Starting July 11th, we enter the hottest and most humid and stuffy period of the year—the dog days of summer. 🥵
The dog days of summer last for about 30 days, with 10 days per "fu". 🍕The spleen and stomach are easily affected, leading to loss of appetite and indigestion. During this period, it's important to pay attention to your diet, distinguishing between cold, hot, deficient, and excess conditions, and applying appropriate remedies. Otherwise, it could further deplete Yang energy or exacerbate internal heat. 😱
🥶Individuals with cold-deficient constitutions who suffer from respiratory diseases such as asthma or bronchitis should eat fewer cold foods, like watermelon and cold drinks.
💧Drink plenty of hot water and hot tea. Sweating appropriately can help expel cold, promote circulation between the exterior and interior, and clear heat.
😓Cooling and dampness-transforming: Individuals prone to sweating/excessive sweating who experience symptoms such as insomnia, emotional agitation, or anxiety can appropriately consume bitter melon, mung beans, lotus seeds, lily bulbs, and Poria cocos in soups or other food remedies, which have the effects of transforming dampness and clearing heart fire.
