What should we pay attention to in four seasons diet?

The reason why diet changes with the changes of the four seasons is mainly because of the changes of external conditions such as temperature and humidity in the four seasons, and diet is a complex and difficult knowledge, which is not bound by unchangeable laws. Therefore, Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, said, "Eat less sour sweets in spring, less spicy food with more bitterness in summer, less spicy and sour food in autumn and more bitter food in winter, but generally speaking, we need to eat less sweets and more salty food all year round.

Eat more sour food in spring, such as foods containing vitamin C, fruits containing organic acids, sweet and sour, spicy vegetables and so on. Scientific research has found that these sour foods contain certain substances, which can double the absorption rate of inorganic salts such as calcium, iron and zinc.

Bitter foods, such as bitter gourd and oil wheat vegetables, have the effect of clearing away heat and reducing fire, and moderate intake of such foods is beneficial to health.

It is the right time to nourish the lungs in autumn when the climate is dry and the weather turns cold. You can add spicy food, such as ginger and garlic, to your diet, which can not only improve your immunity, but also enhance your blood circulation.

Tonifying the kidney in winter is a good time to tonify the kidney, because it belongs to water and governs the kidney meridian. Therefore, we should eat more black food with heavy taste, such as fungus, black beans and sesame seeds.
