After entering the volts, the weather is getting hotter every day. We in Shenyang also experienced a high temperature of 40 degrees, which has never been seen in 1966. We can't help wondering: Is this still the Great Northeast of my motherland? picture
However, while everyone is doing their daily work to prevent heatstroke and cool down, don’t be too greedy for cold weather, and remember to take good care of your body at this time. During the period of "three volts", the yang energy of the human body is the most vigorous season, and the human body is in a state of "exuberant yang outside and cold inside". The external yang-heat environment is used to regulate the body. However, if you do not pay attention in summer, the yang energy that is not abundant in the body will be consumed too much in summer, and the "cold" in the body will be relatively aggravated.
For people with cold deficiency, if they eat cold food greedily in summer, it will aggravate the cold and dampness in the body and slow down metabolism. Cold food first damages our spleen and stomach. The spleen and stomach are the "acquired foundation" of the human body. Viscera, if the spleen and stomach are weak, it is impossible to provide the subtle substances in the food to other organs. After a long time, the whole body will be affected and become weak. Special attention should be paid to the fact that parents should supervise their children not to be greedy for cold and cold food, because children are still in the growth and development stage and are more susceptible to external influences, and children are greedy for cold and sweet foods, so they can easily eat too much.
So, what will happen to people with spleen and stomach deficiency?
Common symptoms of such people include aversion to cold, lukewarm hands and feet, a preference for hot foods, pale lips, etc. They are more susceptible to cold, dampness and other evil spirits. Most of the diseases caused by evil spirits are cold syndrome, or they are prone to cold transformation.
In addition, if you like to eat raw and cold food, over time it will cause cold evil to stagnate, causing symptoms such as abdominal distension, vomiting and diarrhea.

In the high temperature weather of nearly 40 degrees, air conditioning is indeed a necessity in summer, and cold drinks are many people’s favorite way to survive the hot weather. However, few people care about whether they can use the air conditioner and eat cold drinks in summer. how much? Most people think that they are young and strong, and it doesn't matter if their temperature is lower or they eat colder food. However, diseases are not acquired in one day. They accumulate little by little and by the time they become serious, it will be too late. The daily habits in today’s life have a great impact on our physique. For people with cold physiques, they should avoid the following habits in summer:
The temperature of the air conditioner is too low or the air is blowing under the air vent of the air conditioner.
The weather is hot in summer. During some particularly hot times, turn on the air conditioner to adjust the indoor temperature so that people can be in a suitable environment. However, the temperature of the air conditioner is too low. Forced by the cold air in the environment, the cold air will enter the body through the pores. Over time, it will damage the human body's yang energy and make the body cold.
drink cold drink
Nowadays, many people think that cold drinks are essential in summer. Some people think that the colder the better, or they just come indoors from outside and take a sip immediately to cool themselves down. But have you ever thought about how your spleen and stomach feel? The spleen likes warmth. Too much cold will damage the spleen yang. If things go on like this, spleen and stomach problems will come to you.
underdressed
In order to pursue beauty, many girls often choose clothes that can highlight their curves. The navel and waist are exposed, which makes them extremely vulnerable to cold evil and can lead to gynecological problems, which are not unrelated to excessively revealing clothing. Women need to be kept warm, and even in summer, they should pay attention to these places not to be exposed to wind and cold.
lack of sleep
Modern people have too much nightlife, so they often go to bed very late at night, and some even stay up all night for work or entertainment, but they can sleep all day during the day. This is very harmful to our body, because the day is yang and the night is yin. Maintaining the rule of working at sunrise and resting at sunset will help balance yin and yang in the body and maintain good health. If it is reversed, it will not only disturb the natural laws of the body, but also affect the physique, gradually becoming colder. If things go on like this, various sub-health symptoms will appear one after another.
After reading the above reasons, everyone knows that daily habits have a great impact on physical health. Often, without noticing, one's own bad habits have an impact on one's own physique. Therefore, in addition to using moxibustion methods, you must also improve your living and eating habits, nourish internally and externally, and work together to help yourself maintain a healthy body!
