With the arrival of summer, Futian is also quietly approaching. For middle-aged and elderly people, Futian is a severe period to test their health. Today, I'm going to share with you some practical health tips to help you cope with the summer heat. Remember these three principles: "1 don't sleep, 2 don't sun, 3 don't eat", let's spend the summer together safely!
1. 1 Don't sleep - the first step to arrange your work and rest reasonably and protect your health
The high temperature of the day can make it difficult to fall asleep, but a good night's sleep is essential for middle-aged and elderly people. You must remember the following "not sleeping":
Don't sleep on the air conditioner and blow it directly: Many middle-aged and elderly friends like to sleep with the air conditioner on in summer and feel cool. But you know what? Direct blowing of air conditioners can easily lead to colds, frozen shoulders and other diseases. Therefore, when sleeping, make sure that the air conditioner does not blow on the bed, and you can place an electric fan in the room to promote air circulation. At the same time, keep the indoor temperature between 26-28 degrees Celsius, so that you can enjoy the coolness and ensure your health.
2. 2. Don't sun - sunscreen to cool down, stay away from summer troubles
The sun is scorching, and middle-aged and elderly people should pay special attention to sun protection and cooling. The following two "don't get sun" will help you easily cope with the scorching sun.
- Don't bask in the midday sun: The sun is at its most intense at noon, so try to avoid going out during this time. If you must go outside, please take sun protection measures, such as wearing sunscreen, wearing a hat, and wearing a parasol.
- Don't sun your head: The head is the place where the body's yang energy is most vigorous, and it is also the part that is most vulnerable to sun damage. When you go out on a busy day, be sure to protect your head and avoid direct sunlight to prevent heat stroke and headaches.
3. 3. Don't eat - eat a reasonable diet to add points to your health
People take food as their day, especially in Futian, and diet is very important for the health of middle-aged and elderly people. Here are three "don't eat" to help you get through the hot summer with ease.
- Skip overnight meals: Food is prone to spoilage due to high summer temperatures. Overnight meals not only taste bad, but can also produce harmful substances. For your health, try to eat freshly and avoid overnight foods.
- Don't eat too greasy food: Greasy food will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines and affect digestion and absorption. Futian should be based on a light diet, eat more fresh vegetables, fruits and lean meats to maintain a balanced nutrition.
- Don't eat cold foods: Although it is hot, excessive consumption of cold foods can cause gastrointestinal upset. It is recommended that middle-aged and elderly people eat ice-cold food in moderation to relieve heat and cool down, while paying attention to protecting the gastrointestinal tract.
Although Futian is hot, as long as we master the principle of "1 don't sleep, 2 don't sun, 3 don't eat", we can spend the summer safely. Middle-aged and elderly friends, let us take action together to protect our health. This summer, let's walk with health and share a good time!
