2, Summer clothes need to be reduced slowly

The temperature is gradually rising, and before the summer solstice, vests and low-waisted pants can be seen everywhere on the streets.

But did you know that summer is still in the season of "yin qi not dissipating, yang qi not regaining", and the temperature is gradually rising, so clothes should also gradually adapt to the temperature, not instantly refreshing, otherwise the body will find it difficult to adapt to sudden temperature changes, and the skin's defense will be easily damaged, which may lead to rheumatic symptoms in the future, and regret it too much.

So, friends who want a refreshing and less cloth in summer, take your time. Take good care of yourself, and improve your immunity, to shine all summer.

3, Drinking alcohol to relieve heat only requires "80% drunkenness"

In summer, cold and refreshing beer is always necessary for colleagues' gatherings, classmates' gatherings, and family gatherings, but everyone should pay attention to that even though beer is not as alcoholic as Baijiu, it will still damage your health if you drink too much.

People will unconsciously drink heavily in a joyful environment, which will repeatedly dilute stomach acid, gradually reduce digestive enzymes, and hinder the absorption of the gastrointestinal mucosa, making it very easy to cause indigestion. Excessive drinking can increase the blood volume in the body, especially in patients with hypertension and heart disease, which can easily worsen the condition. Excessive consumption of chilled beer can also cause diarrhea.

Experts suggest that drinking beer can only be up to 80% drunk, which can help the digestive system self-repair and prevent damage to the immune system.

4, Internal adjustment is crucial

In terms of improving immunity, internal regulation can gradually and effectively cure it. Daily consumption of excellent Chinese herbal medicine can also effectively enhance immunity.

Drinking it directly in water can easily lead to nutrient loss. After taking the traditional Chinese medicine tablets of Guanhua Cistanche, I felt a rosy and energetic complexion after two weeks, and I haven't been sick much for over a year."
