Because I am a Chinese medicine major, I will introduce to you what is suitable for eating in summer solstice and what is the healthiest to eat from the perspective of Chinese medicine!
bitter gourd
Bitter gourd, dispel summer heat and clear away heat, improve eyesight and detoxify.
In hot summer, it is best to eat bitter gourd to cool off the heat. Don't think bitter gourd won't eat. The bitter bitter bitter gourd, the better the effect of clearing away heat and reducing fire. In order not to taste too bitter, you can soak bitter gourd in salt water first, which can remove some bitterness.
watermelon
Watermelon, clearing away heat and diuresis, relieving summer heat and promoting fluid production.
On the solstice of summer, the weather is hot and heatstroke occurs from time to time, but everything in the world has its time and reason for existence. No, here comes the watermelon. In summer, an iced watermelon will be particularly cold under air conditioning, but it should be noted that watermelon is a cold food. Don't eat too much, or it will cause diarrhea. I just ate too much before, but now I dare not eat. I think this should be a big loss for me this summer!
lotus seed
Lotus seeds, spleen and diarrhea, kidney and essence, nourishing the heart and calming the nerves.
In summer, heat makes people fidgety, sad, bloody and uneasy. Although lotus seeds are bitter, they can clear the heart, and rock sugar tremella lotus seed soup is a good product for nourishing the heart and calming the nerves.
banknote
Lettuce, diuresis, lactation, heat and detoxification.
Lettuce, as we usually say, contains a lot of plant cellulose, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and effectively solve the problem of constipation in summer. In addition, lettuce mixed with houttuynia cordata can also clear away heat and toxic materials, promote diuresis and eliminate phlegm. In fact, cold lettuce is also delicious. I often eat this. It is easy to make. Just cook the lettuce, add a little soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil. There is no need to add salt to this, because soy sauce itself is salty. If you like spicy food, you can also add some Chili oil!
pea
Pea, regulating qi, promoting lactation and diuresis, detoxification.
Pea is rich in various nutrients needed by human body, especially a large amount of high-quality protein, which can improve human body's disease resistance and rehabilitation ability. At the same time, the hot and dry weather in summer hurts people's body fluids and easily leads to constipation, while the crude fiber rich in peas can promote intestinal peristalsis and play a role in dredging the intestines. When eating, peas can be fried with corn kernels, diced carrots and diced wild vegetables, which not only satisfies the vision, but also satisfies the taste!
strawberry
Strawberry, cool and thirst-quenching, invigorating stomach and digestion.
Summer is the season of rich strawberries, and strawberries live up to expectations. Strawberries are cool, which can relieve summer heat and quench thirst! Strawberries also contain vitamin C, which can maintain the normal functions of teeth, blood vessels and muscles, and also have the effect of detoxification; But also contains pectin and vitamins, which can improve constipation. Solar terms like summer solstice are very suitable for eating strawberries. I suspect it was born for the summer solstice. ! !
Not only the above food, but also pumpkin, cauliflower and Flammulina velutipes. These foods are suitable for eating in the hot season from summer to Sunday, but it should also be noted that although it is in summer, people with yang deficiency should eat less cold foods, such as watermelon and ice cream. Therefore, not every food is suitable for everyone. We still have to decide what to choose among these popular foods according to our physical condition!
Also, through the introduction of the above food, we can really find that bitter medicine is beneficial to diseases. Bitter gourd is really bitter, but it can really cure diseases. Quietly, in Chinese medicine, the five flavors corresponding to summer are bitter. Ha ha ha, summer, try to eat more bitterness! /f 9 1986 18367 adab 4 ab 9835d 799 d4b 3 1c 860 1e4de？ x-BCE-process = image % 2f resize % 2Cm _ lfit % 2Cw _ 600% 2Ch _ 800% 2c limit _ 1% 2f quality % 2Cq _ 85% 2f format % 2Cf _ auto
