Barley, lotus seeds, watermelon and ice porridge

In summer, you need to eat more of four kinds of fruits and vegetables to nourish your heart. People take food as their first priority, but there is a way to eat. The so-called spring warmth, summer heat, autumn coolness, and winter coldness not only indicate the natural law of the change of the four seasons, but also highlight the way of eating. In this regard, Wang Guowei, deputy director of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, who has done a lot of research on diet and health preservation, said with deep feeling, "The concept of traditional Chinese medicine believes that man and nature are harmonious and unified, and people should adapt to the laws of nature, especially in diet." The most basic principle is to "eat according to people, places, and seasons." For example, watermelon has the effects of removing heat, clearing heat, and diuresis, which is very suitable for eating in summer, but for people with weak spleen and stomach, it is not suitable to eat too much. In terms of region, since the south is mostly in the rainy season in summer, you should eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and dry dampness, such as coix seed. The climate in the north is dry, so you should pay attention to nourishing the lungs and moistening dryness, and eat lilies. Of course, in addition to paying attention to eating according to time and place, it is more important to eat according to time. Chinese medicine says that we should nourish the liver in spring, the heart in summer, the lungs in autumn, the kidneys in winter, and the spleen and stomach in all seasons. Heart-protecting foods should be the focus of summer. You can eat more of the following four common heart-protecting fruits and vegetables in summer.
