一觉，二瓜，三汤，四穴，五果

夏天养生一定要抓住：一觉、二瓜、三汤、四穴、五果！

01

中午要有一个“养心觉”

调查研究表明，每日午睡半小时者比不睡者冠心病死亡率少30%。其原因与午睡时血压下降、心率减慢，与白天的血压高峰出现一段低谷有关。

不过，午睡时间不宜过长，一般半小时到一个小时足够。

夏天要吃两种“养心瓜”

1、冬瓜

冬瓜含水量高达96%；钾元素含量也相当高，每100g含钾量为130mg，属典型的高钾低钠型蔬菜。

The hot summer regimen must be grasped: one sleep, two melons, three soups, four points, five fruits!

01

There must be a "rest of mind" at noon

Survey studies have shown that those who take a half-hour nap a day have 30% less coronary heart disease mortality than those who do not sleep. The reason is that blood pressure drops and heart rate slows down during a nap, and it is related to the low blood pressure peak during the day.

However, the nap time should not be too long, generally half an hour to an hour is enough.

02

Eat two kinds of "heart-raising melons" in summer

1. Winter melon

The water content of wax gourd is as high as 96%; the potassium content is also quite high, with a potassium content of 130mg per 100g, which is a typical vegetable with high potassium and low sodium.

Not only can it replenish water, but it can also replenish potassium. Supplementing potassium can excrete excess sodium in the body and protect heart function.

2. Bitter gourd

After the summer solstice, eat some bitter gourd appropriately to relieve heat and increase appetite. The vitamin C content of bitter gourd is 56 mg/100 g, which is more than 10 times that of loofah and pumpkin, and it is also a high-potassium vegetable.

03

It's okay to drink three kinds of "heart-raising soup"

1. Jumai health tea

Honeysuckle tea has the effects of clearing away heat, detoxifying, dispersing wind and heat, and anti-virus. Its medicinal properties are cold and cool, making it more suitable for drinking in summer.

This kind of people can't drink it: use it with caution if you have a cold constitution or a chronic illness. Long-term drinking regardless of season and physique will burden the spleen and stomach.

3. Three leaf tea

It is especially suitable for nourishing the heart and clearing the heat in summer. It has a slightly bitter taste and has the effects of clearing the fire, nourishing the heart and relieving heat.

Method: Take 3-5 grams of each of lotus leaves, bamboo leaves, and mint leaves, or choose one of them (5-10 grams of lotus leaves, bamboo leaves, 5 grams of mint leaves) to make tea.
