Today marked the third solar term of autumn, White Dew. It means that mid-autumn has begun. Summer heat gradually diminishes and the temperature difference between day and night becomes large. It is advised to add or remove clothes in a timely manner and pay attention to keeping the belly warm. The air humidity decreases after White Dew and we should take heed to nourish the lungs. When it comes to food, it is advised to mainly eat food that clears heat and moisturizes the body. e.g. cucumbers and winter melons. Taking in more orange and yellow vegetables like pumpkins is also recommended. Seasonal crops change with time. Consuming plants in season gives the benefit of less pesticides when the vegetables are planted and harvested at the best time. The taste is better, too. Also, as it is in season, the production is more while the price is less.
