2. Bitter vegetables
"Zhou Shu" has a cloud: "Bitter vegetables show up on the day of Xiaoman". In ancient books, there is also a saying that "when the rice is full, the bitter vegetables are obvious, the weeds die, and summer comes". It can be seen that Xiaoman has an indissoluble bond with "bitter vegetables". In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, bitter vegetables are regarded as the "season" of Xiaoman's health care, that is to say, bitter vegetables have a new identity, and they have changed from the old food of Xiaoman to the "prescription" of health care, which is probably one of the reasons why Xiaoman's custom of suffering from bitter vegetables has spread to this day.
According to the research of modern nutrition, sowthistle is rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, riboflavin and mannitol. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine diet, it is considered that bitter vegetables have the effects of clearing away heat, cooling blood and detoxifying, and have a good preventive and therapeutic effect on furuncle, vomiting blood, nosebleeds, constipation and colds. It has certain curative effect on jaundice hepatitis, pharyngolaryngitis, bacillary dysentery, common cold and fever, chronic tracheitis and tonsillitis. However, it should be noted that bitter herbs are not suitable for everyone, and those with deficiency of spleen and stomach should not eat bitter herbs.
Small full is coming, you might as well add a plate of bitter vegetables to the table. Before eating, scald the bitter vegetables with boiling water to remove oxalic acid and enhance the absorption of calcium.
The most common way is steaming: after washing the bitter vegetables, sprinkle a little flour and mix well, and steam them in a pot. When taking out, mix well with sesame oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and mashed garlic. And the entrance won't feel bitter at all. Or put the chopped bitter vegetables into the mixed egg liquid and stir evenly, then put them into a hot oil pan and stir-fry. The taste is fragrant and delicious, and the bitterness is minimal. Whether it is used for cooking or cooking, it must be delicious, because bitter vegetables are rich in flavor and garlic can complement each other.
The steamed and fried dishes are slightly bitter, but the nutrition is destroyed a little. Fresh bitter vegetables, if mixed with seasoning, are bitter, but their nutrition is intact. Cold bitter vegetables have various tastes, which can be salty, sour, sweet and sour. Bitter vegetables collected in Xiaoman season, if they can't be eaten all at once, can be dried and stored in bags, or brewed and drunk like tea.
3: Cherry
Cherry has a high iron content, so eating some cherries often can supplement iron and blood. In terms of nutrition, cherry has the effects of regulating middle energizer, invigorating spleen and regulating stomach, expelling wind and removing dampness, and is beneficial to anorexia, dyspepsia, rheumatism and body pain.
Cherry is rich in iron, which can maintain the normal operation of the brain, participate in metabolism, and participate in immune and epidemic prevention functions. Therefore, eating more cherries can promote the body to synthesize hemoglobin, prevent and fight anemia, and enhance immunity and intelligence. Cherry can also be used for beauty. Protein, vitamin A, vitamin C and iron contained in cherries are good for the skin. In addition to eating fresh cherries, we can also squeeze the leftover cherries into juice, apply it on our faces and bodies, and wash them off when they are dry. Often this can make the skin delicate, effectively repair sunburned skin and whiten the skin. Ladies who are afraid of tanning in summer may wish to have a try.
Cherry can eliminate dampness, detoxify and relieve pain. From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, cherry is warm and can make up the middle jiao, so it can cure rheumatism in addition to lumbago and leg pain. There are many folk remedies for cherry treatment. For example, people often use fresh cherry juice to prevent children from contracting measles, and use cherries to release sweat and detoxify. In addition, when you burn or scald, you can apply cherry juice to the affected area, which has the effect of convergence and pain relief, and can effectively prevent blistering and suppuration and accelerate wound healing.
When choosing, you should first choose according to your own preferences. Secondly, look at the luster of cherry, no matter what variety, the skin is the brightest; Finally, the fruit stalks should be green. If it is black, it means that the cherry is not very fresh. Experts stressed: "there should be no wrinkles on the surface of the peel, because this shows that the cherry is dehydrated and the water is not enough."
Cherry is delicious, but don't be greedy. Do not eat more than half a catty a day. If you eat too much, you get angry easily. People with fever and cough due to deficiency-heat should not eat.
4: Cucumber
Cucumber is also called "cucumber" because it was introduced from the western regions during the Western Han Dynasty. Li Shizhen said: "Zhang Qian planted seeds in the western regions, hence the name Hulu." The water content of cucumber is 96%~98%, which is not only crisp, tender and fragrant, but also delicious and nutritious.
Cucumber contains cucumber acid, which can promote human metabolism and excrete toxins; Cucumber is rich in vitamins, which can whiten skin and inhibit the formation of melanin? Cucumber meat is crisp and tender, which is a rare food for detoxifying and beautifying. The nutritional advantage of cucumber is mainly determined by the essence of cucumber skin, which is "sweet in taste and flat in nature", so it can clear away heat and detoxify, promote fluid production and quench thirst, especially detoxify, clear intestines and nourish skin. Therefore, if you eat cucumber raw, it is best to eat it with the skin, which can speed up the detoxification. But cucumber with skin must be washed with salt water.
Drinking a cup of cucumber juice in the morning can refresh your stomach. Because cucumber contains a lot of vitamins, it can relieve certain inflammatory symptoms and play an effective therapeutic role in oral ulcer. When drinking cucumber juice, if the diluted cucumber juice is a little bitter, you can add a little honey to taste.
It is very hot in summer, and many old people have no appetite. Nutritionists suggest that the elderly can eat some stuffed foods such as jiaozi and steamed stuffed buns for lunch or dinner, which is not only balanced in nutrition, but also helpful for digestion. If you haven't eaten jiaozi with cucumber stuffing before, you might as well try it. Not only cool and relieve summer heat, but also prevent heatstroke, lower blood pressure and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Cucumber meat is used as stuffing, and peeled skin can be used as cucumber skin tea for clearing heat and removing fire. First put the cucumber skin in the sun to dry, and then knead it by hand. Add 10g cucumber peel decoction into 200ml water, bring the water to a boil, then turn the heat down and fry the water to half. This natural tea can be drunk several times a day, which can effectively relieve heatstroke reactions such as headache and fever in summer.
Experts remind: cucumber is cold, people with spleen and stomach deficiency and patients with chronic diseases should eat less. People with liver diseases, cardiovascular diseases, gastrointestinal diseases and hypertension should not eat pickled cucumbers. In addition, we should also pay attention to the cucumbers we grow, which can be eaten without pesticides; Pollution-free cucumbers need to be soaked for a quarter of an hour after testing. Cucumbers bought at farmers' markets are best soaked and peeled before eating.

How does Xiaoman prevent health care?
Pay attention to prevent "moisture"
In summer, if you wade in the rain for a long time and lie in the wetland or indoors for a long time, it is very likely to cause lower limb ulcers, wet beriberi and women's leucorrhea. The invasion of "dampness evil" into joints will lead to rheumatism or rheumatoid arthritis, joint pain, unfavorable flexion and extension, and numbness of skin. "Damp evil" invades the spleen and stomach, which will cause diarrhea, edema, loss of appetite, nausea and other diseases. Therefore, in Xiao Man season, especially in the southern region, attention should be paid to preventing "dampness" during health care.
Not suitable for strenuous exercise
Heart yang is the most abundant in summer, which is suitable for nourishing the heart. Summer is hot, not suitable for strenuous exercise, and sweating too much is not good for nourishing the heart. It is recommended to exercise for one hour after meals: walking, jogging and swimming are very suitable for summer. Pay attention to the choice of clothing materials when exercising, and try to wear some clothes and socks with good breathability and sweat absorption to avoid moisture stagnation.
It is not advisable to eat more raw and cold food.
In summer, because of the hot weather, cold drinks and other cold foods are very popular. In hot summer, if the gastrointestinal tract is stimulated by a large number of cold foods, it will accelerate peristalsis, shorten the residence time of food in the small intestine, and affect the absorption of food nutrition by the human body. At the same time, due to the high temperature in summer, the heat in the body is not easy to dissipate, and the temperature of the gastrointestinal tract is also high. If you are suddenly stimulated by cold, it will lead to gastrointestinal spasm and abdominal pain.

The moral of Xiao Man
Xiaoman, one of the 24 solar terms, is the second solar term in summer. Xiaoman-refers to the summer crops with full seeds, but not yet mature, just small and not yet full. Every year from May 20th to 22nd, when the sun reaches 60 degrees, it is in full bloom. Twenty-four solar terms: "In mid-April, things are small and full."
At this time, the seeds of summer sowing crops such as wheat in the north have begun to be full, but they are not yet mature, which is about the late stage of milk ripening, so it is called Xiaoman. Agricultural proverbs in southern China give Xiaoman a new meaning: "Xiaoman is not satisfied with the broken ridge"; "Little people are full of discontent, regardless of mangoes." The word "full" is used to describe the amount of rain, and it is pointed out that if there is not enough water in the field when it is full, the ridge may crack and even rice cannot be planted when it is planted.
