Chinese traditional medicine believes that the spleen has the function of transporting water and dampness, which is very important for the provision of human nutrition. The long summer belongs to the spleen in the five internal organs, and the light summer season is long summer, so the light summer is a good time to nourish the spleen. Nutrition experts point out that people can make good use of Ejiao in summer to nourish yin and moisten dryness, protect spleen and soothe the nerves, so today's old calendar will introduce you.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the muscles and limbs of the human body rely on qi, blood, body fluid and other substances for nutrition, and the source of these nutrients depends on the spleen. When the spleen cannot provide the nutrients needed by the muscles of the limbs, it will suffer from diseases such as soft tissue strain. Spleen likes dryness and hates dampness, but the summer season is long in summer, and the biggest feature of long summer is that the humidity is too heavy, so people should pay attention to eliminating dampness and nourishing spleen in their daily diet.

Under such circumstances, Ejiao can be said to be the most suitable tonic. Ejiao has the function of nourishing yin and moistening dryness, and yin refers to "blood" and "body fluid". Ejiao can nourish yin, help kidney nourish water, regulate body fluids, and maintain the balance of yin and yang in human body, thus helping the spleen to reduce the workload, making the body easily resist the dampness in long summer and protecting the health of the spleen.

While nourishing yin and moistening dryness, supplementing body fluid and qi and blood, Ejiao, walnuts, sesame seeds and yellow wine are made into glue paste to eat, which has the effects of calming the nerves and caring skin. The long summer is long, and the body's internal heat rises, which is the most likely to affect sleep. At this time, glue paste has become a good product for sleeping and resting. In ancient China, the royal aristocrats liked to make glue paste with donkey-hide gelatin, sesame seeds and walnuts as snacks, which not only satisfied the enjoyment of taste buds, but also could nourish and soothe the nerves, enrich blood and beautify the face.
