In Chinese medicine, the late summer relates to the earth element and serves as a turning point of the hot, active summer season to the cooler, calming energy of autumn. By taking care of our digestion and immunity now, we remain healthier during the colder months.

Late summer is the ideal time to concentrate on the health and healing of the stomach and pancreas. When our digestive organs are healthy and we maintain a balanced intestinal flora, our immunity improves. Strengthen the pancreatic functions and calm down the stomach by taking a spoon of apple cider vinegar for a meal. Maintain balanced blood sugar by eating roasted sweet potatoes or fried spaghetti pumpkin instead of white rice or pasta. Start with more warming foods such as ginger, winter pumpkin, cinnamon, fennel and mustard green to support healthy digestion. May the recipes provide you inspire to pack delicious, healing lunches for yourself and your loved ones.
