The temperature is high in summer. What if I have no appetite? What is the reason why I have no appetite in summer?
1. Why do you have no appetite in summer?
1, high temperature repels hot food.
The temperature is high in summer, and people psychologically reject steaming food. Moreover, after the environmental high temperature acts on the human body, the high temperature stimulus is transmitted to the thermoregulatory center through nerve conduction, and then the relationship between the thermoregulatory center and the feeding regulatory center will inhibit the feeding center, resulting in a decrease in food intake.
Solution: It is recommended that food be heated before eating. Of course, it is not recommended to eat leftovers directly, because leftovers are easy to breed bacteria, which can easily lead to gastrointestinal diseases and diarrhea, which is not conducive to health.
2, less exercise in summer, slow metabolism
People sweat when they exercise in summer, so people will try to reduce their activities and avoid sweating. However, the reduction of exercise will lead to slower metabolism, lower energy consumption and slower gastrointestinal peristalsis, thus reducing the demand for food and appetite. In the long run, it will lead to insufficient nutrient intake, which is not good for the body.
Solution: You can't give up exercise completely just because the weather is hot in summer. It is suggested to take proper exercise every morning and evening, such as walking, dancing and swimming. , increase energy consumption, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and increase appetite.
3. Insufficient water supply.
In summer, the temperature is high, sweating increases, water loss in the body increases, and the amount of drinking water will be higher than other seasons. But if you drink less water, it will affect the secretion of digestive juice, which will affect your appetite.
Solution: It is suggested to drink water properly before meals 1 hour to ensure adequate secretion of digestive juice, thus stimulating appetite and facilitating digestion and absorption of food.
4. Drink too much water or juice.
When sweating increases in summer, drink more water. But if you drink a lot of water, the digestive juice in your stomach will be diluted, which will affect your digestive function and lead to loss of appetite. Drinking plenty of water will occupy a limited stomach volume, leading to loss of appetite.
In addition, some people will drink a lot of sweet drinks such as fruit juice to quench their thirst. Sugar in sweet drinks such as fruit juice will raise blood sugar and affect appetite. Also, if you often drink iced drinks, it will hinder the normal function of the spleen and stomach, cause dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, and cause bloating and diarrhea.
Solution: Drinking water regularly can replenish body water and promote metabolism, but it is definitely not as good as drinking more water. It is recommended to replenish about 3000 ml of water every day in summer. At the same time, the amount of drinking water during the day and at night should be equal. Don't drink too much water in an hour. Also, don't drink too much ice water or iced drinks.
2. What should I do if I have a bad appetite?
1. Drink some soup or cold drink before eating, which can alleviate the inhibition of the excitement of the drinking center on the feeding center. Such as vegetable soup, fish soup, broth, etc., can promote the secretion of digestive juice and stimulate appetite. If you choose a cold drink, you should not overdo it, and the temperature should not be lower than 10℃, because too low a temperature will slow the taste response.
2. When eating, you can eat it with some cold porridge (such as mung bean porridge), cold dishes (such as cold cucumber) and cold soup (such as loofah soup), which can not only supplement electrolytes and water such as sodium and potassium, but also stimulate appetite.
3. Adding some seasonings (such as onion, ginger, garlic and vinegar) to the diet can stimulate the secretion of gastric juice and increase appetite.
4. I feel bad appetite after working or exercising in hot weather. It is recommended to have a proper rest before eating. You can also take a bath before eating to make yourself feel cool and comfortable, and choose a cool dining environment.
5. You can choose some foods that are not greasy and refreshing and appetizing, such as:
Cold dishes: such as hot and sour shredded radish, kelp lettuce mixed with carrots, preserved eggs mixed with cucumbers, spinach mixed with nuts;
Cold soup: such as loofah, seaweed and shrimp skin soup, kelp, melon and barley soup, bitter gourd and soybean keel soup, tomato cold soup;
Porridge: such as mung bean porridge, millet porridge, sweet potato porridge, and eight-treasure porridge;
Melons and fruits: such as cucumbers, tomatoes, watermelons and peaches;
Salad: such as lemon black pepper chicken salad (ingredients such as chicken breast, lemon, colored pepper, cucumber, lettuce, onion, potato);
Others: such as mung bean soup, sour plum soup, lemonade, soybean milk, yogurt and so on.
6, to ensure adequate drinking water, don't wait until thirsty to drink water, try to choose cold water, soup, melons and fruits, sports drinks, etc. Drink water instead of alcoholic drinks and high-sugar drinks.
7, to maintain a balanced diet, such as the right amount of fat can increase the flavor of dishes, promote appetite, but not too much; Ensure that you eat a proper amount of fish, meat, eggs, milk, beans and other foods rich in high-quality protein every day; Pay attention to supplement adequate vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin B 1, which can promote appetite and digestion. You can supplement it by eating millet, oats, mung beans, red beans, sunflower seeds, peanuts and other foods, or you can choose the corresponding nutritional supplements.
8, other matters needing attention, such as:
Insisting on moderate exercise will not only help to maintain a healthy weight, but also promote the digestion and absorption of food, which will help to increase appetite;
Maintain a happy mood and avoid irritability and mood swings;
Ensure adequate sleep, such as trying not to stay up late at night and taking a proper rest at noon;
Take the initiative to cook and improve the fun of eating by changing the color and variety of food.
9. Finally, if you suspect that illness or drug factors cause poor appetite, you should take the initiative to consult a doctor and find a suitable solution.
