Hello everyone, I am Xiaoyu Vegetarian. The autumnal equinox will be here in two days, and the weather is getting colder and colder, especially in the north where the temperature difference between morning and evening is even greater. You have to wear a thick coat when going out in the morning, and you can feel the crisp autumn weather. So when autumn comes, how should we adjust our diet to help us survive the autumn safely? Let me share it with you next.

After the white dew, autumn begins. At this time, the temperature is not too low, and the dryness at this time is "warm dry". At the autumnal equinox, the temperature drops even more, the temperature difference between morning and evening is greater, and there is a hint of coolness during the day. The dryness at this time is "cool dryness". Therefore, diet also needs to be adjusted. You should eat more nourishing and refreshing foods during the Autumn Equinox. For example, lotus root, white fungus, yam, lotus seeds, etc.

According to the five elements, autumn belongs to "gold" and its nature is convergent. The corresponding color is white, so you should eat more white and sour foods. Sour food can stimulate the secretion of human body fluids, achieve the effects of cooling and moisturizing, promoting body fluids and quenching thirst. For example, hawthorn, a seasonal fruit in autumn, is very suitable for eating.

Because of the astringent nature of autumn, you should eat less food with particularly strong flavors, such as various greasy and spicy foods. These are divergent, and eating them in autumn is more likely to cause dryness and other discomforts. reaction, which is harmful to the human body.
