清清爽爽迎立夏
.
5月5日迎來立夏節氣，氣溫走高，雨水增多。進入夏季人體大量排汗，容易造成陽氣不足，所以要養足陽氣。千萬不要因為怕熱怕出汗，就整天悶在空調房裡，要堅持適量運動，促進身體機能循環，既通達陽氣，又促進濕氣排出。但運動量不宜過大，以輕微出汗為好，運動過後記得喝點溫水補充體液。
.
在飲食中適當吃些酸味食物，如：檸檬、鳳梨等，既能斂汗祛濕，又能健胃消食。天氣炎熱容易導致心火旺盛，如果此時再吃燥熱或油膩的食物，就會出現內熱症狀，臉上愛長痘痘，或者出現口腔潰瘍、便秘等現象。因此，食物要清淡、易消化、富含維生素和礦物質，適當多吃一些綠色蔬菜和豆類。今天給大家推薦一道清新爽口的時蔬菜譜——萵筍炒豌豆。這兩種食材都是在初夏開始大量上市，既應時又健康。
.
材料：豌豆300克，萵筍200克，彩椒半個，鹽、醬油、食用油、蔥、薑適量。
作法：
1、萵筍去皮切絲，彩椒切絲。
2、鍋中倒少許油，放入豌豆略煸炒，倒入半碗清水，待豌豆煮熟後盛出。
3、炒鍋倒油，放入薑末、蔥末爆香，倒入萵筍絲、彩椒絲，翻炒至熟。
4、倒入熟豌豆，放少許醬油、鹽，再依個人口味滴幾滴醋，翻炒片刻，出鍋盛盤。

May 5, 2018 is the solar term Lixia (Start of Summer). During this time, temperatures tend to be higher with relatively more rain. As the weather transit from Spring into Summer, our body perspires more and this may lead to deficiency in yang energy, so it is imperative for us to nourish the yang energy. Do not be afraid of the hot weather or perspiration and hide in an air-conditioned room. Instead, insist on moderate exercise to promote circulation and to allow the yang energy to flow while stimulating discharge of dampness from our body. However, strenuous exercise is not encouraged during this time. Rather, we should exercise in moderation so that we break out in light sweat. Remember to replenish our body fluids after exercising by drinking more warm water.

During this time, we can include some sour food in our diet, for instance, lemons and pineapples. These fruits stimulate perspiration, dispel dampness from our body, invigorate our stomach and aid digestion. As the hot weather causes us to be easily irritated, we may develop internal heat symptoms if we over-indulge in heaty and fried food. These internal heat may manifest in the form of pimples break out, mouth ulcers and constipation. Therefore we should maintain a light diet that is rich in vitamins and minerals and eat more easily digestible food. For instance, green leafy vegetables and beans. Today I would like to recommend a refreshing vegetable dish—

Stir fried lettuce with peas. These two ingredients are readily available in the market during summer. It is a seasonal and healthy dish.

Ingredients: 300 grams of peas, 200 grams of lettuce, half a capsicum, some salt, light soy sauce, cooking oil, shallots and moderate amount of ginger.

Preparation method:
1) Remove skin of capsicum and cut both lettuce and capsicum into thin slices.
2) Add some cooking oil to stir-fry the peas lightly. Add in half a bowl of water. Remove the peas once they are cooked.
3) Stir-fry some ginger until they give out fragrance. Add in lettuce and capsicum slices to fry.
4) Pour in the cooked peas from number 2 and fry with light soy sauce, salt and vinegar. These seasonings can be moderated according to personal taste. The dish is now ready to be served.
