Eat more white foods in autumn

To nourish the lungs in autumn, it is best to eat more white foods such as white pears, white radish, lily, lotus root, and white fungus. According to the Five Elements Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water correspond to the five internal organs of the liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, and the five colors of green, red, yellow, white, and black. The lungs and white both belong to gold, and white corresponds to the lungs. Therefore, eating white food regularly can have a lung-nourishing effect.

In addition to playing an important role in the treatment of diseases, white radish is also a popular vegetable in autumn and winter. Li Shizhen, a medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, once praised radish: "It can be eaten raw or cooked, it can be cooked, it can be cooked, it can be used as soy sauce, it can be vinegared, it can be used as rice", and it is "the most beneficial among vegetables".
