2. After the start of summer, people with sleep disorders are more likely to toss and turn or have difficulty sleeping at night. If you can't go to bed early at night, you should arrange a proper nap at noon. In addition, getting up early in the summer for moderate morning exercise is also a good way to adjust.

3. In summer, "air conditioning" has become a habit, but prolonged exposure to air conditioning can easily lead to heatstroke. Drink plenty of salt water in the office and at home to prevent heatstroke.

4. Drinking too much beer is not good. Beer contains alcohol, and drinking too much will not only fail to cool you down, but will also reduce your thinking ability and work efficiency, and may even cause errors and accidents at work.

5. Best Soup Dish – Tomato Soup: Drinking tomato soup in summer can provide both nutrients and hydration, achieving two benefits at once. Tomato soup (drink it after it has cooled down) contains lycopene, which has certain anti-prostate cancer and heart-protective effects, making it most suitable for men.

6. Common cold: The sweltering heat outside and the cool breeze indoors, combined with prolonged exposure to air conditioning and the large temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, easily leads to a cold. Symptoms mainly include chills, headache, fever, nasal congestion, runny nose, and cough. Drinking a bowl of ginger soup at this time will often significantly improve your cold symptoms.

7. Aches and pains in the limbs: Staying in an air-conditioned room for a long time makes the joints of the limbs and the waist most susceptible to wind and cold, leading to aches and pains. At this time, you can boil some strong hot ginger soup and use a towel soaked in the water to apply a hot compress to the affected area.

8. Drinking too many sugary drinks can make you thirsty in summer. Some people are used to drinking sugary drinks in large quantities. However, sugar is a natural appetite suppressant. Sugar can be quickly absorbed into the blood and make people feel full all of a sudden, so they can't eat and thus create a vicious cycle.     

9. Best Vegetables – Bitter Vegetables: High temperatures and humidity in summer often cause lethargy, fatigue, chest tightness, dizziness, loss of appetite, and weight loss. Eating bitter vegetables can be very beneficial at this time. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the discomfort in summer stems from the intense heat and dampness, which damages both kidney qi and the spleen and stomach.   

10. Drink mung bean soup in moderation. Many people drink mung bean soup or red bean soup when they can't eat a full meal, but these foods, like rice, are carbohydrates. Eating too much will also lead to weight gain.

Eating some cooling vegetables is beneficial for quenching thirst, relieving irritability and heat, clearing heat and purging fire, and detoxifying and promoting bowel movements.     

14. Eat more melons and vegetables with high water content. In summer, the temperature is high, and the human body loses more water than in other seasons, so it is necessary to replenish water in time.

23. In autumn, patients with stomach problems should eat warm, soft, bland, vegetarian, and fresh foods. They should eat regularly and in small, frequent meals so that there is always food in the stomach to neutralize stomach acid. This can prevent the stomach lining and ulcers from being eroded and thus worsening the condition.

24. In summer, the ultraviolet rays are strong. If a child's head is shaved, the hair will lose its sun protection barrier. In addition, the child's skin defense function is not fully developed. Shaving the head can easily increase the chance of external injury, thereby increasing the chance of various bacteria infecting the scalp.

25. During sleep, the body produces a substance called "muramic acid," which can enhance immune function. Therefore, it's important to get enough sleep, especially when you have a cold, to boost your immunity and alleviate cold symptoms.

26. Swelling and numbness in the legs at night are symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency. Eating more raw vegetables, which contain fiber that can strengthen vein walls, is recommended. Doing leg exercises several times a day is also helpful.

32. In summer, people sweat a lot. If they drink a lot of water at once, it will increase the burden on the heart, lower the blood concentration, and may even cause palpitations, shortness of breath, and cold sweats. If you are extremely thirsty, you should drink a small amount of water first, wait a while, and then drink more.

33. Eat more foods rich in vitamin A, such as carrots, spinach, pumpkin, tomatoes, green peppers, celery and other yellow and green vegetables, which have the functions of protecting and strengthening the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract and the epithelial cells of the respiratory organs.

38. Drinking too many sugary drinks can make you thirsty in the summer. Some people are used to guzzling sugary drinks. However, sugar is a natural appetite suppressant.

39. Drinking a cup of warm water with vinegar before traveling can prevent motion sickness.

39. Eating undercooked stir-fried pork liver is harmful: The liver of a pig is a detoxification organ and contains a small amount of toxins. If it is not cooked thoroughly, it will be harmful to eat.

40. Tea should not be too strong. Strong tea can cause the gastric mucosa to contract, proteins to coagulate, and gastric juices to be diluted, affecting digestion and the absorption of iron.

41. It is not advisable to eat oranges an hour before drinking milk, because the protein in milk will coagulate when it comes into contact with the fruit acid in oranges, which is not conducive to the absorption of milk.

42. Sprains and bruises: Hot compresses should not be applied during the stress period of sports injuries. However, if there is no bleeding or swelling 2-3 days after the injury, hot towels can be used to relieve symptoms.

43. People with dry, photophobic, and teary eyes, blurred vision, dry and rough skin, those who watch TV frequently, and those with cardiovascular diseases should eat more carrots, animal liver, eggs, milk, etc.

44. Do not cool hot eggs with cold water: After the eggs are cooked, the protective membrane of the eggshell is damaged. If you put the eggs into cold water, the eggs will contract violently, and a vacuum gap will be formed between the egg white and the eggshell. Bacteria and viruses in the water can easily be absorbed into this gap inside the egg by the negative pressure.

45. Yogurt can be consumed at any time except when you are very hungry. For people with normal gastrointestinal function, drinking yogurt before meals is not a problem, but those with stomach ulcers, excessive stomach acid, or other similar conditions should be especially careful.

46. ​​Brown Rice: Brown rice is whole grain rice, retaining the bran, and is rich in fiber. It has water-absorbing and fat-absorbing properties, provides a feeling of fullness, promotes bowel movements, and helps with detoxification. Having a bowl of brown rice porridge or a cup of brown rice soy milk for breakfast every day is a good way to detox.

48. Job's Tears: Job's tears can promote blood circulation and water metabolism, exerting a diuretic and swelling-reducing effect, which helps improve edema-type obesity. Job's tears water is a good detoxification method; simply boil Job's tears in boiling water until soft, then add a little sugar to taste. It is a natural skin-whitening product.

49. Sweet potatoes: The fiber in sweet potatoes is soft and easy to digest, which can promote gastrointestinal motility and help with bowel movements. The best way to eat them is roasted, with the skin on, for a delicious and sweet taste.

Eating such fruit can cause gastrointestinal discomfort in mild cases, and acute gastroenteritis in severe cases.

51. Long-term use of cups with tea stains: Tea stains contain a variety of harmful substances that can cause diseases in organs such as the kidneys, liver, and gastrointestinal tract.

146. Drinking tea after meals dilutes gastric juices, affecting food digestion. Furthermore, tea contains a large amount of tannic acid, which can cause undigested protein in the stomach to combine with the tannic acid, forming indigestible precipitates and hindering protein absorption. Tea also interferes with iron absorption, and over time, this can even lead to iron-deficiency anemia.

147. Experts recommend eating a moderate amount of sunflower seeds every day, as they are extremely rich in vitamin E.
