The main function of the spleen is to digest and absorb the various foods and water we take into the body, converting these substances into nutrients that can be used by the human body and providing energy for cell metabolism. Most people will experience a decrease in appetite and digestive function in the hot and humid environment of summer. However, there are also some people whose appetite is not affected. They have a strong sense of hunger, but they feel full immediately after eating. This is a manifestation of a strong stomach and a weak spleen, and is also a sign of spleen dampness.
