It is often said that women have temperament, but what does it mean to have temperament? Temperament is something that emanates from within a woman, making her appear particularly comfortable and desirable to be close to. So how can one develop temperament? The key lies in learning to take care of one's health.
Women's Summer Health Knowledge
1. Regular Schedule
Go to bed and wake up early, so that the stored energy is consumed and the biological clock is adjusted. The best time to fall asleep is between 22:00 and 23:00; the best time to wake up is between 5:30 and 6:30. Taking a nap (1 hour) can promote physical health.
2. Avoid Cold Foot Baths
In the hot summer, some people like to use cold water to bathe their feet, but this is not advisable. This is because when the nerves in the feet are stimulated by cold water, it can disrupt the normal function of blood vessel dilation, leading to spasms, arthritis, and rheumatism.
3. Be Mindful of Coolness
When using air conditioning in the summer, pay attention to the following: The optimal temperature for air-conditioned rooms is 25-27℃; when transitioning from an air-conditioned environment to a high-temperature environment, avoid sudden changes in temperature, and the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors should not exceed 5℃; ventilate the room every 2 hours; some patients should not stay in air-conditioned rooms for extended periods, as they may develop "air conditioning sickness."
4. Choose Suitable Exercises
Walking is the best exercise. Keep your head up, chest out, legs relaxed, move forward alternately, swing your arms, and breathe rhythmically. Take a walk once or twice a day, for 20 to 40 minutes each time.
5. Maintain a Good Mental Attitude
6. Pay Attention to Eating Habits
In the summer, drink plenty of plain water and eat more vegetables and fruits. Avoid greasy, spicy, and other heavy foods. Opt for a light and balanced diet.
Women should pay attention to strengthening the spleen and removing dampness in the summer
1. Dampness is a common pathogen in the summer. In addition, the spleen and stomach functions are weakened in the summer, causing poor appetite and easy diarrhea. Symptoms such as a white, greasy coating on the tongue indicate a heavy accumulation of dampness. Therefore, it is necessary to consume foods that strengthen the spleen and remove dampness, such as patchouli, lotus seeds, and perilla leaves.
2. In the hot summer, the diet should be light, soft, and easy to digest. Avoid high-fat, heavy, and spicy foods that can cause inflammation. A light diet can clear heat, prevent heatstroke, stop sweating, and replenish fluids. Eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits to meet nutritional needs and prevent heatstroke. It is advisable to consume mainly porridge as a staple food, such as lotus seed porridge. You can also drink some refreshing beverages, such as plum juice and chrysanthemum tea. However, moderation is key when consuming cold drinks, as excessive consumption of cold foods can harm the body's yang energy. Additionally, consuming vinegar can stimulate appetite, inhibit and kill bacteria, and prevent gastrointestinal diseases.
3. In the summer, people sweat a lot and have a poor appetite. Various types of nutritious and health-preserving porridge can be consumed to stimulate the appetite and regulate the body. Adding lotus leaves (known as lotus leaf porridge) during the cooking process can give the porridge a refreshing aroma and a slightly bitter taste, which can invigorate the spleen and stimulate the appetite, as well as relieve heat, nourish the stomach, and promote bowel movements. Adding mung beans or cooking a soup solely with mung beans can have the effects of relieving heat, quenching thirst, clearing heat, and promoting urination. Cooking porridge with soaked adzuki beans and rice can clear heat, remove dampness, invigorate the spleen, and stop diarrhea. In addition, mint porridge, tremella porridge, kudzu root porridge, and bitter melon porridge are all good choices for the summer.
