People who first come to
Beijing in summer may be unsuitable to the weather there. The following will provide you some useful advice to keep you away from illness in Beijing.
1. Attention to Your Food
Every person needs the protection of oneself his summer recipe. The ingredients are easy to get, and the preparation just as simple. According to Chinese medicine, hot weather may increase your body's inner heat, so you should eat food to counteract this.
The principle of keeping healthy in hot weather is to eat fewer oily foods and more "quality-cool" food. Foods recommended by Doctor Zhao: green bean, lily, white sugar, cucumber, spinach, cabbage, green bean sprouts, celery, carrot, bamboo shoots, hare meat, duck meat, sheep liver, milk, egg and fruit.
2. Drinking Some Tea
Most obvious, tea is an excellent thirst quencher. But any Chinese person knows it also stimulates the appetite and helps digestion. Tea cleans out your insides and has about a dozen medicinal attributes. Many would say that there's nothing like a cup of tea to settle the stomach after a night of excess. And of course, there is the caffeine that's most present in the Oolong tea. There are also more outrageous claims ranging from "facilitate the flow of urine" to "prevent cell mutation and act as an anti-carcinogen." But most people just like tea because it's refreshing.
Various teas have their special attributes. Green tea, the preferred daily drink of Anhui and Nanjing residents, can calm the inner fire in the body. Beijingers prefer to drink flower tea, jasmine tea, which is said to help digestion. The Oolong tea, a favorite in Guangdong and Fujian provinces, is an even stronger help to digestion. And black teas, the favorite of most foreigners, are sometimes said to be cooling.
