There are several reasons why you can’t eat in summer: 1. Experiments on high temperature show that for every 10 degrees Celsius increase in temperature, the body's need for calories decreases by an average of 70 calories. In summer, the body's need for calories decreases, making people feel less hungry. 2. Dehydration phenomenon: In summer, people cannot feel the evaporation of water in the air-conditioned room, so the water intake is less, but the gastrointestinal tissue is already slightly dehydrated, thus affecting appetite. 3. Drinking too many sugary drinks can easily make you thirsty. Some people are used to guzzling sugary drinks, but "sugar" is a natural appetite suppressant. Sugar can be quickly absorbed by the blood, making people feel full all of a sudden, so they can't eat, "forming a vicious circle." Mung beans, red beans, lotus seeds, buckwheat, lily, jujube, cucumber, winter melon, chicken, duck, crucian carp, turtle, and honey all belong to this type of food and are the key food choices in summer. 2. Eating bitter foods can relieve heat and reduce internal heat. Bitter melon, loofah, celery, and lettuce are bitter and cold in nature. Eating them often in the summer can promote appetite, clear away heat and detoxify. 3. Steaming and boiling are the best cooking methods, with less frying. For example, mung beans and lotus seeds can be used to make porridge, chicken and duck can be steamed, and crucian carp, turtle, winter melon, and loofah can be used to make soup. 4. You should eat more fruits. Fruits are an important source of vitamins and inorganic salts for people in summer. They can also prevent heatstroke and reduce body temperature. Watermelon, melon and strawberry are recommended fruit varieties. 5. Cold food should be eaten in moderation. Eating some cold dishes and cold drinks in summer makes people feel comfortable and relieves the heat, but don’t eat too much, especially the elderly and children with weak spleen and stomach, they should not eat too much at one time. 6. In summer, people sweat a lot, so they must increase their water intake. Adults should drink at least 1500 ml of water a day. It is better to drink tea or boiled water, but you can also choose fruit juice drinks. 7. It is better to eat small meals frequently. The days are long in summer, people do more outdoor activities, and consume a lot of physical energy. It is recommended to eat small meals frequently and avoid overeating. If you go to bed late at night, you can have a midnight snack. |
