Insist on living a "Bajie" life in summer health preservation

As we enter the hot summer, we need to know that summer is also a high-risk period for various diseases. We must do a good job of daily health care so that we can spend the hot summer in good health. So what should we pay attention to when maintaining health in summer? According to Chinese medicine, in summer health care, we must adhere to the "Eight Precepts Life".

Quit cold drinks

Many people regard cold drinks as a panacea for cooling down. Although drinking a bottle of cold drinks can reduce the temperature temporarily, it is extremely harmful to the stomach and intestines. It not only affects the digestion and absorption of food, but also easily causes intestinal infections and symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea.

Avoid greasy

The human body consumes a lot in summer and needs to nourish the yang energy. Greasy meat dishes are yin foods. Not only do they fail to nourish the body, they also reduce appetite and are not good for health. Try to eat less of them. You should eat more light and easily digestible foods, such as mung beans, lotus seeds, and lotus leaves, which can strengthen the stomach, relieve heat and remove dampness, which is very beneficial to your health.

Three taboos not to eat

Some girls who love beauty think that the lack of appetite in summer is a good way to lose weight, so they avoid eating if possible, or replace staple foods with cold drinks and fruits. Although I lost weight, my health was greatly damaged and I cannot gain it back even if I want to. As the saying goes, a healthy summer is three-quarters weak. A normal diet cannot guarantee health, so wouldn’t losing weight at this time do more harm to the body?

Four things to avoid: staying up late

It is hot in summer and the quality of sleep is poor, so many people simply go to bed late and take advantage of the coolness late at night to go out for karaoke or stargazing. It seems romantic and comfortable, but in fact, the pores of the human body are open in summer, making it easy to be attacked by wind and cold. Staying up late will make people look bad and have dull skin, and the body cannot detoxify normally. Therefore, it is best to go to bed early and get up early and live a regular life.

Five Precepts for Sun Exposure

Many people like to go to the beach, or go to the wild to escape the heat, or go shopping together. However, the ultraviolet rays in the summer sun will not only tan the skin, but also easily burn the skin, and even cause diseases such as cataracts and skin cancer. Always apply sunscreen before going out, wear a sun hat and sunglasses, and try to minimize the time you spend in the sun.

Six Precepts of Stillness

In summer, people feel weak all over and sweat as soon as they move. Many people simply stay in the air-conditioned room every day and never go out of the house. If you stay still for a long time, blood circulation will be poor and your body will experience many discomforts such as headaches and chest tightness. When the sun sets, try to get out of the house and do more exercise. The amount of exercise does not need to be too much, just enough to not feel tired.

Seventh commandment: laziness

Some diseases are more serious in winter but less severe in summer, such as bronchitis, asthma, and rheumatic arthritis. While the symptoms are relieved in summer, you should see a doctor and get medicine for oral and topical use in time, which can effectively prevent recurrence in winter. People with winter diseases should not be lazy and should do their homework well in the summer.

Bajie is irritable

It is easy to suffer from heatstroke in summer, and some people will become particularly irritable. You know, summer is already hot-tempered, and if you get angry and lose your temper, wouldn't that be adding fuel to the fire? Therefore, in the irritable summer, you must learn to control your emotions and not let them erupt like a volcano. A good mood is the most effective magic weapon for health preservation. Following the eight precepts will regulate your body and mind, which is good for your body and uterus. The key is to persist.
