3. Eat fruits and  vegetables with cooling properties

The weather is hot during the Grain in Ear period. It is suggested that vegetables and fruits with cooling properties are the best to eat in hot weather. The balsam pear is just a classic representative. Belonging to the melon group of vegetables, the pear contains a lot of natural and nourishing water. It's also said to have healing properties, which are good for patients suffering from either high blood pressure or high blood sugar.

Tomatoes are very nutritious. Being abundant in Vitamin C, tomatoes help clear away heat and toxic.

Other vegetables such as cucumber, eggplant, celery, lettuce, and asparagus all belong to “cooling vegetables.” These vegetables can eliminate the heat inside our bodies, expel toxins and promote digestion.
