Drink boiled water several times a day, or drink green tea, mung bean soup or sour plum soup to relieve annoyance and thirst. Drinking more soup in summer can adjust the taste and increase appetite. In hot weather, some people like to drink a large bowl of iced beer or iced beverage in one gulp. This "irritating" cooling behavior will stimulate the spleen and stomach, affect the secretion of gastric juice and reduce appetite, and also cause gastrointestinal diseases such as indigestion, anorexia, abdominal pain and diarrhea. In addition, cold food can temporarily relieve dryness and heat, but after the oral cavity is stimulated by cold, it is easy to cause the salivary gland, tongue taste nerve and periodontal nerve to rapidly cool down, and sometimes even appear paralysis, which will also stimulate the throat and cause adverse reactions such as pharyngitis or toothache.
2, more fruits and vegetables, less greasy food
There are many kinds of vegetables and fruits in summer, which are rich in nutrition. Common bitter gourd, wax gourd, tomato, towel gourd, pumpkin, cucumber, watermelon, etc., all have the function of cooling and dispelling summer heat. Especially some dark fruits and vegetables, such as carrots, mangoes, red and yellow tomatoes, contain a lot of carotene and phytochemicals, which help to enhance immunity and supplement vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. Eating greasy food will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, and it will also increase abdominal distension, not thinking about diet, and increase fatigue.
3, more cooked food, less cold
In summer, people often like to eat fruits, seafood and other foods raw. It is worth noting that the temperature is high in summer, and all kinds of germs and parasites are easy to breed. If you don't pay attention to food hygiene, especially eating unsanitary food at the "three noes" stalls, you are likely to get sick. People take food as the sky, and food is safety first!
In addition to a balanced diet and the above precautions, we should maintain a healthy lifestyle in summer, including getting enough sleep and doing more outdoor sports.
