Eating more fresh vegetables and fruits can not only meet the required nutrition, but also prevent heatstroke. Staple food should be light, such as mung bean porridge, lotus seed porridge and lotus leaf porridge. You can also drink some cool drinks, such as sour plum soup and chrysanthemum tea. However, cold drinks should be moderate, and you should not be partial to cold products, otherwise it will hurt the yang and damage your health.
In addition, eating vinegar can not only stimulate appetite, but also inhibit the killing of germs and prevent gastrointestinal diseases. But being light doesn't mean being a vegetarian, because vegetarian dishes contain a lot of dietary fiber and rich vitamins, but they lack the necessary protein. Long-term vegetarianism can easily lead to nutritional imbalance. So, even in hot summer, don't refuse meat dishes. You can eat some lean meat, eggs, milk, fish and bean products appropriately. The key is to use steaming, cold salad and other methods when cooking, not too greasy.
Eat cold food in moderation. In summer, we will feel thirsty after exercise, but at this time, we should not eat cold meals or cold drinks too much or too quickly to prevent the intestinal blood vessels from contracting rapidly, causing digestive dysfunction and abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhea.
Eat more bitter: Chinese medicine believes that most bitter vegetables have the effect of clearing away heat. Therefore, bitter food such as bitter vegetables and bitter gourd can play a role in relieving summer heat and fatigue. You sweat a lot in summer, so you might as well drink something bitter. Beer, green tea and kudingcha are all good choices.
