Popular science answers] Dear fans, hello! Thank you very much for your trust and support. In the hot summer, people are prone to feeling irritable, which is due to the rising temperature and the exuberance of the body's yang energy, which leads to physical and psychological changes. Pranayama meditation, eliminating irritability, and maintaining physical and mental health are important for summer health. Here are some suggestions that I hope will help you.
First of all, we need to clarify the principles of summer health. Summer health preservation focuses on "clearing heat, relieving heatstroke, and dissipating dampness", and pays attention to adjusting diet, daily life, exercise and emotion to achieve the purpose of health preservation.
1. Adjust your diet.
The summer diet should be mainly light and easy to digest, and avoid foods that are too greasy and spicy. You can eat more bitter vegetables, such as bitter gourd, bitter herbs, etc., which have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, quenching heat and quenching thirst. At the same time, appropriately increasing sour foods, such as vinegar and lemon, can help quench thirst and regulate the acid-base balance in the body.
2. Proper living.
In summer, you should go to bed late and wake up early, and avoid outdoor activities during direct sun hours (10:00-16:00). Keep the room ventilated, avoid moisture, and maintain a suitable temperature. Avoid overdressing and choose clothes that are breathable and sweat-wicking.
3. Moderate exercise.
Summer sports are mainly gentle and gentle, such as walking, tai chi, yoga, etc. Avoid strenuous exercise to avoid damaging yang energy. Replenish water in time after exercise to avoid excessive sweating that leads to gas consumption and yin injury.
Fourth, the mood is aroused.
It's easy to be irritable in summer, and we need to learn to adjust our emotions and keep our minds calm. You can try to meditate, meditate, listen to ** and other ways to calm your mood and avoid mood swings.
In addition, I would like to recommend an ancient anti-heat remedy called "Five-Flavor Soup". The formula is composed of Schisandra chinensis, licorice, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos and Ze Yuan, which has the effect of clearing away heat and relieving heat, invigorating qi and dissipating dampness. You can adjust the dosage appropriately according to your own situation, and decoction and drink.
We hope you find the above tips helpful and wish you a healthy and happy summer!
