It is very good to eat some mutton in summer, because eating mutton in summer is to heat the body, sweat and detoxify, and drive away the poison and moisture in winter and spring.
Especially for women, eating some mutton in summer is very nourishing. Because women generally exercise less than men, they are physically feminine, and the yang is congenitally insufficient, so their basal metabolism is lower than that of men, and their blood circulation is slower than that of men, especially at the extremities. Because they are far from the heart (which is considered to be a fire by Chinese medicine), the yang is lacking and their blood circulation is poor, and they are prone to cold waist, back, hands and feet, stomachache, indigestion and limb weakness.
However, eating mutton also scores physical fitness. Some people have a cold constitution, and they can eat mutton in summer without any discomfort. For most people, especially those who always stay in air-conditioned rooms and love cold drinks, eating some mutton is also an option in dog days. People who are hot should not eat more, and mutton is rich in protein, and some people will be allergic if they eat too much.
