During the rain, people often feel mentally tired, sleepy and sleepy, this time is particularly suitable for drinking rain tea (especially green tea). The so-called valley rain tea, refers to the valley rain season picking spring tea, also known as two spring tea. Ming Dynasty Xu Zishu in the "tea sparse" talked about the tea season: "Qingming is too early, too late in the summer, before and after the rain, the time is right." "Shennong Materia Medica" recorded: "Guyu tea, long service peace of mind and benefit gas ...... light body not old", Guyu tea is rich in a variety of vitamins and amino acids, can clear heat and humidity, turbid wake up God, smooth human qi, sweeping fatigue and tiredness symptoms.

Fifteen days before and after the rain and the last three days of the Qingming, the spleen is in a period of prosperity, this time the appetite is easy to become good, can be appropriate light supplement, but should not be too. Chinese medicine will be natural food and natural herbs, according to the color, divided into five categories, respectively, green (green), red (red), yellow, white, black, these colors are also associated with the body's internal organs. These colors are also associated with the internal organs of the human body. Among them, yellow color enters the spleen. The so-called "into" means to enter, nutrition, yellow food, can nourish the spleen. In addition to the theory of the five colors, Chinese medicine also has the theory of the five flavors, which are sour, bitter, sweet, pungent and salty. Among them, sweet is into the spleen. Chinese medicine believes that: "spring should save acid and increase sweet, in order to nourish the spleen qi." Diet is best to eat less spicy and sour, liver is easy to damage the spleen and stomach, it is best to avoid acid. Dietary regimen to cast their internal organs, slightly sweet more appropriate, such as yams, lilies, fungus and so on. The most important thing to remember is that it's a good thing that you're a good person and you're not a good person.
