Modern medical research has found that people's psychology, emotions and body can be linked and influenced by the nerve-endocrine-immune system. Therefore, the fluctuation of mood is related to the decline of immune function and the occurrence of diseases. Especially in the elderly, it is not uncommon for anger to lead to myocardial ischemia, arrhythmia, elevated blood pressure and even sudden death. Therefore, if you want to cultivate your mind in the long summer, you should be quiet and calm, and do more quiet things, such as painting, practicing calligraphy, listening to music, playing chess, planting flowers and fishing, so as to keep your mood comfortable.
In terms of diet, the weather is getting hotter in the long summer, so we should eat more light and digestible foods rich in vitamins, and eat less greasy foods, otherwise it will easily lead to hot inside and outside, leading to acne, oral cavity collapse and constipation caused by excessive internal heat. You should also drink more milk and eat more soy products, muscles, lean meat and other foods that are good for "nourishing the heart".
After the long summer, although the weather is getting hotter and hotter, it is not hot in dog days, so don't put on thin clothes in a hurry and don't cover too little at night to avoid catching a cold at night. Old people should pay more attention to avoid stagnation of qi and blood to prevent heart attacks.
