There are four seasons in a year, which are different climates and have different effects on human body. Thousands of years' experience of our ancestors in China tells us that we should adapt to the weather and the change of seasons. If you want to be healthy, you should also "adapt to the weather" in the diet of the four seasons.
Spring: In spring, the temperature gets warmer, but it's still relatively cold, the temperature difference is relatively large, and the consumption of body energy is relatively large, so the diet in spring should be mainly based on foods with high protein and high calorie, such as various meats, eggs, fish and shrimp. In most areas in spring, the humidity is heavy, so we should pay great attention to getting rid of the damp and cold in the diet, and should eat some spicy and warm food. In spring, the spleen and stomach are generally deficient in cold, so you must eat less sour and more sweet in your diet to regulate the balance of liver-qi in your body. In spring, bacteria and viruses multiply rapidly and do great harm to human body, so don't eat raw food in spring to avoid illness from the mouth.
Summer: In summer, the temperature is high and the air is stuffy, which makes people easily fidgety and have no appetite. Therefore, the diet in summer is mainly light, eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid greasy meat. Summer is the season when the human body's yang is the most exuberant. Diet should avoid warm food and avoid excess yang, which will hurt the spleen and stomach. People say "bitter summer". In summer, you should eat more bitter food, such as bitter gourd. Bitterness can clear away heat, detoxify and drive away dryness, and achieve the effect of strengthening the spleen.
autumn: dryness in autumn can easily cause cough, pneumonia and other diseases besides dry skin. The most important thing in autumn is to pay attention to moistening the lungs and driving away dryness, to be light in diet and to eat more fruits and vegetables. Autumn is suitable for eating more sour food, such as autumn fruit hawthorn, grapefruit, etc. Acid food is generally more effective in nourishing yin and moistening dryness.
Winter: In cold winter, people generally have a good appetite and like to eat meat, which has a great relationship with the stimulation of thyroid and adrenal gland secretion by low temperature. In winter, the human body needs more calories to resist the cold, so it is necessary to appropriately increase the high-calorie food and increase the intake of protein and fat in the winter diet. At the same time, winter is also relatively dry, and the intake of vitamins cannot be ignored. Vegetables and fruits should be eaten as much as possible. ?
