The summer dog days are approaching, and according to meteorologists' predictions, this year's dog days may break the record for the highest temperatures ever recorded, becoming the hottest year on record. Maintaining physical health and comfort is very important in such hot weather.
The schedule for the three dog days in 2023 is as follows:
Initial dormancy: July 11th to July 20th, 2023, for a total of 10 days.
Mid Autumn: July 21st to August 9th, 2023, for a total of 20 days.
Last episode: August 10th to August 19th, 2023, for a total of 10 days.
The three dog days of this year will last for a total of 40 days, starting from the initial peak on July 11th and ending on the final peak on August 19th. The dog days are the hottest period in summer, and we need to pay special attention to health preservation and body protection. In order to spend this special summer, we should pay special attention to health preservation and follow the principle of "1. Do not eat, 2. Do not wash, and 3. Do not sleep".
In summer, we should try to avoid eating raw and cold food as much as possible. These foods may cause indigestion and spleen and stomach discomfort. On the contrary, we should choose easily digestible foods such as brown rice, vegetables, fruits, etc. to maintain the health of the digestive system. In addition, drinking more water is also important to maintain the body's water balance and avoid dehydration.
2 No washing: 1Not taking cold baths; 2. If sweating profusely, do not take a shower immediately.Although summer is hot and we often feel unbearable, taking a cold shower is not a wise choice. In addition, when sweating profusely, we should wait for a period of time for our body to naturally cool down before taking a shower. Rinsing the body too early can lead to delayed closure of pores, which can easily lead to colds and other health problems. On the contrary, taking a warm bath or wiping the body with cold water is a better choice, which can help alleviate the feeling of dryness and heat.
1. Do not sleep in the "cool sleep": During the dog days, when the temperature is high, people often tend to find cool places to rest. However, greed can easily cause physical discomfort. Therefore, we should avoid falling asleep in excessively cool environments, such as direct contact with air conditioning or turning on powerful fans. An excessively cool environment can lead to low body surface temperature, causing muscle tension and pain, which in turn affects sleep quality. A suitable room temperature is the key to comfortable sleep, and it is recommended to maintain it at around 25 degrees Celsius.
2. Sleep without "bad emotions": Emotions are crucial for good sleep. During the dog days, people may feel uncomfortable, irritable, or tired due to the hot weather. However, falling asleep with negative emotions can lead to a decrease in sleep quality. Therefore, we should try our best to keep a positive attitude, relax, and carry out some stress relieving activities, such as meditation, listening to Light music or reading a favorite book, to help reduce tension and anxiety and promote better sleep.
3. Not sleeping in the car: During the dog days, the temperature inside the car is extremely high, and staying in the car to rest is very dangerous. Due to the enclosed interior of the car, high temperatures can quickly accumulate, which may lead to health issues such as heatstroke or heat stroke. Even when sleeping with the air conditioning on, suffocation may occur due to lack of oxygen, and even life-threatening. Therefore, we should avoid taking long breaks or sleeping in the car, especially during hot periods. If it is necessary to rest in the car, a suitable parking spot should be selected to ensure good ventilation inside the car. It is best to turn on the air conditioning and open some windows to provide appropriate air circulation.
In addition to following the principle of "1 do not eat, 2 do not wash, and 3 do not sleep", there are also some other summer health advice. Firstly, it is necessary to exercise appropriately, but avoid vigorous exercise during hot periods to avoid excessive burden on the body. You can choose to engage in mild exercise in the morning or evening, such as walking or Tai Chi. Secondly, it is important to pay attention to sun protection, use sunscreen that is suitable for your skin type, and avoid direct sunlight. In addition, maintain indoor ventilation to reduce prolonged exposure to high-temperature environments.
During the dog days, we can also choose some cool food to cool down. For example, you can eat more fruits that are rich in water, such as watermelons, strawberries, grapes, etc. Not only can you quench your thirst, but you can also supplement the body with the vitamins and minerals it needs. In addition, you can also drink some herbal or green tea to help clear heat, detoxify, and refresh your mind.
In short, this year's dog days may be very special, expected to be the hottest year ever. In this special summer, we need to pay special attention to our health. Remember the principle of "1 do not eat, 2 do not wash, and 3 do not sleep", and follow appropriate dietary habits, reasonable bathing methods, and good sleep habits. At the same time, pay attention to moderate exercise, sun protection, and maintain indoor ventilation, and choose cool food to cool down. Only in this way can we have a healthy and comfortable summer. Let's spend this special dog day together and maintain our health and vitality!
