Why is it called autumn tiger?

It's still very hot in autumn because this weather is very uncomfortable. As fierce as a tiger. During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, a man named Lu Gu wrote a book called Jia Qinglu. The description of the "July" solar terms in beginning of autumn in the book is like this: "Facing beginning of autumn, whistling past; Beginning of autumn night, hot bang ".

Later, there was a saying among the people: beginning of autumn is cool in the morning (daytime) or at night, and beginning of autumn will be cool in the morning (daytime); If it is beginning of autumn at night, it will be very hot. From then on, anyone who meets beginning of autumn and the weather is still hot is called "autumn tiger".

Until now, beginning of autumn has been called a tigress at night and a male tiger during the day. It is easy to compare beginning of autumn to a tigress at night because the tigress is so powerful that even the male tiger hides far away.

Measures to deal with autumn tigers:

First of all, food for clearing away heat and relieving summer heat cannot be removed from the table at once. Generally speaking, this diet can prevent heatstroke, stop sweating and rehydrate, and also stimulate appetite. Therefore, drinking some mung bean soup or eating lotus seed porridge and mint porridge is very beneficial. Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables can not only meet the needs of the human body, but also supplement the potassium lost through perspiration.

Second, the cold diet should be reduced. After a long trip to Xia Hou, people's physical exertion is very high, especially some elderly people, most of whom have weak spleen and stomach. So when choosing food, it should not be too cold.

Third, dietary nutrition should be strengthened. You can't make your diet too light just to clear away heat and relieve summer heat. In fact, when you come in early autumn, you can eat meat properly. Many foods, such as ducks, loaches, fish, lean pork and seafood, can not only remove the heat in summer, but also nourish you, so you can eat them with confidence.
