SufferingIt is advisable to eat more "bitter" foods to maintain health during the summer solstice. According to Chinese medicine, most bitter vegetables have the effect of clearing away heat. Therefore, eating bitter vegetables such as lettuce, celery, bitter melon, etc. regularly around the summer solstice can help relieve heat and eliminate fatigue.Bitter melon is the best food for the summer solstice. It is bitter yet sweet, with a slight fragrance, and leaves a long-lasting aftertaste. In summer, often eating bitter melon soup or bitter melon dishes can harmonize the spleen and stomach, eliminate fatigue, wake up the brain and refresh the mind, and have a certain preventive effect on heatstroke and gastrointestinal diseases. People sweat a lot during the summer solstice, so you might as well drink some bitter drinks. Beer, green tea, and kuding tea are all good choices. 2. Keep your mood happy"Suwen - The Great Treatise on the Four Qi to Regulate the Spirit" says: "Keep the mind calm from anger, allow the flowers and fruits to bloom, and allow the qi to be released. If what you love is outside, this is the response of the summer qi, and the way to nourish and grow."In summer, one should be clear-headed, happy, broad-minded and full of energy. Do not be lazy, bored, angry or depressed. Just as all things need sunlight to grow, one should have a strong interest in external things and cultivate an optimistic and extroverted personality to facilitate the flow of Qi. 3. Maintain a regular work and rest schedule and ensure adequate sleepAlthough it is hot in the summer, it is better to go to bed late and get up early to adapt to the natural changes of yang being strong and yin being weak; but you still need to ensure that you have enough sleep time and arrange your lunch break reasonably, firstly to avoid the heat, and secondly to recover from fatigue. But don’t sleep too long!4. Keep the room well ventilatedWhen the weather is hot, everyone likes to turn on the air conditioner. However, if the air conditioner is turned on for a long time without ventilation, it can easily cause bacteria to breed, which is extremely bad for the body.5. Avoid eating raw, cold, spicy, and greasy foodSome friends with weak immunity and poor stomach should never eat raw, cold, spicy or greasy food during the summer solstice, otherwise it will easily cause abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea symptoms.Recommended summer solstice health recipes1.
