When the lungs are sick, the skin is damaged, the heart and brain are damaged, and the whole body suffers! This fruit nourishes the lungs and moistens the lungs
Summer is the season of high disease incidence, because common cough and sputum cause lung disease. How is this going?
The "fuse" of the high incidence of various diseases in summer
Every June, July, and August are the peaks of outpatient visits, and the high incidence of various diseases is closely related to "a certain fuse". Once ignited,
Cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, myocardial infarction, heart failure, coronary heart disease, respiratory disease, intestinal disease, etc. may all appear.
This fuse is
Lung disease. Lungs are particularly susceptible to seasonal effects, especially
In the hot summer, the incidence is very high. Once damaged, it will not only cause lung problems, but also lead to acute attacks of chronic diseases, which will become the fuse of systemic symptoms.
In Chinese medicine, the lungs are not just the lungs, but a system of the lungs. Chinese medicine believes that: "The lungs are located above the diaphragm, open to the throat, and open to the nose. They are in the body and skin, and their beauty is in the hair, which is related to the large intestine." That is,
The lungs are closely related to the nose, throat, fur, and large intestine.
The lungs are delicate and dirty, and it is easy to get sick and have respiratory symptoms. If you feel the wind evil, you may also experience skin urticaria, urticaria, and even an acute attack of eczema. In addition, the lungs and the large intestine are in-surface and out, and there may be some discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract.
The clues of lung diseases
Since the lungs are so fragile, a series of related diseases may be induced if they are not careful. So, how do we measure ourselves whether our lung system is healthy?

The function of regulating the water channel is in charge of the regulation of water metabolism in the body. So, if
Facial edema occurs in the morning or after encountering a common cold, and it is necessary to use medicines that disperse lung qi and disperse water pathogens for conditioning.

Summer is a good time to take supplements, but the wrong supplements can also lead to lung damage. for example:

sweating too much,
The first consumption is yang, which is easy to increase the risk of the lungs feeling external pathogens.
When eating sheep and scorpions, many people like to eat them with cold drinks. but
"Shaping cold and drinking cold will hurt the lungs." Feeling cold evil will also hurt the lungs.

Chinese pepper, cinnamon, star anise, onion, ginger and garlic are very common condiments in life, and they have one thing in common, namely
Thick, spicy and pungent. Since the spleen likes dryness and dislikes moisturizing, it is in charge of the sense of taste, so these spices can stimulate the spleen, mobilize the sense of taste, and make people particularly appetizing.

Xiangyang City, Hubei Province has the reputation of "Hometown of Chinese Peach", and the peaches here are also loved by everyone! In June, the peaches are ripe. At this time, the peach forest is full of fruits, and the branches are covered with big peaches that are bright red in yellow. The whole Taoyuan ditch is filled with the fragrance of peach.
Every time this season in previous years, the peaches here have been booked out by suppliers from all over the world. But 2020 will be a difficult and bumpy year for everyone. Recently, fewer and fewer foreign tourists are picking peaches from Xiangyang, Hubei, and the price of peaches has dropped to about half. Watching the peaches mature day by day, but the sales are not increasing day by day. The fruit growers do not pick and do not pick, and they will rot if they cannot be sold. If they do not pick, they will eventually rot in the fields.
I hope everyone can taste the delicious peaches in Xiangyang, Hubei while helping the fruit farmers.
