Beginning of autumn should pay attention to his diet.
Autumn tonic should be based on nourishing yin and moistening dryness. Eat more cooked, soft, appetizing and digestible foods in autumn, especially for patients with digestive tract diseases. Eat less and eat more in autumn.
After beginning of autumn, as the weather gradually becomes cool and pleasant, people's appetite will gradually increase. But at this time, people's gastrointestinal function is still in a weak state and has not been adjusted from the habit of eating in summer. If you eat too much high-protein food at this time, it will increase the burden on your stomach and affect your stomach function.
Therefore, the autumn diet should be "less spicy and more sour", and too much dry food should be reduced in autumn. For example, for some fried foods, we should eat less spicy foods such as ginger, onion and pepper, and selectively eat more sour and salty foods such as barley, black beans and cowpeas. Eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, such as millet, coix seed, lentils and Amomum villosum. Eat fruit carefully, and those who are deficient in spleen and stomach should not eat.
