　　So, we can keep health in summer into put it simply, just grasp one word: "light"

 

　　Light -hearted

 

　　"The Internal Classic of the Yellow Emperor" said: "The heart of the heart, the palace of the monarch. The gods come out, so the Lord's statement is down, and the Lord is unknown, then there are twelve palaces."”

 

　　It placed his heart at the high position of the monarch and led the five internal organs. The hot summer is yang, and the heart is fire. If the heart is heavy and the yang and the fire are mutually encouraging, then the gods are annoying, and the internal organs can be harmed, and the fever is born.

 

　　Therefore, Being light-hearted means that put down all your worries, keeping your mind quiet and heart relax.. It is the first rule of summer health care.

 

　　Light spleen and stomach

 

　　When you sweat too much resulting in deficiency of Qi, blood and body fluids in the hot summer weather, If you do not stop eating at this time and overeat and drink, which will increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, there will be a phenomenon called "the child steals the mother's qi" in traditional Chinese medicine. The spleen and stomach qi are insufficient and the heart qi is used to help digest food, making the heart qi even more deficient.

 

　　Some people with existing heart problems will become extremely happy and sad after overeating.. you must pay attention to the amount of food you eat in summer, it juse can be half full to make your spleen and stomach "lighter".

 

　　Diet light

 

　　"Light spleen and stomach" is about grasping the amount of diet. "Light diet" is to require the quality of the diet. It should not be thick and light.

 

　　Summer is the season when Yang Qi is strong. We should eat light foods such as stews, cold cakes, steaming and other light-flavored foods, which can inhibit excessive Yang Qi. Compared with those hot, braised, spicy, greasy and other foods, the yang and yang will be superimposed and the yin and yang in the body will be imbalanced, which is not conducive to health preservation and disease prevention.

 

　　Light sporty

 

　　Exercise is essential for healthcare can match the growth of summer yang energy. But in summer, exercise must pay attention to the word "light"，we can choose sports with low difficulty and less exercise, such as walking, gymnastics, yoga, and so on.

 

　　The exercise time should also be shortened and controlled at about 40 minutes. Summer high temperature itself will consume a lot of heat. If you do large load exercises and sweat like rain, it will damage the human body yang, cause qi and blood to be collapsed, and cause health damage.

 

　　Sleep lightly

 

　　You should go to bed late and get up early to adapt to the changing characteristics of yin and yang in summer, so that yang energy can rise smoothly.

 

　　In addition, there is a saying in the theory of "five labor injuries" in traditional Chinese medicine. There is a saying of "long lying qi". In the hot summer, you sweat and your body consumes a lot of energy. If you do not have enough sleep time, you will not be able to get up, and lying in bed for a long time will also aggravate Qi deficiency, making people softer and weaker as they sleep, and diseases will occur over time.　

 

　　We need to do "light sleep" make sure adults to sleep for 6 to 7 hours a day. But taking sleeping at noon is more important than anytime.
