What are the customs of the summer solstice solar terms, and how to eat and keep healthy?

The diet should be light, eat more miscellaneous grains, eat more fresh vegetables, hot fruits in summer and some foods that can relieve summer heat, invigorate qi, promote fluid production and quench thirst, such as tomatoes, watermelons, bayberry, melons, strawberries, peaches, plums, noodles, mung beans, adzuki beans, Chinese cabbage, celery, loofah, mung bean sprouts, wax gourd, carrots, bitter gourd, pork, chicken, duck and rabbit meat.

Eat a small amount of food, chew slowly, and don't be too full. Because the summer climate is hot, people's digestive function is relatively weak, so it takes time to adapt.

Because with the arrival of this high temperature season, the human body's metabolism is more vigorous, which will consume a lot of sweat, hurt body fluids and be prone to heatstroke. Therefore, lotus leaf, coix seed, lentil, lotus seed, lily, Polygonatum odoratum, Adenophora adenophora, yam, Ophiopogon japonicus and asparagus can be used in Chinese herbal medicines.
