The 24 solar terms, consisting of 12 major solar terms and 12 minor solar terms, were created thousands of years ago by the ancient Chinese to guide agricultural production.
Today, the culture behind the terms provides useful guidance to people's lives as each term features special food, cultural ceremonies and healthy living tips.
Grain in Ear, or "Mangzhong," the 9th solar term, falls on June 5 this year. It marks a time when farmers harvest the summer grains and plant crops for the autumn.
No pains, no gains. Just as the causality of farming and harvesting, working out with diligence and consistency will lead you to a healthy situation physically and mentally. Each drop of sweat during the exercise will witness your improvement, becoming stronger, more confident -- and being the best version of yourself!
