Early summer health:

Summer should be based on tonic. If some restaurants still recommend black-bone chicken and old hen soup to make up the soup at the same temperature, it will be counterproductive. Choose duck soup or pigeon soup. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, tonic should follow the principle of "four seasons and five supplements", that is, nourishing the liver in spring, strengthening the heart and strengthening the spleen in summer, moistening the lungs in autumn and tonifying the kidney in winter. For out-of-season foods, learn to balance cold and heat. If you want to eat mutton hot pot in summer, it is best to add some cool ingredients or side dishes to neutralize the warmth of mutton.
