For more relevant information about the fifth month of the lunar calendar in 2019, please visit Mr. Shui Mo's website!What traditional food is eaten on the Summer Solstice?Crossing the water:On the day of the Summer Solstice, people in all parts of Shandong Province generally eat cold noodles, commonly known as "guoshui noodles". There is a saying that goes "dumplings on the Winter Solstice and noodles on the Summer Solstice". In the Laiyang area of Yantai, new wheat is offered on the summer solstice, while in the Huangxian area (now Longkou City, Yantai), new wheat grains are boiled and eaten. Children use wheat straw to weave an exquisite small strainer and scoop the soup into their mouths again and again. It is not only a way to eat the wheat grains, but also a game, which is very interesting in farm life. Egg cucumber: The third Geng day after the summer solstice is the first dog days, the fourth Geng day is the middle dog days, and the first Geng day after the beginning of autumn is the last dog days, collectively known as the dog days. During the dog days, people have poor appetite and are often thinner than usual, which is commonly known as "bitter summer". In some places in Shandong, people eat raw cucumbers and boiled eggs to cure "bitter summer". In the morning of the first dog days, they eat eggs and no other food. What health precautions should we pay attention to during the Summer Solstice?1. Drink less beverages and more water:Soda, juice, cola and other frozen drinks have become popular drinks in summer. These beverages contain more saccharin and electrolytes, which will adversely stimulate the stomach, affect digestion and appetite. If consumed in large quantities, they will increase the kidney filtration burden and affect kidney function. Moreover, excessive intake of sugar will increase the body's calories and make people obese. 2. Pay attention to the time for morning exercise: Before daybreak or when it is dim, the air is not fresh and is not conducive to fitness. According to expert research, pollutants in the air are least likely to spread before 6 a.m. in summer, which is the peak period of pollution. Exercising too early in the morning can easily lead to colds, joint pain, stomach pain and other symptoms. Therefore, the time for morning exercise in summer should not be earlier than 6 o'clock. 3. Eat less refrigerated watermelon: Some people believe that refrigerated watermelon is more refreshing, but in fact, when eating refrigerated watermelon, the salivary glands, tongue taste nerves and periodontal nerves in the mouth will be paralyzed due to cold stimulation, making it difficult to taste the sweetness of the watermelon and also damaging the spleen and stomach.
