First, life and health
During the summer heat, it is necessary to get rid of the summer heat, and it is not advisable to stay outdoors in the hot sun for too long to avoid heatstroke. Get up early in the morning to exercise, stretch your muscles, and don't sweat too much when exercising. In hot weather, the air conditioner must be used moderately, the temperature should not be too low, and the temperature difference between the air-conditioned room and the outdoor temperature should not exceed 10 degrees Celsius, so as to avoid blowing air directly into the air conditioner after sweating, which may easily cause cold air to enter the body and cause diseases. On the other hand, it is hot in summer, and people are easily tired. At this time, we should pay attention to taking a good nap, taking a nap for half an hour and keeping energetic.
Second, emotional health.
In summer, the weather is very hot, and people are easily agitated. At this time, mental conditioning should focus on "quietness".

Be calm at night, concentrate, control your yang, don't stay up too late, have too much nightlife and get excited in the middle of the night. These are all health taboos. Usually, you can drink sour plum soup to help calm your nerves, and you can also participate in relatively quiet activities such as painting and calligraphy, which can achieve the effect of calming your nerves and nourishing your heart.
Third, exercise.
The heat is in the dog days, and the weather is hot. People with insufficient yang are cold all over and lack yang. During the hot summer, they can walk outdoors properly. The so-called "exercise gives birth to yang", and exercise helps to nourish yang. However, for normal people, it is advisable to exercise less or choose low-intensity exercise, such as walking, brisk walking, Baduanjin and Tai Ji Chuan. , should be in the early morning or evening in cool parks, rivers and boulevards. Pay attention to avoid sweating after exercise, replenish water after exercise, but avoid eating cold drinks, otherwise it is prone to abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms.
