After the summer solstice, the rainy season comes, and the water in the body also increases. Dampness and heat are characterized by heavy limbs and fever, especially in the afternoon, and sweating is not relieved. When damp heat invades the body, it is eczema or furuncle on the skin, local swelling and pain of joint tendons, damp heat of spleen and stomach, damp heat of liver and gallbladder, such as swelling and pain of liver, bitter taste, anorexia, yellow body and yellow eyes. At this time, we should pay attention to the pros and cons of diet.

First, less "hot and humid" products. Roasted duck and goose are "wet", so it is advisable to eat less of these foods in rainy days. Garlic, pepper, mustard and pepper may also help damp heat grow in the body. In addition, when cooking, the oil temperature is too high, which will also make the food grow hot and humid. Vegetables, kale, onions and leeks can also grow hot and humid. Among meat, beef, mutton and dog meat are "closer" to damp heat.

The second is to eat some foods that get rid of "damp heat". Foods suitable for eliminating "damp heat" in rainy season include peanut oil, rapeseed oil, millet oil, pumpkin, poria cocos, shepherd's purse, day lily, lettuce, wax gourd, crucian carp, adzuki bean, coix seed and corn.
