Summer diet should be light?

At this time, the diet should be light, which will help stimulate appetite and increase food intake. Generally, the total calorie of the tonic diet is slightly lower, and the nutrients are high and low (protein content is slightly higher, cellulose content is higher, and fat and sugar content is slightly lower), so light food and vegetarian food are the main ones. The staple food should be rice and soft food (also called semi-liquid diet, such as porridge, noodles, steamed bread, cakes, bread, wonton, jiaozi, cold noodles, steamed dumplings, etc. ) is made of japonica rice and wheat flour, as well as various soups, soups and pastes.

Eat more foods that can dispel summer heat, promote diuresis, clear away heat and detoxify?

Heat-clearing food should be eaten in midsummer, and dampness-promoting food should be eaten in long summer, because Chinese medicine believes that long summer is humid. So, what foods have the above effects? ?

Watermelon: In hot summer, eating a few watermelons can not only clear away heat and detoxify, relieve boredom and quench thirst, but also promote diuresis and digestion.

Although watermelon has many benefits, we should also pay attention to the way we eat it. If you don't eat too much, because you eat too much at one time, a lot of water will dilute gastric juice, reduce gastric acid and cause indigestion. Some people like to eat chilled watermelons, but they can't eat watermelons that have been chilled for too long, because the salivary glands, tongue taste nerves and periodontal nerves in the mouth will be almost paralyzed by cold stimulation, and it is difficult to taste the real taste of watermelons. But more importantly, it hurts the spleen and stomach and causes various diseases. Generally speaking, watermelon should not be kept in the refrigerator for more than 3 hours, so that it will not hurt the spleen and stomach, but also taste the real taste of watermelon.

Cucumber: "Materia Medica Seeking Truth" says that cucumber is "sweet in taste, cold in nature, and can clear away heat and benefit water", so it is good to eat more cucumbers in hot summer. The water content of cucumber is 96% ~ 98%, which is the highest among vegetables.

What's more gratifying is that fresh cucumber also contains propanedioic acid, which can inhibit the conversion of sugar into fat. Eating more cucumbers can reduce weight and is good for fat people. It can be eaten raw, cold, fried or pickled. But raw cucumbers should pay special attention to hygiene, and it is better to scald them with boiling water after washing.

Ducks live in water all the year round, are cold in nature, and have the effects of nourishing yin and stomach, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. After a winter and a spring, human bones are strong and muscles are full. In summer, the human body is attacked by summer evil, eating less and sleeping less, and gradually getting thinner. If you want to make up, you can't be fat, so ducks become an ideal food for summer tonic. Ducks can nourish the yin of the five internal organs, clear away deficiency and heat, and harmonize the viscera. Eating old duck in summer can not only supplement nutrition, but also dispel summer heat, which is more suitable for people with internal heat, excessive internal heat, physical weakness, anorexia and dry stool.

Take a three-year-old duck, add a little gastrodia elata or cordyceps sinensis, steam it or cook it in soup to cure the disease and strengthen the body, which is incomparable to other tonics in hot summer. ?

Be careful not to damage the qi of spleen and lung?

It is said in "A Thousand Daughters' Prescription": "On the seventy-second day of summer, you can save labor and increase labor to nourish your lungs. "It means that although the weather is hot in summer, people can't eat too much bitter food, but they must eat more spicy food, so as to avoid excessive anger (Chinese medicine believes that bitterness enters the heart) and help to replenish lung qi (heart belongs to fire, lung belongs to gold, fire can win gold, heart fire is not strong, and lung qi is peaceful). In addition, you must eat less hot food in summer, such as mutton and dog meat. The hot stimulation in summer makes the nerve center in a state of tension, and the activity level of endocrine glands also changes, which leads to the decline of digestive ability, loss of appetite and desire to eat. So it's best to eat something light, less oily and digestible in summer. If you eat fatty food, it is easy to reduce gastric juice secretion and slow down gastric emptying.

Should we control cold food and cold drinks in summer?

With the improvement of people's living standards, drinks have entered thousands of households, especially in hot summer, colorful drinks have almost become people's favorite. Generally speaking, the hot summer climate often leads to diarrhea, sweating a lot, and people always feel thirsty. Therefore, drinking cold drinks can help the body dissipate heat, supplement water, salt and vitamins in the body, and play the role of promoting fluid production to quench thirst, clearing heat and relieving summer heat. However, Chinese medicine believes that in summer, the body's yang is outside and yin is inside, so the secretion of gastric juice is relatively reduced and the digestive function is low. Therefore, avoid cold drinks because of gluttony. If excessive, it will cause diseases, make people feel abdominal distension and discomfort, and lead to abdominal pain and diarrhea. Therefore, the folk proverb says: "Although the weather is hot, don't be greedy for cold;" Although melons and fruits are beautiful, you can't eat more. "This is a summary of people's long-term life experience. ?

In addition, don't drink too many cold drinks when sweating, because drinking too many cold drinks can not only supplement and adjust the loss of salt and water in the body as soon as possible, but also dilute the gastric juice and reduce its bactericidal power, so that pathogenic microorganisms can pass through the gastrointestinal tract, causing gastritis, enteritis, dysentery and other diseases. Especially for some patients with chronic diseases, eating cold drinks should be selective and temperate. For example, patients with coronary heart disease, asthma and chronic bronchitis should not eat more frozen food, so as not to aggravate their illness or induce the recurrence of old diseases; For diseases such as gastric ulcer and hyperacidity, sour cold drinks should not be used; Diabetic patients should add little or no sugar to their homemade cold drinks, otherwise they will feel sweet and greasy in their mouths or upset in their stomachs. ?

It should also be noted that drinking drinks cannot replace drinking water. Because most drinks contain a certain amount of sugar, the higher the sugar in the drink, the higher the osmotic pressure, and the less easily it is absorbed by cells, but it will take away the water in the cells and easily cause water loss in the body. In addition, cold drinks are often difficult to achieve the purpose of quenching thirst, leading to frequent binge drinking, which is a strong cold stimulus to the digestive tract, causing abnormal peristalsis and dysfunction of the digestive tract, leading to abdominal pain and diarrhea. ?

Is it better to relieve summer heat or drink tea?

Pay attention to food hygiene?
