Today is summer, and the weather is still hot, commonly known as autumn tiger. During this period, the diet and health care should be light and tonic. "Light tonic, that is, light diet, uses' light' for health." There is summer heat in this season, and the spleen and stomach function is weak. Eating too spicy, too greasy and too sweet will aggravate dampness and easily lead to food accumulation. Moreover, because summer heat also has the characteristics of dryness and heat, spicy and other irritating diets will encourage lung qi and lung qi will hurt the liver, so the summer diet should be "less spicy and more sour".

Light tonic can not only prevent lung hyperactivity from damaging the liver, but also avoid damaging the spleen. At the same time, it conforms to the "summer evil" and "dryness evil" in summer, so the diet mainly focuses on clearing heat and eliminating dampness, invigorating the spleen and eliminating dampness, moistening the lungs and nourishing yin.
