In the hot summer, the sun is blazing like fire, as if it can pour all the heat into the world. At this time, the human body's yang is strong, the pores are wide open, and sweat is flowing freely. However, keeping in good health in summer is not simply waiting for the cool autumn wind. It is a subtle dialogue with natural rhythm and a delicate listening to physical needs.
In this season, heatstroke prevention and cooling is the primary task. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is like a hidden trap. If the cold air of air conditioner is allowed to invade wantonly, it will easily lead to the modern version of "cold into the body". It is advisable to adjust the indoor temperature to a suitable 26℃, which does not violate the principle of energy saving, but also allows the body to make a smooth transition when entering and leaving. In outdoor activities, sun hats and cool sun protection clothes are like intimate guardians of the body, which can not only resist the invasion of ultraviolet rays, but also avoid exposure to the hot sun. In the evening, a cool warm bath is like a gentle baptism for the body, which can not only relieve the fatigue of the day, but also prevent the moisture trapped at night due to pore closure.
Summer diet is like a symphony with nature. The sweet melody of mung bean soup and barley water swirls on the tip of the tongue, while the sweet and bitter rhythm of watermelon and bitter gourd brings a different experience to the taste buds. In this season, food for clearing away heat and relieving summer heat is no longer just an ornament on the table, but an important member of maintaining body balance. Water, as the source of life, is particularly important in summer. It is like a stream in the body, silently nourishing every cell. Warm water in the morning wakes up the sleeping stomach, and replenishing water after exercise is like injecting vitality into tired muscles, but it should be remembered that quickly replenishing water in large quantities is like dumping floods on dry land, but it will cause physical discomfort.
The law of work and rest is like a melodious serenade in summer, which softly calls for people to go to bed early and get up early and conform to the laws of nature. However, in this era of staying up late culture, it is normal for many people to stay on the screen until late at night. Staying up late is like cutting a gap in the dam of the body, so that health is gradually lost. However, it is not easy to change this habit. Scientific advice is to turn off electronic devices one hour before going to sleep and let the brain gradually relax under soft light. A soothing piece of music, a fascinating book, or an incense lamp are all good helpers to help you fall asleep. When the body adapts to the new rhythm of work and rest, falling asleep is no longer an extravagant hope, but a natural return.
Sports, the energetic notes of this summer, are played at dawn or sunset. It reminds people that life lies in exercise, and exercise needs wisdom. Warm-up before exercise is a preparation song for the body, which wakes the muscles and joints from a deep sleep and prepares them for the upcoming exercise. Drinking a proper amount of water during exercise is like refueling a running machine in time to avoid the failure of the body due to lack of water. Relaxation and stretching after exercise is a lullaby played for the body, which helps the muscles relax and reduce the pain after exercise.
The way of keeping in good health in summer is like a journey of dancing in harmony with nature. In the wisdom of heatstroke prevention and cooling, we learn to coexist peacefully with the outside temperature; In the rhythm of diet, we feel the nourishment and balance brought by food; In the law of work and rest, we listen to the rhythm of the body and synchronize with the rhythm of nature; In the vitality of exercise, we release the energy of the body and embrace a healthy life. This is a journey without an end. Every adjustment and adaptation is to find your own coolness and peace in the warmth of summer.
