Second, the misunderstanding of heat preservation

Summer is the season when the yang grows and the yin disappears, and it is the best time to replenish the yang. However, many people use "cool" to resist "hot", which often leads to the invasion of cold evil into the body, leaving the root cause of autumn and winter. For example, the following ways are the most common summer heat misunderstandings.

1. Eat a lot of cold food

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the yang in the human body tends to diverge outward in summer, and the yang in the body is relatively insufficient compared with other periods. If you eat too much cold food at this time, it will cause serious damage to people's yang. I would like to remind you that too much cold food makes the body gather too much cold, which easily leads to illness in autumn and winter.

2. Rest is too cold.

On summer nights, many people stroll around the street with bare arms, sleep all night with the air conditioner on, and even spread a mat on the ground. These behaviors can easily lead to cold in the body and damage the yang.

3. Take a bath immediately after exercise

Chinese medicine reminds that it takes a process for the human body to adapt to temperature. It will stimulate the human body from high temperature to low temperature, not to mention taking a bath with cold water. Punching or even kicking with cold water after exercise will let wet cold enter the body. In addition, don't blow the air conditioner immediately after exercise, because doing so will also aggravate the dampness and coldness in the body.

Three, summer high temperature health care methods

"As far as health is concerned, Chinese medicine should be consistent with the seasons. It gets hot in summer. If it is sweating, it is sweating. " Traditional Chinese medicine suggests following the law of yang growth and adopting the method of "heat nourishing" to attack heat with heat.

Eat more "warm food". As the saying goes, "Eating radish in winter and ginger in summer does not require a doctor's prescription". Zibo Institute of Difficult Diseases of Ancient Chinese Medicine suggested that ginger and other foods should be used to warm the middle and dispel the cold in summer, and it would be better to brew ginger and brown sugar together. Drink less cold drinks and more hot tea. "Hot tea is good for sweat glands to sweat and can achieve the effect of heat dissipation. Moreover, tea can improve the transport ability of the spleen and stomach and send water to the whole body. "

Soak your feet in hot water. Feet are the second heart of human body, and soaking feet with hot water can supply energy for them. Chinese medicine means "heat promotes blood circulation and cold coagulates blood". Soaking feet with hot water can make blood flow smoothly, increase the blood flow rate and volume of feet, enhance metabolism and eliminate toxins in the body.

Take a hot bath. Bathing or steaming with hot water can expand the capillaries of the body, which is beneficial to the body's heat and detoxification and can replenish yang. "Don't stay in a closed air-conditioned room for a long time, which will do the most harm to the yang." Chinese medicine reminds.

Exercise more. Summer exercise helps to sweat, accelerate metabolism in the body, enhance heat adaptation and improve body temperature regulation. It is best to start exercising in the morning, because the body's yang is weak in the morning, and then exercise can supplement the yang. You should also choose an appropriate exercise mode according to your own physique.
