Summer is the season when hair is most prone to falling out. So, what causes hair loss in summer? We’ll explain it all for those of you with long hair. Summer hair loss peak season Summer is a season of vigorous vitality, but most people experience more hair loss and thinning, making it a peak season for these conditions.

Women’s health care: Taking care of women during menopause
Women experience many things in their lives, and physiological changes vary with age. These changes follow a rhythm of 7, with significant changes occurring every 7 years. Women begin to understand things around age 7, experience their first menstruation at 14, begin childbearing at 21, reach their peak physical function at 28, gradually decline from 35, and many begin experiencing menopausal symptoms around 42. Therefore, there’s a common saying: “Men are in their prime at 40, women are past their prime at 40,” meaning that women generally begin to age around 40. Of course, advancements in medical and cosmetic technology can delay menopause for many women, and some women, with good health maintenance, don’t experience menopausal symptoms. However, many women experience premature menopause due to neglecting health and wellness. Although menopause is an inevitable and unavoidable process for women, proper health care can help them navigate it more smoothly and…

Should you go out for exercise during the humid season?
Elderly people and children need to reduce outdoor activities Due to the “return of spring” weather, bacteria and viruses in the air multiply rapidly and become unusually active. When the air pollution index is close to 150, the air quality level is III. People who are more sensitive to the environment, such as the elderly and children, will have their health affected in this kind of air. Air pollution primarily affects the respiratory system. Because the respiratory mucosa is in direct contact with the atmosphere, air pollution primarily affects the respiratory tract. Some harmful substances irritate the respiratory mucosa, increasing mucus secretion and causing goblet cell hypertrophy. Moreover, as concentrations increase, they can corrode the respiratory tract, severely damaging the respiratory organs and causing coughing, phlegm, hoarseness, difficulty breathing, and even serious diseases such as bronchitis, bronchial asthma, emphysema, and lung cancer. This impairs respiratory function…
Health Tips for Seniors During Heavy Snow: During the coldest period of heavy snow, seniors should drink more soup.
From the Beginning of Winter to the Beginning of Spring, encompassing six solar terms-Beginning of Winter, Minor Snow, Major Snow, Winter Solstice, Minor Cold, and Major Cold-is the coldest season of the year. The cold winter climate causes stagnation and contraction of Qi and blood, easily leading to poor circulation and causing many old illnesses to relapse or worsen. In particular, life-threatening diseases such as stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, and myocardial infarction not only see a significant increase in incidence but also a sharp rise in mortality. During heavy snow, the body’s yang energy is stored away, and blood and qi tend to flow inward. This makes it difficult for dampness to escape, which inadvertently increases the burden on the kidneys, easily leading to edema, nephritis, bedwetting, urinary incontinence, and other diseases. Therefore, kidney care is important for health maintenance in winter. A key principle of health preservation during the Great…
Is it harmful to drink long-simmered soups frequently in winter?
Does drinking long-simmered soups in winter for health maintenance actually increase the risk of kidney stones? People in Guangdong especially love slow-cooked soups, and during the cold winter months, every household has a constant supply of these hot soups. However, did you know that the more slow-cooked soup you consume, the greater your risk of developing kidney stones? One reason is that people often drink long-simmered soups made with animal offal, because animal offal is rich in purines. After drinking the soup, the amount of uric acid produced in the body will increase, which can easily lead to the formation of uric acid stones. Clinically, the number of patients with uric acid stones is increasing year by year. Recommendation: How to maintain health when experiencing urinary system problems? Urinary tract stones, including kidney, ureteral, and bladder stones, are called “stone strangury” in traditional Chinese medicine. Clinical manifestations include paroxysmal severe…

As the name suggests, Major Snow signifies heavy snowfall. Ancient people said, “Major means abundant; at this time, the snow is abundant.” During this period, snowfall is often heavy and widespread, hence the name Major Snow. During the heavy snow season, it’s important to know how to “hide”. During the Great Snow season, all things lie dormant, and health preservation should also follow the natural rhythms, focusing on the concept of “concealment.” In terms of daily life, it’s advisable to go to bed early and rise early, and to conserve one’s energy, especially in the south where it’s crucial to keep the lungs clear and protected from autumn dryness. Currently, there’s a significant temperature difference between…
