Around August 23rd every year, it is the solar term of the summer solstice, which reflects the temperature change. "Chu" means to hide and die, and "early summer" means that the hot summer has passed. After the summer heat, although the summer heat has been exhausted, the moisture in summer has not been completely eliminated. Our diet should be based on invigorating qi and eliminating dampness, and send away the moisture trapped in the human body, which not only tonifies the temper, but also tonifies the kidney.
In our daily life, it is often said that "we should eat in season", because every solar term has its own food, and vegetables are no exception. In the summer solar term, there are three kinds of seasonal vegetables that are more suitable for this season. These three kinds of vegetables are recommended to everyone, which can replenish qi and eliminate dampness, keep fit and spend the autumn safely.
The first kind-cowpea.
Cowpea is a vegetable that we often eat. The first batch of cowpeas has been on the market, but the second batch of cowpeas has been on the market in autumn. The first advantage of eating cowpea is to strengthen the spleen and stomach. When food accumulates, flatulence or burps, take a proper amount of cowpea, chew it carefully and swallow it, which has a good relieving effect. The second benefit of cowpea is tonifying kidney, which has a good auxiliary effect on people with kidney deficiency, renal failure, frequent urination and nocturnal emission.
