3️⃣ Pay attention to your diet during the dog days of summer
Starting July 11th, we enter the hottest period of the year—the dog days of summer, and also the most humid and muggy. 🥵
The hottest period of summer (Sanfu) lasts approximately 30 days, divided into 10-day periods. During this time, the spleen and stomach are easily weakened, leading to loss of appetite and indigestion. It's crucial to differentiate between cold and hot, deficient and excessive foods and supplement accordingly; otherwise, it will further deplete Yang energy and exacerbate the condition. 😱
People with a cold constitution, such as those with respiratory diseases like asthma or bronchitis, should eat less cold foods, such as watermelon and cold drinks.
💧Drinking more hot water and hot tea, and sweating moderately, can help dispel cold and clear heat from the body.
😓Relieving summer heat and dampness: People with a constitution that is prone to sweating or excessive sweating are prone to symptoms such as insomnia, emotional agitation, or anxiety. They can eat appropriate amounts of bitter melon, mung beans, lotus seeds, lily bulbs, poria cocos, etc. in soups and diets, which can help to relieve dampness and clear heart fire.
