In summer, with hot and humid weather, people prefer cold foods and drinks.

However, the principle of nourishing yang requires reducing consumption of cold drinks in summer.This is because in summer, skin pores are open, and more heat is dissipated, depleting internal yang energy.Therefore, it is advisable to control the amount of cold food and drinks in summer, and eating speed should also be moderate.

Men with weak spleen and stomach should especially restrain themselves.Of course, for healthy individuals, eating a little cold food can help clear heat and cool down.

For men who are generally deficient in yang energy, they should take advantage of the abundant natural yang during summer to consume warming and yang-nourishing medicines, achieving better therapeutic effects.People with yin deficiency may have various symptoms depending on which organ is affected, but common signs include cold hands and feet, preference for warmth, pale complexion and tongue, and slow pulse. Such men should avoid eating cold food in summer.
