July lunar and solar energy

Many people understand the seventh lunar month as the “ghost month” with invisible worries. However, if viewed from a natural and health perspective, the seventh lunar month is the transitional period of late summer and early autumn – when the yin energy of heaven and earth begins to increase, while the yang energy – the warm, bright energy source in the body – easily declines, causing an imbalance of yin and yang, known as the time of yin prosperity and yang decline.

The imbalance of yin and yang makes many people feel tired, have cold hands and feet, easily catch colds, have poor appetite, weak immune system, are prone to allergies, have a depressed mood, vague anxiety, poor sleep, and nightmares... This makes many people worry that they are sick.

But, don't worry because we can "light up the sun" from within by eating properly, choosing foods and living habits that help nourish yang energy from every daily meal.

Suggested menu to enhance yang energy for one day

Here is a suggestion for a day of eating according to the principle: warm - bright - cooked - slightly spicy - on time.

Time	Suggested dishes
Morning	Millet porridge cooked with ginger + 1 ripe banana + warm honey water
Mid-morning	Honey ginger tea or lemongrass orange peel water
Lunch	Hot rice + chicken stewed with mugwort + stir-fried vegetables with onion and garlic
Afternoon	Pumpkin soup + turmeric salmon + boiled red beans
Dinner	Barley porridge + garlic stewed mushrooms + cinnamon tea

According to Chef Thanh Huong, eating helps improve health and energy, and can be flexibly changed according to season and taste. But the principles must be kept in mind: warm - bright - cooked - slightly spicy - on time.

- Eat cooked food and drink warm water: Avoid cold raw food (salad, ice, ice cream), especially at night.

- Eat in the light – have someone to eat with: A bright dining space, with sunlight and laughter – helps to improve spirit and positive energy.

- Eat on time - do not skip meals: Skipping meals or eating late causes stagnant blood and energy, making it easy for negative energy to invade the body.

- Drink warm tea after lunch: Ginger tea, tangerine peel, or cinnamon flower tea - helps digestion and blood circulation.

Each meal, if prepared from a bright heart and positive ingredients, will nourish the Body, the Mind, and the home's Qi. The seventh lunar month is coming, people should "light up the sun" for themselves by eating properly, so that the fire in the kitchen can light up the living space. From a bowl of warm porridge, a cup of ginger tea, a pot of stewed chicken... step by step, help the whole family balance energy. Nourishing the body properly will brighten the yang energy and bring peace of mind.

Nourishing your yang energy every day means taking care of your health and that of your loved ones. Thus, the seventh lunar month will not be scary if you know how to live in harmony with nature.
