Summer does not want to eat, eat is not easy to digest, body temperature rises, heart rate increases, etc., which are the human body metabolism and physiological condition of the summer heat environment stress response. If the heat load exceeds the limits of the body’s regulatory adaptation, coupled with the body’s heat dissipation less accumulated, resulting in the body temperature regulation center out of control, heat stroke will occur. As long as we take the right diet, even if the outside of the hot sun, we can also live a healthy and cool summer. A, less food tired – summer porridge as a staple heat will reduce appetite and digestive function of the gastrointestinal, mainly due to the high temperature environment on the body, through the nerve conduction of high-temperature stimulation to the thermoregulatory center, the food intake center has an inhibitory effect, resulting in a reduction in food intake. The effect of high temperature on the digestive function of the stomach and intestines is mainly manifested in the weakening of gastrointestinal motility, the reduction of free hydrochloric acid in gastric juice, and the acceleration of gastric emptying. Women who love beauty tend to ignore breakfast and staple foods in order to maintain a slender figure, which may cause hypoglycemia and hypotension, which is also a direct cause of heat stroke. Congee is easy to digest and can help replenish the water consumed by sweating, as well as quickly replenish blood sugar and energy, making it the best staple food to beat the heat. When making porridge, adding beans (such as mung beans, black beans), mixed grains (such as barley, oats), fruits and vegetables (such as watermelon rind, bitter melon), herbs (such as lotus leaves, honeysuckle, lotus seeds), etc., can strengthen the health effects of porridge, so that the vitamin and trace element supplementation in parallel.

Third, cold and damp injury to the stomach – cold drinks do not go below 10 degrees The temperature of cold drinks should not go below 10 ° C. Drinks too hot will increase sweating, but too cold and the body is being heated is a strong adverse stimulus. But many people like to eat a lot of frozen fruit or beer and other cold drinks before or after meals, not only affect the normal amount of meals, but also damage the gastrointestinal mucosa, affecting digestive function, because the cold and wet add the most damage to the stomach, which leads to a decrease in resistance and increase the risk of “heat stroke”. Cold drinks to drink a small number of times is good, so as to reduce the body’s lack of water, reduce the rise in rectal temperature, avoid drinking a lot of water and increase the burden on the heart and kidneys. Icy drinks are heat accomplices cold drinks through the gastrointestinal speed is much faster than room temperature food, often the more thirsty drink. Cold drinks, beer, etc. are cloaked in “ice” “fireball”, the high calorie content often becomes the nemesis of a good body and the accomplice of heat. The actual sweating will cause insufficient blood volume and lower blood pressure, thus increasing the risk of heat stroke. A lot of sweating also causes a large loss of salt (sodium chloride), which reduces the amount of chloride ion reserves necessary for the formation of gastric acid in the blood, thus affecting the generation of hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice, which is not conducive to the absorption of iron and calcium. Therefore, it is important to replenish water and salt in a timely manner. Light water can be a bit nauseating when you drink too much of it. Soup tea drinks are a good choice.

However, it is not advisable to drink too many cold drinks. Warm tea can lower the body surface temperature by stretching the sweat glands by 1 to 2 degrees Celsius, the effect of heat is far better than cold tea. Warm tips: soup, tea with less sugar inside mung bean soup, seaweed soup, nori soup and other “food soups” is the best choice. Should be limited to meat soup, bone broth, etc., because of its high fat content, not only can not relieve the heat, but also because of increased caloric intake and “the more you drink the hotter”. The former, such as salt water, salt soda and salt tea, salt concentration of 0.1% to 0.2% is appropriate, the latter can be selected from plain water, citric acid water, or by lime syrup, Chen Pi syrup, hawthorn syrup and other beverages. The latter has the advantages of drinking delicious, quenching thirst and accelerating heat adaptation. Light green tea and flower and fruit tea can not only diuretic and heat, fat elimination and laxative, but also has a special effect of beauty and fatigue, which is suitable for both young and old. Flower and fruit teas are recommended: chrysanthemum, omelet, honeysuckle, rose, lemon, jasmine, hawthorn, etc. No matter which method you choose, try to add less sugar to the soup and tea, otherwise it will weaken the cooling effect due to increased calorie intake. Fourth, the lowering of dampness and expectoration – low fat and excellent protein to eat more In a hot environment, the human metabolic rate increases, coupled with the hot weather, people sweat more, and every 100 ml of sweat contains 20 to 70 mg of nitrogen, if the diet can not keep up, it is very likely to cause negative nitrogen balance, back pain, dizziness and other symptoms. Therefore, the intake of eggs, milk, fish and shrimp, soy products and other low-fat high-quality protein should be increased in moderation. The amount of fat is acceptable to the eater, and the right amount of fat can increase the flavor of dishes and promote appetite, but too much fat can cause anorexia.
