Healthy diet in early autumn


August 8 is the Beginning of Autumn, or Liqiu, in China's 24 solar terms. After Liqiu, the temperature will begin to fall gradually. In early autumn, when
the weather is still hot in the daytime but cool at night, a healthy diet should include ingredients like pumpkin or lotus seeds which are nourishing.
Pumpkin It is always dry in autumn. Many people's lips and skin are dry and chapped. β-carotene in pumpkins can be changed into vitamin A, and pumpkins
contain vitamin E. These two kinds of vitamins can improve our body's dry condition. Also, in traditional Chinese medical science, pumpkin is considered good
for the stomach and spleen.
