According to Chinese medicine, the body is like a tree that lives through the seasons of nature, and it needs regular energy to stay healthy and prevent illness．The four important bodily organs need special energy in each season．We should eat special food and vegetables to protect them．
The liver, which enriches the blood with energy and cleans the bad things in the body, is replenished(补充)in spring time．We’d better eat onions, carrots and some vegetable leaves．
The heart seeks comfort and coolness from the heat in summer．Melons, pumpkin, cucumbers, tomatoes, bitter melon, and many fresh high-water vegetables have a cooling effect and should be eaten．
The lungs often suffer from colds, coughs, and sore throats in the dry fall season．They need to be replenished with foods such as spinach(菠菜), bananas, pears, potatoes．
