How do you get rid of heart and brain fatigue and irritability in the summer heat?

The scorching heat and sultry weather of summer can leave people feeling mentally and physically exhausted, irritable, and lethargic.

This sypotom stems from several conditions:

1. Lack of sleep.

Summer is a season of long days and short nights. 

People work and play for longer hours, causing them to sleep for shorter periods of time. 

Moreover, there is a large temperature difference between summer nights. 

The gradual decrease in ground radiation and the gradual decrease in temperature at night cause a large temperature difference at night, 

leading to a decrease in the quality of sleep for many people. 

This is one of the main reasons why people are tired during the day.

2. Weakness of spleen and stomach.

The symptoms of weakness of spleen and stomach often manifest as feeling sleepy and dozing off. 

Many people often feel tired and sleepy after meals. 

The main reason is that after eating, the stomach digests and contracts, with a large amount of blood gathering in the stomach. 

Blood sugar is consumed to provide the stomach's ability to contract, which leads to a decrease in blood supply and blood sugar level to the brain. 

This makes people feel tired and sleepy. 

After about an hour, blood sugar levels rise, and people's energy levels return to normal. 

Meanwhile, in summer, due to excessive rainfall and humidity, it is easy for the body to accumulate dampness, 

which also leads to weakness of the spleen, causing symptoms such as feeling sleepy, 

fatigue, shortness of breath, and excessive sweating.

3. Metabolism speeds up, the body's circulatory system accelerates, and nutrient consumption and waste excretion increase.

Under intense heat, everyone's metabolism is relatively high. 

With various activities performed under the scorching sun, the heart beats rapidly. 

At the same time, the body's circulation system accelerates significantly, and sweat glands secrete sweat rapidly. 

Therefore, many people experience hypoglycemia due to the increase in metabolism, leading to fainting, dizziness, fatigue, irritability, and drowsiness. Moreover, after exercise, the accelerated body's circulation system causes excessive sweat secretion by the sweat glands, 

resulting in the loss of electrolytes and water, which also contributes to weakness, dizziness, and other symptoms.

4. Intense summer exercise leads to low blood sugar.

Summer is a high-frequency season for exercise. Many people, aiming to stay fit or lose weight, tend to reduce food intake and increase physical activity. This often leads to a sharp depletion of the body's energy and a significant drop in blood sugar. 

However, some people trying to lose weight, due to dieting or other factors, or those who have been physically inactive for a long time, may experience a rapid drop in blood sugar during intense exercise, resulting in dizziness. 

In severe cases, it may lead to cerebral shock and other symptoms. 

During this period, it is recommended to immediately consume easily digestible and absorbable sugary foods 

such as glucose or honey to replenish blood sugar.

The main components of locust flower honey are glucose and fructose (glucose content is about 30.12% and fructose content is about 44.73%). 

Drinking locust flower honey can help people overcome fatigue in the heat of summer and replenish energy.

1) Acacia honey is the most suitable honey for consumption in summer, with a cooling nature.

2) Acacia honey has functions such as nourishing the spleen and stomach, clearing heat and detoxifying, and eliminating toxins and fats.

3) Acacia honey has the efficacy of protecting the liver.

4) Acacia honey can quickly restore the body's blood sugar.

5) In addition, Acacia honey has excellent anti-inflammatory effects, 

especially in eliminating various pathogenic bacteria in the human intestine. 

After consumption, it can reduce the occurrence of dysentery, which is common in summer.
