Main points of dietotherapy in Grain Rain

It's the end of spring in Grain Rain, and the 24 solar terms tell us that it's always hot and rainy from Grain Rain to long summer and awning, because the climate at this time is suitable for the growth of cereal crops, especially in the south. The summer heat is coming, and the rain is wet and heavy. The evil of damp-heat is collectively called the evil of summer-dampness-fever, which is most likely to lead to the syndrome of summer-dampness mixed with dampness in human body. People suffering from wind, cold and dampness should not eat cold food such as persimmons, dried persimmons, watermelons, celery, raw cucumbers, crabs, snails, mussels and kelp.

Don't go ahead with cold drinks before Grain Rain arrives in summer.

Eating cold drinks in summer is for heatstroke prevention and cooling. Grain Rain is not hot in season, and it is still cold in the morning and evening, so there is no need for cold drinks to cool down. Moreover, the nutritional value of cold drinks is not high in terms of composition. Eating cold drinks too early in Grain Rain can only do more harm than good and cause diseases. Especially for children, eating cold drinks too early is more harmful to the health.

Chinese medicine believes that children are in the process of growth and development, and their viscera are underdeveloped, and their gastrointestinal peristalsis is not as good as that of adults. Overeating and eating a cold diet will stimulate the gastrointestinal tract locally, accelerate peristalsis and cause motor dysfunction, which will easily lead to spleen and stomach deficiency, abdominal pain, diarrhea and anorexia.

In addition, as we all know, after eating, food enters the stomach, and only after all the food passes through the stomach (stomach emptying) will people have the desire to eat for the second time. Between meals, if children eat a lot of cold drinks, the impact on normal diet can be imagined. As time goes by, the digestive function will decline, which will affect the child's nutrient absorption, leading to "anorexia" with yellow and dull complexion and fatigue.

Therefore, in Grain Rain season, parents must pay attention to give their children less cold drinks.
