At this time, the weather under the heat of Yang forced, the ground of moisture up, for the heaviest wet season of the year, wet heat fumigation, in which people are most likely to feel wet evil. People because of the hot weather, greedy cold drink cold that is too much drinking cold beer, ice cream, ice porridge, etc., sitting and lying on the wet ground, or living in a humid place, suffering from rain, etc., moisture is easy to invade into the body. Dampness belongs to the “Yin”, easy to damage the body Yang, trapped spleen Yang, the spleen does not transport, can appear: stomach fullness or hidden pain, the mouth is light and tasteless, do not think about eating, heavy limbs, head heavy as a wrap or not fresh, poor stool or stool several times a day quality thin with abdominal pain, after heavy, etc..
In the summer, Zhengzhou Tianda stalls business is booming, but the state of dietary hygiene is worrying. Summer bacteria, microbial reproduction is very fast, especially meat, fish food is most susceptible to deterioration, small workshops have limited preservation conditions, in order to maximize the benefits, the store is unwilling to invest in equipment, or purchase expired, spoiled food sales, once ingested, it is easy to lead to acute gastrointestinal infections: nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, etc..
These days, with the rise in temperature, Zhengzhou into the “sauna days”, to the gastroenterology department to see the number of gastrointestinal disease has increased, this afternoon, more than 20 patients, one-third of the patients with diarrhea, and other improper diet induced gastrointestinal disease. We would like to remind our friends to pay attention to summer diet hygiene and protect their intestines and stomachs.
Specific measures to protect the intestines and stomach.
1, pay attention to dietary hygiene.
Hot weather in summer, humid climate, is a variety of disease-causing microorganisms reproduction season. Food is prone to spoilage, coupled with more mosquitoes and insects, increased transmission channels, a variety of intestinal infectious diseases and gastritis in the summer frequently. The main gastrointestinal diseases that occur in summer are acute gastritis, bacterial dysentery, food poisoning, alcohol poisoning and acute pancreatitis. Therefore, it is best to make and eat meals now, and to wash and disinfect raw fruits and vegetables. When making cold dishes, garlic paste and vinegar should be added, which can be seasoned and sterilized, and enhance appetite. To prevent pathogenic microorganisms from taking advantage of the situation.
2, diet should be light.
Summer sweating, drinking water will also increase, gastric acid is diluted, digestive juice secretion is also relatively small, if the diet is greasy, more spicy food is easy to hurt the spleen and stomach, causing indigestion and other diseases, and light diet can help appetite to increase food.
3, eat more “bitter” in summer.
It is generally believed that the bitter food has the effect of summer heat, such as bitter melon, can clear the summer heat, to dry its wet, it can strengthen the spleen, enhance appetite.
4, eat more “vinegar”.
Sour things have an appetizing effect, increasing the digestive capacity of the stomach and intestines. Sour food can collect and astringent, summer sweat is easy to hurt Yin, eating acid can converge sweat, stop diarrhea. For example, tomatoes have the function of quenching thirst, strengthening the stomach and eliminating food, cooling the blood and calming the liver, clearing heat and detoxifying the body, and lowering blood pressure. In the cooking method advocates more steamed, cold and other ways, to avoid deep-fried, barbecued food.
5, pay attention to supplemental vitamins.
High temperature season, the body’s metabolism accelerates, easy to lack of various vitamins. At this time, you can selectively quantitative supplement some vitamins, preferably food supplement, you can choose some vitamin and calcium-rich food, such as watermelon, cucumber, tomatoes, beans and their products, animal liver and kidney, shrimp, etc., you can also drink some juice. It is recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables, especially more watery varieties such as watermelon, cucumber and tomatoes. These vegetables have fewer calories and can restore one’s spirit. They can be eaten in between meals. But watermelon eat more, some people will have dry mouth and sore throat, which may be related to the high sugar content and more urine.
6, pay attention to salt and potassium supplementation.
More sweating in summer, the body loses more salt. So pay attention to eat more salty food to replenish the salt lost in the body, to achieve the balance required by the body. In addition, sweating a lot can also lead to excessive loss of potassium ions in the body, the specific symptoms of the body is tiredness and weakness, loss of appetite, etc.. Fresh vegetables and fruits contain more potassium, so you can eat some strawberries, apricots, lychees, peaches, grapes and other fruits in a controlled manner, while vegetables such as green vegetables, onions, celery, beans, etc. are also rich in potassium. Tea contains more potassium, summer time, drink more tea, not only can eliminate the heat, but also can replenish potassium, can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Mineral water, cold tea, milk, apple juice is the ideal thirst-quenching drinks, these drinks have the least amount of heat.
7, cold drinks are appropriate.
Many people love to be cool in the summer, especially after exercise or a lot of sweating, more like to drink a cold drink “cool”. Appropriate to drink some cold drinks, can play the effect of heat relief, but must be appropriate, not more food, especially people with poor gastrointestinal function, but also to avoid. Otherwise, it will make the gastrointestinal temperature drop, causing irregular contractions and inducing abdominal pain, diarrhea and other diseases.
