Sugar should be reduced first in summer.

Many diabetic patients often have skin furuncle and swelling, which is caused by imbalance of glucose metabolism in the body and long-term hyperglycemia. In addition, when sugar is decomposed in the body, it will produce a large number of metabolites such as pyruvate and lactase, which will change the blood from normal weak alkalinity to acidity and form an acidic constitution. People with acidic constitution have low immunity and weak disease resistance, and various pathogenic bacteria may take advantage of it to cause skin diseases such as boils.

Although bitter food has the functions of clearing away heat and purging fire, relieving asthma and purging diarrhea, it will help the heart control lung qi, so it is not recommended to eat more in summer to avoid excessive heart fire.
