In autumn, the whole body is hot, thirsty and upset. What should I eat?

According to the predecessors, there will be fire in July and clothes will be given in September, which means that the weather will gradually turn cold in July and winter clothes will be bought in September. Then according to the China lunar calendar, July to September is autumn. In this cool season, we often feel that our skin is very dry, our whole body is very hot, we are often thirsty and even a little irritable. These are all due to excessive yang caused by external cold and internal heat, which can be improved by eating some cool or slightly cold foods.

First, eat more pears in autumn. Take the pears in Dangshan, Anhui as an example. The pears in September are the sweetest. This is because pears at this time have accumulated the sweetness of the whole summer, and added a little coolness in this crisp autumn season, so the biggest role of autumn pears is to remove fire and moisten the lungs. In autumn, if you feel feverish all over or cough and dry mouth, a pear is the best antidote. However, if you can make rock sugar stewed Sydney, that would be the best.

Second, eat more duck in autumn. There is a long-standing Korean proverb that if someone wants to treat you to duck, you should eat it even if you have to pay for it yourself. You can see the benefits of duck meat here. In autumn, because the weather and people can't reach the level of harmony between yin and yang, duck meat is very suitable for nourishing yin and invigorating qi. In addition, duck soup has a wide range of functions, not to mention its blood-enriching effect, and it is also the best diet in autumn as far as appetite is concerned.

Third, eat more black food in autumn. There is a saying in Chinese medicine that summer disease is cured in winter and kidney is nourished in autumn, which means that the kidney is the most fragile in autumn. This is because it is an important process that the human body changes from sweat detoxification to urine detoxification in the process of weather transformation, so tonifying the kidney becomes very important. Black food is a natural nourishing kidney food. In autumn, you can eat more fungus, sesame seeds, etc., and you can also mix with yam, medlar, red dates, etc., and the effect is better. Finally, in the autumn at the turn of summer and winter, we should not only pay attention to removing fire, but also pay attention to tonifying kidney.
