夏季養生--先養心-- Summer Wellness —
On summer afternoons, it's common to feel sleepy, lose concentration, and become more irritable because of the heat.
夏日午後容易犯睏 ,心神不集中, 天氣炎熱, 容易焦躁!
According to the Five Elements, summer is associated with Fire and Earth. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is the season of the Heart and the Spleen/Stomach. To support heart health, eat more red-colored vegetables such as tomatoes and red amaranth. To nourish the spleen and stomach, include more yellow and green vegetables in your diet, such as pumpkin.
夏天在五行中屬火與土, 以中醫來說屬於心與脾胃的季節, 可多吃紅色蔬菜如番茄、紅莧菜等,增加血液循環; 脾胃方面可以多吃黃綠色蔬菜, 例如南瓜 。
At the same time, the hot weather can easily lead to restlessness and excessive internal heat, often referred to in TCM as "heart fire." Seasonal foods such as watermelon, Chinese cabbage, bitter melon, lotus root, and lotus seeds are excellent for cooling and calming the heart.
同時, 夏天炎熱,易感焦躁,小心心火旺! 所以當季盛產的西瓜、大白菜, 還有苦瓜, 蓮藕, 蓮子等, 都是很好清心的食材!
Equally important is to cultivate a peaceful mind, stay emotionally balanced, and maintain inner calm throughout the summer.
並且要學習靜心, 穩住心性!!
