In two days, we will enter the summer solar term in 24 solar terms, and summer belongs to the fifth solar term. "Summer" stands for heat, which means slight heat. Summer is hotter than the previous solar terms, but not very hot. The summer heat is a long summer, and the summer heat is also heavy. At this time, diet and health care should pay attention to clearing away heat, relieving summer heat and eliminating dampness.
