1, avoid overeating and catching cold.
In hot summer, people especially like to eat cold food, but they often ignore the hygiene of cold drinks and cold food, which is easy to cause gastrointestinal diseases. Old people and children should pay special attention to the reasonable collocation of meals, and it is best to be appropriate. Eat some digestible cold food. Eating vegetables raw in summer is the best recipe for many people, but you can't eat more just for the sake of being quick, otherwise it will easily lead to indigestion and gastrointestinal dysfunction (such as bloating and diarrhea).
It's really tempting to eat vegetables raw in hot summer. When cooking, you can soak it in boiling water and eat it cold (such as celery, spinach, white tofu, etc. ). When cooking cold dishes, you can add some seasonings such as vinegar, ginger and salt. Vinegar can detoxify and digest food, and ginger can dispel cold and digest food. Do cold food, avoid lard, tea seed oil, rapeseed oil and sesame oil. Food in summer goes bad easily. Vegetables must be washed clean, and the yellow ones with insect spots should be removed. Pay special attention to food hygiene in summer.
2, avoid being too full
If you can overeat, you can't be full, especially when you eat. The proverb says, "Eat less and live to ninety-nine." Huangdi Neijing? Su Wen pointed out that "the diet should be moderate" and "not excessive". The digestion of old people and children is not strong, especially in summer. If they eat too much and can't digest it, it is easy to damage the spleen and stomach and lead to stomach problems. If you are 80% full, your appetite will continue to increase.
3. Avoid "fruitful"
A large number of seasonal fruits are on the market in midsummer. Coupled with the hot weather and loss of appetite, many people like to eat more fruits to supplement their nutrition. Many women who love beauty firmly believe that "three meals of fruit a day, self-cultivation, beauty and beauty", or simply use fruit instead of diet. However, this practice is not desirable, and special attention should be paid to dietary nutrition supplementation in midsummer.
Although eating fruit can absorb a lot of vitamins and water, we can't ignore the balanced intake of other nutrients. So eat fruit in moderation. The basic nutrients needed by human body are carbohydrates, minerals, protein and amino acids. But eating fruit alone can't meet the needs of these nutrients. If the diet is "fruity" for a long time, it will have adverse effects on the endocrine system, digestive system and immune system of the human body, and it will also cause nutritional imbalance.
Before eating fruit, the most important thing is disinfection and cleaning. However, some pesticides or bacteria often remain in the epidermis of grapes, strawberries, bayberry and so on. If you don't clean or eat poisonous fruit by mistake, you will have symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, and even severe cases will be accompanied by symptoms such as salivation and diarrhea. When eating fruit, cleanliness is very important. It is best to soak in water for one hour (it is not advisable to wash the fruit with detergent or disinfectant).
Physical exertion is particularly high in summer. For some special groups, we should pay more attention when eating fruits. Pregnant women should avoid eating "cold fruits" (such as frozen watermelons) when choosing fruits, otherwise it will stimulate the stomach, lead to diarrhea and easily lead to premature delivery. There is a folk saying that "one litchi has three fires". Litchi is a warm food, and it is easy to get angry when eaten too much, which will lead to constipation, toothache, facial scabies, oral ulcers and other diseases. Therefore, when choosing fruits, you should eat them according to your own situation.
Eat more food in the long summer.
1, eat more melons
The summer temperature is high, and the human body loses a lot of water, so it must be replenished in time. The water in vegetables is natural, clean, nutritious and bioactive water filtered by multi-layer biofilm. The water content of melons and vegetables is above 90%. All melons and vegetables have the function of lowering blood pressure and protecting blood vessels.
2, eat more cool vegetables:
Eating some cool vegetables is conducive to promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, relieving summer heat, clearing away heat and purging fire, expelling toxin and relaxing bowels. Cucumber vegetables, except pumpkin, are warm, and others, such as bitter gourd, towel gourd, cucumber, melon, watermelon and wax gourd, are cool. Tomatoes, celery and lettuce are all cold vegetables.
3. Eat more "sterilized" vegetables:
Summer is a season of frequent human diseases, especially intestinal infectious diseases. Eating more "sterilized" vegetables can prevent diseases. This kind of vegetables include: garlic, onion, leek, green onion and so on. These onion and garlic vegetables are rich in broad-spectrum fungicides, which can kill and inhibit various cocci, bacilli, fungi and viruses. Among them, the most prominent role is garlic, which is best eaten raw.
4, should be light
In summer, the appetite decreases and the function of spleen and stomach is relatively dull. At this time, eating light products will help stimulate appetite, increase food intake, strengthen the spleen and help transport. Eating too much fat will cause stomach qi stagnation, damage the spleen, affect the digestion and absorption of nutrients, and be harmful to the body. Therefore, we should pay attention to the selection of mung beans, white lentils, watermelons, lychees, lotus seeds, silkworm excrement, buckwheat, jujube, pork tripe, pork, beef, tripe, chicken, pigeon meat, quail meat, crucian carp, turtle, bee milk, honey, duck meat, milk, goose meat, tofu pulp, sugar cane, pear and so on.
5. Eat food that is good for water and moisture.
Because summer is hot, the temperature is high and the humidity is high, it also invades the human body. Because the weather is hot, people like cold drinks, drink plenty of water, and get wet outside, which makes the water wet and strengthen the spleen, the spleen and stomach rise and fall, and the transport function is blocked, so water will accumulate. Eating moist and dry food can strengthen the spleen, which can restore the function of ascending, descending and transporting, so it can remove dampness.
Step 6 eat bitter food
Such as bitter gourd. Summer is very hot, hot and humid. Eating bitter food can clear away heat and relieve summer heat, dry dampness and strengthen spleen, and increase appetite. Sour food can be astringent, and sweating in summer is easy to hurt yin. Eating acid can stop sweating and diarrhea. For example, tomatoes have the functions of promoting fluid production, quenching thirst, invigorating stomach and promoting digestion, cooling blood and calming liver, clearing away heat and toxic materials, and lowering blood pressure.
