In summer, the outdoor sun is full. Since summer, the anode is yin, and yin is in it. Therefore, after the summer solstice, the diet should aim at clearing away heat and relieving summer heat and stimulating appetite. So eat more bitter food and make up for it. "Lu Chunqiu" pointed out: "No food is thick and thick, and no wine is heavy and strong." Sun Simiao in the Tang Dynasty advocated that people should always attach importance to sweetness and lightness, and barley koji and japonica rice were better. He also said, "People who are good at keeping in good health often need to eat less meat and more rice." . While emphasizing dietary supplements, don't be too salty or too sweet, and eat more foods that can dispel summer heat and replenish qi, promote fluid production and quench thirst.

Vegetables and fruits with more water, such as green leafy vegetables and melons, are good choices, such as Chinese cabbage, bitter gourd, loofah and cucumber, which are all good stomach-strengthening foods. Noodles are also one of the recommended foods from summer to the future. There is a proverb in northern China: "Winter Solstice Day jiaozi Summer Solstice Day Noodles", especially cold noodles, can reduce fire and stimulate appetite, and will not damage health due to cold.

Here, I would also like to recommend an ingredient-ginger. There is a saying: "Ginger is not fragrant in rice", "Radish in winter and ginger in summer" and "Three slices of ginger in the morning are better than ginseng chicken soup", all of which are incisive summaries of the nutritional value and medical function of ginger. Summer is hot, and most people lose their appetite. Ginger is beneficial to the digestion and absorption of food, and is beneficial to heatstroke prevention and summer vacation. There is also a saying that "a person can't live without ginger for a hundred days". Everything grows in summer, the anode is yin, and the heart is flourishing and the kidney is failing. Therefore, proper tonic is very beneficial to the protection and promotion of male sexual function.

After the summer solstice, the temperature rises gradually and the amount of sweating will increase, so the human body needs a lot of water. In this regard, you can also adjust your diet, such as drinking mung bean soup and light salt water. It should be noted that you should not drink more mung bean soup, let alone drink it as water. People with cold constitution and weak constitution are also not suitable for drinking mung bean soup.

The above is to pay attention to health care from the diet, but also pay attention to aftercare mentally. According to Zhouyi theory, summer belongs to fire, corresponding to the heart of the five internal organs. Therefore, it is important to cultivate the heart from summer to the future. It is hot in summer, which often makes people upset, and the troubles are hotter, which can affect the functional activities of the human body, thus producing many adverse mental effects. As the saying goes, "peace of mind is naturally cool", we should be good at adjustment, sit still more, and eliminate distractions in our hearts.
