Ice cream painting of summer solstice solar terms

Tomorrow's summer solstice, as one of the 24 solar terms, is not the hottest day of the year, although the day is the longest and the sun angle is the highest. As the saying goes, "it's hot in dog days", and the hottest stage in summer is in dog days. However, with the arrival of summer solstice, more and more heat is absorbed by the ground, so the temperature will remain high, and the hottest "dog days" will come from summer to the future. In hot summer, everyone likes to eat sorbet, drink cold drinks and blow air conditioning, which has an immediate cooling effect. However, the cooling of drinking cold drinks and blowing air conditioners is only an appearance, and cooling from the inside is what we should focus on.

I think most people want to "live" in the refrigerator or hold air conditioning in hot summer. As we all know, people are prone to heatstroke when the temperature is too high in summer, but what many people don't know is that the "sauna" weather in summer is accompanied by heavy humidity. People often drink cold drinks and eat cold food such as ice cream, and then stay in air-conditioned rooms all night, and there is a lot of cold in their bodies. Therefore, remember to eat these four kinds of foods often in summer, to cool down and relieve summer heat, replenish water and adequate nutrition, and at the same time, some foods can drive away the cold and help you spend the hot summer safely.

You should eat fruit from summer to around.

As we all know, you sweat a lot in hot summer, so you should give priority to hydrating. There are many seasonal fruits in summer, such as peaches, mangosteen, plums, lychees, bayberry, mangoes, etc., which are rich in minerals and moisture and can provide the daily nutritional needs of human body. But when it comes to the most thirst-quenching fruit, watermelon bears the brunt! Rich in water and vitamins, it is a good choice for summer fruits. Iced watermelons, whether squeezed or eaten directly, can make people cool instantly.

It is advisable to drink tea and soup from summer to around.

It is said that it is not recommended to eat too many cold drinks, ice cream and other raw and cold foods in summer, because it is easy to ruin the stomach. So, is there anything to drink in hot summer? Yes, you can drink more tea in summer, such as chrysanthemum tea, mint tea and green tea, which is more pathogenic. In addition, the table can also be served with mung bean soup, winter melon soup, sour plum soup, tremella soup, lily lotus seed soup and other soup sweet soup at any time, especially the taste and taste of the sweet soup after being chilled is no worse than that of cold drinks.

Vegetables should be eaten around the summer solstice.

There are also many seasonal vegetables in summer, such as loofah, bitter gourd, water spinach, tomato and celery. But in summer, you should eat more vegetables such as loofah and bitter gourd, because loofah is rich in water, and the water content is higher than 90%, and bitter food such as bitter gourd has always been known as "a weapon to destroy fire". Eating more bitter gourd in summer has the effect of relieving summer heat. The delicious way of loofah is to make soup or stir-fry clams, and the delicious way of bitter gourd is to stir-fry or cold salad, which has a refreshing taste and the more you eat it, the more delicious it is.

It is worth mentioning that "eating ginger in summer" is a well-known way to eat. Eat more ginger in summer, whether it is ginger tea, sweet soup cooked with ginger or cooking with ginger, it is a good choice. Ginger can promote the digestion and absorption of food, drive away the "cold" that people gather in the body because of blowing air conditioners and eating cold drinks, and has the effect of heatstroke prevention and cooling.

Eat "warm meat" in summer solstice.

It is said that greasy meat should be avoided in summer, because meat is difficult to digest and the price of meat is much higher than that of vegetables and fruits. However, meat has essential nutrients for human body. You can choose duck or mutton with warmer texture, and rabbit meat is also good. In hot summer, we can stew a pot of soup or porridge with these meat ingredients, which is delicious and nutritious.

Well, generally speaking, after the summer solstice, even in the dog days, everyone should pay attention to cooling off the heat and eat more of the above four foods. At the same time, we should also pay attention to driving away the "cold" in the body and try to eat food with sufficient water content to supplement the water lacking in the body due to sweating. Don't just focus on cold drinks, barbecues, cold beer and other foods that are not good for us. I wish everyone can spend the hot summer safely!
