The dog days in 2025 are different from those in previous years. The dog days start on July 20 and end on August 18, a total of thirty days. The schedule has been released, as shown below:
• First dog days: 2025/7/20-2025/7/29, a total of ten days;
• Middle dog days: 2025/7/30-2025/8/8, a total of ten days;
• Last dog days: 2025/8/9-2025/8/18, a total of ten days;
The 30-day dog days have broken the convention of "the dog days are 40 days" in the past 10 years and have become the shortest dog days in recent years. So how can we prevent heatstroke scientifically during these thirty days?
Before entering the dog days, we need to make the following preparations to ensure that we and our families spend the summer safely:
First, we need to prevent three airs. The three airs are heat, humidity and cold. What we need to do is to prevent heatstroke, dampness and cold.
• Heatstroke prevention: Heatstroke is the main air in summer and one of the six evils in traditional Chinese medicine. The sun is scorching during the dog days and the temperature is unbearable. Remember to prevent heatstroke and avoid it from hurting your body. In summer, you can mainly wear loose and breathable light-colored clothes, and try to avoid going out during the high temperature period from 2pm to 3pm.
• Moisture prevention: The dog days are the best time of the year to maintain health and the best time to remove dampness. The heat often carries a little dampness, which makes our body feel sleepy and weak, loss of appetite, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and diarrhea. In order to better remove dampness and regulate the body, we agree to sunbathe appropriately, and we can also massage and scrape to achieve the purpose of removing dampness and regulating the body.
• Cold prevention: We all have such a blind spot, that is, we only need to prevent heatstroke during the dog days, not cold prevention. You must know that the hot summer is unbearable, and we will eat a lot of cold drinks and inhale a lot of cold air in summer. Excessive greed for coolness may also cause our healthy body to be harmed by the cold invisibly.
How to eat healthy during the dog days? The dog days are about eating three meals, namely dumplings, noodles and pancakes.
• Dumplings in the first dog days: When we just enter the dog days, because of the high temperature, we are prone to loss of appetite, so it is very suitable to eat dumplings. Dumplings have many advantages. They can be used as staple food or side dishes. Dumpling fillings are also varied. You can add meat, eggs, and various vegetarian dishes. It can not only stimulate the appetite, but also supplement nutrition, killing two birds with one stone.
• Noodles in the second dog days: During the middle dog days, the heat reaches its peak, the body is easy to sweat, and electrolytes will be lost in large quantities. At this time, a bowl of soup noodles is not only conducive to sweating, removing the heat and moisture in our body, but also effectively supplement vitamins and avoid dehydration.
• Pancakes in the third dog days: The third dog days, that is, the last dog days, are also entering the final stage of the difficult dog days. The temperature has dropped slightly, and pancakes have become our favorite food. Pancakes with eggs and braised beef not only have dietary fiber but also vitamins. No one would doubt that pancakes are the most popular, right?
Of course, there are other health tips, such as drinking ginger tea, eating a light diet, taking a good nap, etc. The body is the capital of revolution. Take scientific heatstroke prevention and stay healthy. Let us happily spend the dog days of 2025 together.
