Today is summer
At 23: 44 on August 22, 2020, the cool summer is finally coming.
Summer, summer. . . As a serious autumn solar term, it is often mistaken for a summer solar term because of the word "summer"
Because "summer" is always associated with summer.
Actually, "Chu" means to stop.
The arrival of the summer heat means that we will finally bid farewell to the summer heat.
As usual, three times in summer.
The first eagle is a sacrificial bird.
The ancients thought that although the eagle was fierce, it was a very spiritual bird. The eagle would feel the chill of autumn first and start hunting.
It is said that before eating, it will show its prey just like humans sacrifice ancestors and heaven and earth.
Waiting for the beginning of heaven and earth.
What is the beginning of heaven and earth?
See when the leaves grow and fall, and you will know.
Why do leaves grow in spring?
Because the sun be the spirit grows from the ground, spring has come.
Why do leaves turn yellow and fall to the ground in autumn?
Because the soul of the sun began to sink. . . Fall to the ground
Yang qi can fall, relying on the cold of gold and autumn.
The ancients often said: there are four seasons in the sky, and you have four strategies. If the four strategies are four seasons, so is the general class.
Four seasons-spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Four policies-celebration, reward, punishment and punishment
The so-called "ask after autumn" is nothing more than a chilling response to the weather.

People often say that they are busy cutting grain for more than ten days in summer.
All kinds of rice, millet and wheat are ripe.
The eagle began to look for food.
The chill of heaven and earth is getting stronger.
The leaves began to turn yellow and the soul of the sun began to sink.
The rice is getting heavier and heavier.
Summer is really autumn.
Do you feel it?
Although it is still very hot at noon.
The temperature difference between day and night began to increase.
But in the wind blowing at night
Finally, there is a hint of coolness.
So, how to keep fit in summer?
The following three rules are suitable for all ages. You are welcome to take them.
First of all, don't worry that the summer heat will increase the autumn fat.
After the summer vacation last year, my clinic will be busier and there will be more children hoarding food.
After the summer heat, the summer heat begins to fade, and the appetite of adults and children will be better than before-they want to eat, but at the same time, because it is a bitter summer ahead, the spleen and stomach are still weak.
I have a little appetite while my spleen and stomach are still weak.
Therefore, children are more likely to accumulate food after the high temperature in summer.
Can you blindly stick autumn fertilizer at this time?
It is important to want to eat, and it is more important to be able to eat.
Some children have a fever because they eat too much food after the cold weather, and as a result, they get sick, cough and catch a cold for an autumn.
At this time, it is better to eat some foods that clear away heat, promote diuresis and strengthen the spleen, which can regulate the spleen and stomach and expel the evil of damp heat in the body, and at the same time promote the recovery of the spleen and stomach to prepare for the winter.
Second, pay attention to warm and dry, first nourish yin and moisten the lungs.
The temperature in Shanghai dropped below 25 degrees the summer before last, but what about this year?
It is said that this will be the hottest day in August in history.
Although it is not summer, I will sweat and lose water in the hot noon. . . Warm dryness sometimes hurts body fluids and lungs more than cold dryness, so many people will have symptoms such as dry eyes, dry nose, dry throat, dry mouth, dry skin, dry hair and dry stool after summer heat.
At this time, I suggest you use lily, lotus seed, coix seed, glehnia littoralis and Polygonatum odoratum to stew the soup. If there is no meat, you can directly boil water with autumn pears and radishes.
Chinese medicine believes that radish can eliminate food stagnation (eat too much) and eliminate phlegm (eat too much fish and it will produce phlegm).
It can also help digestion (so eating radish can fart)
Our autumn pear cream contains Polygonatum odoratum, lily and radish. One helps digestion, one clears away heat and strengthens the spleen, and the third nourishes the lungs and moistens dryness.
After the summer heat, if you want to stick on autumn fertilizer, you should go around to roast leg of lamb, try Yuzhu lotus root soup, yam melon ribs soup and so on, which will nourish yin and moisten dryness a lot.
Third, beware of allergic diseases after summer heat.
The autumn wind swept away the leaves, and in the second half of the year, Yangming spring was dry and golden, and the autumn wind was chilly.
Especially after the summer heat, the temperature difference between morning and evening widens, if the spleen and stomach are weak, the defensive qi is insufficient and the lung qi is weak. . . Can induce allergic rhinitis, cough, asthma, urticaria.
That is to say, western medicine has weak immunity and is easily attacked by common cold, which leads to the recurrence of allergic diseases.
Want to prevent?
One is the law of diet and daily life, and the other is to strengthen the spleen and produce gold, and enhance lung function. Remember that lungs are moist, which is better for the lungs.
Finally, I want to remind you that from the perspective of the five elements, autumn should be in the lungs, corresponding to sadness.
After the summer heat, the leaves turn yellow and the autumn wind gradually rises, and there will be a scene of cold weather. Especially in the year of Gengzi this year, Geng is strong gold, and people are prone to negative emotions.
All kinds of offsetting conflicts will exist.
The second half of this year will be really harder.
Sometimes you have to have it in your life.
Don't stick to it all the time in life
I hope everyone can adjust their mentality in time, pay attention to convergence, calm and calm. This is the best way to nourish the lungs and keep fit.
