Miscanthus: The busiest season of the year

Mango is one of the 24 solar terms, and "Mango" is the busiest season of the year.


"Miscanthus seed" is also known as "busy planting" and "busy planting", which is the dissemination and sowing of farmers' friends. The arrival of "mango seeds" heralds the beginning of a busy field life for farmers.

In addition, summer-sown crops such as late grain, millet and millet are also the busiest season for sowing, so they are also called "miscanthus seeds".


As the saying goes: spring fights for the day, summer fights for the time. And "fighting for time" refers to the busy harvesting and farming at this time.

Mango health preservation, focusing on "prevention"

The arrival of the solar term means that the hot climate in summer has gradually begun. However, it is also necessary to pay attention to going to bed late and getting up early, and receiving sunlight appropriately, so as to conform to the abundance of yang energy, which is conducive to the operation of qi and blood, and invigorates the spirit.


Professor Li Qiangou, a national-level veteran Chinese medicine doctor, believes that special attention needs to be paid to "preventing heatstroke and dampness" during the season of mango planting.



Of course, in addition to the "prevention of heat stroke and dampness" reminded by Professor Li Qiangou, it is also necessary to pay attention to the prevention of two situations: prevention and treatment of heat cold and prevention of latent winter disease.


Only by preventing these two situations can we prevent the invasion of diseases and spend the summer safely~

01

Prevent heatstroke: Prevent summer napping


Just like the winter and March when spring is sleepy, autumn is lacking, and you can't wake up, "summer nap" is a physiological manifestation of people in summer. And the most important thing to prevent heatstroke is to prevent summer napping. There are two things that need to be done here:


1
. Potassium supplementation: stabilize blood pressure

In the hot summer, the human body sweats a lot, and potassium will be excreted with sweat in large quantities.


Once the human body lacks potassium, not only the energy and physical strength will decrease, but also the ability to withstand heat will be reduced, the most prominent manifestation is the soreness and weakness of the limbs, and in severe cases, it will be accompanied by cardiovascular system dysfunction, and even dyspnea.


When the human body sweats a lot, in order to quickly replenish potassium, you can drink some fruit juice or sugar and salt water to prevent excessive reduction of blood potassium, which can not only prevent "summer nap" but also prevent blood pressure from rising and low blood pressure.

2
. Take a nap: take care of your heart

In summer, the days are longer and the nights are shorter, and the sleep time is relatively reduced, and napping is an appropriate supplement. "Take a nap for a quarter of an hour and make up for an hour at night" can not only prevent "summer napping", but also help to maintain the heart.


Zheng Qinglian, a professor of traditional Chinese medicine at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University School of Medicine, said that traditional Chinese medicine believes that napping is a good way to nourish the mind. At noon, when the yang energy is on the high side, it is necessary to rest to nourish the yin and achieve the purpose of harmonizing yin and yang.


Especially for middle-aged and elderly people with cardiovascular diseases, if they do not pay attention to lunch breaks, it will cause an increase in blood viscosity and even increase the risk of myocardial infarction.


Of course, the nap time should not be too long, generally half an hour is appropriate. If you sleep too long during the day, you will not be able to sleep at night, causing bad circulation and affecting your health.
