(1) ginger

Because ginger is warm, eating some in Xia Hou can promote the growth of yang in the body, which accords with the view of "nourishing yang in spring and summer" advocated by Chinese medicine. Therefore, when cooking daily, you might as well add some shredded ginger to stir fry together, and eat it with shredded ginger when eating.

(2) Bitter gourd

After the long summer, you can eat bitter gourd properly, especially those with bad appetite. Eating some properly can help the body eliminate stomach fire. And eating bitter gourd also has the effect of improving eyesight and strengthening spleen. Therefore, we should eat some in our daily life, such as bitter gourd stew and sparerib soup.

2. What diseases should Xia Hou prevent?

(1) bacillary dysentery

This is a very common intestinal infectious disease, mostly in hot summer, because the hot environment is especially suitable for the reproduction and growth of Shigella dysenteriae. At the same time, the appearance of this disease is also related to how much food you eat in hot weather.

Preventive measures:

Do a good job in personal hygiene, whether it is physical cleanliness or food hygiene, we must pay attention to it. Avoid eating cold vegetables, wash fruits and vegetables carefully before eating, throw away rotten food, and wash your hands carefully before and after meals.

(2), spleen and stomach damage

After entering summer, the appetite will become very poor. This is because the digestive function is affected by the weather, and there are too many cold foods or drinks, which is very irritating to the stomach. When the stomach is stimulated by intense low temperature, there will be sudden contraction of blood vessels, resulting in a decrease in blood flow, which will affect the secretion of digestive juice in the gastrointestinal tract and eventually lead to physiological dysfunction.

Eat less cold food, such as frozen fruit, and don't eat it right away. If you want to eat them, take them out of the refrigerator for half an hour and wait until most of the cold dissipates before eating them. Don't drink iced milk tea, iced coke and other iced drinks. If you want to drink, please choose room temperature, remember not to drink too much.

(3), pinkeye

In early summer, many people will get pink eye. If your eyes are infected, you will get sick within a day. For example, there will be severe pain in both eyes, foreign body sensation, photophobia, tears and so on. Please remember that this disease is contagious, so after you get sick, all the things you wash and wipe can't be used with others, but only for yourself. Don't go to public places at this time, such as public baths and hot springs.

If you want to prevent pinkeye, please pay attention to personal hygiene and eye cleaning in this hot and humid early summer. Go out less in daily life, especially in crowded places, which will help you avoid contact with the source of infection.

(4), aphtha

The long summer has just passed, and now it is early summer. At this time, the climate is relatively dry and it is easy to get angry. If you are angry, it will easily lead to some aphtha. Of course, this situation may also be related to the lack of vitamin B2 in the body.

People are advised to drink plenty of boiled water to avoid dry skin. At the same time, we should avoid eating spicy and stimulating food, so as not to encourage and lead to excessive internal heat. People who are angry should drink more tea to reduce their anger, such as chrysanthemum tea. Eat more dishes that reduce internal heat, such as bitter gourd.
