With the soaring summer temperatures, many people often feel irritable, lose patience and experience physical discomfort, such as dizziness, dry mouth, bad breath, insomnia and constipation. When the body feels hot, some people will have a poor appetite, only want to fill ice drinks, eat ice to cool off; to this, the Chinese medicine doctor said, appetite is not eaten, or even eat only cold food, will only make the body more hot, moody and easily fatigue, discomfort symptoms will be more serious.
Chinese medicine doctor Sheng-Pu Lee said, summer will feel hot, mainly because the water and nutrition intake is not enough, and can not properly expel the heat in the body; if the appetite is not eaten, or only eat cold food, the low temperature in the stomach will lead to slow digestion and circulation, the body’s ability to dissipate heat, it is easy to accumulate waste in the body, and cold food into the body, the nutrient molecules will be low temperature condensation, resulting in triglycerides, which will lead to oil stuck in the blood vessel wall. This will cause oil to get stuck in the walls of the blood vessels, which will also easily produce stones, bad skin and other symptoms.
Why are frequent ice eaters also prone to constipation? Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee further explained that because the peristaltic movement of the intestines and stomach becomes slower, the water dispersed is not enough and cannot be replenished, the body will automatically absorb water from the large intestine and rectum, and the lack of water in the stool will lead to constipation, forming a cold stomach and irritable bowel. In addition, when the stool is dry and hard, then the wrong way to defecate, defecation is not smooth, it will squeeze the venous blood vessels, easy to get hemorrhoids. It is recommended that you practice abdominal breathing and use your belly button as the center of your bowel movement to avoid excessive anal pressure, which may cause ovarian damage in women and swelling of the prostate gland in men.
Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee reminded that if you really feel very hot, you can use ice towels to cool down, but the body should not be cold, more warm water, sleep well, eat more fruits and vegetables, in order to help the body replenish water. If you don’t sunbathe because you are afraid of the heat and darkness, your resistance will also be reduced. Chinese medicine focuses on overall health, and it is important to have the right concept of health care and good lifestyle habits in order to adjust the natural rhythm of the body’s functions and eliminate illnesses and pains.
