暑热来袭，年轻人常常会排着长队在等一支彩虹冰淇淋，老年人却忘不了痛快地喝一碗大碗茶。 中国人这种夏天喝热茶，轰轰烈烈涮火锅的习惯常常让歪果仁丈二和尚摸不着头脑.
其实， 这些看起来奇怪的习惯都源于中医对阴阳和体气通畅的理解。
传统中医有上千年的历史和实践， 研究和记录了很多植物、花草、和食物的热性或者说凉性，亦或温性特征。 这些特征并不一定和它的温度有关， 倒是和它的氧化程度有关。 传统习惯里夏季喝一些低氧化程度的花草茶热饮反而可以长时间的保持身体的清凉并且去夏毒、排汗、保持血液循环通畅。冷饮一时一刻凉爽， 热饮却能保持长期的阴阳平衡。
今天橙子老师就给大家介绍一下普通中国人，以及流行东亚几百年的三种镇暑简单方:
1. 绿茶是未发酵茶，保留了很多天然活性成分， 通常被视作凉性饮品， 有抗氧化、排毒和抗癌的功效。 目前是西方环保人士的流行标识饮品之一.
2. 荷叶茶: 夏日清荷爽心又爽目， 微苦、性甘凉、淡淡清香。 取新鲜荷叶不用发酵，晾干切片入沸水， 加入几朵玫瑰和一勺蜂蜜，即去暑还美容， 是美眉们的追捧。
3. 绿豆汤: 绿豆性凉，绝对是邻家和自家夏季最爱的食品。简单、经济、实惠! 熬一锅绿豆汤， 温温时加入一点冰糖! 儿时放学回家的清凉记忆，城市上班族等待的祛暑安康。
何妨在追逐一时清爽的冷饮的同时， 拾起传统的良方? 不仅保一夏清凉，还拥有健康平衡的舒畅!
最后, 橙子老师提醒您----还有两周我们的线上主题夏令营就要结束。赶紧来报名， 温故知新，酷酷地迎接新学年哦!
