What is good to eat in summer?
Eat more bitter foods to nourish the heart:
According to Chinese medicine, summer belongs to fire, and the heart also belongs to fire. Therefore, it is easy for the heart to become excessive in summer, so we should pay attention to nourishing the heart in terms of diet. Bitter foods help to reduce heart fire and are beneficial for summer heart health. When planning summer recipes, you can try to eat more bitter vegetables, such as bitter gourd, lettuce, malan, cabbage, lettuce, celery, etc.
Sour foods reduce sweating:
In summer, the body's yang energy tends to be outward, and the hot weather makes it easy to sweat, causing the loss of nutrients and salt from the body. Sour foods have a constricting effect and can help retain the nutrients and salt. Of course, to replenish the nutrients and salt lost due to sweating, summer recipes should also include foods rich in nutrients, and milk is a very good choice.
In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, when considering women's summer health, we should pay attention to the balance between external yang and internal yin in the body. This situation can easily lead to poor gastrointestinal function. Eating too many cold foods in hot weather can cause illness. It can harm the spleen and stomach, and vomiting and diarrhea are possible, so be careful and avoid indulging in cold foods.
Eat less fatty and sweet foods:
In summer, the high temperature puts stress on various parts of the body, and certain functions of the body are affected, leading to poor appetite and weak digestion. Therefore, for women with weak gastrointestinal function, summer recipes should not include too many fatty and sweet flavors. It is better to eat light and easily digestible foods, which can keep the tendons and bones healthy.
