Eating habits in summer

1, is it sour or not? Sour taste has the effect of moistening lung and converging, and what is needed in autumn is to protect lung yin. So don't eat or eat less spicy barbecue food at this time, including pepper, pepper, cinnamon, ginger, onion, wine, especially ginger. These foods are hot and lose a lot of water during cooking, so they are easy to get angry after eating. Especially after the summer heat, the weather begins to dry, which will aggravate the harm of autumn dryness to human body.

2. Eat "fruit" instead of "melon". Some delicious melons are mostly yin cold, and eating too much will damage the spleen and stomach, so enough is enough. But some fruits can be eaten more. For example, pears can moisten the lungs, resolve phlegm and relieve cough, which is the most recommended fruit in autumn. Apple is rich in vitamins and potassium, which is not only beneficial to patients with cardiovascular diseases, but also can stop diarrhea.

3, eat less spicy and light. In midsummer, due to the gradual dryness of the climate, many people will feel dry throat and dry skin when they get up in the morning. Even if they drink a large glass of water, it is difficult to quench their thirst. This phenomenon is often called "autumn dryness". At this time, we should eat less spicy food and more light food.

4. Eat while it is hot, not cold. The weather is changeable, maybe it is still hot at noon, and it is extremely cold in the afternoon and evening. Therefore, in the solar term of summer, we should not only keep warm, but also pay attention to diet. Don't eat too much cold food. Because autumn is coming, it is easy to get some common diseases at this time, so in diet, it is best to eat more warm food, which is very good for your health.

5, moderate intake of high-quality protein. Protein is the foundation of human life, so we should ensure the full intake of high-quality protein in summer or autumn. For example, eggs, lean meat, fish, dairy products and bean products. Autumn is a special period for increasing fluid and nourishing body fluid, so supplementing appropriate amount of protein can improve immunity.
