Hot Body Type
If you have a hot body type, you are especially prone to shanghuo ?? (upper dryness-heat) in the fall. That’s why you should eat more greens and cool-natured foods even when the weather cools.
Pear added to rice congee topped with honey is a perfect cooling dish. You could also steam or sauté pomelo, orange slices, and/or lily bulb.
Avoid pumpkin and peanuts, both popular foods in the fall. These foods add to inner heat and dampness, and as a result can trigger asthma symptoms.
