Summer is the yang season and is associated with the heart in Yakuzen.
While your heart is working harder to pomp up blood throughout your body, it exhausts the Qi and Yin fluid in your body. Also, high humidity can induce dampness in your body and this combination could weaken your stomach.

Green beans are ideal for summer as they help replenish Qi, reduce dampness, and support digestive health, making them especially beneficial during humid weather.
