What can’t you eat during the Beginning of Autumn?

Watermelon: Try not to eat too much
There is a saying among the people in my country that "autumn melons upset your stomach" and there is also a saying that "watermelons cannot be eaten after the beginning of autumn". Nutrition experts point out that watermelons are cold in nature. After the beginning of autumn, as the temperature gradually drops, the gastrointestinal tract's adaptability to cold foods will decrease. You can eat watermelon, but not too much. Eating too much will irritate the human intestines and easily cause diarrhea, especially for people with weak spleen and stomach. It is recommended to eat less or not eat after the beginning of autumn.
Ginger: Do not eat or eat less
Traditional Chinese medicine in my country has the health-preserving view of "eating radish in winter and ginger in summer". Ginger is spicy in nature and enters the lung meridian, spleen meridian, and stomach meridian. Eating ginger in summer can, first, promote sweating and reduce temperature, second, eliminate wind and cold, and third, strengthen the spleen and stomach. But things are different after the beginning of autumn. The most important thing for health preservation in autumn is to protect the lung yin. Spicy foods or condiments such as pepper, pepper, cinnamon, ginger, onion and wine should be avoided or eaten less.
Sponge gourd: taste may deteriorate after the beginning of autumn
The older generation has a saying that "you can't eat loofah after the beginning of autumn". They say that loofah grown after the beginning of autumn, also known as "autumn loofah", should not be eaten by people with sores, as eating it will cause the sores to relapse. This means that autumn loofah is "poisonous", but this statement is controversial.
The beginning of autumn should increase acidity, and you should eat more foods that nourish yin and moisten dryness to prevent autumn dryness from damaging yin

Dietary taboos after the beginning of autumn

1. Avoid overeating
In autumn, the weather is pleasant, appetite increases, and people tend to eat too much. But if the calorie intake is greater than the calorie consumption, it will be converted into fat accumulation and cause weight gain.
2. Eat less stimulating foods
You should eat less irritating, spicy and hot foods. To avoid the accumulation of dampness and heat, you can eat some foods with spicy smell, such as celery.
3. Avoid eating too much raw or cold food
As the weather turns cooler in autumn, you should be careful not to eat too raw or cold food to avoid gastrointestinal indigestion.
4. Avoid too dry food
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that bitter and dry foods can easily damage body fluids and consume energy. In autumn, dryness is prevalent and the lungs are a delicate organ. Many chronic respiratory diseases tend to relapse or worsen in autumn, so dry foods such as fried foods should be avoided.
