To improve the relatively weak condition of the spleen and stomach after summer, Chinese medicine health experts remind citizens that they can now appropriately eat more foods like lotus seeds to strengthen the spleen and stomach.
Li Jian, Chief Physician of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Characteristic Department of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, pointed out that the weather is now becoming increasingly cool and pleasant, and people's appetite has also significantly improved compared to summer, with both the variety and amount of food consumed increasing.
However, after a long, hot summer, the function of the spleen and stomach is relatively weak, and there is a lack of body fluids. The digestive and absorption functions cannot keep up for a time, so it is very easy to develop digestive tract problems at this point, such as indigestion, bloating, and diarrhea.
Experts remind citizens that to prevent digestive tract problems, they should eat less greasy food and not overeat; at the same time, they should also strengthen the spleen and stomach by eating more nuts such as lotus seeds, peanuts, chestnuts, hazelnuts, and walnuts. (Reporter Yang Fengli)
