Today, we welcome the summer solstice solar term. The summer solstice is the tenth solar term among the 24 solar terms, and it is also the earliest confirmed solar term among the 24 solar terms. The summer solstice is the starting point of midsummer. What are some health tips to pay attention to during the scorching summer? Zhang Daopei, the Chief physician of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine, told people.com.cn that the summer solstice is the most prosperous time of the year, when the human body's yang also enters the peak stage. The Huangdi Neijing has the principle of "Yang in spring and summer, Yin in autumn and winter". Therefore, during health preservation, attention should be paid to protecting yang qi. Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that yang qi is the driving force behind the functional activities of organs and tissues. If internal organs lack power, the human body will experience insufficient yang qi and symptoms such as fatigue, fatigue, headache, dizziness, and even dizziness. "Zhang Daopei said. Zhang Daopei said that during the summer solstice, do not blow the air conditioning for a long time. Long term blowing of air conditioning and fans can cause cold air to condense in the body, hindering the movement of qi and blood in the body. The temperature of the air conditioner should not be too low. It is advisable to keep the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor areas not exceeding 7 degrees Celsius. It is advisable to use the timer function at night and not blow it all night. At the same time, do not be greedy for raw and cold food. Eating too many cold drinks not only fails to relieve heat, but can also lead to health problems. In summer, the yang qi in the human body tends to spread outward. If too much raw and cold food is consumed, it will seriously deplete the yang qi and easily lead to gastrointestinal problems. Zhang Daopei also pointed out that high summer temperatures can cause the body to sweat and cause a significant loss of water in the body, which can lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain and lead to symptoms such as headaches and dizziness. Adequate drinking water is necessary for this. (Reporter Yan Yan)
