A healthy diet for thousands of years begins with envy of bees.

September 7th coincides with the Millennium solar terms. Autumn dryness consumes body fluids in the Millennium season, so it is necessary to prevent autumn dryness at this time. Low temperature in the morning and evening in autumn, coupled with dry air, can easily cause symptoms such as dry throat and dry cough. Therefore, moistening the lungs and reducing dryness in autumn will be the focus of diet health.

In diet, because the lung function is high in autumn, and eating too much spicy food will make the lung qi more vigorous and hurt the liver qi, so eat less spicy food in autumn diet. According to the five elements theory of traditional Chinese medicine, autumn belongs to gold, liver belongs to wood, and Jin Wang is wood, which damages the liver. On this basis, eat more sour food and replenish liver qi.

However, diabetics should not eat honey in their daily lives; The sour taste of vinegar has a stimulating effect on the stomach and is not suitable for patients with gastric ulcer and reflux gastritis.

In addition, the weather is changeable after the Millennium, especially the large temperature difference between morning and evening, which is easy to induce colds or lead to the recurrence of old diseases. If you are gluttonous and cold at this time, it will damage the yang of the spleen and stomach, especially those with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold should be taboo. Appropriate tonic can be made after the Millennium, but it is not suitable for big tonic. For people with physical weakness, it is best to replace drugs with food supplements at this time, and food supplements should be the first to push porridge.
