The sweltering heat is just right, and many people have symptoms of "heat injury" such as excessive sweating, dizziness, and gastrointestinal discomfort.
In addition, there are also various ways to "relieve the heat".
However, if the method is wrong, not only can you not go to Shu, you may also be injured.
The following countermeasures against heatstroke that subvert previous common sense will help you live a cool and healthy summer with both quality of life.
Countermeasure 1: Blow air-conditioning smartly
Chinese medicine practitioners do not advocate not to blow air-conditioning, but there should be a correct response method.
For example, patients with three highs (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia) should be careful when entering and leaving the air-conditioned room, because their blood vessels have long-term insufficient elasticity and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is huge.
Therefore, it is easy to have cerebral hemorrhage (from heat to cold, which makes blood vessels constrict too fast) due to insufficient strain, and cerebral embolism (from cold to heat, the blood vessels cannot be dilated enough).
Air-conditioned rooms need to pay attention to:
1. The temperature is set at about 26~27 degrees Celsius (a fan can be used to maintain a constant temperature).
2. If the office air conditioner is set to a very low temperature and the cold is trapped in the body, it will cause air-conditioning. It is best to drink more hot water and raise the body temperature to avoid dehydration.
3. Put a basin of water indoors,In order to prevent the human body from being "dehydrated" unknowingly in the air-conditioning system, and to change the water every day, so as not to leave it for too long and easy to breed bacteria.
4. Avoid exercising in air-conditioned rooms. Exercising in an air-conditioned room, sweating profusely, and opening the pores can easily introduce wind and cold (evil) into the body and cause a cold.
is best to choose before going to work (about 6 in the morning), or after get off work (about 5 or 6 in the evening), when the sun is not in direct sunlight and the weather is not too hot, exercise a little to make your body sweat slightly Just fine.
It is best to only walk in the park, not suitable for very vigorous and sweaty sports.
5. However, Chinese medicine practitioners have repeatedly reminded that it is best not to blow the air-conditioning for too long, otherwise sweat glands regulation may cause problems.
When you suddenly go outside in the heat, your body cannot wick away perspiration and dissipate heat, which may lead to heatstroke.
6. In order to wake up the normal operation of central nervous system , office workers who often stay in air-conditioned rooms should stand up and move frequently, and do not frequently enter and exit between air-conditioned rooms and non-air-conditioned rooms.
People who are not prone to sweating can eat some ginger, or add scallions and boil water together to make the body's regulation normal.
Countermeasure 2: Eat the right time and method
There are also people talking about what to eat to reduce the heat.
Doctor suggested that as long as you eat more cold fruits and reduce energy, the human body will naturally feel cold.
Take some prescriptions that nourish yin, so that the "yin fluid" in the body is enough, not afraid of being "evaporated", but can feel "not afraid of heat".
Should I eat ice?
In fact, Chinese medicine does not tell everyone to completely avoid food, but depends on the time, place and method.
For example, during an emergency, such as wheezing or coughing, it is best not to eat ice.
It depends on the way of eating.
proposes "ice in the mouth" because the ice melts slowly and the temperature will not cool too fast, and it will last longer.
And before eating ice, you can take some ginger slices to protect the stomach wall of .
The external environmental factors should also be considered. If it is outdoors on a hot day, you can drink more cold water that has been deiced and adjust the temperature so that the body reaches a constant temperature.
If you stay in an air-conditioned room, it is not suitable to eat cold food.
There are more problems with ice cream. Although it will temporarily cool the throat and esophagus, it needs to consume more energy in the body to metabolize high sugar, which is very bad.
Time must also be paid attention to.
People who want to eat ice but do not want to burden their bodies can choose to eat it at noon.
Countermeasure 3: Heatstroke prevention, also "dehumidify"
If you don't wipe dry immediately after sweating, it will stay on the body surface and form "damp evil", which prevents sweat from draining out of the skin. It feels hotter.
If you eat too much cold and cold food, it will affect the normal functioning of the stomach and intestines, making the moisture in the body more humid.
Therefore, in summer, we should not only prevent heatstroke, but also pay attention to "dehumidification".
Countermeasure 4: Relieve heat and nourish the heart
The "heart" in TCM theory is in charge of the central nervous system, cardiovascular and emotional systems. The scope of discussion is more than that discussed in Western medicine theory. Big.
Chinese medicine says that "the heart governs the spirit" is emotional control, so the mind will naturally cool down.
However, in the hot summer days, relying on "mind calmness" may not be effective because the temperature can make you uncomfortable or irritating.
Therefore, the first step to nourish the mind is to "enough yin fluid." No matter how the external heat changes, the mind can easily calm down.
Another level of nourishing the heart is to avoid the occurrence of " deficiency of heart yang " and "deficiency of heart qi".
The theory of traditional Chinese medicine believes that "sweat is the fluid of the heart". If you sweat a lot, it is easy to hurt the "heart-qi" and cause the phenomenon of "heart-qi deficiency".
At this time, you can eat more prescriptions or medicinal materials that "tonify qi and nourish yin".
is like a Shengmai drink with the functions of nourishing qi, nourishing body fluid, nourishing yin and antiperspirant ( Codonopsis, American ginseng or Polygonatum, Ophiomendon ) But it is not suitable for eating ginseng.

▼Mung beans are boiled and broken,If you can’t cool off the heat, you may even get angry.
mung bean water is a good heat-clearing drink. It has the effects of cooling, quenching thirst and reducing fire.
However, the mung bean skin does not break before it has the effect of "clearing heat"; once the skin is boiled, the effect will be lost.
