What traditional food do you eat in long summer?

The three flavors of long summer are also called "eating three flavors in long summer" or "seeing three new things in long summer" Three chords are generally divided into "three chords of the earth", "three chords of the tree" and "three chords of the water". The three fresh plants are broad bean, amaranth and cucumber (amaranth, broad bean and garlic sprout). There are few cherries, loquats and apricots (once said plums, apricots and cherries). The three kinds of fresh water are conch, puffer fish and shad (shad, pomfret and yellow croaker).

After the long summer, the dietary principle is "nourishing yang in spring and summer", and nourishing yang focuses on nourishing the heart, which can not only supplement nutrition, but also strengthen the heart. Eating more vegetables, fruits and coarse grains at ordinary times can increase the supply of cellulose, vitamins B and C and prevent arteriosclerosis.

In the long summer, the solar terms are hot and the air pressure is low, so people's resistance will drop and they will easily catch a cold. If a cold is infected with streptococcus, it may lead to acute nephritis. So don't be greedy for cold, and don't eat foods that are too irritating, such as cold drinks.
