Save this sauna day survival guide 1. Eat some melons and lotus root in a proper dietNational Senior Chinese Cook Xu Wenfei in 2013 The Times article pointed out that the “sauna day” has high temperature and heavy humidity, and it is easy to suffer from heat stroke. It is necessary to eat some foods such as melons and lotus root, which can clear away heat and relieve heat, and refresh the mind. ⑧Relieving the Heat – Winter Melon and Shrimp Soup Melon food has the functions of clearing heat and cooling blood, clearing heat and detoxifying. I recommend a winter melon and shrimp soup. Wash the winter melon (200 grams) and cut them into pieces. Wash the shrimp (20 grams) with water. After the oil is hot, add the shrimp, add an appropriate amount of water, and season it after cooking. Drinking a small bowl of boiled soup every day has the effect of clearing heat, dispelling dampness and diuresis. It is suitable for people who feel sleepy in their limbs due to hot weather. Remove the fire – fried bitter gourd with egg yolkBitter gourd, bitter bamboo shoots, bitter vegetables, etc. Bitter foods contain alkaloids, which have the effect of relieving summer heat and clearing heat and promoting blood circulation. Bitter gourd can reduce fire, improve eyesight, clear heat and detoxify. Slice the bitter gourd and shiitake mushrooms separately for later use. When the oil is hot, add the bitter gourd slices, remove and drain the oil. Then heat the oil in the pot, add garlic slices and saute until fragrant, add mushroom slices, salted duck egg yolk and stir fry, add bitter gourd slices, a small amount of salt, chicken essence, pour a little water, cook for 1 minute, sprinkle with chopped green onion. Remove heat – stir-fried lotus root with colorful peppersLotus root has the effect of clearing heat and relieving summer heat It also has the effect of nourishing the stomach and nourishing yin. It is recommended that you eat more in summer. Raw lotus root has a good effect of clearing heat and cooling blood, but it is relatively “cool” and not suitable for people with spleen and stomach deficiency. For dinner, you might as well make a fried lotus root with colorful peppers. Peel and slice the lotus root, put it in boiling water for a while, remove it and let it cool for later use. Cut the colorful pepper into small pieces for later use. Marinate the shrimp with salt, chicken essence and starch. After the oil is hot, add ginger and green onion. , garlic, then add shrimp, lotus root slices, and bell pepper, stir-fry to taste. 2. Drink more bean soup and bean porridgeThe Fifth Medicine of PLA General Hospital Song Tiantian, a nutritionist from the nutrition department of the center, pointed out in an article in Health Times in 2014 that in hot weather, especially “sauna days”, the air humidity is high, the body sweats more, and the loss of nutrients and water increases. Drinking more porridge and soup is the first diet adjustment. step. And as the weather becomes more and more sultry, many people feel dizzy, fatigued, and inappetence. The loss of B vitamins, vitamin C, potassium, calcium, and magnesium is greater than in other seasons. To pay attention to supplement, bean soup bean porridge is one of the best choices. Soybeans are rich in potassium, magnesium and other minerals and B vitamins. They can be cooked into porridge and soup to add water and electrolytes to help you through the bitter summer. ⑨3. Hydrate in small amounts and multiple times Drink plenty of water during the sauna day, replenish water in time, and never wait for thirst to drink water. Zhang Xiaoyan, director of the Nutrition Department of the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province, published an article in Health Times in 2018 reminding that you should drink a small amount of water several times, 100-150 ml each time. Ideally, the interval is 20 to 30 minutes. Do not drink water that is too cold, which can easily cause digestive system diseases. ⑩4. Air conditioner preferred dehumidification modeAccording to Introduced in the 2018 publication of the magazine “Public Electricity” sponsored by Hunan Electric Power Industry Association, in the summer, leave the empty spaceAdjusting the mode from “cooling” to “dehumidification” can not only make the house as cool as a refrigerator, but also save a lot of money and minimize the damage to the human body. When the “Dehumidification” mode is turned on, the indoor unit will keep running at low speed, and the outdoor unit will also operate intermittently, so that the continuous cycle keeps the room temperature around the set temperature. When the “cooling” mode works, the indoor unit and outdoor unit of the air conditioner continue to operate until the indoor temperature reaches a low temperature, so it will consume more power. ⑪5. Soak your feet with fenugreek to remove dampness and prevent heatstroke Guo Xiaochen, the attending physician of the Cardiovascular Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, published an article in Health Times in 2017, pointing out that the huoxiang foot bath can dispel dampness and prevent heatstroke. Decoction of Chinese herb Huoxiang, followed by foot bath and foot massage, is a good way to remove dampness and relieve heat. ⑫6. Rinse the wrist with cold waterDirector of General Surgery, Peking University First Hospital In an interview with Peninsula Metropolis Daily in 2011, physician Wu Tao introduced that the uncomfortable sauna days can make people feel uneasy, and one can use a simple and easy way to cool down. For example, put your wrist under the tap every few hours and use cold water Rinse, every 3 to 5 seconds. Because the blood vessels in the wrist are dense, a cold water rinse can quickly remove excess heat from the body and lower the temperature of the blood. ⑬
