How to Adjust Diet During Summer-Autumn Transition

🔑 Keywords: Pharmacological Diet · How should we reasonably adjust and balance our diet during the transition from summer to autumn? Experts advise readers that during summer, we should eat foods that clear heat and detoxify, but after the Start of Autumn, the weather becomes dry—avoid excessive tonification. Breakfast should ideally include a bowl of congee to moisturize the body and benefit health.<br>1. What should we eat during the summer-autumn transition?<br>During this transitional period, avoid excessive tonification and refrain from eating heavy meals of fish and meat every day. Opt for moderate tonification. As the weather turns dry, consume light, moistening foods that nourish the lungs, such as lotus root, honey, pear soup with rock sugar, etc. Maintain balanced nutrition and ensure proper pairing of vegetables and meats. Avoid raw, cold fruits and greasy foods. Elderly individuals, whose digestive function declines, should eat easily digestible foods and adopt a pattern of small, frequent meals to prevent excessive burden on the gastrointestinal tract.<br>2. How should cerebrovascular disease patients adjust their diet during this season?<br>Control fat intake—avoid overly oily foods. Eat more fish and chicken, as their texture is finer compared to pork and beef. However, if consuming chicken, it is best to remove the skin, as chicken skin contains high levels of fat, which may negatively affect the condition.<br>3. What should be done if children refuse to eat? What foods are suitable?<br>Children should eat soft, easily digestible, and highly absorbable foods. Since children’s digestive systems are delicate, avoid hard foods. Parents should help control food portions—overeating can easily cause internal fire. Limit raw, cold, spicy, and stimulating foods. Use mildly sweet, moistening ingredients like sesame, honey, and loquat.<br>4. How to supplement calcium during this season?<br>Calcium loss increases gradually with age, so calcium supplementation should begin in middle age. The most common method is drinking milk, which contains abundant calcium easily absorbed by the body—but avoid drinking on an empty stomach. Research shows calcium is better absorbed in acidic environments, so taking calcium supplements with orange juice can enhance absorption. Taking calcium before bedtime yields better results. Some calcium tablets contain magnesium because magnesium promotes calcium absorption and stabilizes nerves—taking it before bed can improve sleep quality.<br>5. What dietary precautions should be taken for facial acne?<br>Those with widespread acne or skin sores should avoid lamb, crab, shrimp, and spicy, stimulating foods. In summer, consume foods that clear heat and detoxify, such as winter melon, bitter melon, mung beans, chrysanthemum, etc. After the Start of Autumn, reduce consumption of melons. In early autumn, avoid excessive lamb intake. Grains should constitute the majority of daily diet.
