With the arrival of summer, the temperature remains high, many people’s appetite is getting worse and worse, a lot of ice cream, fruit and other food, but also some people due to the heat, and with it, there are sleepy, cranky and other discomfort symptoms. The “summer syndrome” is coming, experts suggest that it can be improved by appropriate dietary regimen. Choose potassium-rich food As the saying goes, spring sleepiness, autumn fatigue and summer napping. Many people know this saying, but they don’t know the reason for it. Neuromuscular excitement is maintained by potassium ions, the body’s potassium ion content is relatively insufficient, people will appear weakness, but also make people easily feel depressed or irritable. Especially in summer, people are more likely to sweat in the hot sun, so the loss of potassium ions will be more than in other seasons. For this situation, in the summer diet structure, it is recommended to choose some potassium-rich foods to improve these symptoms. For example, bananas are relatively rich in potassium among fruits, as well as potatoes, yams, taro and green leafy vegetables, which are also relatively high in potassium, and it is recommended to eat more of them. In addition, you can also eat more food to clear heat and moisture, such as watermelon, bitter melon, peaches, strawberries, tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers, etc.. The diet is mainly light summer temperature, sweating, drinking more water, stomach acid is easily washed down, digestive juices secretion is relatively reduced, digestive function is weakened, resulting in poor appetite. In addition to the lack of sleep and hot and cold food factors, if too much fatty food, will increase the gastrointestinal burden, affecting digestion. The diet in summer should be light and calm, with less oily food. Also ensure sufficient protein and eat more vegetables and fruits to provide sufficient vitamins, such as tomatoes and beans. Do not over-eat chilled food. For example, watermelon placed in the refrigerator, because too cold after consumption may cause sudden contraction of gastrointestinal blood vessels, causing gastrointestinal dysfunction, gastrointestinal cramps, abdominal pain, diarrhea, indigestion and other problems. It is advisable to eat it at room temperature for a few minutes before eating. Cold drinks, popsicles, etc. should not eat more.
