"sour" food

Sweating in summer is the easiest way to lose body fluid, so eat some sour food, such as tomatoes, lemons, strawberries, ebony, grapes, hawthorn, pineapples, mangoes and kiwis. Their sour taste can stop sweating, diarrhea and dampness, prevent excessive sweating, consume gas and hurt yin, promote fluid production and quench thirst, strengthen stomach and promote digestion. If vinegar is added to dishes, acetic acid can also sterilize and prevent gastrointestinal diseases.

"Bitter" food

As the saying goes, hot food is better than tonic. Bitter food contains amino acids, vitamins, alkaloids, glycosides and trace elements. It has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, summer-relieving, refreshing and anti-fatigue functions. Common bitter foods are bitter gourd, dandelion, beer, tea, coffee, chocolate, cocoa and so on. However, it should be noted that bitter food should not be eaten in excess at one time, which may easily cause discomfort such as nausea, vomiting and stomach failure.

Potassium-rich food

Because people sweat a lot in hot days, sweating a lot can take away a lot of potassium, which will cause excessive loss of potassium ions in the body, leading to hypokalemia, which will cause fatigue, dizziness, headache, loss of appetite, listlessness and other symptoms. The most effective way to prevent potassium deficiency in hot weather is to eat more foods containing potassium, such as strawberries, peaches, spinach, potatoes, green onions, celery and edamame. The content of potassium in tea is particularly high, accounting for about 1.5%. Drinking more tea in hot weather can relieve summer heat and supplement potassium, killing two birds with one stone.

Shunqi food

The hot weather in summer often causes people to be physically and mentally exhausted, unable to eat and sleep well. At this time, besides relaxing and stretching, it is particularly important to choose some delicious food. Such as radish, beer, rose, lotus root, fennel, hawthorn, orange and so on.
