You should eat some bitter food all year round, especially in summer, and you should eat more "bitter" to adapt to the climate characteristics. Summer is sultry and there is heavy "moisture".

After entering the summer, the most important factor affecting the human body is the poison of summer heat and dampness, so eating some cool vegetables is conducive to promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, clearing away heat and removing fire, expelling toxin and relaxing bowels. Such as bitter gourd, tomato, eggplant, celery, lettuce, asparagus, watercress, etc. are all cool vegetables, so you may wish to eat them regularly.

Second, sterilized vegetables

Summer is the season of frequent intestinal infectious diseases, so eating more "sterilized" vegetables can play a role in preventing diseases. This kind of vegetables includes garlic, onion, leek, chives, garlic sprouts and so on.

Because all kinds of vitamins contained in fresh vegetables are very soluble in water, they are extremely unstable when they encounter alkaline substances and are easy to be oxidized, so they are easy to cause vitamin loss and destruction during storage and processing. Therefore, the best way to keep the vitamins, minerals, organic acids and other nutrients in fresh vegetables is to drink vegetable juice directly.

Third, melons and vegetables

The water in vegetables is natural, clean, nutritious and bioactive water filtered by multi-layer biofilm, which is irreplaceable by drinking water. Summer is the peak season for melons and vegetables, and their water content is above 90%. The water content of wax gourd ranks first among all dishes, followed by cucumber, golden melon, towel gourd, fingered citron, pumpkin and bitter gourd. In particular, towel gourd contains protein, fat, carbohydrate, crude fiber, calcium, phosphorus, iron, citrulline, riboflavin and other B vitamins and vitamin C, and also contains saponin, a component contained in ginseng, which is suitable for all ages, rich in nutrition and has considerable medicinal value.
