1. The first principle of summer diet is refreshing. Zheng, director of the experimental kindergarten affiliated to Culture University, pointed out that in summer, people will inevitably lose their appetite, even babies are no exception. I suggest that when preparing meals for children, don't forget the principle of "appetizing and looking good", and always prepare some cool and refreshing foods to take care of your baby's appetite, such as cold dishes, mashed vegetables, juice and mashed vegetables, which are all good dishes. In addition, mommy can also show off her good cooking skills and make some refreshing and nutritious snacks to help her children supplement their nutrition. Zheng stressed that watercress is rich in gum, delicious and nutritious, so mommy can often make some cold watercress jelly as a snack for children. Or you can put oranges, apples, mangoes and other fruits in the dish to make a rich fruit dinner, which is very popular with children.
2. The second rule of summer diet: balanced nutrition. Besides taste, we should also give consideration to nutrition. Zheng said that it is a good idea to replace meat with high-protein foods such as tofu, milk, fruits and vegetables. In addition, you can't eat less grain. If the baby tastes bad, mommy can use porridge, cold noodles and so on. It is convenient to eat and rich in nutrition, which can stimulate the baby's appetite. I want to remind you that children's diet is mostly influenced by their parents. It is suggested that mommy should consider the nutritional needs of children as much as possible when cooking, that is, don't just cook food that she dares to eat or that children like to eat.
3. Article 3 of the Summer Diet Law: Cleanliness. In summer, in addition to eating right for the "stomach", we must also take into account balanced hygiene to protect the baby's gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, some cooking rules cannot be sloppy. Zheng said that if food is not well preserved in summer, it is easy to produce gastrointestinal diseases, such as diarrhea. Therefore, when mommy buys food, she should pay attention to freshness and avoid buying hot dogs, sausages and other replicas containing chemicals or additives, so as not to affect the growth of children. Lu Yimin emphasized that fruits and vegetables may contain pesticides, so they should be washed or soaked before cooking to reduce the pesticide content. When stored, it should not be placed at room temperature for too long to avoid deterioration; When cooking, raw food and cooked food should be treated separately; Things put in the refrigerator should master the principle of first in first out, and pay attention to the shelf life; Food should not be thawed repeatedly, so as not to reduce the freshness, affect the taste, lose nutrition or cause changes in chemicals such as pesticides. Cooked food should be eaten within 2 days, and the coolness of refrigerator can be checked once a week (frozen at-18℃ and refrigerated at 7 ~ 8℃).
The climate in summer is hot, germs multiply and grow rapidly, and there are many factors that affect health. So, in order to spend the summer safely, the following six "best" in summer life can help you.
1, the best condiment-vinegar. Summer is cool and hot, sweating a lot, and being jealous can increase the concentration of gastric acid, help digestion and absorption, and promote appetite. Vinegar also has strong antibacterial ability, which can kill Staphylococcus pyogenes in a short time. It can prevent intestinal infectious diseases such as typhoid fever and dysentery. In summer, people are prone to fatigue, drowsiness and discomfort. Being jealous will quickly relieve fatigue and maintain abundant energy.
2, the best vegetable-bitter vegetables. High temperature and humidity in summer often make people listless, tired and weak, chest tightness and dizziness, loss of appetite and emaciation. At this time, it is of great benefit to eat hard food. Chinese medicine believes that the reason why people are unhappy in summer is because the summer heat is wet, which not only hurts kidney qi but also sleepy spleen and stomach. Bitter food can balance the body function through its functions of invigorating qi, strengthening kidney, strengthening spleen and drying dampness. Modern scientific research has also proved that Sophora alopecuroides is rich in alkaloids, amino acids, picroside, vitamins and minerals, and has the functions of relieving summer-heat, relieving fever, relieving restlessness, refreshing and invigorating the stomach. Bitter gourd, bitter vegetable, lettuce, celery, dandelion, lotus seed and lily are all good choices.
3. The best soup-tomato soup. Drinking tomato soup in summer can not only get nutrition, but also replenish water, killing two birds with one stone. Tomato soup (cooked and cooled) contains lycopene, which has certain anti-prostate cancer and heart protection effects, and is most suitable for men to drink.
4, the best meat-duck. Don't think that you can still make up for it by eating only light food in summer. The key is to choose the right supplement. I recommend duck meat to you here. Duck meat is not only rich in nutrients such as protein, which is badly needed by human body in summer, but also can prevent and treat diseases. The secret is that ducks are waterfowl, and their nature is cold. According to the treatment principle of "heat is cold" in traditional Chinese medicine, it is especially suitable for people with low fever, physical weakness, less food, dry stool, edema and other internal heat in summer. Stewed ham and sea cucumber with duck meat, the stewed duck juice is conducive to nourishing the yin of the five internal organs; Duck meat and glutinous rice porridge have the functions of nourishing stomach, enriching blood and promoting fluid production, which is of great benefit to physical weakness after illness; Stewed duck with kelp can soften blood vessels, lower blood pressure and prevent arteriosclerosis, hypertension and heart disease. Stewed ducks and bamboo shoots can cure hemorrhoid bleeding.
5. The best drink-hot tea. In summer, drinks are essential. The first choice is not all kinds of cold drinks, nor beer or coffee, but very ordinary hot tea. Tea is rich in potassium (the average content of potassium per 100g of tea is green tea 10.7mg and black tea 24. 1mg), which can quench thirst and relieve fatigue. According to the experiments of British experts, the cooling capacity of hot tea is much higher than that of cold drinks, and it is the best in summer drinks.
6, the best nutrient-vitamin E vitamin can let you spend the summer safely, and the "best" crown belongs to vitamin E. German scientists emphasize that people will encounter three major dangers in summer, namely strong sunshine, ozone and fatigue, and vitamin E can minimize these three dangers. Malt, bran bread, walnut sauce, dairy products and other foods are rich in vitamin E, which can be arranged in summer. If necessary, you can also take pills of vitamin E, 15-60mg per day is enough.

It is best to eat more melons and vegetables in summer. The water in vegetables is natural, clean, nutritious and bioactive water filtered by multi-layer biofilm, which is incomparable to drinking water produced by any factory. Summer is the peak season for melons and vegetables, and its water content is above 90%. The water content of wax gourd ranks first among all vegetables, up to 96%, followed by cucumber, melon, towel gourd, pumpkin, bitter gourd and watermelon. Eating 500 grams of melons and vegetables is equivalent to drinking 450 ml of high-quality water. Eat more cold vegetables.

The weather is hot, people sweat easily and need water urgently. There are many kinds of drinks on the market now, such as coke, purified water, milk, yogurt, beer and so on. However, according to human medical research, fresh water and cold water are the best ways to quench thirst in midsummer. After boiling, the water naturally cools to about 20 degrees Celsius, in which the chlorine content is reduced by more than half, and the trace elements are almost unchanged. The physical and chemical properties of water are very close to the physiological water in human cells. These characteristics of cold boiled water make it easy to penetrate cell membrane, accelerate lactic acid metabolism and relieve human fatigue. In hot weather, sweating is the main way for human body to regulate body temperature, and a lot of sweating will inevitably require a lot of water. Drinking cold boiled water is most easily absorbed by human tissues, which immediately plays a role in replenishing water. However, most cold drinks can only temporarily cool down after drinking, which makes the gastrointestinal blood vessels contract, which is not conducive to heat dissipation. Especially sugary drinks need to consume water in the body to help metabolism after entering the human body, which makes people feel "more thirsty".
It is necessary to develop good dietary hygiene habits, do not buy expired and spoiled food, and eat and cook now. If there are leftovers, cook them again before eating. Eat more hot food and less cold food. You should put some vinegar in cooking and cold salad. Wash the melons and fruits carefully before eating, and then scald them with boiling water before eating.
