Summer has arrived, and traditional Chinese medicine believes that summer should nourish the heart. The heart controls the blood vessels and regulates blood pressure. Traditional Chinese medicine says that "the heart controls the blood vessels", which means that the entire body's blood system belongs to the heart. The heart delivers nutrients to various tissues and organs throughout the body through the blood vessels to maintain normal physiological functions; And for many "heart and brain" diseases, their treatment also starts with the care of the "heart". Summer temperatures are high, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are not as easy to break out as in winter, but they can directly affect blood pressure fluctuations. Because high temperatures and scorching heat can easily make people restless, it is important to calm down. Excessive sweating can lead to blood concentration, and constant cold and hot stimulation entering and leaving air-conditioned rooms can cause blood pressure to rise. In severe cases, it can lead to stroke or myocardial infarction. So in summer, it's important to rest and unwind.
