máng zhòng芒种：máng lù忙碌yòu又zhòng yào重要de的xià rì夏日jié qì节气
June 5 is China’s "Mangzhong."
It is the third solar term of summer.
"Mang" refers to crops such as wheat, and "zhong" means to plant or sow.
At this time, farmers are busy harvesting wheat and planting new rice, making it one of the busiest periods of the year.
After Mangzhong, the weather becomes hotter and hotter, there is more rain, and the air also becomes more humid.
In such an environment, people can easily feel tired, and their appetite may get worse.
Therefore, it is especially important to pay attention to health during this period.
First is diet.
It is best to eat light food.
You can eat more water-rich vegetables such as bitter melon and winter melon, or drink some mung bean soup, which can help reduce heat in the body.
Second is rest.
Because summer days are long, people can get up a little earlier and then take a half-hour nap at noon.
After sweating, do not turn on the air conditioner right away. It is best to wipe off the sweat first before using it, so as to avoid catching a cold.
Also, when exercising, do not make yourself sweat too much. A walk in the cooler morning or evening is enough.
Hot weather can easily make people irritable, so keeping a calm mood is also very important.
Mangzhong is not only the beginning of the harvest, but also the time to sow new hope.
As long as we take good care of our bodies during this solar term and develop good living habits, we can spend the summer healthily and comfortably.
