It’s the summer solstice again, and I’m so hot and annoyed that I’m late for work! There is a folk saying that "the summer solstice is not hot". If the Beginning of Summer is the beginning of hot summer, then the summer solstice is the "climax" of hot weather.

Fortunately, we also have "ice drinks", "ice watermelon", "water park"... "watermelon air conditioner and WiFi, the game is not allowed to criticize me", summer is a blatant " The season of indulgence.

At the same time, summer is also a season that people love and hate. We don’t like summer because of the heat. Heat is the evil of heat in summer. It is the main qi of summer and is transformed by heat. In addition, summer is also the peak season for various diseases, and the main cause is the heat evil.

The four seasons are impermanent. In fact, every season has external "evil energy" that can cause people to suffer from illness. "Huangdi Neijing" says: "Spring is injured by wind, summer is injured by heat, autumn is injured by dampness, and winter is injured by cold." The reason why we have these uncomfortable symptoms is "inseparable from the seasonal changes."

In each season, the weak parts of the body are different. Therefore, it is necessary to understand in advance what symptoms of discomfort are likely to occur in each season and which functions of the body are likely to deteriorate, and then choose food ingredients to supplement the body. Have the ability to defeat evil spirits.

When it comes to "medicinal diet" and "food supplements", in fact, it is not necessary to add any precious Chinese medicinal materials to the meal, but to choose suitable and favorite foods after considering the season, constitution and physical condition. Using natural ingredients to give changes to the three meals and help replenish the five internal organs is the correct way to start the "four-season health care".

"Spring nourishes the liver, summer nourishes the heart, autumn nourishes the lungs, winter nourishes the kidneys, and the four seasons nourish the spleen and stomach." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the five internal organs correspond to the natural four seasons, and our main organs should be maintained according to different seasons.

In a "wind evil season" with extremely unstable emotions, the five internal organs that are most likely to be injured - the liver, the recommended food color - green.

Spring brings an end to the long cold winter, and new buds break out of the ground. It is a season of growth. At the same time, the spring breeze is unpredictable, spreading widely, flying with the wind, and changing constantly. It is easy to feel uneasy at this time.

The liver is responsible for controlling blood flow and blood volume, and can promote digestive function, effectively metabolize water, and adjust the spirit. If the liver is weak, it can lead to emotional instability or depression.

It is a season of loss of water and vitality. It is also a "summer season" when the body and mind are exhausted and easily agitated. The five internal organs that are most easily injured - the heart, the recommended food colors - yellow and red.

The "heart" referred to in Chinese medicine is not just the heart, but also related to the brain and autonomic nervous system. The heart governs spirit and consciousness, and is responsible for blood production and circulation of blood throughout the body. Being nervous and unable to sleep, having many dreams, and having a bad complexion all mean that the heart function is weak.

In a "dry season" when the weather is dry and things are dry, the five internal organs that are most likely to be injured - the lungs - the recommended food color is white.

Although autumn means a good harvest, the autumn wind is dry and the air also dries out. As long as you inhale through the nose, the outside air will enter the lungs through the respiratory organs.

The lungs themselves are sensitive and fragile, and if they are invaded by external evil spirits, they are prone to uncomfortable symptoms such as dry skin or sore throat.

In a "shrinking" and "stiff" "cold evil season", the five internal organs that are most likely to be injured - the kidneys - the recommended food color is black.

Change

Winter is a season when nature is almost static. Cold will make people shrink up and not want to move, causing circulatory stagnation.

The kidney is called the "treasure house of vitality" and is responsible for reproduction, growth and development. "Innate energy" is the vitality extracted from here. The older you get, the more you need to take good care of your kidneys. Once the kidneys become weak, they will lead to aging.

In terms of food, those that can warm the body are positive, while those that lower body temperature are negative. For example, summer vegetables such as eggplant and bitter melon are negative ingredients.

Summer is full of yang energy, so you need to eat negative food to lower your body temperature; in winter, when yin energy is strong, you need to use yang food to raise your body temperature. This is a "battle" trying to reconcile with nature. Choosing the right ingredients is equivalent to half the battle.

In addition, when we choose ingredients with different properties, we can also take our current physical condition into consideration, which is more conducive to adjusting to a balanced state. For example, when you are restless and excited, your yang energy is strong at this time, so you need to take in negative food.

Nature and body, body and mind, only when all of the above are coordinated and smooth can we call it health and our ideal physical state.
