Introduction: The dog days of summer are the hottest time of the year, as well as the period when the body’s metabolism is at its peak. Due to the high temperatures, the activity of catalytic enzymes in the body becomes more active. That’s why during the dog days of summer, sweating continuously is necessary, hence the saying “If toxins are not expelled during the dog days, the body will be toxic for the entire year.”
In addition to exercising, moxibustion, and other methods, detoxification during the dog days of summer can also be achieved through dietary adjustments. Today, I will recommend three foods that clear liver fire and expel dampness and toxins. They are most suitable to eat now and will make you feel light and relaxed.
