After a winter and spring of feeding, the bones of old ducks are stronger and the muscles are fuller. Therefore, there is a saying among the people that "old ducks in the Great Heat are better than tonics." After the beginning of the dog days, if there are elderly people in the family suffering from chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, or lung yin deficiency, you can take a pig lung, rinse it repeatedly to make it clean, steam it in a steamer, and take the juice. One pig lung can be steamed 2 to 3 times and eaten blandly.

Therefore, when the temperature is high, you should drink boiled water, mung bean soup, and tea. Don’t drink iced water. The more you drink, the cooler you will feel.
