What are the advantages and disadvantages of eating watermelon in summer? Eating watermelon is a great pleasure in hot summer. These days, although watermelons are listed in all seasons, it is only in this season that people eat the most heartily. People love to eat watermelon not only to appreciate its delicious taste, but also because it can cool and quench thirst, relieve summer heat and get rid of troubles, which makes people feel comfortable. First of all, 94% of watermelon pulp is water, as well as sugar, vitamins, various amino acids and a small amount of inorganic salts, which can most effectively supplement the water and nutrition needed by the human body in high temperature season; Secondly, the intake of water and inorganic salts can be metabolized into urine, which can also take away excess heat and achieve the effect of clearing away summer heat and benefiting qi. In Compendium of Materia Medica, Li Shizhen described the benefits of eating watermelon in great detail. He said that watermelon is sweet, cold and non-toxic, which not only "relieves annoyance and thirst, relieves summer heat", but also "relaxes the middle-energizer, facilitates diuresis, cures bloody dysentery, detoxifies alcohol and cures aphtha". Watermelon is also called "natural white tiger soup" in medical books. White tiger soup is an effective prescription for treating excessive fever such as high fever and polydipsia in traditional Chinese medicine. It is said that eating watermelon can achieve the effect of this prescription, which shows that doctors attach importance to it. In today's view, symptoms such as fever, thirst, oliguria, hyperhidrosis and irritability caused by heatstroke or other acute fever in summer can be treated by eating watermelon. In addition, the medicinal part of watermelon also has the skin called "watermelon cuiyi" by Chinese medicine. In fact, the function of melon peel in clearing away heat, diuresis and promoting fluid production is far better than that of melon pulp, but only a few people know it. With a little repair, melon peel can become a rare summer dish in summer. The simplest way is to cut off the rough green skin and the residual melon pulp, cut them into strips and mix them with sesame oil, refined salt, sugar and vinegar; It can also be stir-fried with sliced onion, ginger and other things, and it will make people's appetite open after tasting. It should also be elaborated that watermelon is good, but it is always a cold product. If people with weak body, cold stomach and weak stomach are gluttonous, they will easily cause abdominal pain and diarrhea. It is not suitable for eating with greasy things; If watermelon is eaten with warm food or drink, the cold and heat are not compatible, which is easy to make people vomit. After the watermelon is cut, it should be eaten as soon as possible, otherwise its sweet and juicy flesh will easily become an ideal "culture medium" for bacteria; When eating watermelons stored in the refrigerator, be sure to leave them at room temperature for a while before eating, so as not to damage your body.
