What to eat in hot and humid climate?

Sweating in a hot and humid climate, eating more sour food and sweating in summer is the easiest way to lose body fluid. Therefore, you need to eat some sour foods, such as tomatoes, lemons, strawberries, dark plums, grapes, hawthorn, pineapples, mangoes, kiwis and so on. Their sour taste can stop sweating, diarrhea and dampness, prevent hyperhidrosis, consume gas and hurt yin, promote fluid production and quench thirst, and strengthen stomach and digestion. If vinegar is added to dishes, acetic acid can also sterilize and prevent gastrointestinal diseases. If the above foods are eaten scientifically, they can completely meet the needs of the heart and spleen for various nutrients. Drinking water is very important, but don't drink too much. Drinking water can maintain sufficient blood volume, reduce blood viscosity, expel poisons and reduce the burden on the heart and kidneys. But you can't binge drink, binge drinking not only dilutes gastric juice, reduces the bactericidal ability of gastric acid, but also absorbs too much water at once, which increases the burden on the heart and is harmful to health. Generally, after getting up in the morning, drink a cup of cold water first, and drink more tea and light salt water during the day. The daily demand is 6~8 cups. Summer needs comprehensive and balanced nutrition most. In a high temperature environment, the human body will consume a lot of nutrients. In addition to three meals a day, we should also pay attention to supplementing vitamins C, B 1, B2, A and D from vegetables, fruits and diet. People with more calcium loss should also supplement high-quality calcium preparations. Students and the elderly, in particular, should keep enough sleep, don't stay up late, and take a nap if possible. "Bitter" food: As the saying goes, it is better to eat "bitter" food in hot weather than to take supplements. Bitter food contains amino acids, vitamins, alkaloids, glycosides and trace elements. It has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, summer-relieving, refreshing and anti-fatigue functions. Common "bitter" foods are bitter gourd, dandelion, beer, tea, coffee, chocolate, cocoa and so on. However, it should be noted that bitter food should not be eaten in excess at one time, and excessive bitterness can easily cause nausea, vomiting, stomach failure and other discomfort. Foods rich in "potassium": Because people sweat more in hot days, sweating a lot can take away a lot of potassium, which will cause excessive loss of potassium ions in the body, leading to hypokalemia, which will cause fatigue, dizziness, headache, loss of appetite, listlessness and other symptoms. The most effective way to prevent potassium deficiency in hot weather is to eat more foods containing potassium, such as strawberries, peaches, spinach, potatoes, green onions, celery and edamame. The content of potassium in tea is particularly high, accounting for about 1.5%. Drinking more tea in hot weather can relieve summer heat and supplement potassium, killing two birds with one stone. Gas and food: Hot weather in summer often makes people physically and mentally exhausted, unable to eat or sleep well. At this time, besides relaxing and stretching, it is particularly important to choose some delicious food. Such as radish, beer, rose, lotus root, fennel, hawthorn, orange and so on.
