Autumn breath should be in the lungs. Lung is an important respiratory organ of human body and the source of qi, and the rise and fall of lung qi is related to the length of life. The dry climate in autumn is easy to hurt lung yin and make people suffer from respiratory diseases such as dry nose, sore throat, cough and chest pain, so pay attention to nourishing the lungs in diet. Eat foods that nourish yin and moisten dryness, such as tremella, sugar cane, bird's nest, pear, sesame, lotus root, spinach, black-bone chicken, pig lung, soybean milk, caramel, duck eggs, honey, black-bone fish and olives.

In addition, you can also eat some medicated diets appropriately, such as: Shenmai Tuanyu, honey steamed lily, olive sour plum soup and so on.
Less irritating and more acidic.
In autumn, the lung function is on the high side. Eating too much spicy food will make the lung qi more vigorous and further hurt the liver qi, so eat less spicy food in autumn, such as onions, ginger, garlic, leeks and peppers. On this basis, eat more sour food, such as apple, pomegranate, grape, mango, cherry, grapefruit, lemon, hawthorn, tomato, water chestnut and so on.
Eat more porridge.
The weather is still hot in early autumn, the air is humid and sultry, and the fruits and vegetables are ripe in autumn, so it is difficult to protect people from overeating and damage the spleen and stomach. Therefore, eating more porridge in autumn morning can not only strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach, but also bring a refreshing day. In autumn, we often eat porridge: hawthorn rice porridge, pear rice porridge, rabbit rice porridge, white radish rice porridge, almond rice porridge, orange peel rice porridge, persimmon rice porridge and so on.
