Saving acid and increasing sweetness is the principle of Chinese medicine in summer diet, which is wrong.

Save acid and increase sweetness to nourish temper:

Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, said, "Save acid and increase sweetness in spring to nourish temper", which means that when spring comes, people should eat less sour food and eat more sweet food, which has the advantage of invigorating the spleen and stomach.

Chinese medicine believes that sour taste enters the liver and has astringency, which is not conducive to the generation of yang qi and the release of liver qi.

In addition, if the liver qi rises too much or stagnates, it is easy to attack the spleen and soil, causing dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, while the sweet taste can replenish deficiency and invigorate the qi of the spleen and stomach, such as jujube, yam and honey. It should be noted that sweetness refers to lightness and sweetness, and excessively sweet and greasy food hinders the transportation of spleen and stomach.

Precautions:

In Meng Chun in the first month, the weather is warm and cold at first, the yang is abundant, the yin is still strong, and the temperature is still unstable, so it is easy to feel exogenous pathogens and induce various infectious diseases, so the physique is poor. In terms of diet, it is advisable to eat products that strengthen the stomach and warm the spleen. For example, jujube porridge can tonify the spleen and strengthen the stomach, and help the healthy qi. Ginger porridge can dispel the cold and warm the stomach and drive away the cold evil in early spring.

In the middle of February, when spring is in full bloom, the spring breeze is strong, wind pathogens are easy to invade the human body, and symptoms such as cough, asthma and sore throat appear, so you should pay attention to keep warm. Patients with chronic stomach diseases are prone to symptoms such as fullness, pain, nausea, vomiting, etc. They should be nursed by light diet, and can choose sweet products such as carrot porridge and shepherd's purse porridge.
