Health food in summer: First, strengthening the spleen and benefiting qi, centering the spleen and stomach, is the foundation of the human body. Eating too much cold food in summer is easy to damage the digestive function of the spleen and stomach. You can choose the following two kinds of spleen-strengthening foods to eat. 1 pumpkin: it has the effect of warming the middle and strengthening the spleen. In summer, if you want to choose pumpkins that are not too sweet and noodles, you can choose pumpkins that are light yellow and long gourd-shaped. Don't choose golden yellow and red, because that kind of melon has dense meat and high sweetness, and it is easy to increase water in the body after eating. 2 lotus root: lotus root is eaten raw and has a strong heat-clearing and silt-removing effect. After the lotus root is cooked, its nature is not too cold, but its spleen strengthening function is obviously enhanced. Stewed soup, steamed vegetables and stir-fried dishes are all acceptable. Second, clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. When there are symptoms of heatstroke such as anxiety, chest tightness and dizziness, you may wish to eat the following three foods to clear away heat and relieve summer heat. 1 mung bean: it can clear heat. Cook soup with mung beans alone, preferably without sugar. While clearing away heat and nourishing the stomach, you can cook porridge with mung beans and rice. 2 bitter gourd: it has the effect of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. Clearing fire is stronger than clearing heat, which can clean heat toxin from the body. Some people like to scald bitter gourd with boiling water first, which will weaken its antipyretic effect, so it is best not to scald it. ③ Cucumber: It has the functions of clearing away heat, detoxifying and dehumidifying. The best way to eat is cold cucumber, then mixed with vinegar juice and garlic. Chinese medicine believes that vinegar and garlic are warm foods, which can prevent cucumber from damaging the spleen. Third, water is used to get rid of dampness. There is more rain in summer. At this time, there is moisture in the human body, so water should be used to remove it. 1 wax gourd: it has diuretic effect, and excess water in the body is excreted through diuresis. Only a small amount of salt can be put in wax gourd cooking, because too much salt will offset the water-saving effect of wax gourd. ② Coix seed: It has the effect of strengthening the spleen and promoting diuresis. Raw coix seed has a good dehumidification effect after cooking. For example, some areas in the south have the habit of drinking barley porridge in summer. Stir-fried barley porridge helps to strengthen the spleen. ③ Stigma Maydis: It has the functions of diuresis, detumescence and dehumidification. Take 0/5-30g of dried corn stigma/kloc-(twice the weight of fresh products) and add water to decoct, and remove residues to get juice. You can also put the corn stigma in a teacup, brew it with boiling water for ten minutes, and then drink tea instead. Fourth, thirst quenching, sweating in summer, people often feel thirsty, you can eat some food to quench thirst. ① Watermelon: It has the function of clearing away heat and promoting fluid production. In addition to eating red pulp, blue-white pulp can also be eaten and made into cold salad, which has a stronger heat-clearing effect than red pulp. ② Tomato: From the point of view of promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, it would be better to choose a big tomato with bright red color, sweet and sour taste. However, the cherry tomatoes taste sweet, contain less water, and the effect is much worse. 3 peaches: have the effect of nourishing yin and promoting fluid production. Ordinary peaches contain more water, and peaches are among them. Almonds and nectarines have less water. ④ Grape: It has the effects of promoting fluid production, diuresis and invigorating qi and blood. Fresh grapes have a good effect of promoting fluid production and quenching thirst. Grapes with moderate sweetness and sourness, large size and juicy juice, such as Kyoho Grape, should be selected. Grapes that are too sweet (such as roses) will not quench their thirst if they are eaten more.
