In the scorching heat of midsummer, what kind of drink is good? According to traditional Chinese medicine, hot tea is the best choice. Modern medical research shows that caffeine, theobromine, theophylline and aromatic substances dissolved in hot tea can excite the brain nerves, help regulate the body temperature center, strengthen the heart and diuresis, promote blood circulation, increase kidney blood flow, speed up metabolism, and allow excess heat in the body to be excreted with urine. Drinking hot tea can promote blood flow to the body surface, open sweat pores, relax sweat glands, promote sweat discharge, and dissipate heat. Some people have determined that drinking hot tea can lower the skin temperature by 1℃-2℃ after 9 minutes, and the cooling can be maintained for more than 15 minutes. The elderly have dry mouth due to insufficient body fluids. The tea polyphenols, sugars, amino acids and various aromatic substances contained in tea can stimulate the oral mucosa, promote saliva secretion, and play a role in producing body fluids and quenching thirst. People with chronic diseases such as obesity, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are prone to heat stroke in hot summer. Tea polyphenols, vitamin C, ester polysaccharides and other components in tea can protect cardiovascular health, lower cholesterol and blood lipids, protect hematopoietic function, increase white blood cells, and enhance disease resistance. Therefore, drinking tea is extremely beneficial to strengthening the body and preventing heat stroke. However, drinking tea should be scientific, and drinking tea should not be excessive. It is appropriate to drink light and moderate tea, and taste it slowly. Mung beans have a heat-reducing effect. Mung beans are more effective in clearing away heat and relieving heat, moistening the throat and quenching thirst. It is also rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Regular consumption can balance human nutrition, regulate endocrine, and is helpful in lowering cholesterol, alleviating arteriosclerosis, hypertension, and protecting the liver. After summer, Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and Shi Dishui have become essential emergency medicines for preventing heatstroke in families. If these two medicines are used interchangeably, adverse consequences will inevitably occur. Huoxiang Zhengqi Water has the effects of relieving the surface and dissipating dampness, regulating qi and harmonizing the central nervous system. It is mainly used to treat symptoms such as headache, dizziness, epigastric distension and pain, vomiting and diarrhea caused by exogenous wind-cold and internal injury and dampness stagnation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that although the climate is hot in summer, diseases caused by wind and cold may be caused due to sudden changes in weather and insufficient timely defense or due to low indoor air conditioning temperatures. Internal injury and dampness stagnation refers to symptoms such as epigastric distension and pain, nausea and vomiting, bowel sounds and diarrhea caused by heat-dampness. There are many rainy weather in summer, which is the most humid season of the year. When moisture invades the human spleen and stomach, it affects the function of the spleen and stomach and causes diseases. Modern medical research has confirmed that Huoxiang Zhengqi Water can be used for summer colds, gastrointestinal colds, acute gastroenteritis, indigestion and other diseases. People with clinical manifestations of aversion to cold, fever, chest and diaphragm fullness and tightness, nausea and vomiting, bowel sounds and diarrhea can take it.
