Dietary knowledge: cold weather in late spring, knowledge of strengthening the foundation and preventing flu (1)

Late spring cold refers to a phenomenon that the temperature rises rapidly in early spring, but suddenly there is continuous low temperature weather in late spring. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this kind of climate, which is suddenly warm and cold, and has a large temperature difference between day and night, can easily lead to various exogenous diseases.

To prevent exogenous diseases, we should not only keep warm and prevent colds, but also add garlic, onion, celery, ginger and onion to our diet. Chinese medicine believes that these "washed" foods are pungent and warm, and have the functions of dispelling cold and resisting exogenous diseases.
