What to eat on a rainy day?

The heavy rain for several days has made people tired and uneasy. In fact, this is caused by "dampness and heat". The symptoms of damp heat include heaviness and fever in the limbs, which are mostly obvious in the afternoon and are not relieved by sweating.

First, eat less "damp and hot" products. Many people think that only eating deep-fried foods such as fried dough sticks and fried chicken wings can cause "heat". In fact, roasted duck and roasted goose are also "moist". It is better to eat less of these foods during thunderstorms.

What kind of food is suitable for eating on a rainy day? Although cucumbers are a good refreshing dish, because there are two more garlics in them, the spicy and moist food will be eaten into your stomach. Spicy foods such as chili peppers, mustard, pepper, etc. may also help damp heat build up in your body.

In addition, once the oil temperature is too high when cooking, it may cause the food to become hot and humid. Among vegetables, kale, onions and leeks can also promote damp heat. Among meats, beef, mutton, and dog meat are "relatively close" to dampness and heat.

The second is to eat foods that can dispel "dampness and heat". Peanut oil, rapeseed oil and corn oil are less likely to cause moisture and heat problems. Foods suitable for dispelling "dampness and heat" during thunderstorms include pumpkin, poria, shepherd's purse, daylily, lettuce, winter melon, crucian carp, adzuki beans, coix kernels, corn, etc.
