In summer, the body's metabolism is vigorous, and moisture and nutrients are easily lost. Women's blood and qi can be depleted, leading to poor circulation and organ imbalance. Acne and various types of spots are important reasons for women's endocrine imbalance. The following article will educate you on the dietary issues that women should pay attention to in summer.
Avoid Cold Food
In summer, it is advisable to avoid cold food. Many women like to eat popsicles, ice milk, ice mung bean soup, and ice fruit juice in summer. However, such dietary habits can easily harm the "stomach qi".
According to traditional Chinese medicine, when the stomach qi is strong, all the organs are strong, and when the stomach qi is weak, all the organs are weak. Once the diet is too cold, it can cause poor blood circulation in various systems of the body. Over time, this can lead to a decrease in the absorption capacity of the intestines and stomach, making one more susceptible to colds and a weakened immune system. Therefore, avoiding cold food to protect stomach qi is one of the important principles of women's dietary health.
Avoid Spicy Food
Many women believe that eating spicy food in summer can help them lose weight. In fact, eating too much spicy food is not good for the gastrointestinal tract and can easily cause gastric bleeding. It can also make the skin rough and prone to acne, so women should not eat too much spicy food. Spicy food can also cause excessive internal heat and difficulty in bowel movements.
Traditional Chinese medicine advocates eating food that clears heat, promotes diuresis, and detoxifies in summer in order to cleanse the intestines and stomach and facilitate the absorption and digestion of nutrients. In reality, many people know that the accumulation of toxins can cause diseases. Modern medical research has proven that a reasonable diet also has detoxification effects. It has been proven that 80% of toxins in the body are in the intestines, so ensuring the cleanliness of the intestines reduces the harm caused by toxins to the body.
I suggest that everyone should mainly eat light food in their daily diet and consume a certain amount of fruits every day to replenish moisture and nutrients in the body.
