Let us learn about what health-preserving exercises are.

During the Beginning of Summer, the weather gradually becomes hotter and the temperature rises significantly, but it is cooler in the mornings and evenings, and the temperature difference between day and night is still large, so you should add more clothes in the mornings and evenings. In addition, after the beginning of summer, the days become longer and the nights shorter. At this time, we should adapt to the changes in nature where yang is stronger and yin is weaker. We should sleep relatively late and get up early to absorb the clear and bright energy of heaven and earth. However, we should still pay attention to having a good "noon nap", especially an appropriate nap, to ensure we are full of energy and have sufficient physical strength.

[Diet and Health] The dietary principles at this time are to increase sourness and reduce bitterness, nourish the kidneys and liver, and regulate the stomach qi. The diet should be light, low in fat, easily digestible, and rich in fiber, and eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. In normal times, you can eat more fish, chicken, lean meat, beans, sesame, onion, millet, corn, hawthorn, loquat, bayberry, cantaloupe, peach, papaya, tomato, etc.; eat less animal offal, fatty meat, etc., and less salty food, such as salted fish, pickles, etc. [Spiritual Health] Another point that should be emphasized in health preservation during the Beginning of Summer is "resting quietly". People tend to feel irritable and restless after the beginning of summer, so to maintain health in the beginning of summer, one must "refrain from anger and irritability" and avoid being too happy or angry. Instead, one must keep the mind calm, the emotions cheerful, the mood comfortable, relaxed and happy, and smile often. You can also do more quiet cultural and sports activities, such as painting, fishing, calligraphy, playing chess, planting flowers, etc. [Exercise for health] After the beginning of summer, as the temperature rises, people tend to sweat. "Sweat" is the fluid of the heart. During the beginning of summer, you should be careful not to sweat excessively. After exercise, you should drink warm water to replenish body fluids. During the Beginning of Summer, do not choose exercises that are too strenuous. You can choose relatively mild exercises, such as Tai Chi, Tai Chi sword, walking, jogging, etc.
