As the old saying goes, “Food is the key to people’s lives. The human organism starts from normal growth and development, absorbs various types of adequate nutrition, and then completes a number of physiological functions without a healthy and reasonable diet. Then want to nourish health through diet, three meals a day is the most basic elements we should pay attention to, the diet is appropriate and reasonable with the impact on people’s bodies and lives. A, different body type, diet is different summer seasonal health, in addition to taking into account the seasonal heat and humidity factors, but also take into account the differences of individuals, only to do according to the person according to the appropriate time, in order to achieve the “time for health” the best realm. 1, hot and humid physique should eat “bitter” summer nature, hot and humid physique in the summer will feel uncomfortable, such as heavy body, chest tightness, body heat, red face, pulse number, head and face more oil, hair more oil. For this kind of “bitter summer” people advocate eating more “bitter”, and preferably cold food. The “Compendium of Materia Medica” says: “Eat cold in spring, eat cold in summer to nourish Yang.” Chinese medicine believes that bitter cold food can dry dampness and clear heat, but also can strengthen the spleen, in addition to dampness, can help remove excess dampness and heat in the body. Bitter flavors are known for clearing heat, dipping fire, drying dampness, lowering qi and detoxifying the body, like orange peel, bitter almonds, bitter melon and lily of the valley. According to the “Compendium of Materia Medica” and “Food Therapy Materia Medica”, ginseng, prince’s ginseng, bitter melon, lily, chrysanthemum, Chen Pi, Buddha’s hand, peach kernel, etc. are bitter. 2, cold physique should eat “warm” summer yang in the table, the body Yang Qi is not enough. Just like the summer weather is hot, but the well water is cold. For people with a cold body, the summer weather is hot, and at this time the digestive ability of people will be affected. There will be a loss of harmony between the spleen and stomach, poor absorption, gastrointestinal plant nerve dysfunction such as loss of appetite and inability to eat, and in severe cases, weakness, bloating, palpitations, sweating, insomnia, and excessive dreaming. A few women also have gynecological symptoms such as irregular menstruation, increased leucorrhea and swelling of the waist. This kind of body is on the cold side of people in the summer should not eat too much cold food, but to eat more warm food. Therefore, the proverb “eat radish in winter, eat ginger in summer” is actually for such cold body people, for hot body, damp-heat body people try not to eat too warm food. 3, hot physique should eat “cool” vegetative Yang heat people, such as often love to fire, or dry stools, or love to drink cold water, and do not feel uncomfortable after drinking, but feel very cool. Then in the hot summer although they Yang heat in the body surface, the body Yang heat is less, but still more than the general yin and Yang calm people Yang heat. At this time, you can eat more cold food to ensure the normal balance of yin and yang, but also pay attention not to eat too much cold, so as not to overdo it and damage the yang energy. 4, the weak body should eat “acid” summer heat and humidity steaming, people generally sweat more, which can help the body to dissipate excess heat and moisture in the body. For people who have a deficient Yang, Yin or Qi, too much sweating not only damages the body’s Yin, but also causes Yang to be lost with the sweat, resulting in the performance of “Qi leaking with Jin”, resulting in similar sweating, shortness of breath, and faintness. Therefore, for this kind of people advocate eating more sour food, acid can nourish yin and benefit qi, acid can astringent fixed sweat, prevent sweating too much caused by the fluid leakage. Appropriate sour food, such as tomatoes, lemons, strawberries, umeboshi, grapes, etc. can astringent sweat and promote the body, stomach and appetite, can prevent excessive sweating and depletion of Qi and Yin. According to the “Compendium of Materia Medica” and “Food Therapy Materia Medica”, lemon, plum, sour date, pomegranate peel, hawthorn, orange, kiwi, horsetail, etc. are all acidic foods. Second, it is advisable to light “Lv’s Spring and Autumn” said: “fatty meat and thick wine, the task of self-improvement, the order is said to rotten intestines of food.” Often eat fatty, sweet, thick and greasy, fried and fried, too spicy food, can produce phlegm and dampness in the body, and over time make the liver and Yang on the hyperactive, spleen and Yang deficiency. In fact, regardless of the season should be a light diet, especially in summer. Because in the summer, the body itself responds to the changes in yin and yang and Yang qi is declared, often eat fatty, sweet and thick flavors sticky and difficult to digest, will increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, resulting in the weakness of the spleen and Yang, and the emergence of phlegm and dampness. Therefore, “Sun Zhen Zhen health song commentary” said: “three volcano days, food especially light taste to reduce, so that the spleen and stomach is easy to grind, then abdominal diseases are not born.” It means that in summer we should eat a simple diet that the spleen and stomach can easily digest, so as to eliminate the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases. A light diet is what is usually called “a light meal”. Third, should be nourishing “Zun Sheng eight paper – summer regimen news theory” said: “after the summer solstice, the midnight a yin born, it is appropriate to serve hot things, and serve kidney tonics.” In summer, when summer heat is in full force, Yin is easily damaged, so it is advisable to take such medicines as kidney tonics to protect kidney water. In summer, pungent, warm, dry and strong products should be used with caution, so as not to open and drain too much, depleting the qi and yin, plus more sweating in summer is likely to cause a lack of yin and blood, tendons and veins lose nourishment, the prescription of medicine should be considered in a comprehensive manner, with appropriate nourishing Yin and Jin drugs, to ensure that the body’s yang and yin and blood and regulation. Fourth, be careful to eat cold, fat and sweet (should not wantonly eat cold) “Sun Zhen Zhen health song commentary” said: “the summer time, volatile yin within, slightly late decay, melon and fruit garden vegetables, more will produce phlegm, ice water and cinnamon syrup, raw and cold phase value, grammed especially difficult.” In summer, the Yang heat outside, Yin latent in the body, the human gastrointestinal function declined, the natural underground well water cold, everything is hot outside and cold inside the image, at this time if excessive craving for cold food, easy to damage the body’s Yang, especially will hurt the spleen and stomach of Yang, so that the cold and damp Sheng in the body, not easily digested by the spleen and stomach caused by vomiting and diarrhea. Especially for the elderly, the spleen and stomach yang energy has gradually declined, and the wanton consumption of cold fruits and vegetables will further injure the kidney yang, resulting in more than diarrhea. Children’s spleen and stomach are weak in transporting and transforming functions, so eating cold and raw food can easily damage the spleen and Yang, resulting in long-term loss of appetite, abdominal pain, abnormal stools and other symptoms. Women have a special physiological process of menstruation, belt, fetus and childbirth, prone to Qi deficiency and blood deficiency, the characteristics of blood is like warm and cold, so women should not eat cold, especially during menstruation, after childbirth more attention. Excessive consumption of raw cold not only hurts the spleen and stomach, but also causes excessive leucorrhea, dysmenorrhea and even infertility due to the coldness of the uterus. The treatment of infertility in Chinese medicine first requires avoiding raw cold, so eating raw cold in summer must be restrained. Five, diet to pay attention to health Chinese saying is good: “Drinking water clean, no plague.” “Dredge the well to change the water on the summer solstice, and drill the flint to change the fire on the winter solstice, you can go to the warm disease.” It shows that the ancients recognized at a very early stage that unclean food and drink could lead to diseases. The “regulation of disease diet defense” says: “spring and summer rain, mountain water soaring, toxic, mountain dwellings and other water to draw, it is advisable to pound garlic or alum end a little, put into the tank.” The “Materia Medica Justice” recorded: “Therefore, when the epidemic is prevalent, it is advisable to dip Guanzhong into the water tank, often drink it is not infectious, and well water sink a, do not commit a hundred poison, then the detoxification of the function, and its unique.” These records reflect the wisdom of the ancients in the prevention of summer digestive tract infectious diseases. Summer, especially the long summer, hot and humid climate is particularly suitable for the breeding and reproduction of bacteria and viruses, coupled with the summer people drink more water, stomach acid is diluted, the defense function of the digestive tract is weakened, and then do not pay attention to dietary hygiene is particularly susceptible to enteritis, dysentery and other infectious diseases of the digestive tract. Therefore, good dietary hygiene and personal hygiene habits are the most important measures to prevent intestinal infectious diseases in summer. Do not buy spoiled ingredients, food is best to eat now, overnight food should be fully heated before eating, raw fruits and vegetables should be cleaned and disinfected. When making cold dishes, garlic and vinegar should be added, which can be seasoned and sterilized, as well as to enhance appetite; do not eat too much cold, to keep the spleen and stomach function strong. If you pay attention to these aspects, you will be able to achieve “the righteousness of the internal, the evil can not dry.
