From today, we will enter the most humid and sultry period in the dog days-dog days. I felt very hot when I first entered summer, but I didn't expect it to be dog days and the temperature would be higher. Dog days are the closest day to the heat. Although the weather forecast predicts a little light rain every day, when it rains, the air is also wet and hot, which makes people sweat.
In this weather, we will sweat more, lose nutrients in our bodies and consume energy quickly. Therefore, in dog days, we also need to pay attention to fully replenish our body energy, especially in diet. We should eat according to the season, eat more healthy things and eat less cold and spicy things to help us get through the dog days smoothly.
