Summer diet precautions

1. Eat more bitter foods. Because of the heat, I always like to eat iced sugar water and desserts because they feel so good. But I don't know that it absorbed more heat. In three meals a day, pay attention to eating more bitter foods. Although bitter food does not taste so palatable, it is a healthy food in summer.

2. Pay attention to vitamin supplements. In high-temperature seasons, human body metabolism accelerates and it is easy to be deficient in various vitamins. At this time, you can selectively and quantitatively supplement some vitamins, preferably food supplements. As a "carnivore", go vegetarian in the summer.

3. Don’t forget to supplement salt and potassium. In summer, you sweat more and lose more salt in your body. Therefore, you should pay attention to eating more salty foods to replenish the salt lost in the body and achieve the balance required by the body. Those with a sweet tooth should be especially careful, although the cakes in the freezer are so tempting.
