We are now in the solar terms chù shǔ 处暑 the Limit of Heat which means the end of the heat (hot summer).

Have you ever heard the old saying "People tend to feel sleepy in spring, doze in summer, and feel tired in autumn"? As the weather cools, many people feel weary. Chinese people often call it the "autumn weariness", which means that your body needs rest. During this time of year, getting some extra sleep is a good idea!

During these days, the temperature can can drop dramatically at night, for the people who have to stay outside till late night, it will be better to bring a jacket with you!

Chinese traditional medicine says that different foods have a cooling (yin/陰) or warming (yang/陽) effect on the body, and that you should change your diet to match changes in the weather. And according to 5 elements theory, autumn is a good time to clear excess heat from our bodies, especially for your spleen and stomach.

The most representative food during this time in Japan is saury, usually they grill it and eat it as a main dish. Except Saury, Duck meat is also said to be a cooling (yin/陰) food, so it’s a great meat to eat during the End of Heat. But just because it’s 'cooling' doesn't mean it has to be eaten cold. It can be roasted duck, cooked with beer or Coke Cola, or turned into duck soup. Traditional Chinese Medicine also says that duck meat is beneficial for our skin, which is another good reason to eat it during the dry autumn days.
And to combine with the seasonal local fruits, Fig is the famous seasonal fruits in Awaji island. Also, under the 5 elements theory the attribute of fig is the Earth, the end of summer. It will be great to making a dish which can combine these to ingredients!

毎年8月23日からは、二十四節気の｢処暑｣です。そろそろ夏の暑さがおさまり、朝晩はしのぎやすくなってくる頃です。処暑の頃は、気温や気圧の変化を感じやすいとき。それによる体の変化やプチ不調を放っておかないようにすることが、体と心をすこやかに保つポイントになります。

夏と秋の境目である処暑は、疲れやすい時期です。

残暑が厳しい日には体の熱を取る食べ物を、少し空気が涼しい日には逆に体を冷やしすぎないよう、エネルギーとなる食べ物を摂取するなど、いつもより少し体を気遣ってみましょう。

これからの時期は、夏の名残と初秋の変化に対応することが必要になります。暑いからと冷房や冷たい食べ物・飲み物で体を冷やし過ぎた方、また、冷やしてはならないと温め過ぎて体に熱がこもってしまった方、さまざまですが、快適な調子を維持するのは難しいですね。

処暑は秋に差しかかっているので、秋に旬を迎える食べ物がおいしくなる頃です。旬の食材によって、胃と脾臓に夏から蓄積していた熱を下げます。
代表的な食べ物は秋刀魚。秋刀魚を焼いて、大根おろしとすだちを添えて食べるのは、日本人でよかった！と思える瞬間ですね。
秋刀魚だけでなく、中国の漢方薬や五行説に基づいて、体内の熱を下げるには、鴨もいい食材と言われています。
淡路島旬の食材のいちじくと鴨を使って、どんな料理が出来ますか。楽しみにしています。

Hello Guys, Since our last updated of solar term, you must be excited about how to eat according to it! We will make a video to show you how to eat in order to make your body to be ready for the coming Autumn!

And today is the Solar term of lì qiū 立秋 — literally "Start of Autumn" — In the past time, people will start to harvest the rice to store it for the winter. Start from today, the temperature and the daytime will decreasing gradually in a month.
So, even though these day will still be hot, but remember not to over-chill yourself.

皆さん、今日は、二十四節気の｢立秋｣です。暦のうえでは秋の始まりを意味し、季節の便りは暑中見舞いから｢残暑見舞い｣に変わります。
実際には８月初旬の真夏っ盛りの時期で、違和感を覚えることが多いかもしれません。「立秋」の頃に涼しい秋風が吹くということはあまりないでしょうし、秋を感じるにはまだ少し早い気がします。
ただ、この頃からは日も少しずつ短くなり、暑さも下り坂になっていくのを多少は実感できるでしょう。
暑い日が続くと、どうしても涼しい環境や冷たい飲食を求めてしまいますが、必要以上の冷えは代謝を下げて、体を疲れさせるモト。立秋の頃は、夏特有の冷えによる不調を感じやすいときです。自然のリズムにおける養生法において、この時季は｢冷え取り｣がポイントになります。

具体的なアクションとしては
-エアコンの設定温度を見直す
-たまには屋外で日光にあたる
-冷房の効いた室内では温かい飲み物をセレクトする
-NOCA 紹介したビデオにしたがって、旬の料理を作る！
どれも簡単なことですが、体の冷えをこまめにリセットするのに有効です。
