Hot weather may decrease your appetite. You might crave for desserts and specialty drinks while you are out, and head straight to the fridge for a cold soda when you are home. You are thirsty and have dry mouth because you sweat too much in summer, resulting in loss of qi and fluid. You might try to cool down by eating many cold/raw food. Chinese medicine believes that ‘sweat is the heart’s fluid’. So it is important to calm your mind and avoid nourishing food in early summer. Otherwise, skin allergies are prone to act up in summer. Appropriately consume ingredients that can clear heat and promote diuresis as well as avoid stimulating foods. No matter how hot it is, remember to eat three meals on time to protect spleen and stomach. Foods to eat appropriately in the summer: Seasonal melons and fruits- winter melon, watermelon, cucumber, pineapple, hairy gourd, luffa Bitter- bitter melon, celery, lettuce, wolfberry leaves Sour- pineapple, kiwi, hawthorn, lemon, passion fruit, mango Heart nourishing ingredients- red beans, strawberries, red grapes, red date Cold in nature- sprouts, water chestnuts, tomato, bak choy, white radish, spinach Summer menu to strengthen the spleen and stomach and calm the mind Breakfast: steamed sweet potato / dried scallops millet porridge / tomato soup rice noodles Lunch: steamed meatloaf with ice fish / sweet and sour fish / tofu soup rice with luffa Afternoon Tea: two types of fruits in a bowl, such as cherry tomatoes, cherries, strawberries, red grapes, etc. #男 #女 #濕熱 #痰濕 #濕疹

The summer heat can cause people to sweat too much and leading to decrease of body fluids. Actually, the above behaviours cannot clear summer heat but will allow wind-cold and dampness pathogens to attack the body, causing the fluid and spleen and stomach transport to malfunction which leads to heat stroke. Chinese medicine believes that people should have health living according to the four seasons and climate change. During early summer, aside from nourishing your heart and qi, you should strengthen the spleen and stomach in this moist and humid season. Then you can dispel dampness and feel more refreshed. Using the right methods to clear summer heat and dispel dampness is the best way to maintain health in early summer! Dos & Don’ts in early summer ❌Eat or drink cold/raw food. Coldness and dampness will harm spleen and stomach. Appropriately consume ingredients such as melons to relieve summer heat. ❌Always wear tight materials that will disrupt sweat flow which can worsen skin allergies. ❌Avoid seats near the fan or air condition. The proper temperature of air condition is 25.5°C. ✔Wear a hat or bring an umbrella to protect from sunlight. Wear breathable materials such as cotton or linen to drive away sweat. ✔Exercise regularly. Slightly sweating helps to dispel dampness. ✔Sunbathing helps to raise yang qi. Remember to always drink water and do not sunbathe for long time. ✔Take time out to space out or meditate. It is better to take care of your heart in summer by cultivating your spirit.
