May 5th is a long summer day. The weather starts to get hot and people sweat a lot. At this time, the human body is very easy to get angry, and the digestive function of the spleen and stomach is also easy to deteriorate. Therefore, drinking more water, eating more fruits and vegetables and eating more porridge are the important essentials of summer health. At the same time, "summer heat is easy to hurt gas", so we should avoid eating food caused by sexual heat every day to avoid consuming gas and hurting body fluid. Moreover, it is not advisable to overeat cold foods to avoid damaging the spleen and stomach. In addition, Chinese medicine advocates "nourishing yang in spring and summer" and suggests that we should pay attention to protecting the yang in the body after long summer. Recommend a simple method to everyone-use ginger well.

There is a folk saying that "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer". In summer, the weather is hot and humid, and people's appetite drops. Ginger can stimulate the secretion of gastric juice and promote digestion. Especially for the stomach upset caused by cold or cold, ginger can relieve the exterior and dispel the cold, and warm it to stop vomiting. Ginger is best eaten in the morning, because the human body's yang is weak in the morning, and eating ginger helps to support the yang.

How to eat: you can drink ginger and jujube tea, boil water with ginger and jujube for 5~ 10 minutes, and drink a cup every morning; You can also shred ginger and make tea with boiling water for 5~ 10 minutes; You can also soak ginger in vinegar, and the effect is also very good. If you don't want to eat ginger, you can soak your feet with ginger boiling water. However, it should be noted that ginger is pungent and warm, and people with yin deficiency and internal heat should not eat ginger for a long time. ▲
