What traditional foods are eaten during the Mangzhong solar term

Ningbo people also eat Junta vegetables during the Mangzhong solar term. Traditionally, Junta vegetable is a seasonal vegetable that is on the market around the time of the Mangzhong solar term.

2. Green plums

In the south, May and June are the ripe seasons for plums. During the Three Kingdoms period, there was an allusion of "cooking green plums with wine to discuss heroes". Green plums contain a variety of natural high-quality organic acids and rich minerals, which can enhance the body's immunity. Many people like to eat green plums. One thing to note is that fresh green plums have a sour taste and are not easy to eat, so they need to be processed before they can be eaten.

3. Eggs

Eating eggs during the Ear solar term can not only withstand the test of "sun summer", but also bring a happy life. There is a custom of eating eggs during the Mangzhong solar term, which can prevent the common symptoms of bitter summer such as lack of appetite, tired body and limbs, and weight loss. Eggs are a common food in our lives and have the effect of replenishing qi and blood. One thing to note is that the yolk in eggs has relatively high calories, so you should not eat too much.

4. Tea

In order to welcome the Mangzhong solar term, there is also the custom of drinking tea during the Mangzhong solar term in Jiangxi, my country. It is said that drinking tea in the Mangzhong solar term can ensure that you will not feel sleepy throughout the summer. Drinking some tea appropriately can indeed keep you clear-headed, but it can be a bit difficult to ensure that you don't feel sleepy all summer long. Therefore, drinking tea when the rice fields are grown just represents people’s good wishes.

Matters needing attention in the health care of Miscanthus

1. The diet should be light

Health experts of all ages believe that the diet in summer should be light and tonic. From a nutritional perspective, a light diet plays an irreplaceable role in health preservation. People are also warned not to eat food that is too salty or too sweet. Eating too salty foods and excess sodium ions in the body can increase blood pressure and even cause cerebrovascular dysfunction. Eating too much sweets can easily lead to the accumulation of intermediate products such as sucrose, which can lead to hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia, and in severe cases can induce diabetes.

2. Prevent heatstroke and nourish the heart

During the Ear Grain season, the temperature gradually rises and the climate is hot, "heat easily enters the heart". Therefore, during this season, people should strengthen their heart care, especially the elderly, who should consciously take care of themselves mentally to maintain a state of refreshment and good mood. They should avoid being overjoyed, angry or depressed, so as not to be sad and hurt their body and mind.

3. Go to bed late and get up early

In terms of daily life, you should go to bed late and get up early, and receive appropriate sunlight exposure (avoid direct sunlight and pay attention to heatstroke prevention) to adapt to the abundance of Yang Qi. It is beneficial to the circulation of qi and blood and boosts the spirit. In summer, the days are long and the nights are short. Taking a nap at noon can help recover from fatigue and is beneficial to health. After the Ear Grain, it is hot at noon and people tend to sweat, so clothes should be washed and changed frequently.

4. Clothes should be washed frequently

After the Ear Grain, it is hot at noon and people tend to sweat, so clothes should be washed and changed frequently. In order to avoid heat stroke, you should take a bath frequently after planting. This can make the skin loose and the "yang heat" can be easily vented. But one thing to note is that you should not take a shower immediately when you sweat. There is an old saying in China, "You will not see moisture when you sweat." If "you will see moisture when you sweat, you will get acne."

5. Medicinal baths to prevent diseases

After the Ear Grain, it is hot and you sweat a lot. At this time, you should take frequent baths. Frequent medicated baths will have better health effects. The so-called medicated bath is to add appropriate Chinese herbal medicine soup or infusion to the bath water, or directly use the decoction, use steam bathing method or fumigation to wash the whole body or diseased parts, so as to achieve the purpose of fitness and disease prevention. There are many methods of medicated bathing, the commonly used ones are immersion bath, fumigation bath, and hot compress. For health care, immersion bath is the main method.

6. Exercise

During the awn season, there is a lot of rainfall and high air humidity, which aggravates the dampness in the human body. Coupled with the increase in temperature, the sweat in the human body is not excreted smoothly, and the human body's yang energy is suppressed, making people prone to sleepiness, malaise, and laziness. At this time, in addition to going to bed late and getting up early, and eating a light diet, you should also exercise appropriately to facilitate the circulation of qi and blood.
