【外熱內冷】注意户外室內溫差大
#一冷一熱易感冒
#神啊求求讓我睡
#星期三問題多多
暑熱也會致失眠
記者朋友：「最近在户外完成工作後，馬上回到冷氣房避暑。之後身體輕微發熱卻怕冷，更流鼻涕、咳嗽、四肢酸痛乏力、頭暈頭痛，半夜醒來好幾次。怎樣才可以快點康復？」
CheckCheckCin：你這種情況是暑熱感冒症狀，烈日下工作後立即到室內歎冷氣是很容易中招的。中醫認為「風為百病之長」，冷氣緊閉排汗毛孔，令體內暑熱無法透過出汗揮發，也容易滯留濕氣；若冷氣風口朝著自己吹，更會令經絡閉塞，引發身體痛症。受暑熱而感冒的人，睡眠也會受影響。建議多飲溫水為身體補濕、戒吃生冷飲食，也可適量進食清熱祛濕食材，晚上睡覺時穿薄而透氣的長袖衣褲，有助排汗，也要注意冷氣溫度不宜過低。推介一款適合烈日下工作時飲用的茶飲，為身體消暑解渴－
粟米鬚冬瓜水

Summer heat can cause insomnia
“After finishing outdoor work, I went back to an air-conditioned room quickly to escape the heat. Soon after, I felt a light fever and aversion to cold, with runny nose, cough, and sore limbs, dizziness and headache. I also woke up several time throughout the night. How can I get better soon?”
CheckCheckCin: You have symptoms of heat flu, which you are most vulnerable too when you work under the heat and head to air-conditioned room soon after. Chinese medicine believes ‘wind is the chief pathogen of all diseases’. Cold air from the air conditioner will shrink the pores and you cannot sweat out the summer heat, which can lead to water stagnation. If you are close to the air conditioner vent, it will occlude your meridians and cause body pain. People who are have summer heat colds will also suffer from insomnia. It is recommended to drink more warm water to moisten the body, avoid cold/raw food and appropriately consume ingredients that can clear heat and dispel dampness. Wear thin and breathable long-sleeved materials when you sleep to air perspiration, but ensure the temperature is not too low. The below drink can clear heat and relieve thirst. It is suitable for those who work in the hot sun.
