How to maintain health during Bailu?

1. Nourish your spleen in early autumn and eat less "melon" related foods <br /> In summer, people have a special liking for watermelons, especially cool and delicious iced watermelons, which have almost become a must-have for people to relieve the summer heat. But maybe you don’t know that watermelon actually has another nickname, called “cold melon”. Watermelon is cold in nature and can relieve heat, and it tastes cool when eaten, so it got this name. Watermelon is cold in nature. If this "cold melon" is kept in the refrigerator, it would be like "adding insult to injury". Although it has a good effect of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, and it tastes very delicious, eating too much of it can cause great damage to the spleen and stomach. Some people will suffer from diarrhea, or even experience dizziness, fatigue, and heaviness if they eat too much watermelon. This is because dampness traps the spleen.
In fact, it’s not just watermelon. Melon, cucumber, winter melon, bitter melon and other foods with the word “melon” in their names are all cold foods. So after the summer, watermelon will basically be out of the "historical stage".
2. To cope with the heat of autumn, eat more beans <br /> It is not advisable to eat melons, but how to cope with the heat of late summer and early autumn?
Mung bean: In fact, there are some foods in life that can both relieve heat and eliminate dampness. The most well-known is mung bean soup. The green mung bean soup can not only relieve the heat of summer, but also eliminate dampness, helping your spleen and stomach.
Red beans: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it has the effects of strengthening the spleen and promoting diuresis, clearing away heat and dampness, reducing swelling and detoxifying. Since red beans are good at descending and clearing the water channels, regular consumption can also help with weight loss.

Why not do it?
3. Nourish the spleen and moisten dryness, eat more autumn fruits <br /> Autumn pear: Autumn pear is the most recommended fruit to eat in autumn. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that pears are cool in nature and sweet in taste, and can produce fluid and moisten dryness, clear away heat and resolve phlegm. They are the best choice for removing dryness in the autumn when dryness is rampant. Autumn pears have different effects depending on how they are eaten. If you have symptoms of heat such as dry throat and sore throat, just eat it raw. If you want to achieve the effects of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, moistening the throat and removing phlegm, it is better to eat it cooked. You can steam the pears, cook them into soup or make them into porridge. This will remove the coldness of the pears and make them safer to eat.
Jujube: Jujube is called "woody grain" because the ancients believed that it can be eaten instead of food. "Compendium of Materia Medica" believes that dates are sweet and warm in nature, can replenish qi, nourish blood and produce body fluids, and have a good therapeutic effect on diseases such as "weak spleen, poor appetite and loose stools, qi and blood deficiency". There is even a popular saying that goes "Eat three dates a day to keep your beauty from aging." Boiling red dates and rice into porridge is also very effective in protecting the liver. However, it is not advisable to eat too many dates. "Eating too much will cause chills and fever, and those who are thin should not eat them." It is best not to eat more than 50 grams of dates per day.
4. Duck meat is the best for early autumn tonic <br /> For people with weak bodies, they should still eat some meat to supplement their body in autumn. When choosing meat, duck meat is the best. Because ducks in autumn are the fattest and most tender, and they also have certain medicinal effects. In autumn, the dryness is serious. Eating some cool duck meat can help remove heat and dryness for people who have heat in their bodies and are prone to getting angry.
Diet as a health care measure is first and foremost intended to prevent disease and prolong life, and the nourishing effect of diet on the human body is itself an important health care preventive measure.
Patients with bronchial asthma caused by allergies should eat less or no fish, shrimp, seafood, raw, cold, roasted, stewed, pickled vegetables, spicy, sour, salty, sweet and fatty foods.
