Stewed duckAs the saying goes, "Eat duck to prevent summer heat." Duck meat is rich in nutrients such as protein that people urgently need in summer, and it can prevent and treat diseases. Duck meat is cold in nature and is most suitable for people with heat in their bodies. It has a good effect on loss of appetite, listlessness, fever, dry stool and edema in summer. Extension: You can add lotus root, winter melon and other vegetables to stew, which is not only delicious but also more nutritious. 2. Bitter Melon Scrambled Eggs "Eating more bitterness" can clear away heat and nourish the heart. Summer corresponds to the "fire" in the five elements, and "fire" corresponds to the "heart" in the human body. Eating more bitter melon in summer can reduce heart heat, and in humid and hot areas, it can also help eliminate dampness in the body. Exception: People with weak spleen and stomach or those who sit in the office for a long time should not eat too much bitter melon. 3. Fungus and cucumber Black fungus is known as the "blood vessel scavenger". Eating more black fungus in summer is beneficial for detoxification and bowel movements on the one hand, and it has the effect of cooling blood and increasing appetite on the other. Cucumbers have a high water content and are high in potassium and low in sodium, making them suitable for replenishing water and lost inorganic salts after people sweat a lot in the summer. Efficacy: Eating them together can produce body fluid and quench thirst, relieve restlessness and summer heat, clear away heat and purge water, and detoxify and promote bowel movements. Three good drinks for good health and good fortune during Grain in Ear Festival1. Sour plum soupMany people tend to suffer from summer heat. Sour plum soup can stimulate the appetite and strengthen the spleen. To address summer irritability, sour plum soup can promote qi circulation, disperse blood stasis, relieve restlessness and calm the mind. Note: Do not add too much sugar to avoid discomfort. 2. Barley and red bean soup Red beans have a good effect of removing dampness and are warm in nature, which can reduce the degree of dampness in cold and damp constitutions; Job's tears has the effects of strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness, whitening and removing freckles. Drinking a bowl of barley and red bean soup every day can not only remove dampness but also strengthen the spleen and stomach. It is a good way to maintain health in summer. Note: Do not add rice, because rice is wet and not suitable for health preservation. 3. Oatmeal and lily porridge Lily is sweet, mild and slightly bitter in nature. It has the effects of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, clearing the heart and calming the mind, and relieving cough. It is very suitable for consumption in summer and autumn. Oats are rich in dietary fiber and are a rare grain that promotes gastrointestinal motility, digestion, and detoxification. People are prone to irritability and restlessness in summer. Lily and oatmeal can soothe the mind, calm emotions, increase appetite and strengthen the body. Three things to do to maintain good health and bring good luck during Grain in Ear Festival1. Keep a calm mindIn summer, the temperature rises, the weather is hot and humid, and people feel uneasy and easily irritated. During the Grain in Ear season, “the heat easily penetrates into the heart”. At this time of year, people should strengthen the care of their heart, especially the elderly should consciously carry out mental care. You can listen to more music, take a walk, grow flowers, adjust your mentality and relieve your emotions. Keep a calm mind and keep your emotions free. Avoid extreme sadness or joy, anger or depression, so as not to hurt your heart and mind. 2. Open windows for ventilation May is also known as the "month of all poisons" because of the hot temperatures, which encourage the breeding of mosquitoes and insects, making it easy for infectious diseases to occur. In addition, if the air conditioner is turned on for a long time in the house and there is a lack of air circulation, people can easily get sick. Therefore, during the Grain in Ear season, we should enhance ventilation, pay attention to hygiene and cleanliness, and increase exercise appropriately. 3. Don’t be greedy for coolness Traditional Chinese medicine says: "Sweat should not be accompanied by moisture", but if "sweat is accompanied by moisture, acne will occur". Taking a shower immediately after sweating in the summer can easily allow external evil spirits to invade the human body and cause illness. Therefore, it is best not to take cold showers, sleep outdoors, sleep on the floor, or eat less cold drinks, otherwise wind, cold and dampness can easily accumulate in the body. |
