Wanwa scales are like a fire dragon, and the sun does not move, and the sweat beads melt. Outside the atmosphere of the feather feather, sit in the steaming kettle. This poem originates from Lu You's "Bitter Heat", which was created during the Xiaoxia solar term. This year is less than 10 days away from the 24 solar terms in the small summer solar term, the arrival of the small summer solar term means that the "dog days" are coming, many people generally believe: dog days should eat more "clear heat to fire, cool food", in fact, this is a misunderstanding. In the classic book of traditional Chinese medicine health culture, "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", it has been introduced that the weather is hot and dry on dog days in summer, and most of the human body will have the problem of "yin deficiency and fire".
Because the high temperature accelerates the metabolism of the human body, and the subtlety of the water valley in the human body is lost with the "sweat". At the same time, due to the decrease of human fluid, the digestive function of the spleen and stomach begins to weaken. At this time, if we overeat "cold" food, it can easily lead to "abdominal pain and diarrhea" or other stomach diseases. That's why the ancients used: a small summer to make up for the yang, and all diseases will not last long! That's how to describe it.
Then the tonic also needs a scientific method, especially not to overeat warm food. It is recommended to use the "warm supplement" method to warm and replenish the spleen and stomach, nourish the yang and protect the yang, and at the same time match a small amount of heat-clearing and heat-relieving foods such as watermelon and mung beans, so that one yin and one yang are more suitable for the current extraordinary period. As the saying goes: eat chicken in the summer and duck in the summer! The first recommendation for warming the spleen and stomach is chicken soup and chicken.
