Chinese medicine believes that the warming of the earth during the Qingming period means that the fresh air rises, that is, the sky is high and the earth is bright, and the diet at this time focuses on cleansing.
Tomb-Sweeping Day's "Three Don't Eat"
1
Hair, stop eating.
With the acceleration of temperature rise, the weather becomes windy and dry, and people are prone to get angry during Qingming period. Eating spicy and greasy food at this time may aggravate the symptoms of getting angry and cause discomfort.
Many spicy, greasy and irritating foods are commonly called "hair products". If the body has a "chronic disease", eating hair products during this time will easily lead to the recurrence of old diseases.
When the peach blossoms bloom in the Qingming Festival, there are still many people who are prone to skin allergies. Eating greasy food at this time will aggravate the symptoms, so you must resist it again.

Out-of-season ingredients, do not eat.
Tomb-Sweeping Day is also the season when winter storage ingredients have to be sold quickly, such as potatoes, cabbage and pickles. After a winter's storage, some of these foods have undergone internal changes, and improperly preserved ingredients may have gone moldy and deteriorated. Don't buy and eat such ingredients cheaply!
People in China pay attention to "not eating from time to time". There are abundant seasonal ingredients in the market during the Qingming Festival. Eating more light and delicious seasonal ingredients is much more beneficial to your health than eating some out-of-season ingredients.

Eat raw and cold food carefully.
Tomb-Sweeping Day is also called "Cold Food Festival", and some places still keep the habit of forbidding fire and eating cold food in Tomb-Sweeping Day.
However, this practice is not desirable, because cold food hurts the stomach, damages the yang of the human body, hurts the spleen and helps dampness, which is not conducive to the transport and transformation of dampness.
During the Qingming period, it is not advisable to eat more foods with heavy moisture, cold and spleen, and pay attention to proper diet to protect the normal function of the spleen and stomach. Therefore, for people with poor stomach and weak constitution, marine fish, shrimp, crab and mutton should be carefully eaten.
Tomb-Sweeping Day's "Three Eating"
1
Fresh fruits and vegetables should be eaten in season.
During this time, the variety of seasonal ingredients on the market is becoming more and more abundant. People in Tomb-Sweeping Day should also eat these seasonal ingredients. It is better to eat more sweet and less sour, because spring is the season to nourish and protect the liver. At this time, we should eat more light sweets and less greasy and sour food.
During the Qingming period, we should pay attention to harmony with nature and eat more seasonal vegetables and fruits, such as Chinese cabbage, elm, asparagus, garlic seedlings and loquat.

The ingredients for eliminating dampness and nourishing blood are essential.
During the Qingming Festival, cold and warm air alternate, the weather will be sunny and rainy for a while, and the human body will feel uncomfortable because of the invasion of moisture. Pay attention to diuresis, nourishing blood and relaxing muscles and tendons. You can eat Coicis Semen, red beans and Euryale Semen.
At the same time, because the temperature alternates between hot and cold, it is easy to cause colds and respiratory diseases. You can eat some ingredients that soften the liver and moisten the lungs, such as tremella, lily and pear.

Edible warm food
Many people say, don't eat nourishing food during Qingming period. This statement has some merits, but it is also misunderstood.
According to Chinese medicine, there are many kinds of nourishing foods, including warm foods, such as shepherd's purse, spinach, yam and glutinous rice. As long as the cooking method is proper, it can keep warm.
For people who are physically weak, these ingredients can be cooked by stewing and steaming in March; But for people with body heat, it is best to eat less, or use light cooking techniques such as frying and soup, which is nourishing and not too dry.
