Tomb-Sweeping Day qi diet health

During the Qingming period, the diet should be sour, sweet and spicy, and it is not advisable to eat spicy and hot mutton, dog meat, liquor and other foods to prevent fire and help Yang. You can eat more ingredients with the functions of strengthening the spleen, promoting diuresis, clearing away the liver and nourishing the liver, such as shepherd's purse, yam, lentils, medlar, red dates, bergamot, chrysanthemums and roses.

Because there is much rain and high humidity in Tomb-Sweeping Day, we should pay attention to choose some foods that warm the stomach and remove dampness, such as Chinese cabbage, radish and taro. Chinese medicine believes that Qingming is the season of rising liver yang, and it is not suitable to eat bamboo shoots, pickles, chicken, marine fish and other "hair".
