Pay attention to "balance" in diet after the autumnal equinox, add more water and eat more fruits and vegetables. Because lung injury in autumn is easy to cause dryness of pharynx, nose and lips, it is necessary to converge lung qi and not let lung qi diverge, resulting in imbalance of yin and yang in the body. The autumnal equinox diet "should be harvested rather than scattered", and sour and moist food can play the role of "harvesting" and can be eaten often.
