【＃24節氣－立夏】是日立夏
立夏代表夏天正式來臨，這個時節晝長夜短，天氣雖然漸熱，可是早晚依然比較涼，日夜溫差較大，下雨後氣溫也會下降，所以公司應常備小外套了。溫度會日漸溫暖，雷雨亦逐漸增多。春夏交替，此時肝氣漸弱，心氣漸強，所以此時的飲食原則是增酸減苦，酸性收斂，既可預防流汗過多而耗氣傷陰，同時又能達生津止渴、健胃消食的功效；另外也要進食清淡的食物，有助調養胃氣，以抵禦暑熱的侵襲。立夏要養心，就要靜養，不建議進行太激烈的運動，行山、散步、慢步都是不錯的活動，運動後也要多喝水以即時補充水分。
溫馨提示：
1. 在米水中加入淮山一齊煮，增強健脾功效。
2. 不妨早一點起床，享受一下清晨的安寧。
3. 這個時節宜「輕食」，不宜過飽。
4. 喝一杯有百香果成分的飲料，可開胃醒神。
5. 早餐不宜生冷食物，不妨吃碗台式番薯粥吧！
