Summer heat, one of the 24 solar terms, is the hottest period in a year. During the summer heat, there are many taboos in diet, especially for the elderly, whose spleen and stomach are not as strong as when they were young, so they should be especially careful in diet. So, how to nourish the spleen and stomach, spirit and body during the hot summer? I recommend "Four Less and Four Appropriate" to you.

Say "four little" first. The following four aspects should be controlled as much as possible. Eating more is not good for your health.

1, control the amount of drinking water. Don't drink more than 300ml at a time, and don't drink too much. Because drinking plenty of water will dilute gastric juice and affect digestive function.

2, less tonic. Because there are too many supplements, the summer heat will not easily subside, or the summer heat that has gradually subsided will come back.

3. Eat less cold fruits and vegetables. If you eat a lot of cold fruits and raw food during the summer heat, it will damage the yang of the spleen and stomach, make the spleen and stomach weak, and seriously lead to diarrhea and abdominal pain.

4. Eat less greasy food. Eating a lot of greasy food will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, so that a large amount of gastric juice will stay in the gastrointestinal tract, and the human body will be easily tired and easily lead to indigestion.

In this case, during the summer heat, is there any food in the diet that is beneficial to digestion and absorption, good for health and summer heat? Ok, now I recommend some nutritious foods that are good for digestion and absorption.

1, loofah. Luffa is characterized by developed fiber, which has the effects of regulating menstruation, eliminating dampness and treating dysentery. Luffa is best to make soup, with less oil and light taste. When cooking, it is not advisable to add soy sauce or bean paste to prevent it from grabbing the taste.

2. tomatoes Tomatoes are sweet and sour, nutritious, sweet and sour in taste, slightly cold in nature, and have the effects of promoting fluid production, quenching thirst, invigorating stomach, promoting digestion and relieving summer heat.

3. broccoli. Broccoli is rich in vitamin C and has anti-cancer effect. At the same time, broccoli is also rich in protein, carbohydrates, fats and minerals, and it is a good nutrient.

4, mung bean sprouts. Mung bean sprouts are low in calories and have the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, diuresis and dehumidification. In the hot summer, cooking a bowl of mung bean soup and drinking a bowl after a nap will make you feel refreshed and feel Shu Tai, which is of great benefit to dispel summer heat and prevent heatstroke.
