Summer health care:
Summer is the most sunny season and the most vigorous time for human metabolism. People sweat a lot, and it is easy to lose body fluids. In summer, light food should be the main health care to avoid hurting body fluids and consuming gas.
The diet in summer is really light. In summer, people's digestive function of spleen and stomach is relatively weak, so they should eat more heat-clearing and detoxicating foods, such as chrysanthemum, celery, Chinese cabbage, coriander, bitter gourd, bamboo shoots, cucumber and wax gourd. Fish, such as herring, crucian carp and silver carp. These foods can clear away heat and relieve fatigue, and have a certain preventive effect on Chinese medicine and intestinal diseases.

Eat more miscellaneous grains, fruits and vegetables to cool your body, but raw and cold fruits and vegetables should be enough, and you should not overeat, so as not to damage your spleen and stomach due to excessive cold.

This theory reminds people that autumn health care must conform to the changes of seasons, pay attention to maintaining lung qi and avoid respiratory diseases.
Timely life: the temperature turns from hot to cool in autumn, and it is hot in the day and cool at night. We should do what Chinese medicine says, "Go to bed early and get up early, and have fun with chickens". Going to bed early can avoid catching a cold at night, and getting up early can breathe fresh air. Open the door and open the window to let the indoor air circulate. It is also necessary to moderately "freeze in autumn", don't rush to add more clothes, pay attention to cold-resistant exercise, and enhance the body's adaptability to weather changes.
Moisturizing diet: the climate in autumn is characterized by dryness, which is the main gas in autumn. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs are fine and dirty, and they like dampness and hate dryness. However, dryness is the most likely to attack the lungs, hurting body fluids and consuming fluids, which makes people suffer from so-called "autumn dryness" such as dry nose, dry throat, hoarse cough and dry stool. Therefore, in order to prevent dryness and evil, it is advisable to eat more foods that produce fluid and increase fluid in autumn, such as sesame, pear, lotus root, banana, apple, tremella, lily, persimmon, olive, duck, pig lung, turtle, turtle, honey and vegetables. , in order to moisten the lungs, and should eat less or not eat any spicy, spicy, fried, smoked, fried food.
Winter health care:
Winter is the season when all life lurks and hides. At this time, it's cold, and the human blood circulation slows down. Chinese medicine believes that at this time, the cold pathogen is strong, which is easy to hurt the yang of the human body. Therefore, winter health care focuses on nourishing.
Diet should be nourishing in winter. The basic principle of dietary health in winter is to conform to the principle of storing yang in the body, gathering yang and protecting yin. Mutton, dog meat, shrimp, leek, longan, fungus, chestnut, walnut, turtle and other foods can be properly selected; Eat more potatoes, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes; Vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, cabbage, white radish, soybean sprouts, mung bean sprouts, rape and so on.
Avoid eating cold things in winter. In winter and March, grass withers and insects freeze, which is the season when everything in nature hides. People's yang should also be hidden inside, and the function of the spleen and stomach is weak. If you eat raw and cold food again, it should damage the yang of the spleen and stomach. Because of this, we should eat less cold food such as water chestnut, persimmon, raw radish, raw cucumber, watermelon and duck in winter. At the same time, don't eat too much to avoid poor blood circulation, and don't drink to keep out the cold.
