Every year around August 23rd, it is the solar term of summertime, and summertime is a solar term reflecting the temperature change. "Chu" means hiding and ending, and "Chu Xia" means that the hot summer day is over. After the summer heat, although the summer heat has been exhausted, the moisture in summer has not been completely eliminated. Our diet should focus on invigorating qi and eliminating dampness, and send away the moisture trapped in the human body, not only to replenish the temper, but also to replenish the kidney.

In our daily life, it is often said that "we should eat according to the season", because every solar term has corresponding food, and vegetables are no exception. During 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 for invigorating qi and eliminating dampness, often eating and strengthening the body, and spending the autumn safely.

The first kind-cowpea.

Cowpea is a kind of vegetable that we often eat. The first batch of cowpea has gone out of the market, but the second batch of cowpea in autumn is on the market.

When food accumulates, flatulence or burps, take a proper amount of cowpea, chew it carefully and swallow it, which has a good relieving effect.
