As a professional enterprise engaged in the research and development and production of chemical fiber machinery, we not only pay attention to the technological progress of the industry, but also care about the physical and mental health of every partner and employee. On this summer Solstice, we have specially compiled a comprehensive health and wellness guide for you to help you follow the natural laws and enjoy a peaceful summer.

Health preservation follows the natural order and protects the Yang energy

The Summer Solstice is the day with the longest day and the shortest night of the year, marking the official arrival of midsummer. According to traditional Chinese medicine, during the Summer Solstice, "Yang energy reaches its peak and Yin energy begins to rise". At this time, health preservation should follow the natural change characteristics of Yang abundance and Yin deficiency, with a focus on protecting Yang energy while also paying attention to regulating heart energy.

1. Daily life and health preservation: Go to bed late and get up early, and make up for sleep during lunch breaks: During the summer Solstice, it is advisable to go to bed late and get up early appropriately to adapt to the natural changes of abundant Yang and waning Yin. However, it is not advisable to go to bed later than 11 p.m. to avoid affecting your health. At the same time, make up for the lack of sleep at night by taking a nap. A nap of 30 minutes to 1 hour is appropriate, which is helpful for restoring physical strength and eliminating fatigue.

Avoid excessive exposure to cold and protect the body's Yang energy: In summer, the body's Yang energy floats on the surface, and the pores open up. At this time, it is most vulnerable to wind and cold pathogenic factors. Therefore, it is important to avoid excessive coolness. When sleeping, do not let fans or air conditioners blow directly on your body. The temperature of the air conditioner should not be lower than 26℃. When sleeping at night, cover your abdomen well to prevent the invasion of cold pathogen. In addition, it is not advisable to wash your hair or feet with cold water in summer to prevent cold and dampness from entering the body through the pores.

Second, choose appropriate time and activities for exercise and health preservation: In summer, it is best to do exercise in the early morning or evening when the weather is cooler, and avoid exercising under the scorching sun to prevent heatstroke. The site should be chosen in places with fresh air such as beside rivers and lakes, parks and courtyards. Aerobic exercises such as walking, jogging, Tai Chi and Baduanjin are suitable for sports. These exercises are of moderate intensity and can make the body sweat slightly, which is conducive to the release of Yang energy.

Control the intensity of exercise and replenish water in time: When exercising, pay attention to controlling the intensity and avoid overexertion. After exercising, it is necessary to replenish water in time. You can drink a moderate amount of light salt water or mung bean soup, which can not only replenish the water and electrolytes lost through sweating, but also clear heat and relieve summer heat. However, it is important to avoid drinking large amounts of cold boiled water. Moreover, one must not use cold water to rinse the head or take a shower to prevent the invasion of cold pathogenic factors.

Iii. Dietary Health Preservation: Have a light diet and eat more fruits and vegetables: In summer, the climate is hot and the human digestive function is relatively weak. The diet should be light and avoid eating too much greasy, rich, spicy and stimulating food. One should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelons, peaches, etc. These foods are rich in vitamins and minerals, which can not only clear heat and relieve summer heat, but also supplement the nutrients needed by the body.

Eating bitter foods in moderation can nourish the heart and calm the mind: According to the Five Elements theory in traditional Chinese medicine, summer corresponds to the heart, so it is advisable to consume bitter-tasting foods to nourish the heart. Bitter-tasting foods have the effects of clearing heat, purging fire, nourishing the heart and calming the mind, such as bitter gourd, lotus seed heart and chicory. Bitter gourd can be mixed cold or stir-fried, and lotus seed hearts can be brewed into tea for drinking. This way, one can not only savor the unique flavor of bitter foods but also achieve the purpose of health preservation.

Strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness, regulating the spleen and stomach: After the summer Solstice, there is an increase in rainfall and high air humidity, making the human body vulnerable to dampness invasion, leading to symptoms such as loss of appetite, abdominal distension, and loose stools. Therefore, it is important to strengthen the spleen and remove dampness. One can consume more foods that have the effect of strengthening the spleen and removing dampness, such as coix seed, lotus seed, white adzuki beans, and winter melon. You can cook porridge with coix seed and lotus seed and make soup with winter melon. It is both delicious and healthy.

Fourth, emotional health preservation: Maintain a calm mood and avoid irritability: In summer, the weather is hot, and people are prone to restlessness and large mood swings. Intense fluctuations in emotions can affect the function of the heart and increase the burden on the body. Therefore, during the summer Solstice, it is important to focus on regulating emotions and maintaining a peaceful and pleasant mood. One can relax the body and mind and relieve stress by listening to music, reading, taking a walk and other ways.

Cultivate hobbies to enrich life: In daily life, one can develop some hobbies that interest them, such as painting, calligraphy, photography, etc., to make one's life more colorful and rich. When we are immersed in the things we like, we can forget our troubles and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude.

Precautions for scientific health preservation

1. Scientific Diet: Focus on light food and avoid overly cold foods. During the summer Solstice, the human body's digestive function is relatively weak. The diet should be light and easy to digest, with more intake of coarse grains, vegetables and other foods rich in dietary fiber. Fubang Machinery specially recommends the following health-preserving recipes:

Lotus seed, Lily Bulb and Silver Ear Soup: It strengthens the spleen and kidneys, calms the mind and soothes the spirit. It is suitable for those who suffer from insomnia and frequent dreams in summer

2. Winter Melon and Coix Seed Soup: It helps to relieve summer heat, eliminate dampness and promote diuresis, assisting in the elimination of excess water from the body

3. Lotus Leaf and Poria Cocos Porridge: It can clear heat, relieve summer heat, calm the mind and soothe the spirit. However, those with weak spleen and stomach and cold constitution should use it with caution

Pay attention to dietary taboos:

Avoid excessive consumption of chilled foods. Even heat-relieving delicacies like watermelon and mung bean soup should not be eaten chilled

2. In summer, nights are short. Avoid eating raw, cold or sticky foods in the evening to prevent bloating and diarrhea

It is not advisable to drink tea on an empty stomach, especially after consuming salty foods, as it can easily damage kidney Yang

Second, moderate exercise: Light and slow is preferred. During the hot summer solstice, when exercising for health preservation, the principle of "light, slow and moderate" should be followed. Fubon Machinery suggests choosing relatively gentle forms of exercise such as walking, jogging, Tai Chi, and Baduanjin. It is best to arrange the exercise time in the early morning or evening when the weather is cooler. The venue can be chosen in places with fresh air such as beside rivers and lakes, parks and courtyards.

Avoid intense exercise that may cause profuse sweating and damage the Yang energy

When sweating excessively, it is appropriate to drink light salt-warm water, but it is strictly forbidden to drink a large amount of cold boiled water

After exercising, do not immediately rinse your head with cold water or take a shower to avoid causing cold-dampness arthralgia syndrome

The summer solstice is approaching. In this hot season, I hope everyone can do a good job in health preservation and care to maintain good health.
