spring

It is necessary to master a principle: according to the temperature change, food will gradually change from warm tonic and sweet to light nourishing yin.

In early spring, the diet should be warm to avoid cold. In early spring, you should eat some vegetables and wild vegetables such as bamboo shoots, Toona sinensis, spinach, willow buds, shepherd's purse, onion, ginger, garlic, leek, mustard greens, etc., and you should not blindly eat warm supplements such as ginseng, so as to avoid the gradual rise of spring temperature, aggravate the internal heat of the body and damage the healthy qi of the human body; Should eat less cucumber, wax gourd, eggplant, mung bean and other cold foods.

summer

It is the season when the yang is the most abundant, and it is also the time when the metabolism of the human body is the most vigorous. The body sweats too much and it is easy to lose body fluids. Therefore, in summer, health care should be based on light food to avoid hurting body fluids and consuming gas.

What a light diet in summer. In summer, people's digestive function of spleen and stomach is relatively weak, so they should eat some foods that clear away heat and toxic materials, such as chrysanthemum, celery, Chinese cabbage, coriander, bitter gourd, bamboo shoots, cucumber and wax gourd. Fish, such as herring, crucian carp, silver carp, etc., these foods can play a role in clearing away heat and relieving fatigue, and have a certain preventive effect on Chinese medicine and intestinal diseases.

We should also moderately "freeze in autumn", don't rush to add more clothes, and pay attention to cold-resistant exercise to enhance the adaptability of the body to weather changes.

Moistening diet: The climate in autumn is characterized by dryness, which is the main qi in autumn. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs are delicate and dirty, and they like to moisten and hate dryness. However, dryness is the most likely to attack the lungs, hurting body fluids and consuming fluids, which makes people suffer from so-called "autumn dryness" such as dry nose, dry throat, hoarse cough and dry stool. Therefore, in order to prevent dryness and evil, it is advisable to eat more foods that produce fluid and increase fluid in autumn, such as sesame seeds, pears, lotus roots, bananas, apples, tremella, lilies, persimmons, olives, duck meat, pig lungs, turtles, turtles, honey, vegetables, etc., in order to moisten the lungs, and it is advisable to eat less or not eat any foods that are spicy, spicy, fried, smoked and fried.
