As the temperature rises gradually, nature becomes a lush and vibrant image.

So, what does Xiaoman solar term mean? What problems should we pay attention to in our daily life? What should I eat to spend this solar term healthily?

Today, let's take a look at the health care points during Xiaoman!

Characteristics of solar terms in Xiao Man

Xiaoman's "July 72 Season Collection" said: "Xiaoman is a matter." This means that everything in nature has reached a small full state, which will be full but not full at this time.

The temperature has obviously risen, and it has entered a real hot summer since childhood. This also means that our body's yang is also increasingly strong, reaching a "small full" state.

Yang is abundant, yin is born, and the rain will increase obviously after entering Xiaoman.

In the aspect of five movements and six qi, it has also begun to enter the hot and humid state in which the main qi is shaoyang and fire, and polite is too damp and wet soil.

And this state will last until the heat of July 22.

During this period, emotional diseases such as vomiting, acid water spitting, earache, red eyes, stomachache, and easy shock are prone to occur due to the deficiency of main qi and yang.

It is also because of courtesy and wet soil that the company is too wet and sleepy, especially the diseases such as heavy lower limbs, swelling, abdominal distension and abdominal distension.

Therefore, during the Xiaoman period, our health care should focus on clearing away heat and promoting diuresis, and at the same time, we should continue to raise yang.

Start the bitter vegetable show. What it means here is that bitter vegetables will grow vigorously when they are full. As for bitter vegetables, the ancients generally thought it was tea. Some people think that bitter vegetables are bitter vegetables.

The ancients believed that after Xiaoman, the tea tree felt the heat of summer and began to have bitterness.

Therefore, it is very appropriate to drink some green tea after rain in Xiaoman period. Because green tea can not only strengthen yang and clear heat, but also induce diuresis.

Second, the grass will die. The ancients thought that grass was a kind of grass, which was born as yin and died as yang.

Xiaoman's yang is beginning to flourish, so the shady grass will gradually die at this time.

This also confirmed that the spirit of the sun became stronger and the temperature rose obviously during Xiaoman period, and it officially entered the hot summer stage.

Third, the wheat will arrive in autumn. The so-called wheat autumn is the "autumn" of wheat. After Xiaoman, wheat gradually began to prepare for harvest, so Xiaoman was called the autumn solstice of wheat.

During Xiaoman, wheat began to become full, but it was still not safe and mature, so it was called Xiaoman. But the harvest is not far away.

Generally speaking, the phenological phenomenon in Xiaoman period shows that the yang in nature began to become very strong at this time, but it did not reach its peak. Rainfall has also begun to increase, and humid heat will be a normal state at this stage.

Xiaoman diet guidance

During Xiaoman period, damp heat is the normal state. At the same time, we should also pay attention to nourishing yang. So we can eat some foods with the function of clearing away dampness and heat.

Such as mung beans, red beans, soybeans, white lentils, raw coix seed, wax gourd, corn, purslane and so on.

At the same time, you can also eat some spicy foods, such as mint, onion, ginger, garlic, chrysanthemum, etc., which can not only help the qi, help dehumidification, but also generate yang.

Here, we recommend a health porridge suitable for eating during Xiaoman period-Sidou potherb porridge.

Ingredients: mung bean, adzuki bean, white lentil and soybean each 30g, rice 50g and purslane 30g;

Ingredients: salt, Jiang Mo, chopped green onion, sesame oil;

Practice: Wash the ingredients and put them into the pot, add appropriate amount of cold water and soak them for 1 hour first. Bring the fire to a boil and turn it down until the beans are soft and rotten. Chop the cleaned purslane, put it in a pot and cook it together, add salt, Jiang Mo and chopped green onion, simmer for 5 minutes, then pour in sesame oil and take it out;

Tip: At this stage, we should increase the spicy taste, so we should also add a small amount of pepper or thirteen spices before cooking. Put less salt, just a little salty.

If there is no purslane, you can use green vegetables instead, or you can make light bean porridge directly without vegetable salt and sesame oil. It is not recommended to make sweet porridge, which is not conducive to dampness.

In addition, the diet during Xiao Man should be as light as possible, and sweets should be reduced. Avoid raw and cold food.

Xiaoman daily life guidance

Heavy moisture, in addition to the above dietary principles, but also pay attention to two aspects, that is, moderate exercise and peace of mind.

Moisture is a kind of yin evil, which most easily traps Yang Qi and sticks to qi. At this point, it is particularly empty.

But most people's tongue coating is thick and greasy, or white or yellow, which fully shows that they are trapped by moisture, not really empty.

Moderate exercise can generate yang, regulate the body's qi and blood, and strengthen the spleen and stomach. If the qi and blood are smooth and the spleen and stomach are normal, the moisture will stay away from us.

So jogging, brisk walking, Tai Chi and Ba Duan Jin are still the best choices.

The stability of mentality and emotion can make the liver drain normally, and also ensure the smoothness of qi and blood and the health of the spleen and stomach.
