In the summer solstice season, you need to drink "soup". This soup cannot be Sprite, Coke, etc., but real soup. Why should we drink more soup in summer?

The first thing most people think of is to replenish the water lost due to heat dissipation. This is of course a more important reason. But there are other important reasons:

1. Compared with winter, which is the best time to take supplements, summer nutrition is relatively difficult to absorb. Coupled with the hot weather, many people do not want to eat and suffer from indigestion and abdominal distension. Moreover, the hot season is also the season with high incidence of gastrointestinal diseases.

2. Replenishing water is not as good as replenishing soup

Sweating a lot will cause serious water loss, but electrolyte loss is equally serious. Drinking soup can not only replenish water, but also replenish electrolytes. Add a little more salt to satisfy the taste and body needs. What nutrients are easiest to absorb? That's right, the nutrients dissolved in the soup are the easiest to absorb.

What soup is the best?

From a nutritional and nutritional perspective, the first recommendation is winter melon soup

Winter melon is cold in nature, can clear stomach fire, nourish the stomach and promote fluid production, and is especially suitable for consumption in hot seasons. Winter melon not only quenches thirst, relieves heat, and is a diuretic, it is also rich in trace elements and minerals needed by the human body. It can quickly replenish the loss of electrolytes, and the effect is great! Winter melon soup can be added with sea rice, kelp and other ingredients to make the nutritional mix more reasonable. Of course, it can also be made into winter melon and pork ribs soup.

The second recommendation is the mung bean soup that everyone likes to cook very much

Mung beans are slightly cold in nature and can clear away heat, detoxify, quench thirst and relieve summer heat. It is a traditional Chinese summer drink to relieve summer heat. Some people like to add sugar when cooking mung bean soup, but I strongly advise against this. Avoid eating too much sugar in summer, which may cause a series of physical diseases, such as prickly heat, high blood sugar, and other diseases. When eating during the dog days of summer, be sure to eat less sugar.

The third item, Tremella Soup

Tremella is mild in nature and sweet in taste, and has the effects of nourishing, promoting body fluids, moistening the lungs and nourishing the stomach. Drinking Tremella Lily Decoction regularly can regulate the lungs, spleen and kidneys. Tremella fuciformis is rich in Tremella fuciformis polysaccharide, which is good for improving immunity and so on.

The three summer solstice soups recommended to everyone are all of great health value and can be made by yourself without taking much time and energy. They can be eaten with staple food in summer. If you live a more refined life, you can add appropriate amounts of some medicinal and edible ingredients to these soups:

Summer focuses on the heart, nourishing the heart and calming the mind is one of the key points of health care in summer, so in Tremella fungus Add a little lotus seeds to the soup, which has the effects of nourishing the heart and calming the nerves, tonifying the spleen and clearing the heart fire. Dampness is very toxic in summer, and removing dampness is one of the key points of summer health care. Gorgon fruit and barley are not only good at removing dampness and detoxification, but they can also diuretic, clear away heat, and remove fire. Therefore, when cooking mung bean soup, you can also add an appropriate amount of barley, red beans and other ingredients. You can also add some yam and other ingredients to the winter melon soup.

It is easy to get angry due to the hot weather in summer. You can add a little lily, pear and other ingredients to the white fungus soup, which can help clear the heart, moisten the lungs, and relieve constipation.
