What foods are good to eat in autumn

Autumn is the season when the yang energy in nature is declining and the yin energy is gaining strength. The overall principle of the autumn diet is to increase sour foods, such as citrus, loquat, pineapple and other foods. The sour taste has an astringent effect and can ensure that the lung qi does not dissipate too much, thus playing a role in replenishing the lung, while the spicy taste has a dispersing effect and can drain the lung qi, so we should eat as little spicy and stimulating food as possible in autumn, such as onion, ginger, garlic, and chili pepper. Therefore, foods that nourish the lung and moisten the lung are preferred in autumn, such as pear, lily of the valley, yam, silver fungus, honey, etc. You can also eat some medicinal meals that nourish the lung and yin, such as Sichuan shellfish stewed with snow pear and lily of the valley silver fungus soup. In addition, it is advisable to eat a light diet in autumn. You can eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as spinach, celery, chrysanthemum, amaranth, lotus root, carrot, apple and grapefruit, etc. A light diet can also provide enough vitamins and carotenoids.
