【#24節氣 – 秋分】已經踏入秋季的一半了！
#秋分
#秋季的中間點
#宜滋陰潤肺
古籍《春秋繁露》記載：「秋分者，陰陽相半也，故晝夜均而寒暑平。」秋分剛好是秋季的中間點，晝夜時間長短相等，過了秋分這一天，北半球的白天就會變得越來越短，天氣也跟著慢慢轉涼。因為秋天是容易勾起人們愁緒的季節，飲食以「滋陰潤肺，寧心安神」為原則，配合體質，適量食用糯米、黑芝麻、梨子、蘋果、柚子、蜂蜜等，滋潤之餘有助保持神志安寧。
秋季日照時間短，花木凋零，有些人會因為天氣而產生憂鬱情緒，要注意精神上的調養，培養樂觀情緒。趁中秋節與家人共聚天倫，珍惜一家人團聚的時光。
溫馨提示：
・秋風送爽，行山好時節
・柚子當造，有消滯通便作用・喝米水，先健脾胃再潤燥
・吃月餅後喝杯穀芽麥芽茶助消滯
・大閘蟹寒涼，份量適可而止
Autumn equinox solar term
Autumn equinox marks the midway of fall and day and night time are even. After today the day time in the northern hemisphere will become longer and temperature will slowly fall. Fall is a time that people may become moody so diet should focus on nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, calm the mind and heart. Based on body type, appropriate ingredients include glutinous rice, black sesame, pear, apple, pomelo, and honey.
The day is short in the fall and plants begin to wither and some people may become emotional. Remember to properly manage your mental state and be optimistic. Spend good family time together during the midautumn festival and enjoy the company.
Gentle reminders:
– as it’s cool during fall, it is a good time to go hiking
– pomelo is in season and helps to relieve indigestion. Drink rice water to strengthen the spleen.
– have some millet sprout and malt tea to aid digestion after having mooncakes
– hairy crabs are cold in nature and don’t have too much
