Recently, continuous high temperature weather has occurred in most areas. High temperature can easily cause various discomforts of human body, such as not wanting to eat, rising body temperature, and rapid heartbeat, which are the stress responses of human metabolism and physiological conditions to high temperature environment. In order to cope with the high temperature, while doing a good job of heatstroke prevention and cooling, it is necessary to arrange dietary nutrition reasonably, which is the material guarantee of health.

People's diet is very important in midsummer, because when people work in a hot environment, the body temperature regulation, water and salt metabolism, circulation, digestion, nervous system, endocrine system and urinary system change obviously, which will lead to an increase in nutrient consumption and a large amount of water and nutrients will be lost due to sweating. In summer, people's loss of appetite will also limit the absorption of nutrients.

How can we spend the summer heat healthily?

1. Eat milk, eggs and beans every day.

At high temperature, the human body will lose a lot of protein when sweating, and the decomposition of protein in the body will also increase. Especially when the weather is sultry, people often lose their appetite and don't like cooking, so it's easy to have insufficient intake of protein. Snacks, drinks and cold drinks can't provide enough protein. We should also eat fresh and cooked lean meat and fish, such as steamed fish and beef sauce, and supplement protein and trace elements such as iron and zinc.

2. Vegetables, fruits and miscellaneous grains: supply vitamins.

In summer, more vitamin C and vitamin B 1 and B2 are lost from sweat every day. Lack of these vitamins will make people tired, reduce their resistance and reduce their work efficiency. According to the measurement, the demand for water-soluble vitamins in hot weather is more than twice as much as usual. Add enough vitamins and minerals, and you can still be full of energy in summer!

3. Drink more porridge soup and supplement electrolytes.

Ordinary sweet drinks only contain sugar and water, but they cannot provide electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, and do not contain vitamins. Therefore, we should not only quench our thirst with sweet drinks, but also eat as many fruits and vegetables as possible. Nutritious porridge soup and summer drinks, especially bean soup and bean porridge, should also be prepared at home, which is most helpful for supplementing minerals such as potassium and magnesium. Green tea, flower and fruit tea and sour plum soup are also better choices.

4. Attract appetite and eat more.

In high temperature environment, the secretion of digestive enzymes decreases and the digestive function decreases. Therefore, food in summer should be light and refreshing, and the appearance and pattern of food should attract appetite. The principle of seasoning is less oil and more vinegar; In terms of the number of meals, it is advisable to eat less, and when the weather is cool, it is appropriate to add meals.
