Eat a light diet

In terms of diet, Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty advocated that people should "always eat light, sweet and mild foods, and barley koji and glutinous rice are better." He also said: "Those who are good at health preservation should always eat less meat and more rice." While emphasizing the importance of a light and nourishing diet, he also warned people not to eat too salty or too sweet food.
In summer, the human body's metabolism is vigorous, sweat is easily leaked, and the qi is consumed and the body fluids are damaged. Therefore, it is advisable to eat more foods that can dispel heat, replenish qi, promote the production of body fluids and quench thirst. Due to the decline in body functions, reduced secretion of digestive juices in hot weather, and varying degrees of hardening of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, the elderly should have a diet that is mainly light and nourishing, supplemented by foods that clear away heat, relieve fever, protect the stomach and spleen, and have blood pressure and lipid-lowering functions.

Change clothes and take a bath frequently

After Grain in Ear, the weather becomes hot at noon and people tend to sweat, so clothes should be washed and changed frequently. To avoid heatstroke, you should take a bath frequently after Grain in Ear so that the "yang heat" can be easily released. But one thing you must note is that you should not take a shower immediately when you sweat. There is an old Chinese saying that "sweat does not cause moisture", but if "sweat causes moisture, acne will occur." Bathing with medicine can best achieve the purpose of fitness and disease prevention.

Drink plenty of water and take a nap

A proverb in some parts of our country says: "During the Grain in Ear, Summer Solstice, if you walk, you need someone to hold your hand; if you hold your hand, you need someone to pull you; if you are pulled, you need someone to push you." This vividly reflects people's laziness at this time of year. Doctors remind us that we should first keep our spirits relaxed and happy. In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, and a nap can help you recover from fatigue and is good for your health.
