芒种苦夏开始了,人们常常没有食欲,影响饮食,过多食用冷饮,也会造成脾胃伤害。所以,在饮食上面,宜清淡、忌贪凉。
多食应季果蔬
夏季蔬菜丰富,可多吃黄瓜、西红柿、冬瓜、苦瓜、茄子等应季食蔬。夏季在中医“五味”中对应于苦味,主入心经,适当吃些苦瓜等苦味的蔬菜,对人体大有裨益。芒种宜吃粥古代医药学家李时珍提出,粥是夏季最佳饮食,可将绿豆、莲子、荷叶、芦根、扁豆等加入粳米中煮粥,凉后食用可健脾胃、祛暑热。Grain in Ear, known as "Mangzhong" in Chinese, is the ninth solar term in the traditional Chinese calendar and the third solar term of summer. It marks the beginning of the Wu month in the Chinese lunar calendar. When the Big Dipper points to the Si direction and the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 75°, this solar term commences annually on June 5-7 in the Gregorian calendar. The term "Mangzhong" signifies "the time for planting awn-bearing crops." During this period, temperatures rise significantly with abundant rainfall and high humidity, creating optimal conditions for planting late rice and other cereal crops. Farming activities are bounded by this solar term—crop survival rates decline progressively if planted thereafter. This reflects ancient agricultural culture's alignment with seasonal cycles.
Daily Routines
During Grain in Ear, adopt a rhythm of sleeping late and rising early. Moderate sun exposure helps harmonize with flourishing yang energy, promoting blood circulation and mental vitality. The folk saying "During Grain in Ear and Summer Solstice, walking needs dragging; dragging requires pulling; pulling demands pushing" vividly depicts people's lethargy in this season. Embrace nature's rhythm by reducing labor intensity, maintaining calmness, and taking short noon naps to dispel fatigue. Despite prevailing heat and humidity, residual damp-cold lingers in the environment. Avoid excessive skin exposure, especially during rainy days with high moisture levels.
Dietary Practices
As "bitter summer" begins at Grain in Ear, people often experience loss of appetite. Overconsumption of cold beverages may harm the spleen and stomach. Thus, prioritize light foods and avoid excessive cold intake.
Seasonal Fruits and Vegetables
Summer offers abundant vegetables: increase intake of seasonal produce like cucumbers, tomatoes, winter melons, bitter gourds, and eggplants. In Traditional Chinese Medicine's Five Flavors system, summer corresponds to bitter taste—entering the heart meridian. Moderate consumption of bitter vegetables like bitter gourd benefits the body significantly.
Porridge Recommendation
Renowned ancient pharmacologist Li Shizhen advocated porridge as summer's ideal nourishment. Cook congee with mung beans, lotus seeds, lotus leaves, reed roots, and hyacinth beans added to japonica rice. Consumed cool, this porridge strengthens the spleen and stomach while dispelling summer heat.
