Summer is not suitable for tonic. Eating tonic food in summer is easy to make people uncomfortable, so mutton should not be eaten more, especially for people with high blood pressure. It is best to eat more vegetables, less greasy, and pay attention to eat more foods that can clear away heat and reduce summer heat, such as mung bean porridge, bean porridge, lotus leaf porridge, mint porridge and other "summer medicine porridge".
2. Eat more light food.
Summer diet should nourish the stomach. In summer, the metabolism of the human body is relatively fast, and the function of the spleen and stomach is relatively low. In order to reduce the burden of the spleen and stomach and ensure the health of the spleen and stomach, we should eat more stomach-nourishing foods, such as some soft and light-tasting ingredients, specifically: pasta, steamed buns, millet porridge, oatmeal, spinach, pumpkin, broccoli and so on.
3. Eat more bitter food.
In three meals a day, pay attention to eat more bitter food. The alkaloids contained in delicious food have pharmacological effects such as relieving summer heat, promoting blood circulation and relaxing blood vessels. Eating bitter gourd and bitter vegetables in dog days, or drinking some bitter drinks such as beer, tea, coffee and cocoa, can not only clear people's inner troubles and refresh their minds, but also stimulate appetite, strengthen the spleen and benefit the stomach. Bitter food is not so palatable in taste, but it is healthy food in summer.
4. Pay attention to vitamin supplementation
In high temperature season, human metabolism is accelerated, and it is easy to lack various vitamins. At this time, you can selectively and quantitatively supplement some vitamins, preferably food supplements. You can choose some foods rich in vitamins and calcium, such as watermelon, cucumber, tomato, beans and their products, animal liver and kidney, shrimp skin, etc., and you can also drink some juice.
