What should I pay attention to for gastrointestinal health in summer?
1 to avoid over-reliance on the refrigerator.

The main foods that cause acute gastroenteritis are meat, eggs, milk, bean products, fish and shrimp, cakes and so on. Because these pathogenic bacteria that pollute food don't decompose protein, they often don't change their appearance and are easily overlooked. It is recommended to eat and buy this kind of food in summer, and put it in the refrigerator as little as possible. In addition, the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly. Similarly, don't cook too much for each meal. If you can't finish it, it's best to put it in the refrigerator for no more than 24 hours. Be sure to fully heat it before taking it out.

Raw and cooked foods must be handled and stored separately, and the knives and chopping boards of raw and cooked foods should be separated to avoid cross-contamination. Vegetables and fruits must be washed before eating. Many people like to wash a large plate of fruit in the living room at a time so that they can eat it at any time, which also gives mosquitoes and flies an opportunity. You'd better wash it again before eating every time.

Step 2 drink plenty of water

In summer, the climate is hot and sweaty, the secretion of various digestive juices in the human body is relatively reduced, the gastrointestinal digestive function is relatively weakened, and many people will have loss of appetite. In order to increase the secretion of digestive juice, you should drink plenty of water or other drinks. Drink water at least once every morning, between brunch or lunch and dinner, and about 2 hours after dinner. Workers engaged in high-temperature operations, people participating in sports activities and children should pay more attention to supplementing water, which is an important measure to protect the digestive tract.

But remember, don't drink too much In order to quench their thirst, some people often drink a lot of cold drinks quickly, or eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, or wolf down food. This practice is very harmful to the gastrointestinal tract.

3. Eat more fiber and probiotics.

In order to maintain gastrointestinal health, adults should consume about 30 grams of fiber every day, most of which comes from coarse grains in food. However, due to the simple diet and other problems, the average daily intake of ordinary adults is only about 10g. Another important reason why fiber can regulate the stomach is that it can also play the role of a prebiotic: promoting the growth of probiotics.

Probiotics contained in daily fermented dairy products such as yogurt can improve the digestive system. There are hundreds of probiotics in human digestive system. These beneficial bacteria can inhibit the growth of other bacteria, especially harmful bacteria, thus promoting healthy digestion.

4. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and less high-fat food.

Intake of fresh vegetables and fruits can not only make the gastrointestinal tract absorb more water, vitamin C and other nutrients, but also enhance gastrointestinal function and prevent constipation caused by decreased secretion of digestive juice, because vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins. Greasy food should not be digested, so it is better to eat less in summer.
