Yam: The most suitable food for autumn tonic is yam. Yam not only has the reputation of "the food of the gods", but also has the dual functions of food and medicine. It is a traditional Chinese medicine in itself, and it is also an important ingredient commonly used by Chinese medicine to make medicated diet. Chinese medicine believes that eating yam in autumn has rich effects such as tonifying kidney and essence, strengthening stomach and spleen, benefiting lung and relieving cough. Because yam contains amylase, polyphenol oxidase and other effective substances, it can promote the digestion and absorption of the spleen and stomach, and it is also rich in various proteases, which can prevent blood lipids from depositing on the blood vessel wall and forming thrombus, and has a good effect on preventing cardiovascular diseases, especially for the elderly.

Astragalus membranaceus: mild in nature, sweet in taste, and the best for invigorating qi, especially for lung deficiency. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lung governs the outside, and lung qi deficiency leads to spontaneous sweating, which is easy to catch a cold. Ben Feng Jingyuan thinks that Astragalus enters the lungs, showing deficiency and sweating. "Ying Bencao" also said: Qi on the muscle surface should be supplemented by Astragalus membranaceus. For people with lung deficiency and unstable body surface, it is quite appropriate to use red dates instead of tea and decoct with water.
