Xiaoman, one of the 24 solar terms in China, usually occurs around May 20 every year. During this season, the temperature gradually rises, the crops begin to thrive, and the land is full of life. However, the climate of the small full season is also distinctive, and the heat of summer is bound to make people's bodies feel some discomfort, so there are corresponding adjustments and taboos in diet.
The climate of the small full season is characterized by hot and humid, and the air is full of hot and humid breath. This climate can easily lead to the accumulation of moisture in the human body, which can easily cause physical discomfort, such as dry mouth, loss of appetite, and fatigue. Therefore, in the small full season, you need to pay attention to avoid eating some foods that are harmful to the body in order to maintain the health of the body. As the saying goes: "If you don't eat Xiaoman 3, you will have trouble eating Xia An". So, what exactly does the "3 don't eat" mean?
First of all, it is not advisable to eat more spicy and greasy food during the small season. Spicy foods can easily trigger mouth sores and irritation, while greasy foods can lead to indigestion and body oil buildup. Therefore, in the small full season, you should try to eat less spicy and irritating food, and choose light and easy-to-digest food.
Secondly, it is not advisable to eat more raw and cold food during the small full season. Raw and cold food can damage the human spleen and stomach, resulting in weakened digestive function, which can easily cause digestive diseases such as diarrhea and abdominal pain. Therefore, in the small full season, you should try to avoid eating raw and cold fruits, vegetables and other foods, and choose foods that have been cooked and heated.
Finally, it is not advisable to eat more hot and dry food during the small full season. Hot and dry food can easily lead to uncomfortable symptoms such as dry mouth and dry stool, which affects the health of the body. Therefore, in the small full season, you should try to eat less hot foods such as mutton and durian, and choose cool and dry foods.
