1. Control cold and spicy food. In summer, you can eat some cold food in moderation to help the body dissipate heat, but don't be greedy for cold. Eat a lot of bitter and cold food a day, especially cold drinks in summer. A cold drink a day is normal, but eating too much is not good. Too cold food will stimulate the stomach, leading to poor gastrointestinal function, resulting in abdominal pain and diarrhea. And cold drinks are high-sugar snacks, and overeating can lead to obesity. So is the spicy food. I suggest you eat liquid food such as mung bean porridge in summer. In summer, the stomach prefers moist and diluted food, and eating more liquid food is a good choice for the spleen and stomach. Mung bean porridge has the functions of cooling, eliminating dampness, relieving summer heat and detoxifying, and can also be eaten as a dessert. However, overheated mung bean porridge is not recommended to be taken immediately. Overheated liquid food not only increases internal heat, but also stimulates esophagus and gastrointestinal mucosa, causing damage. If you take it for a long time, the risk of esophageal cancer will increase greatly, and the loss will outweigh the gain.

2. Lotus plumule can help nourish the heart, and it is easy to feel sad and irritable in summer, and there will be loss of appetite. At this time, you should eat more foods that soothe your nerves and stimulate your appetite. Lotus seeds can be chosen as a diet to soothe the nerves and nourish the heart. Although lotus seeds have bitter taste, they have a good effect of clearing heart. Porridge and japonica rice cooked together, the effect is very good. Lotus seeds are slightly cool, sweet and astringent, and have the functions of nourishing heart, strengthening spleen and tonifying kidney. Lotus plumule often enters the heart and lungs with a hundred strokes, which has the effects of calming the heart, calming the nerves, moistening the lungs and relieving cough. In summer, when the heart is inflamed, there will be clinical manifestations such as tongue sore, oral erosion, upset insomnia and crimson tongue tip. The combination of the two can clear the heart fire and help sleep. It is very effective for summer heat, insomnia and dreaminess, and is very suitable for eating in summer.

3. Red dates can help nourish the heart. Jujube is rich in iron, which is beneficial to the synthesis of red blood cells in the body. Eating red dates regularly is good for invigorating qi and blood. Jujube contains cyclic phosphate gland, which is helpful to dilate blood vessels, enhance myocardial contractility, increase oxygen content in blood, increase oxygen supply to the heart, accelerate metabolism, improve myocardial nutrition, and is very beneficial to maintaining the heart.
