"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.

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!
