Diet has always been a popular topic, especially in summer. Below, I will summarize a few points to pay attention to for those who have poor appetite and cannot keep up with nutrition in summer.
Proper Combination
Proper combination of food can make it more nutritious and healthy. Therefore, it is important to have a balanced combination of coarse and fine grains, as well as meat and vegetables.
Eat Light
In summer, the hot weather causes people to sweat, leading to dehydration. People tend to drink a lot of water to compensate for this. However, excessive water intake is not healthy. Drinking too much water neutralizes stomach acid, reduces digestive juices, disrupts the balance of the digestive system, and ultimately leads to loss of appetite. Consuming greasy food in such a situation can affect the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Therefore, it is advisable to have a light diet in summer.
Consume More Congee
Congee has always been considered the best choice for nourishing the stomach. Various types of health porridge in the hot summer not only nourish the stomach but also help relieve heat. Therefore, drinking porridge in summer is both delicious and healthy.
Eat Regularly
In summer, with the rise in temperature, people's appetite tends to decrease. Many people become lazy to eat, either because they are not hungry, not in the mood, or don't want to eat hot food. However, this can easily lead to damage to the spleen and stomach. Therefore, it is important to have regular and timely meals in summer.
Avoid Cold Food in Summer
The hot weather often tempts people to seek coolness. Various cold drinks catch people's attention. While enjoying the coolness, it is also important to protect the intestines and stomach. Overconsumption of cold food can stimulate the mucous membrane of the intestines and stomach, leading to digestive disorders. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid cold food in summer.
