7 points to note for women with yang deficiency to prevent heatstroke

It is important for women to prevent heatstroke in summer, but if they over-do it, it will have an adverse effect on their health to a certain extent. What’s more important is that heatstroke prevention also depends on your physical condition.

First, wearing less clothes is not necessarily better.

Some women like to wear suspenders and vests, exposing more skin, whether they are going out or at home. This makes it easy to get sunburned outdoors, and it is also easy to catch a cold if you dress like this in an air-conditioned or fan-filled environment indoors.

Second, try to drink less cold drinks.

In summer, the human body sweats more and consumes more energy, making the body prone to dehydration. Some women like to have an ice cold drink when they are thirsty. Experts point out that the best way for women with yang deficiency is to drink boiled water or light salt water, which can not only quench thirst, but also replenish the salt lost by the body in time. Although ice drinks can bring temporary comfort, a large amount of ice drinks will lead to poor venting of sweat pores, difficulty in heat dissipation from the skin surface, accumulation of residual heat, and easily cause heat stroke. Cold drinks make the spleen and stomach of women with yang deficiency more fragile, making them more prone to abdominal pain, diarrhea, and cold pain in the stomach.

Third, pay attention to safety when exercising in summer.

Women with yang deficiency should not exercise too much or too vigorously in the summer. It is better to sweat a little to avoid damaging the heart yin due to excessive exercise. Exercises such as jogging, walking, and swimming can make female friends feel relaxed and happy. When the sun is scorching, swimming can especially help relieve heat and improve the function of the cardiovascular system. But before going into the water, be sure to do warm-up exercises or pat your body with cold water to prevent accidents such as cramps.

Fourth, adequate sleep is better than beauty treatments.

Women with yang deficiency are very prone to dark circles, chloasma, sagging skin, and dry and dehydrated skin. Sufficient sleep ensures the skin's self-renewal and is a good way to alleviate skin problems. In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, and the summer nights are hot and unbearable, which affects the quality of sleep. Taking a nap can compensate for lack of sleep at night. It not only allows the brain and various body systems to relax and rest, but is also beneficial to the metabolism of the skin. It is a good way to improve skin quality.

Fifth, good food therapy for summer.

If women with yang deficiency want to eat bitter melon in summer, they must first remove its coldness. For example, they can stew bitter melon with fresh meat. This will not only have the meaty aroma but also a slightly bitter taste without damaging the yang energy. You can also drink more winter melon porridge in summer. Put appropriate amounts of winter melon and rice in a pot, boil them over high heat first, then simmer over low heat until the melon is rotten and the rice is cooked and the porridge is thick. It can produce body fluid and quench thirst, and has the effect of clearing away heat and preventing heatstroke.

Sixth, cultivate a good mental state.

People with yang deficiency tend to be quiet, introverted, often in a bad mood and easily depressed. We should regulate our emotions, reconcile our joy and anger, eliminate our sorrow and worry, and prevent panic. Adjustment methods, learn to relieve negative emotions by yourself, be good at communicating and confiding in others, cultivate a cheerful personality, be magnanimous, make an appointment to change your mood, improve your psychological quality, and participate more in social group activities.

Seventh, take certain medicines for conditioning.

For those with yang deficiency, the primary principle should be to tonify the kidney and warm the yang, strengthen the foundation, and strengthen the body. Commonly used Chinese medicines with yang-tonifying effects include deer antler, seal kidney, placenta, nine-scented insect, psoralea corylifolia, eucommia bark, dipsacus root, Cistanche deserticola, Astragalus membranaceus, drynaria, Cibotium bark and fenugreek.
