Why eat ginger in summer?

First of all, summer and March belong to fire. In hot summer, the yang qi of the human body also conforms to nature, rising and dispersing on the body surface, while the yang qi in the body is relatively weak. As the ancients said: “In May, the yang is on the surface, and the stomach is cold.” The May here refers to the fifth month of the lunar calendar. In response to the weakness of yang in the body, the diet in summer should reduce bitterness, and choose some spicy foods appropriately, such as ginger, fennel, scallion, etc. to balance the yin and yang of the viscera.

If you suddenly enter the indoor air-conditioned room, or shower with cold water, or just want to be cool, adjust the indoor air-conditioning temperature to Very low, so all kinds of external evils will take the opportunity to invade. Some may be onset at the time, while others may lie dormant and reoccur in autumn and winter. Therefore, you might as well eat some ginger at this time, not only to prevent colds, but also to leave the root of the disease in autumn and winter.
