After the End of Heat, it’s cool in the morning and evening but hot at noon. The temperature difference is large. This kind of climate has created a good condition for the Yang Qi's convergence in the human body. Following are several suggestions for preserving health in the End of Heat period.

First, don’t hurry to put on more clothes. A low body temperature in autumn is helpful for Yang Qi's convergence. But when going outside at night, people should put on more clothes in order to protect Yang Qi.

Second, close doors and windows when sleeping. Put on a thin quilt, especially over the belly to prevent catching cold.

Third, don't use air-conditioning if the temperature indoors is not high. People can open windows to let air flow through.

Fourth, the weather is very changeable till the Autumnal Equinox on September 23rd. Temperature differences before and after rainfall can easily cause colds. People should take preventative measures in advance.

Fifth, it's better not to eat radishes (except carrots) in this period. Middle Qi energy in the human body is not sufficient in this period, while the radish is mainly for descending Qi, so eating radishes can damage middle Qi energy.
