Hot summer weather, many people are often impatient, anger, eat ice to reduce the heat, coupled with frequent access to air-conditioned rooms, sweating by the wind and catch cold; Chinese medicine practitioners said that summer is the need for kinetic energy season, the body needs to sweat to dissipate heat, but eat cold drinks, will cause the water can not be smoothly dispersed out of the body and blowing air conditioning cold, the body is unable to function properly and will easily catch a cold.
Chinese medicine doctor Sheng-Pu Lee said that there are two causes of summer colds, one is virus infection, and the other is temperature difference. The human body is in a state of heat dissipation all the time, the body’s energy is dissipated, forming a Qi around the whole body to protect the body; simply put, the human body needs energy to operate, food fermentation in the gastrointestinal, decomposition into small molecules, through the blood circulation to the whole body for cellular energy, this nutrient molecule vaporization is the so-called Qi and blood in Chinese medicine.
But love to eat cold food, will make the body temperature drop, so that the nutrient molecules condensation, also caused by slowing down the body circulation, can not promote the required heat to the whole body, thus creating the phenomenon of heat accumulation. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee pointed out that if the body’s heat dissipation mechanism is disturbed, love to eat ice or repeatedly enter and exit the air-conditioned room, the temperature difference is a big, easy to catch a cold. In addition to the low body temperature, nutrient molecules vaporization is not complete, can not rise to the lungs, lung Qi deficiency, will be dry throat mouth sticky, then drinking ice water can only get a short time to relieve, but will cause a vicious cycle, more likely to catch a cold.
What is the best way to beat the heat? Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said that there is nothing wrong with eating watermelon in summer, the human body needs to have enough water to keep cool through sweating and eliminate the heat in the body; but eating iced watermelon is not allowed, he explained, room temperature watermelon to replenish the water needed in the body, if it is frozen watermelon will only bring cold, eating cold food will cause gastrointestinal burden and destroy the gastrointestinal temperature, only the opposite effect.
Therefore, when the body is dry in summer, should be more from the warm stomach and intestines to start. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee reminded that if you feel dry and heated in the summer, do not drink ice, but start with a small number of times to drink room temperature water. If you feel uncomfortable, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Since Chinese medicine is a systemic treatment, it disperses the Qi from the intestines and stomach to the whole body, brings water to the head and heart and lungs, and regulates the accumulated heat in the body so that the intestines move naturally and helps the gastric mucus to decompose, thus achieving normal operation. The body will then be able to move naturally and help the stomach mucus to break down, so that it can function normally. But do not take your own prescriptions without knowing your own constitution to avoid harming your body.
