An old Chinese doctor said that warm and tonic food should be eaten in summer. Especially for people with weak spleen and stomach, they cant eat too much cold drinks or often eat cold food, but they hurt the spleen and stomach even more. So in summer, besides being light and less greasy, the dietary principle should also be based on "warm food". For example, Qiu Chuji, a famous health-care family in Yuan Dynasty, advocated that the diet in summer should be "warm, not full, always in season... It is fattening to be a precept. It means that the food in midsummer should be slightly hot, not too cold, and not eat too much. Folk sayings also say, "Eat turnips in winter and ginger in summer." In winter, its cold to eat radish, but in summer, its warm ginger. First, people tend to eat cold food in summer, and they tend to eat too much cold food. At the same time, they sweat too much and lose too much body fluid. On the contrary, they tend to be weak, so they have to eat warm food.
