As the saying goes, happiness comes from "bitterness", and alkaloids contained in bitter food have pharmacological effects such as relieving summer heat, promoting blood circulation and relaxing blood vessels. Eating some bitter food properly in hot weather can not only clear the heart, relieve annoyance, refresh the mind, but also stimulate appetite, strengthen the spleen and benefit the stomach. Bitter foods such as bitter gourd, bitter vegetable, tea and coffee can also be selected as appropriate.

In summer, people sweat a lot and lose more sodium chloride, so we should pay attention to supplement salt while supplementing water.

Nutritionists also suggest that it is best to supplement 2 mg of vitamin B1, 2 mg of vitamin B2 and 1 g of calcium every day in high temperature season, which can reduce the consumption of sugar and tissue protein in the body and is beneficial to human health. Therefore, you should eat more foods rich in the above nutrients in summer, such as watermelon, cucumber, tomato, beans and their products, animal liver, shrimp skin, etc., and you can also drink some fruit juice.
