Enter the dog days
All kinds of Futian health tips are out of the circle
"Sunning the back for health" is on fire again
Some say dog days to dry your back
It is the cheapest way to maintain health
Set off a "leeward wind" on the Internet
Quite a few people followed suit
Sweat in the sun
Some netizens even had symptoms such as sunburn and heat stroke
According to Xiao Jie, director and deputy chief physician of the Fourth Department of Internal Medicine (Second Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine) of Hunan Provincial Chest Hospital, there is a certain theoretical basis for traditional Chinese medicine on dog days. The principle of "dog day sun back" is similar to that of "dog patches", which is to stimulate the meridian acupuncture points to achieve the effect of replenishing yang qi, discharging dampness, and enhancing immunity. The back meridians are mostly yang meridians, and the dog days can stimulate the yang energy of the meridians and have a certain health care effect. In addition, sunbathing can also help tonify the kidneys, promote calcium absorption, improve blood circulation, and improve sleep quality.
It should be noted that sunbathing does not burn fat and does not help much for weight loss. In addition, you should also pay attention to your back, avoid sunning your back at noon, hydrate your back before sunning, and don't bask your back for more than an hour, and wear thin and breathable clothing.
Although the sun back is very "hot"
But it's not for everyone, either
People like the following are not suitable for sunbathing:
One is people who are allergic to ultraviolet rays;
the second is that the physique belongs to the people who are strong in yang or yin deficiency and hyperyang;
the third is people with underlying diseases, especially those with hypertension and coronary heart disease;
As well as pregnant women and young children, normal sun exposure is sufficient, and there is no need to deliberately sun their backs.

It also reflects the importance that contemporary young people attach to health
In addition to sunning the back
The ancients have long discovered the necessity of dog days for health preservation
Let's take a look at the wisdom of the ancients
The wisdom of Futian health hidden in the poems
1. Take care of the heat
In summer, people often feel unbearable heat and sweat profusely, and some people stay in air-conditioned rooms for long periods of time during this period, which is not good for their health. In ancient times, there was no electric fan air conditioning, and in the same scorching summer sun, the ancients could only pay attention to the heat, or go to the forest and the stream to cool off. As early as the Wei and Jin dynasties, some poets emphasized that the dog days should pay attention to the summer heat.
"Mocking Guest Poems"
Wei Jin · Cheng Xiao
When you are in the dog days, there is no traffic on the road.
Closed doors to escape the summer sleep, in and out of each other.
In this world, the swaddling clothes touch the heat to the people's house.
When the host heard that the guests were coming, he frowned.
It is said that when you go, sit down and straddle.
There is no urgency to say, and there is a lot to step on.
Tired for a long time, he asked Jun Ji Na.
The arm of the fan hurts, and the sweat is pouring down.
It's not a trivial matter, but also a flaw.
Spread the precepts to all the high-ranking friends, and the hot line should be seen.
During the Wei and Jin dynasties, people began to close their doors in the dog days, even if there were guests visiting, they were not willing to meet them, so they persuaded these "hot guests" not to bother with nothing to do, and should "close the door to lie in the summer, and go in and out without passing each other", so as to be considered to have good etiquette.
"Natsuhi Yamanaka"
Tang · Li Bai
Lazily shake the white feather fan, naked in the green forest.
Take off the towel and hang on the stone wall, and sprinkle the pine wind on the top.
Li Bai was much more arrogant, and came to the mountains alone, with a feather fan and no clothes and shoes. "Pine breeze on the roof" reflects the poet's leisurely and close to nature. Come to nature, feel the natural wind, come to the mountains, escape the scorching heat, and feel the tranquility and coolness of the forest.
"Cool South of the Bridge"
Song · Lu You
Drag the cane to chase the willow outside the cool, and draw the south side of the bridge to lean on the Hu bed.
The moonlight boat flute is uneven, and the wind sets the pond lotus to be fragrant.
The half-falling galaxy knows the night for a long time, and the infinite grass and trees feel that the city is barren.
Bi Tube is not sorry to get drunk, and personnel are still busy with the sunrise.
As the saying goes, "It's good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree." "Under the shade of the trees, the mountain villa near the water and the trickling stream are all good places to escape the heat. Take a walk by the river, the flowers on both sides of the river are charming, the flute on the boat is melodious, and the summer heat gradually recedes in the charming scenery. Far away from the scorching heat, the lotus fragrance refreshes people's hearts, the flute sound is melodious and pleasant, and the summer heat suddenly dissipates invisibly.
2. Nourish the sun in spring and summer
In the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing· Su Wen · Four Tempering Spirits, it is said: "The yin and yang of the four seasons are the root of all things." Therefore, the sage nourishes the yang in spring and summer, and the yin in autumn and winter, so that from its roots, it floats with all things in the gate of growth. ”
In terms of diet, we should pay attention to strengthening the spleen and invigorating qi, eat less bitter cold, save cold drinks, and eat less greasy and indigestible food. In addition, the sour taste is astringent, which can protect the body surface, and salty foods can help the body replenish the salt lost due to excessive sweating, so it should be replenished in time.
There is a folk saying that "eating radish in winter and ginger in summer, and doctors do not work to prescribe medicine", and eating ginger in summer is also a practical application of the theory of "raising yang in spring and summer".
When Su Shi was an official in Hangzhou, he recorded a strange story of relying on ginger to prolong his life in the book "Dongpo Miscellaneous Records".
Once, Su Shi went to visit the monk who was in high health - Cong Yao Wang, and by the way, he asked for advice on the way of health preservation, and Cong Yao Wang shared the "health care products" recipe he ate every day. Su Shi later wrote a poem to record the production method of this recipe:
One pound of ginger and half a pound of dates, two taels of white salt and three taels of grass,
Half and two cloves and agarwood, and four taels of fennel are pounded together.
Whether it is fried or soaked, repairing this medicine is like a treasure.
Drink a glass every morning and look old for the rest of your life.
3. The mind is calm and naturally cool
The ancients did not have advanced technology to cool down, which is the old saying "the heart is calm and naturally cool". The importance of mental states can be seen in the verses left by the poet.
"The Meditation Room of the Bitter and Heat-Bearing Eternal Silence"
Don · Bai Juyi
Everyone is crazy about the summer, and the only Zen master does not go out of the room.
However, the meditation room is not hot, but it can calm the mind and cool the body.
Compared with others going to the mountain lotus pond by the bridge, Bai Juyi is much calmer. The phrase "calm heart is cool body" will be clear to achieve inner peace and natural coolness on the body. In the middle of summer, soothe your irritable mood, drink a cup of tea, read a few poems, and be at ease, the weather is like fire, and you can be comfortable, comfortable and relaxed.
"Summer Sales"
Don · Bai Juyi
Why do you want to eliminate the heat and live in a courtyard.
There is nothing long in front of you, and there is a breeze under the window.
The heat is dissipated from the heart, and the cool is empty.
At this time, it is difficult to be more with others.
The small courtyard surrounded by green trees and shaded by thick shade is isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. The room is empty, there is no clutter, put a rocking chair, Bai Juyi lies quietly to enjoy the shade, and feels the beauty of time in the swaying. The heart is calm, and coolness is born from the heart.
How to kill the heat, the heart is calm and naturally cool. A detached and self-satisfied attitude to life is the secret recipe for cooling off in summer.
