Summer is the best season to cultivate yang energy, so how to improve yang energy in summer?

As the saying goes, "Yang in spring and summer, Yin in autumn and winter", summer is the season with the most vigorous yang energy in the four seasons of the year, and it is also the time when the effect of improving yang energy is the best. Most people only need to do a good job in life management, such as going to bed early and getting up early, eating a balanced diet, insisting on exercise, relieving stress, etc., and they can naturally achieve the effect of maintaining yang energy. If your yang energy is weak, you can also improve it by sunbathing, moxibustion, exercise, diet therapy, etc.

1. Three-pronged patches and moxibustion.

Moxibustion can quickly replenish yang energy, and ordinary people can choose home moxibustion devices for moxibustion due to the constraints of conditions. First identify the health care acupuncture points such as Kidney Yu, Spleen Yu, Mingmen, Guan Yuan, Sanyin Jiao, Yongquan, etc., and then moxibustion for 10 minutes at each acupuncture point, which can effectively enhance the body's yang energy. During the dog days, the exuberance of yang energy will reach its peak, and you can apply dog moxibustion, which can not only replenish yang energy, but also help eliminate cold and dampness.

2. Dry your back in the morning.

Drying your back is the easiest way to replenish your yang energy, and the pulse on your back is the sea of yang energy, which can effectively enhance your yang energy when basking in the sun. It should be noted that the sun is more intense in summer, and we should choose a time when the sun is softer, such as morning or evening. For the average person, the intensity of the sun between 8 and 10 a.m. is more appropriate, and the back is exposed for half an hour every day, and when the back is sunburned, it is best to expose the back.

3. Exercise and diet.

Consistent exercise and improved diet are the most stable ways to stimulate yang energy. Regular exercise can not only effectively promote the rise of yang energy, but also promote the discharge of cold and damp evil qi from the body, thereby enhancing yang energy and enhancing physical fitness. People with insufficient yang energy must adhere to a moderate amount of exercise, such as running, playing badminton, dance, tai chi, gymnastics and other aerobic exercises, which are all good choices.

In terms of diet, many foods have the effect of replenishing yang qi, such as walnuts, pumpkin seeds, leeks, ginger, mutton, pumpkin, onions, cinnamon and other foods are beneficial to replenish yang qi.

4. Correct habits that damage yang energy.

In the summer, due to the hot weather, many people are greedy for cold and cold, which in turn severely damages their yang energy, so it must be corrected. Try not to eat cold drinks and foods such as herbal tea, iced watermelon, ice cream, popsicles, ice cream, and iced drinks. In addition, do not take cold showers, use air conditioners in moderation, do not stay in air-conditioned rooms for a long time, and if you can't tolerate the heat, it is better to get closer to the cool environment of nature.

Eating some nourishing foods, soaking your feet more, and maintaining a good mood and insisting on a morning run every day can all be improved.

Don't eat cold things, drink less herbal tea, don't eat ice cream, you can soak your feet often, you can eat some ginger, you can eat some mutton.

We can go out to bask in the sun more often, but we should be prepared for sun protection, and then eat more yang food, do some exercise, and maintain a good daily routine.

1. Eat less cold drinks, the climate is hot in summer, cold drinks have become people's favorite drinks, and many families, regardless of men, women and children, must drink several cups a day to cool off the heat. People don't know that although the climate is hot in summer, the yang energy of the human body is in a state of leakage, that is, it is full of yang energy outside and void inside, and yin energy is lurking inside, and there is not enough yang energy to protect the spleen and stomach, and excessive drinking of herbal tea is easy to damage the spleen and stomach qi, causing symptoms such as reduced appetite, stomach pain, diarrhea, etc., and it will also damage the yang energy of the kidney for a long time, resulting in yang deficiency of the spleen and kidney.

2. Eat less cold food: In summer, the body's metabolic activity is vigorous, sweating more, pores are open, if you are greedy for cold, such as sweating after being exposed to wind or air conditioning is too cool, it is easier to damage the body's yang energy. Summer is still a humid season, dampness is yin and evil, and it is most likely to hurt the spleen and yang, so don't think that summer is only the evil of summer heat, and eat cold food every day.

3. Drink less herbal tea in summer: especially in the south of our country, it is more drunk, coupled with the propaganda of manufacturers, so that people always feel that they must drink herbal tea in summer, and they don't know that summer should be used to nourish yang energy. Some herbal teas on the market are too bitter and cold, which is not suitable for drinking, especially for people with weak spleen and stomach function.

Humidity in summer, especially in the long summer (the period of the summer season) is through the spleen, drinking herbal tea hurts the spleen yang, the spleen's transport (metabolism) function of water and dampness will decline, and the spleen will be contained by the dampness evil, once the function of the spleen is blocked by the dampness evil, it may be because the spleen can not be transported normally, the qi is not smooth, resulting in the accumulation of water and dampness in the body, and there are various symptoms such as abdominal distention, loss of appetite, loose stool, unfavorable urination, edema, and warmth of the limbs.

4. Appropriate exercise: In summer, the outside yang energy is the most vigorous, so you should go to outdoor activities more often, which can replenish the body's energy, regulate qi and blood, and maintain yang energy, but it is not advisable to exercise excessively, and you should do sunscreen when you go out. Walking can strengthen yang energy.

5. Massage Yongquan acupoint: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "essence is born from the soles of the feet", and essence refers to the energy of the human body. There is an important acupuncture point on the soles of the feet, namely the Yongquan acupoint.

In his free time, he often massages the Yongquan acupoint.

First, it is necessary to bask in the sun properly.

Because sunlight is the main yang energy of the human body**. Summer morning.

The sun is best at nine or ten o'clock, when the sun is neither strong nor weak. The air quality is also at its freshest at this time, as plants begin to emit oxygen through photosynthesis. At this time, if you are in the woods, do aerobic breathing facing the sun, the best health effect.

Second, go to bed early and get up early.

Summer is the season when the human body is on fire and the lungs are failing, so go to bed early and get up early to comply with the fullness and prosperity of yang energy. Waking up early to get in the sun and fresh morning air is good for your body. In summer, if you go to bed late and get up early, you will not get enough sleep, especially the elderly, who have the characteristics of poor sleep and easy to wake up, and are more likely to feel fatigue.

3. Eat in moderation.

Diet should not be excessive, but also pay attention to eating cold drinks carefully, so as not to damage the spleen and stomach yang qi, you can eat some warm food to warm up the spleen and stomach yang qi in the body. Especially for people with yang deficiency, you can eat more foods that are good for temperature and yang, such as jujubes, walnuts, etc. In summer, there is a lot of sweating and more salt loss, so it is advisable to eat more sour taste to fix the surface, and eat more salty taste to replenish the heart.

In addition, mung bean soup, watermelon, honeysuckle tea, chrysanthemum tea, black plum soup and other good products to quench thirst and relieve the heat, the nature is more cold, people with yang deficiency eat less, and it is best for weak people not to eat cold.

Fourth, it is necessary to exercise appropriately.

Don't be disgusted with long days and hot days in summer, but still insist on participating in labor and physical exercise to adapt to the summer growth. Spending more time outdoors, especially in sunny forests, is good for your health.

You can eat some ginger, soak your feet before going to bed, have a good mood, go for a run every day, and get a proper amount of sun.
