立秋(Lìqiū), August 7, 2025 signals the transition toward autumn, when Yang gradually gives way to Yin. This marks the time to protect the Lungs, which are sensitive to seasonal dryness. Slightly warming foods such as pumpkin, yam, and rice congee strengthen digestion, while reducing raw and chilled foods prevents weakening the Spleen. Morning walks in cool air strengthen Lung Qi, while early evenings allow for restoration. Though the harvest season begins, we are reminded to balance activity with nourishment—harvesting energy as much as crops. It starts the season where one prepare to sow and store for the upcoming year.
