"Summer 99 Climate Song" said: "1929, Fan never left his hand; 3927, snow water is as sweet as honey; 4936, sweating like rain; 5945, dancing in autumn leaves; 6954, enjoy the cool and not enter the temple; 7963, go to bed to find sheets; 8972, consider covering the quilt; 998 1 year, every family plays charcoal sticks. " During the summer solstice before the Qing Dynasty, civil and military officials had to take a three-day vacation, go home to reunite with relatives and drink to escape the heat, which was called a "summer break".
Eating jiaozi, pancakes and noodles can supplement protein and B vitamins. In summer, when the temperature is high and you sweat a lot, you will lose a lot of protein amino acids, B vitamins and minerals such as potassium and sodium. Eating noodles is more conducive to supplementing nutrition and contributing to health. Students should master three points: sweet and sour, fresh, invigorating qi and removing fire.
"summer heat and dampness should be supplemented." It's very hot in dog days. People like cold drinks and drink a lot of water, which makes moisture invade the human body, while external moisture enters the body, which makes the water wet and strengthen the spleen, which makes the spleen and stomach rise and fall, causing digestive dysfunction, stagnant water and loss of appetite. According to the viewpoint of TCM health preservation, dryness and dampness in summer are very unfavorable to spleen, and summer diet should eat more sweet or cold. And in summer, you return to your heart, but your heart likes cold and wants to eat sour, so you should eat more sour in summer.
From summer to the future, the dietary principle is "nourishing yang in spring and summer", and nourishing yang focuses on "nourishing the heart". You can drink more milk and eat more soy products, chicken and lean meat. It can not only supplement nutrition, but also achieve the effect of strengthening the heart.
In addition to a light diet during the summer solstice, you can also eat more bitter vegetables, such as bitter gourd and coriander. Bitter food has the functions of eliminating dampness, cooling and relieving summer heat, promoting diuresis and blood circulation, relieving fatigue, diminishing inflammation and reducing fever, clearing away heart fire and improving eyesight, and stimulating appetite. However, bitter food is cold, although it can clear away heat and purge fire, but it belongs to purging fire food, so it is not suitable for people with weak constitution, otherwise it will aggravate the condition.
