I like summer best. I was born in summer, so I must answer this question.

Let’s first talk about what kind of solar term this Xiaoshu is.

Small Heat is the eleventh of the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar and the fifth solar term of summer. The arrival of Minor Heat heralds the climax of summer in the year and the end of the hottest day of the year, the Great Heat. It's not far.

At this time, the average temperature in the south is already around 30 degrees, accompanied by an increase in rain. Most places are also accompanied by strong winds, thunderstorms, and even heavy rain. The weather is already hot, and with the rain, The air becomes very humid, so people will feel tired and weak, and their resistance will easily decrease, making them prone to colds.

So there is a folk proverb that goes: "Small heat and big heat, steam at the top and boil at the bottom."

Therefore, as we enter the Slight Heat Season, we must focus on preventing colds, do a good job in heatstroke prevention and cooling, ventilate frequently, and be prepared to prevent moisture and moisture. At the same time, we must also protect against thunderstorms and other severe weather conditions. weather.

Because the weather is starting to get hotter, we also need to make more preparations in terms of diet to prevent heatstroke and internal heat.

Specifically, we can make adjustments to our diet from the following aspects:

1. We can add some cool foods to the dishes, such as lotus root, because lotus root itself It is a heat-clearing and appetizing food that can nourish and replenish the body. It is a rare good food in summer.

We can wash the lotus root, then cut it into slices, cook it in boiling water, then add salt, monosodium glutamate, vinegar, and a small pepper, mix well and put it in the refrigerator for twelve hours, and then you can Eating it with rice can effectively prevent heatstroke.

2. Bitter melon is also a rare good food in summer. It has very good heat-clearing, detoxifying, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects, so it is best to eat it in summer.

We can cut the bitter melon into two parts, remove the pulp and seeds inside, then slice it into slices and marinate it with salt for half an hour. If you feel the bitter melon is bitter, you can rinse it twice with water. If it is not recommended, you can directly add vinegar, garlic slices, soy sauce, and small chili peppers, mix well and eat. If you put it in the refrigerator and eat it cold, the flavor will be better.

3. In the summer, the weather is hot. If we can have a few pieces of iced watermelon, it can be considered a good way to prevent heatstroke and cool down. However, it is not recommended to eat watermelon that has been chilled for too long, as it is not good for the stomach. Good, but it can also easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

Slight Heat is a relatively hot time of the year, and the hottest time of the year will follow, so preventing heatstroke and cooling down in advance can help us spend this summer better.

Here, I wish everyone a happy and wonderful summer!
