Precautions for health preservation during Grain in Ear solar term

1. Eat sour and bitter food
After the Grain in Ear solar term arrives, the temperature will rise and the weather will be hotter. People tend to sweat easily, and excessive sweat loss can easily damage yin and consume qi. In order to avoid excessive loss of yin energy in the body, you can eat some acidic foods to promote salivation, such as black plums, lemons, and hawthorns. Or you can make them into soup and drink it, the effect is the same.
2. Pay attention to removing dampness
The weather is getting hotter and there is more rain. When it rains in the summer, it is a downpour, and such rain actually brings more moisture. Moreover, when the weather gets hot, many people use air conditioning every day, which also brings in humidity. Therefore, in order to avoid excessive moisture in the body, it is necessary to remove moisture in time.
3. Do not take a shower immediately after sweating
As the temperature continues to rise, many people will cool themselves down by taking frequent baths, but you should not take a bath immediately after sweating profusely, because after sweating profusely, the blood flow through the muscles increases and the heart rate speeds up. If the bath water is too hot, it will accelerate blood flow, causing the body's already dilated blood vessels and pores to expand, resulting in insufficient blood to supply important organs such as the heart and brain, causing the body to lack of oxygen and leading to dizziness.
4. Eat a light diet and eat more vegetables and fruits
The hot summer always makes people lose their appetite, so we should try to reduce the consumption of too greasy food in our diet and focus on light, soft and easily digestible food. Eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, bitter gourd, wax gourd, loofah, watermelon, etc., which are light and pleasant. They can not only meet the required nutrition but also prevent heatstroke.

2. Sour plum soup
