Since the purpose of keeping in good health is to prevent the temperature change after the great heat, the method of keeping in good health can't be copied mechanically. In terms of heat preservation, the method we choose is mainly to nourish and regulate the body through the change of diet, which can not only cool down the summer heat, but also help us prevent the cold from entering the body after the summer heat.
And we want to find food that can clear away heat and relieve summer heat and prevent cold from entering the body after summer heat. It's not easy to find, but it's not difficult. Let's see which foods have such effects!
First, radish
Radish has the reputation of "little ginseng", and there is even a proverb that "radish is on the market, but the doctor is fine". Radish is good for our health. It is necessary to know that radish belongs to traditional Chinese medicine blindly, and it is cool and sweet, which is the effect of radish clearing heat and resolving food stagnation. What we need is the heat-clearing effect of radish, which can eliminate excess heat in the body and keep the heat in the body at a constant value. In this way, when the weather turns cold after the summer heat, cold air will not easily enter the body and endanger health.
Second, wax gourd
Through the radish above, I believe everyone knows that the foods we should eat at this time of summer are all cool and cold foods, which can radiate the heat in our bodies and help our bodies maintain the heat at a constant value, so that even if the weather turns cold, it will not have much impact on us.
Wax gourd, like radish, is a cold food. We often eat wax gourd, which can help people diuretic and diminish inflammation, clear away heat and relieve summer heat, eliminate excess heat in the body, keep the body's heat at a constant value, and make the cold not easy to enter the body!
Third, tomatoes
Tomatoes have the functions of promoting fluid production, quenching thirst, clearing heat and disinfection, cooling blood and calming liver, but the purpose of eating tomatoes is not to clear heat, but to cool blood and calm liver with tomatoes. The high temperature in summer will cause the blood in the body to heat up. In this continuous high temperature weather, the blood temperature cannot be lowered. After the summer heat, the weather turns cold, causing cold and heat shocks, which will cause harm to the body.
Eating more tomatoes in summer can keep the blood temperature, make the blood in a normal state, and prevent the health from being damaged by the arrival of cold and the impact of cold and heat inside and outside the body.
Fourth, bitter gourd
Eating bitter gourd can clear fire and strengthen yang. Bitter gourd can remove useless heat from the body and help the body replenish yang. "Yang qi" occupies a very important position in the body, and if a person has enough Yang qi, it is difficult for external cold to invade the body, and there are not many foods like bitter gourd that can clear away heat and strengthen yang.
Five, bananas
Eating bananas in summer is also a good way to keep fit. As we all know, "banana" is a kind of cold food, and the coldness of banana is rooted in the body. When we eat bananas in summer, we can use the summer heat to erase the cold of bananas. Similarly, the cold rooted in bananas in our bodies will also consume more and more "summer heat" in our bodies because of the summer heat. When the heat in these summers is consumed, we can protect our health in summer, without causing internal and external shocks because of the cold weather, which will cause greater hidden dangers to our health. It can be said that eating bananas in summer is a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
