For some deficiency cold diseases such as asthma, Allergic rhinitis, and empty people's colds, we should seize this time to "treat winter diseases in summer". On the dog days, the yang qi in the human body tends to move upwards, which can lead to a strong heart fire and "middle deficiency". At this time, people are prone to irritability and even affect sleep. If they eat too much cold and raw fruits, it can easily damage the yang qi of the spleen and stomach.

Soup review: Many friends travel during the summer vacation, and irregular eating and rest can easily cause gastrointestinal damage. After returning from the trip, not only do you need to rest yourself, but you also need to give your stomach and intestines a rest. So we recommend this soup made of porridge and water. This Congee water is made from fried rice. The fried rice is better for tonifying the spleen and stomach and stopping diarrhea. In addition, the lotus seed thicken fruit, which can tonify the spleen, stop diarrhea, and calm the mind, has a better effect. The porridge water has the smell of rice. There is no need to put more meat. A little lean meat is delicious. Add the dried tangerine peel, one of the three treasures of Lingnan, which is often used to make soup, and the Congee water will have a little fruity smell. Of course, tangerine peel is also a great magic weapon for regulating the Qi of the spleen and stomach in the middle energizer. Tips: Use lean meat instead of using overly fatty meat to make this soup. (Reporter Zhao Dongqin)
