Summer is the time to eat foods that promote water metabolism and dampness elimination. In the hot summer, the damp and hot pathogenic factors easily invade the body. People often enjoy cold drinks and consume a lot of water, which leads to the invasion of external dampness and the stagnation of water in the spleen. The spleen is responsible for the transformation and transportation of food, and when its function is impaired, water retention becomes a problem. Eating foods that promote water metabolism and dampness elimination can help strengthen the spleen. Below, I will introduce several medicated diets that are most suitable for summer health.
