Can I drink ginger soup during the dog days of summer?

It is suitable to drink ginger soup during the dog days of summer.
First of all, the gingerol in ginger has a certain stimulating effect on the heart and blood vessels, which can speed up blood circulation, open the pores, increase sweating, and take away the excess heat in the body with sweat, which has a certain effect in preventing heatstroke. Secondly, ginger prevents and treats gastroenteritis. Bacteria grow actively in summer, which can easily contaminate food and cause acute gastroenteritis. Eating some raw ginger or drinking it after brewing boiling water with dried ginger can help prevent and treat gastroenteritis. Again, ginger can dispel wind and cold. Using air conditioning frequently in summer can easily lead to colds and flu. Drinking some ginger and sugar water can help expel the cold from the body. It is not suitable for colds caused by summer heat and wind-heat. Finally, ginger can strengthen the spleen and stomach. Eating cold food often in summer will cause excessive coldness in the spleen and stomach, resulting in symptoms such as palpitations and nausea. Eating ginger can help warm the spleen and stomach to prevent severe symptoms.
Therefore, drinking ginger soup during the dog days of summer is very effective.

What should you pay attention to when eating ginger during the dog days of summer?

When eating ginger in summer, it is better to choose fresh ginger, cut five or six slices with the skin, then cut it into shreds, put it into boiling water or soup, and drink it after a few minutes. If you find ginger water (soup) difficult to swallow, you can add some brown sugar for flavoring. It will be more effective for people with cold stomach. You can also make ginger into tea and drink it frequently and moderately.
Although eating ginger in summer has good effects on the body, it is not suitable for some people. Since ginger is slightly warm in nature, eating too much can damage yin and strengthen yang, so if you have yin deficiency and excess fire, you must eat it with caution.
