Avoid spicy, hot, fragrant and dry foods during the Autumnal Equinox <br /> Spicy foods and seasonings such as garlic, onion, ginger, star anise, and fennel. Eating too much will cause dryness and damage the yin, which can increase internal heat and allow dryness to invade the human body. The weather during the Autumnal Equinox is relatively dry.

Avoid eating raw aquatic plants during the Autumnal Equinox <br /> The Autumnal Equinox is the season for harvesting most aquatic plants and also the season with the most metacercariae. Such as water chestnuts, wild rice shoots, water caltrops, etc., most of them are white, crisp, cool and refreshing, taste delicious, and have medical effects such as clearing away heat and detoxifying, stimulating appetite and digestion, and resolving phlegm and relieving cough. However, eating these aquatic plants raw can easily lead to infection with the ginger worm, causing inflammation, bleeding, edema, and even ulcers in the intestinal mucosa, usually accompanied by diarrhea and loss of appetite. After being infected, children will experience facial edema, developmental delay, intellectual impairment, etc. In severe cases, a few people may die from exhaustion or collapse. Therefore, it is taboo to eat aquatic plants raw during the Autumnal Equinox, and this point cannot be ignored. 3. Avoid eating fatty and sweet foods during the Autumnal Equinox <br /> Traditional Chinese medicine believes that during the Autumnal Equinox, one should focus on nourishing the lungs. If the lung qi is too much, it often leads to liver qi depression. Autumn dryness can easily damage body fluids. Therefore, in terms of diet, the focus should be on preventing dryness and protecting yin, nourishing yin and moistening the lungs. Try to eat lighter food and avoid fatty and sweet foods. 4. Avoid eating greasy fried foods during the Autumnal Equinox <br /> Many people like to eat fried chicken legs, fried quail and other greasy fried foods, but these foods are actually bad for health. They are difficult to digest and easily accumulate in the stomach. In addition, the spleen and stomach functions are weak, and eating greasy fried foods will increase the stagnant heat in the body, which is not conducive to the body's adaptation to the dry characteristics of autumn. |
