After beginning of autumn, you should eat less fruit. The folk proverb "Autumn melons are bad for the stomach" means that if beginning of autumn continues to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables raw in the future, it will easily lead to gastrointestinal diseases. Eat less spicy, fried, strong liquor and dried puffed food, because these foods are prone to dryness and heat, and it is useless to eat too much.

After beginning of autumn, Yang declined and Yin rose, and nature began to change from growth to collection. According to the principle of four seasons, yin qi is nourished in autumn and winter. Autumn is dry, qi dryness hurts the lungs, and lung qi deficiency reduces the body's tolerance to bad stimuli and is prone to diseases, so it is necessary to moisten dryness, nourish yin and moisten the lungs.

Eat more sour food, less spicy food, help liver qi, and eat more foods that calm the liver and moisten the lungs, such as lily, lotus root, potato, radish, fungus, yam, lentil, medlar, tremella, pork, duck, chicken, rabbit, peanut, eel, crucian carp, yellow croaker, grapefruit, pear, apple and so on.

Autumn is a season suitable for tonic, but we should choose products that are "dry and not greasy", such as pumpkin, lotus seeds, longan, black sesame, red dates and walnuts.
