious situation of dehydration is to make the body temperature rise, circulatory failure, and even death. In the process of exercise, pay attention to the following items when replenishing water:
First, the temperature of drinking water should be appropriate. It is best to control the water temperature at 8℃-14℃, because water at this temperature can quickly pass through the stomach.
Second, drink some water before exercise. You can drink10-15 minutes before exercise.
Third, hydration should follow the principle of drinking a little more. It is best to drink 1 time for 20-30 minutes during exercise, and drink150-200ml each time.
Fourth, add light salt water. If you lose more water and salt after exercise, you can drink some light salt water, or put a little more salt in the soup when you eat.
Intimate reminder:
Although swimming has many benefits, we should also pay attention to the following matters when swimming: first, it is not advisable to swim on an empty stomach, full food or after drinking; Secondly, it is not suitable to swim when you are sick, unwell or weak; Thirdly, it is not suitable to swim in the case of thunderstorm, too much wind and waves or poor lighting; Also, some simple warm-up exercises should be done properly before going into the water to avoid convulsions; Finally, it is best for beginners not to stay in the water for too long, and it is generally controlled at about 30 minutes.
Strengthen finger exercises.
Efficacy makes fingers move freely, increases grip strength, and has a good reflex stimulation effect on the heart, thus enhancing heart function.
way
Open your hands at the same time, and your fingers will straighten naturally. Starting from your thumb, press the order of index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger in turn. When you bend one finger hard, the other fingers will still straighten, so as to bend and straighten in turn. Go back and forth. When exercising, practice with both hands at the same time, and bend your fingers as hard as possible.
remind
Each exercise is not limited by time and frequency, and can be done according to your own situation, so as to produce a sense of pain.
