It\u2019s a traditional custom from northern China. During the hot summer, our bodies work harder, and people often eat less because of the heat, leaving them feeling lighter and maybe even a bit weak. When autumn arrives, people traditionally eat more nourishing foods to \u201cput on a little padding,\u201d which helps restore their energy and get ready for the colder months.<\/p>\n<p>Put simply, \u201cbuilding up for autumn\u201d is a way to boost energy before winter arrives. While this used to mean eating lots of hearty meats, today people focus more on balanced nutrition. You don\u2019t have to eat rich foods; the idea is to eat healthily and in moderation, so your body can adjust to cooler weather and handle winter better.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8808\" src=\"https:\/\/www.confuciusmaastricht.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\u03c3\u00a2\u255b3-1024x769.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"521\" height=\"391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.confuciusmaastricht.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\u03c3\u00a2\u255b3-1024x769.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.confuciusmaastricht.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\u03c3\u00a2\u255b3-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.confuciusmaastricht.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\u03c3\u00a2\u255b3-250x188.png 250w, https:\/\/www.confuciusmaastricht.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\u03c3\u00a2\u255b3-600x450.png 600w, https:\/\/www.confuciusmaastricht.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\u03c3\u00a2\u255b3.png 1364w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 521px) 100vw, 521px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Tips for \u201c\u8d34\u79cb\u8198\u201d<\/h4>\n<p>Although \u8d34\u79cb\u8198 has many benefits, it\u2019s not about eating as much as possible! Here are a few tips to keep a healthy balance while nourishing your body.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Go Easy on High-Fat and Sugary Foods<\/strong>: Traditional \u8d34\u79cb\u8198 \u00a0focused on meat-heavy meals, but today, moderation is key\u2014especially with high-fat or sugary foods, which can overburden the body.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choose Foods Based on Your Body\u2019s Needs<\/strong>: Everyone\u2019s body is a bit different. People with \u201ccooler\u201d body types can try warming ingredients, like lamb and ginger, while people with \u201cwarmer\u201d body types might benefit from milder foods like yam and lotus root.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep Moving<\/strong>: Building up for fall isn\u2019t just about eating; exercise is important too! Gentle exercise helps with digestion and prevents weight gain from extra calories, making your fall routine more balanced.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In short, \u8d34\u79cb\u8198 is about more than just adding \u201cfat\u201d to the body; it\u2019s a process of balanced nourishment to adapt to seasonal changes. By replenishing wisely and focusing on wellness, we can welcome autumn and winter with ease. So, why not indulge in some comforting and nourishing foods this season?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year, November 7 marks Lidong, one of the 24 Chinese solar terms, signifying the arrival of winter, the coldest season of the year.
