There is a folk saying that "eat a chicken in ups and downs and be healthy for a year." People consume more physical energy in dog days, so they should be properly supplemented with nutrition. You can add a proper amount of ginger when stewing chicken. Ginger is warm, which can adjust the temperature difference inside and outside the human body in summer, make the human body adapt to the external environment, and play the role of eliminating dampness and strengthening the body. This can disperse the accumulated cold in the body and prevent the onset of cold diseases in autumn.

People eat Fuyang, drink plenty of water, avoid excessive sweating, eat more salty food and supplement electrolytes.
