The human body is delicate and has a precise circulation mechanism. It absorbs food, discharges waste, and absorbs nutrients to provide energy to the body during the circulation process. If there is "blocking", all kinds of problems will come.
China's traditional Chinese medicine regimen stresses the word "tong". In summer, it is also natural to put the word first. Among them, perspiration, urination and defecation are the most important.
Sweat-promoting glands: exercise more and often soak feet
Sweat contains more than 100 human metabolic substances such as urea, sulfur and lactic acid. Frequent sweating is beneficial to dredge blood vessels and microcirculation, and remove pore garbage. But because people stay in air-conditioned rooms for a long time in summer, the sweat glands of modern people are often blocked.
Therefore, we should pay attention that it is not suitable to stay in the air-conditioned room for too long in summer, and maintain proper exercise so that sweat can be discharged and sweat glands can be kept smooth. In addition, besides exercise, the most convenient way to sweat is to soak your feet. Sticking to warm water and soaking feet can help remove heat and dampness. If it can be combined with body conditioning, it can prevent autumn dryness from hurting yin and lung, and promote blood circulation.
At the same time, the feet should be soaked for 20-30 minutes with slight sweating. After soaking feet, apply moisturizer to prevent dry and cracked feet. In addition, don't soak your feet immediately after meals to avoid affecting digestion. People with burns, pustules, chickenpox, measles or foot injuries are not suitable for foot soaking.
Urination: low salt water, lotus tea
Some middle-aged and elderly people are prone to urination disadvantage due to weak spleen and kidney. However, the water evaporates after sweating in summer, and it is easy to cause urinary system infection if urination is unfavorable. To prevent urinary system infection, the most important thing is to drink more water, which can be supplemented with a small amount of salt.
In addition, mung bean soup, lotus seed soup and watermelon are also healthy drinks that can pass urine. You can go to the supermarket to buy some lotus seeds, and take one or two boiled water every day to make tea. If you feel bitter, you can also add some rock sugar.
Mung bean is cool and sweet in nature, and has the effect of clearing heat, detoxifying and dispelling fire. It is also a representative food with the same origin of medicine and food. Boiling soup or mung bean syrup can also play a role in reducing heat.
Defecation: drink scented tea to prevent bad breath
Falling in love with fire in summer can easily lead to obstructed defecation, which will make the toxins metabolized in the liver and intestines accumulate in the body, and easily lead to toothache, bad breath and a lot of bad breath, often embarrassing.
For those who are prone to fever, constipation and bad breath, try Chinese herbal tea. Drink with chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, American ginseng, Dendrobium candidum, American ginseng and other food ingredients with the same origin of medicine and food, which can reduce fire and eliminate bad breath.
Of course, eating more fresh vegetables will also help. For example, celery can clear heat and detoxify, which is very beneficial for people with strong liver and rough skin. It also contains a large amount of crude fiber, which can stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis. Pear is a well-known fruit for reducing fire. Other fruits such as balsam pear, horseshoe, lotus root, etc. are also good vegetables and fruits for reducing fire in summer.
From the perspective of health preservation, traditional Chinese medicine advocates "nourishing yang in spring and summer", which suggests that we should "heat health preservation". Heat can be used to control heat, which can sweat and cool down, and also can supplement yang.
