With the gentle breeze of late summer, we welcome the beginning of autumn in the 24 solar terms. The ancient saying goes, "The wind blows a leaf, and all things are startled by autumn." Although the scorching heat has not completely subsided, the air is quietly filled with the scent of autumn. During this critical period of seasonal transition, how to adapt to nature and maintain health scientifically has become a topic of common concern for us. Today, let's embark on this autumn health journey together, enjoying the beautiful time of golden autumn through "eating three melons and tasting two beans".
Eating three melons, relieving autumn fatigue, moistening the heart and spleen
Watermelon: the sweet continuation of summer coolness
On the day of the beginning of autumn, many places have the custom of "eating autumn melons", and watermelon is undoubtedly the star of this custom. Watermelon is not only juicy and refreshing, but also rich in various vitamins and minerals, which can effectively alleviate dryness and fatigue in early autumn. However, as the temperature gradually drops, attention should also be paid when eating watermelon. It is best to choose watermelon at room temperature to avoid being too cold and stimulating the spleen and stomach. Taste in moderation, let this sweetness from summer continue to nourish our hearts. Eggplant: a treasure trove of nutrients for seasonal vegetables. The proverb "Plant eggplants at the beginning of summer, eat eggplants at the beginning of autumn" reveals the seasonal consumption of eggplants. As a seasonal vegetable in early autumn, eggplant not only has a delicious taste, but also has extremely high nutritional value. It contains abundant vitamin P, potassium, and various alkaloids, which have a positive effect on protecting cardiovascular health and reducing cholesterol. Whether steamed, braised or cold mixed, eggplants can become a highlight on the dining table with their unique taste and rich nutrition. I highly recommend a simple and delicious steamed eggplant dish that perfectly blends the original flavor of eggplant with seasonings, leaving a lasting impression.
Winter melon: a great choice for moisturizing and drying in autumn
Winter melon is a precious fruit in late summer and early autumn. In the beginning of autumn, as the weather gradually dries up, winter melon becomes a great choice for moistening and drying due to its high water content and rich nutritional components. It not only replenishes the body's necessary water and electrolytes, but also promotes the elimination of excess water in the body, helping to alleviate the dryness and discomfort of autumn. Braised winter melon in brown sauce, Winter melon soup... These home-made dishes are not only simple and easy to make, but also delicious. They are regular guests on the table in autumn.
Eating two beans to supplement nutrition and welcome a bountiful harvest
Green beans: a green messenger for clearing heat and relieving summer heat
"Eating beans at the beginning of autumn promotes nutrition and longevity". Green beans, as one of the best legumes, still play an important role in early autumn. It has a sweet and cool taste, and has the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, relieving heat, and diuresis. At this time of seasonal transition, a cup of mung bean soup can not only relieve heatstroke and cool down, but also replenish the body with the necessary water and nutrients. Cooking with ingredients such as pork ribs and lotus seeds can enhance the overall taste and nutrition of mung bean soup.
Long beans: a fresh green scenery on the autumn dining table
In the beginning of autumn, long beans are in full production. This seemingly inconspicuous vegetable contains rich nutritional treasures. It is rich in protein, dietary fiber, and various vitamins and minerals, which have significant effects on promoting digestion, increasing appetite, and enhancing immunity. Stir fried eggs with green beans, cold mixed green beans... These simple and easy to make home cooked dishes not only fully utilize the delicious taste of long green beans, but also add a bright green touch to our autumn diet.
Adjust your schedule to follow the natural laws
In addition to adjusting your diet, we also need to pay attention to changing our daily habits after the beginning of autumn. As the days become shorter and the nights become longer, we should gradually reduce the frequency of staying up late and develop the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. This can not only alleviate the fatigue of autumn, but also improve the body's immunity and reduce the troubles of autumn dryness. Meanwhile, appropriate outdoor activities are also essential. Taking a walk, jogging, or engaging in other aerobic exercises on a sunny afternoon not only allows us to relax and enjoy our body and mind, but also enables us to better enjoy this golden autumn. The beginning of autumn is not only a transition of solar terms, but also a good time for health preservation. By "eating three melons and tasting two beans" and adjusting our daily habits, we can follow the natural laws and lay a good foundation for our bodies to welcome the arrival of autumn. Let's enjoy health and happiness together in this season full of hope and harvest!
