Today's summer solar terms, what exactly does the rural old saying "it's not allowed in the dog days" mean?

0 1, eel

Eel is actually a kind of freshwater fish. Eels can often be seen in many streams or lakes and at the bottom of rivers. You like to live in the mud layer of rivers. If the river dries up, people will often dig eels together. Eels can usually be dug where there is a hole at the bottom of the river, and they are dug accurately every time. In fact, it is good at it all year round, but only eel meat is the most plump and nutritious in summer and solar terms. Usually, eels produced from June to August every year are the best.

02, lotus root

In fact, as early as the feudal society, lotus root was a tribute dish with complete functions. For example, it can strengthen the spleen and remove odor. In summer, a plate of cold lotus root slices is also a special appetizer, which can effectively solve the problem of loss of appetite.

03. mung bean

Mung bean is actually a very common bean in life. First of all, this kind of bean can be made into mung bean sprouts, which are particularly delicious and rich in nutrition. Secondly, you can also cook mung beans into mung bean soup. Drinking mung bean soup in summer can speed up metabolism and prevent water loss, which is a good product for relieving summer heat.

Then let's look at three no's:

0 1, not greedy.

It's very hot in summer, and many people will eat a lot of cold drinks or stay in air-conditioned rooms for a long time, or take a cold shower directly, which is actually a manifestation of gluttony. If you are greedy in summer, it will be very dangerous to your health.

02. Don't stay up late.

Nowadays, many young people actually have the bad habit of staying up late, and even many young people will stay up late to play games. In this way, your sleep will be seriously insufficient, which will affect your work or study the next day. After the summer solar term, everyone must form the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early.

03, neither greedy nor greasy

After the solar term in summer, eat as little greasy food as possible, or not at all, and eat as much light food as possible. For example, you can eat some millet porridge, pumpkin or spinach, which is more helpful to relieve summer heat and reduce fire, and clear away heat and toxic materials.
