"Twenty-four solar terms" said: "Summer is in the middle of June. Summer, summer, size, small at the beginning of the month, big in the month, and still hot today.

In addition to eating some cold foods to cool off the heat and prevent heatstroke, some places also have the custom of eating litchi, drinking mutton soup and drinking ginger tea. As we know, litchi, mutton and ginger are all warm foods. In the hot summer, why should we "add fuel to the fire" and "heat up again" in the hot and restless summer? Don't forget, there is also a folk proverb, "Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer". One argument is that summer is hot and humid, and the yang in the human body is easily damaged for a long time in this environment. In addition, people like to eat cold things in summer, and fans and air conditioners blow at them, so people can easily feel cold. At this time, eating some warm food in moderation can dispel the cold, help prevent gastrointestinal diseases and improve immunity.
