For the human body, summer is a period of vigorous Qi and blood circulation and metabolism. On the beginning of summer, listen to Wang Zhongxia, Deputy Chief Physician of the Nutrition Department of the Fifth Medical Center of the People's Liberation Army General Hospital, bringing us summer health tips. As soon as the beginning of summer passes, the weather becomes clear and warm, gradually getting hotter. Many people feel physically exhausted and their appetite decreases, which is called "delaying summer". If you overeat fatty, glycerin rich, and tonifying foods, it can trap the stomach and damage the spleen, affecting digestion and absorption, including eating less raw and cold food, drinking less cold drinks, especially ice cream and other ice products. Wang Zhongxia said that the digestion and absorption ability of the spleen and stomach in the elderly has gradually declined, and the digestive function of children is not yet full. Raw and cold foods are mostly cold, and frequent consumption can easily affect the function of the spleen and stomach, leading to diarrhea and abdominal pain. In hot summer weather, sweat increases. If the yang qi is released too much with sweat, it can lead to the deficiency of yang qi in the body. Alternatively, excessive air conditioning or eating cold drinks can cause excessive cold and dampness in the body, which can suppress yang qi. In hot summer weather, food is prone to decay and spoilage, so it is important to control the "disease entering through the mouth". Wang Zhongxia reminds us to avoid consuming food that has deteriorated or been contaminated by flies and cockroaches; Adhere to washing hands before and after meals; Eating raw fruits and melons requires washing them with running water several times or peeling them before eating, in order to prevent common summer intestinal infections such as bacterial dysentery. This season, the meridians and blood flow of the human body are smooth, making it a great time for acupoint massage and moxibustion. You can choose acupoints such as Guanyuan, Zhongwan, Dazhui, Pishu, Shenshu, Mingmen, Zhiyang, Zusanli, and Sanyinjiao, which are beneficial for supplementing yang qi, "said Wang Zhongxia. Moderate exercise also helps to expel moisture from the body. Wang Zhongxia suggests avoiding exercising in scorching sun or high temperature environments. It is best to engage in outdoor activities in the morning or evening when the weather is cool. When exercising, you should wear comfortable, sweat-absorbing, and breathable clothing to facilitate heat dissipation and pay attention to hydration. (Outlook New Era Network)
