Things to note during the dog days

1. Do not drink iced drinks or food. During the dog days, the body's yang energy floats on the surface of the body, and the internal organs are cold. If you eat iced food or drinks, it is like adding insult to injury, especially for people with cold body, who will feel even colder. Therefore, you should drink hot tea or boiled water at room temperature during the dog days.
2. Eat more bitter foods in summer. Modern scientific research shows that bitter foods contain alkaloids, amino acids, bitter substances and other substances needed by the human body, and have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, refreshing and stomachic functions. Bitter foods can be eaten appropriately during the hot summer. Such as: bitter melon, lettuce, celery, gourd, apricot, grapefruit, lotus seed core, etc. However, it should be noted that people with weak spleen and stomach should eat less "bitter" food, especially the elderly, children, pregnant women and people with weak constitution, who need to be more cautious when eating "bitter" food. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
