\”If you don\’t do three things when entering ambush, you won\’t get sick for a year.\” What does it mean if you are about to enter ambush and don\’t do three things? Be careful about leaving the \”root of the disease\”

On July 15, he entered the ambush. When it comes to the dog days of summer, I believe many people are familiar with it. The so-called dog days are the hottest, humid and muggy season of the year. \”Wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire\” are mixed. \”Huangdi Neijing\” says: \”The beginning of all diseases must arise from dryness and dampness, yin and yang, joy and anger, diet, and residence.\” According to the experience of the ancients, the dog days of summer are one of the periods when you are most likely to get sick. There is an old saying: \”If you do nothing for three days, you will not get sick for a year.\” We do not deny that this sentence is a bit exaggerated. But it also reminds us to pay special attention to conditioning our bodies during the dog days to reduce the trouble of diseases. So what exactly does the “three no-dos” refer to? If you don\’t do it: Don\’t \”covet the cold\”, it means that the bitter summer is coming. The sun is blazing above and the moisture is evaporating below. It can be described as torture for people to live in this environment. The most popular thing at this time is something iced. Drink ice water, ice melon and ice fruit. After one sip, the pores all over the body seemed to be cheering for joy. But Xiaobu must remind everyone: in the dog days of summer, it is not wise to be greedy for coolness. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, in summer, \”yang is strong outside and weak inside.\” Dog days are the period when the human body\’s yang energy is at its peak. The human body sweats more, the blood flow in the gastrointestinal tract is relatively reduced, and the gastrointestinal function is weakened. At this time, if you consume a large amount of cold drinks, iced drinks and other cold items, it can easily cause gastrointestinal cramps, leading to abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. In addition, ingesting a large amount of water too quickly will dilute the blood, increase the burden on the heart, and may even cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, it is best to drink water in small amounts many times, 100-200ml at a time. It\’s best to drink warm water and don\’t be greedy for cold water. Second, don’t do it and don’t “expose” it. When summer comes, many people rely on air conditioning to “extend their lives.” Especially after entering the dormitory, the air conditioner is turned on all day and all night, but no attention is paid to keeping warm. It may feel comfortable at the time, but coveting the cold for a long time will inevitably deplete the body\’s yang energy and damage the body\’s functions. Cold is the root of all diseases, and dampness is the mother of all diseases. From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, moderate sweating helps to expel cold and moisture from the body. And if you catch a cold after sweating a lot, it is easy for evil spirits to invade the body. So even in very hot weather, we still need to pay attention to protection in the places we should protect. For example, the belly and back should not be too exposed due to greed. Although no one else can care about being shirtless in your own home, it really isn\’t worth it if another \”disease\” is caused by this. If you don’t do anything and don’t sit for long periods of time, people will become lazier when the weather gets hotter. Sitting on the sofa with the air conditioner blowing on, or half-lying down, it\’s so comfortable that I don\’t even want to move. But being too comfortable often comes with a \”price.\” First of all, sitting for a long time will lead to poor blood circulation in local parts of the body and increase the risk of thrombosis, especially the formation of venous thrombosis in the lower limbs. Secondly, sitting for long periods of time in air-conditioned rooms can lead to muscle stiffness and joint pain, especially in the neck and back. Therefore, it is recommended to do simple activities every hour. Even if you get up to pour a glass of water, you can still take the opportunity to stretch and promote blood circulation. In addition, physical activity should be appropriately increased during non-working hours. Proper exercise in summer can not only promote the operation of the body\’s circulatory system, but also activate the body\’s heat-producing mechanism to help maintain the body\’s yang energy.
