What food is suitable for every season? In a year, due to the different climate of the four seasons, it has different characteristics such as high temperature in spring, hot summer, humid summer, cool and dry autumn and cold winter, and human physiology and pathology will also be affected by this climate change. Therefore, whether in health or in the process of illness, we should pay attention to the choice of food should be adapted to the climate.
In spring, the sun is the spirit and people's energy is easy to work hard. It seems that there is only the potential of the foreign minister, and there is no hidden job, which is prone to thermal infectious diseases. Therefore, the diet in spring should be light, and it is not advisable to overeat greasy and fried things. Some fruits such as pears, oranges and sugar cane should be selected as supplements. Often eat mung bean soup and mung bean sprouts, which are light and sweet and do not accumulate heat.
The summer climate is hot, everything is flashy, body heat is not easy to spread outward, and there is the possibility of heatstroke, so the diet should be sweet and cold, light and eat more fresh vegetables. The combination of summer heat and dampness is easy to sweat, which makes people often gluttony cold things, and overeating hurts the spleen and stomach. Therefore, in hot summer, it is forbidden to eat too much cold and not to eat too much greasy and thick flavor. Diet should be good for dampness, summer heat and oil. Watermelon, wax gourd, mung bean soup, sour plum and rock sugar soup are often chosen instead of tea, so as to play the role of clearing heat and relieving summer heat, diuresis and nourishing yin and benefiting qi. Cool and bitter vegetables can prevent enteritis; Porphyra cold salad is more suitable for the elderly, which can eliminate phlegm and dampness, increase zinc and iodine and prevent cancer. In addition, you can often eat mung bean porridge, lotus leaf porridge and mint porridge. In midsummer, people with yin deficiency at ordinary times, even those who often take ginseng and velvet antler isothermal supplements, should reduce or stop taking them.
In autumn, the climate turns from hot to cold, and there are signs of dryness everywhere. The human body also feels dry, such as dry nose, dry mouth, dry face and even dry cough. At this time, the diet should not be too light, should be moderately greasy, and often drink fruit juices such as tremella soup and pear juice, especially pear juice. Usually drink after lunch or after a nap to nourish the lungs and yin.
In winter, water and ice are frozen and everything is hidden. This is the time to go cold and warm. Eat more meat, eggs, dates and nuts. In the cold season, the blood flow is slow, the blood becomes sticky, and the disease resistance declines, so drinking less wine and drinking some aconite mutton soup is good for your health. Patients with hypertension can often take some hawthorn water in winter.
What food is suitable for this season? Every hot summer, many people have a bad appetite and are prone to fatigue, stomach discomfort and other symptoms, and are prone to intestinal diseases. Therefore, we must pay attention to diet regulation in summer, especially the following points: eat more bitter food. Alkaloids contained in bitter food have pharmacological effects such as relieving summer heat, promoting blood circulation and relaxing blood vessels. Eating some bitter food in hot weather, such as bitter gourd, bitter vegetable, beer, tea, coffee, cocoa, etc., can not only clear the heart, relieve boredom and refresh the mind, but also stimulate appetite, strengthen the spleen and benefit the stomach. Pay attention to supplement salt and vitamins. Nutritionists suggest that it is best to supplement vitamin B 1 and B22mg, vitamin C 50mg and calcium 1 g every day in hot season. You can also eat more foods rich in the above nutrients, such as watermelon, cucumber, tomato, bean products, animal liver and kidney, shrimp skin and so on. And you can drink some juice. Don't forget to supplement potassium. Sweating more in summer, and more potassium ions are lost with sweat, which is easy to cause hypokalemia, fatigue, dizziness, headache, loss of appetite and other symptoms. The most effective way to prevent potassium deficiency in hot weather is to eat more foods containing potassium. Fresh vegetables and fruits contain more potassium, so you can eat some strawberries, apricots, lychees, peaches, plums and other fruits appropriately. Vegetables such as green vegetables, green onions, celery and edamame are also rich in potassium. Tea also contains more potassium. Drinking more tea in hot weather can relieve summer heat and supplement potassium, killing two birds with one stone. It should clear up in summer. In hot weather, the principle is to tonify, strengthen the spleen, dispel summer heat and damp, so we should choose light and nourishing food, such as duck, crucian carp, shrimp, lean meat, mushrooms, Pleurotus ostreatus, tremella, coix seed and so on. In addition, you can also eat some mung bean porridge, flat bean porridge, lotus leaf porridge, mint porridge and other "summer medicine porridge", which has a certain effect of dispelling summer heat and promoting fluid production.
What food is suitable for this season? Breakfast, lunch, dinner, fruit, etc. In autumn, the temperature begins to drop, the yang in nature gradually converges, and the yin gradually increases. After autumn, there is much rain, heavy humidity and steaming in the hot and humid zone. In autumn, the weather is still hot, but it is not advisable to eat too many cold things, especially cold fruits and vegetables. Don't eat too much at will.

Therefore, it is advisable to eat some foods that promote fluid production, nourish yin and moisten dryness, and avoid spicy, fragrant, dry, fried, fried and other things that help fire and hurt yin. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs correspond to autumn qi, and the lungs are full of qi in autumn. "Lung is the sea of qi, qi is the root of man, and man-made qi gathers", and lung qi is particularly closely related to autumn qi. The lungs are moist, and dryness is the most likely to hurt the lungs, which makes people dry nose and throat, cough without phlegm or less phlegm, and even blood in sputum, or dry cough, sore throat and dry face. At this time, it is advisable to eat foods that moisten the lungs and promote fluid production, nourish yin and clear dryness, and avoid hot and dry things such as peppers, green onions, ginger and cinnamon. In late autumn, the essence of the human body began to be sealed. Eating nourishing food is easy to be absorbed and stored, which is conducive to improving the function of zang-fu organs and enhancing physical fitness. Therefore, it is advisable to gradually eat some nutritious nourishing foods, such as chicken, duck, beef, fish, lotus seeds, tremella, jujube and so on. Avoid eating raw and cold food, which hurts the gas.

Moisturizing diet: the climate in autumn is characterized by dryness, which is the main gas in autumn.
