What vegetables are suitable for summer health? 1, tomato.

Tomatoes are rich in vitamin A, which is beneficial to vision protection and skin repair after sun exposure.

2. Pepper or pepper.

Pepper is the food with the richest vitamin C content in all vegetables. Vitamin C can improve human immunity and help to resist various diseases.

3. Cucumber

Cucumber contains vitamin C, vitamin B and many trace minerals. Rich in nutrition and crisp and refreshing when eaten raw. From the point of view of nutrition, cucumber skin is rich in nutrition and should be eaten raw. However, in order to prevent the harm of pesticide residues to human body, cucumber should be soaked in salt water 15-20 minutes before being washed and eaten raw. When soaking cucumbers in salt water, don't pinch your head and remove the roots. Keep the cucumber intact and avoid the loss of nutrients in the cut surface during soaking.

4.celery

Celery is rich in crude fiber, potassium, vitamin B2 and vitamin PP (also called nicotinic acid). It is hot every day in summer, and people easily get angry, which leads to dry stool. At the same time, in hot weather, people will lose a lot of water, which is easy to cause the imbalance of sodium and potassium. Celery can help to moisten the intestines and relax the bowels, and adjust the balance of sodium and potassium. Vitamin PP affects people's skin, nervous system and appetite. If people lack vitamin B2, it is easy to cause fatigue and oral ulcers. Celery leaves contain more nutrients than stems, but it is a pity to throw them away. You can blanch them and eat them cold.

5. okra

Slicing okra, adding a little natto and spreading it on udon noodles is a common way to eat in Japan. Adding a little soy sauce and dried bonito will become one of the common snacks.

6.cauliflower

It is generally believed that cauliflower should be scalded before eating, but in Europe and America, it is very common to tear cauliflower into small pieces and directly add mayonnaise to mix well and eat it raw. Not only refreshing, but also giving people a feeling similar to eating carrots and lettuce. People who like salad might as well have a try.
