Introduction

There is no specific custom on the day of the Beginning of Autumn in my country. The Beginning of Autumn is the season of clear skies and fragrant grains. The temperature turns from hot to cool, the body's consumption gradually decreases, and appetite begins to increase. People also tend to feel dryness in the mouth, nose, skin and other parts to varying degrees. At this time, you should eat moist and juicy foods that can nourish the body fluids and yin, and eat less spicy and fried foods. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs are closely related to the autumn air, so after entering autumn, you should eat more foods that can moisten the lungs and produce body fluids.

Notice

In autumn, most fruits are ripe, and there are many kinds of melons, fruits, legumes, and vegetables. Fish, meat, poultry, and eggs are also more abundant. People have a wider range of food choices, but they should pay attention to a balanced diet. The climate in autumn is dry. Although the night is cool, the temperature is sometimes still high during the day. Heat can damage body fluids and qi, and excessive dryness consumes body fluids. Therefore, in addition to mastering the diet and daily life, according to the principle of "moistening dryness", foods that nourish yin and clear heat, moisten dryness and quench thirst, and clear the heart and calm the mind should be the main ones. Sesame, honey, white fungus, dairy products and other foods with moisturizing effects can be selected.
