Doctor Lin Kailing: Take advantage of the dog days to replenish the yang of the spleen and stomach! Just eat these 3 kinds of affordable and effective foods
Dr. Lin Kailing from Hongyun Chinese Medicine Spleen and Stomach Department introduced that the dog days are a golden period for health maintenance, especially suitable for supplementing and nurturing the body’s yang. I am Dr. Lin, and today I want to share with everyone a simple and economical method to help you fully supplement the yang of the spleen and stomach this summer.
In summer, the high temperature often makes people sweat profusely, and excessive sweating can consume the body’s yang. Insufficient yang may lead to tiredness, lack of vitality, decreased appetite, and even lowered resistance. Therefore, supplementing yang in summer is important in traditional Chinese health care. When it comes to replenishing yang, many people may think the process is complicated, but in fact, it can be easily achieved through daily diet. Today, let me tell you
The first one is ginger. Ginger is a great choice for replenishing yang in summer. As the saying goes, “Eat radishes in winter and ginger in summer, no need for a doctor’s prescription”. Ginger is warm in nature and helps warm the spleen and stomach, dispelling cold and dampness from the body. For those who like cold drinks and food in summer, drinking water boiled with ginger can not only dispel cold qi in the body but also promote the digestion and absorption functions of the spleen and stomach.
The second one is lamb. Lamb is another good choice for replenishing yang in summer. Although some people think that lamb is hot in nature and can easily cause an imbalance of internal heat, moderate consumption of lamb in summer, especially for those with insufficient yang, can effectively replenish yang, enhance the body’s resistance to cold, and strengthen the physique.
The last one is mung beans. Although mung beans are cool in nature, they are a holy product for relieving summer heat. In the hot summer, a bowl of sweet mung bean soup can not only clear heat and detoxify, prevent internal heat, but also promote the operation of the spleen and stomach. As one of the grains, mung beans are greatly beneficial to the health of the spleen and stomach.
Above are some simple methods for replenishing yang during the dog days. By adjusting the diet reasonably, we can keep the body’s yang sufficient in the hot summer days, and enjoy health and vitality. I hope these suggestions are helpful to everyone!
