The autumnal equinox, as its name implies, is the midpoint of autumn.
Diet: eat more "bitter" fruits and vegetables
It should be reminded that the dryness of the autumnal equinox is different from that of the Millennium. The "dryness" of the autumnal equinox is cool and dry, and the "dryness" of the Millennium is warm and dry. So pay attention to eat more warm food, such as sesame, walnut, glutinous rice and so on. There are many kinds of fruits and vegetables in the autumn market, among which lotus root, water chestnut, sugarcane, autumn pear, citrus, hawthorn, apple, grape, lily, tremella, persimmon, sesame and honey are all sacred products for recuperation at this time.
In the autumn equinox, we should eat more bitter fruits and vegetables, such as hawthorn and radish. These fruits and vegetables can reduce the function of lung qi, which is of great benefit to human body. But at the same time, you can't eat too much. Although eating bitter fruit is very helpful to people's health, it is very easy to catch a cold in cold weather.
