"Bitter in Dog Days, Better Than Tonics": Embrace the Three Treasures for a Healthy Midsummer
As the ancient wisdom goes, "Heat peaks during Sanfu days; cold peaks during Sanjiu days." With July 20th marking this year’s entry into the 40-day Sanfu period—the hottest stretch of the year—we brace for sweltering "sauna weather." Outside, the sun scorches mercilessly, while indoors, stifling humidity suffocates without air conditioning. Appetites dwindle, and even the most enticing foods lose their appeal. How do we cope? Our ancestors offered a timeless solution: "Consuming bitter foods during Sanfu outshines taking tonics." This isn’t mere folklore. Bitter ingredients possess innate cooling properties that awaken stagnant digestion and expel oppressive dampness and heat. Here, we present three indispensable culinary treasures to grace your table this Sanfu season—each a powerhouse for thriving through summer’s zenith.

The effects of coffee, or should I say, the lack of coffee.
I love my wife, she’s a wonderful, loving, caring, beautiful lady, who I have been married to for 45 years. She’s my best friend. I trust her implicitly. I’m her best friend, and she trusts me Implicitly as well. I know everything about her, what makes her laugh, what music she loves, what movies she watches. We finish eachother’s sentences. So it sounds like we are good together, right? Well, we are, but I have to walk a straight line between carefree loving and knowing when not to cross that line. Even by mistake. Like making sure I don’t run out of coffee in the can in the kitchen cupboard, let alone a backup can in the pantry. It’s the little things like that, forgetting to give her some morning coffee, which can take her over the edge, and bring out the inner monster. It’s a scary thing to behold, and after seeing it once, I never want to see it again. How can something so hideous and nightmarish be inside my beautiful wife, lurking in there and come out attacking over something so trivial as coffee? But it’s not just my wife, We have a friend that is so sweet and amenial to everyone, even people who are mean to her. But if she doesn’t get her morning cup of coffee, sometimes even two or three cups, with an extra shot of espresso thrown in, the inner monster comes out roaring, and heaven help you if you are in front of her. It can be shocking. That could explain road rage, and mass killings at schools. Coffee is a necessary drink to have to suppress the monster inside. You definitely don’t want to release it into the general population. So maybe I’m kind of exaggerating, but only a little. If they don’t have their morning fix and boost of caffeine, they are discobulated all day, and makes life miserable for everyone around them, and especially their closest friends…ie, their spouse. In the case of my wife, that means me. Oh, and by the way, my wife, who read this story, made me say that it is a fictional story, especially about her inner monster. So disclaimer… this is a fictional story. “ yes dear, sorry dear. Oh, here, I made you a fresh cup of coffee, just like you like it. Enjoy!

"Fortify at the Start, Flourish Through the Heat": Don’t Forget These 4 Yang-Supporting Dishes When the Dog Days Begin on July 20th
July 20th marks the start of "Fu Tian" (Dog Days), the hottest, most humid period of the year. As the old wisdom goes, "The coldest days are in the third nine-day period after the winter solstice, the hottest in the three Fu periods." Our ancestors passed down this essential health advice: "Fortify at the start of Fu, and you won’t suffer through the Dog Days." This "fortification" isn’t about indulging in rich, heavy foods. Instead, it focuses on "Fu Yang" (supporting vital energy)—taking advantage of the season’s peak Yang energy to eat foods that are warming but not overly drying. These foods help stabilize the body’s foundational Qi, making the long, damp, and sweltering days ahead far more manageable. Today, we recommend four delicious, seasonally appropriate "Yang-supporting dishes" that even kitchen novices can master!

Humidity clings to the sweltering air, leaving one feeling drained and lethargic.

Neglecting this makes one vulnerable to creeping fatigue and cold deficiency.
