1. Cooking Huangmei

Before and after mango seeds, it is the rainy season in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Huangmei is ripe at this time. Because Huangmei is sour, it is not convenient to eat directly, so it needs to be processed before eating. Therefore, many farmers in this area have the custom of cooking plums with mango seeds.

2. Flower Festival

In some areas in the south of the Yangtze River, there is also the custom of holding a "flower party" on the day of ear planting. The local people believe that it is summer after the awn is planted, the flowers wither and the flower god abdicates, so it is necessary to arrange various gifts for the flower god to see him off. Some people hang flowers on silk to show off. Cao Xueqin wrote in the 27th chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions: "On this day, those girls, either making sedan chairs with petals and willow branches, or making thousands of floors with brocade gauze, were tied up with colored threads. These things are tied to every tree and every flower. The embroidered ribbons in the garden are fluttering, and the flowers in bloom fall. " "Dry" in "Dry Architecture"

The secret of mango seed health care

Prevent dampness and nourish the heart and lungs

At this time, the temperature rises, the air is humid and sultry, and the south enters the rainy season, and the heart load gradually increases. Patients with heart disease should stay up less to avoid nervousness.

You can also eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis, such as barley, yam, white lentils and japonica rice porridge.

Clothes should be washed often.

Going to bed late and getting up early properly receives sunlight (avoid direct sunlight, pay attention to heatstroke prevention), which is in line with yang filling, is conducive to qi and blood circulation, and invigorates the spirit. After the awn is planted, it is hot at noon, people are prone to sweating, and clothes should be washed and changed frequently.

But it should be noted that don't take a shower immediately when sweating. There is an old saying in China, "You can't see wet when you sweat". If you "can't see wet when you sweat, you will get acne."

At the same time, avoid greasy, sticky, sour and spicy food, such as glutinous rice, fried food, sea fish and sweets. Use supplements with caution. Don't eat ginseng, Cordyceps sinensis, Placenta Hominis, velvet antler isothermal supplements when you have a fever, and don't eat mutton or dog meat.

Cure winter diseases in summer

Treating winter diseases in summer is an important viewpoint of traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that diseases that often occur in winter must pay attention to the living habits and behaviors related to these pathogenic factors in summer, so as to achieve the purpose of prevention. For example, patients with joint pain, numbness of limbs and other diseases, it is best not to wear shorts, take a cold bath or swim, sleep on the floor or sleep outdoors in summer, so as to avoid the accumulation of cold moisture in the meridians. Patients with chronic bronchitis, asthma and stomach pain due to deficiency of cold should not eat more cold drinks in their diet except the above matters.
