Recently, the temperature in all parts of the country is above 30 degrees, and it is even closer to 40 degrees in central North China, southeast Jianghan, Jianghuai Chongqing, southern Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia.
In this hot day, the drink to relieve the summer heat is, of course:
Bean soup
They can not only effectively supplement water, but also help to supplement electrolytes such as potassium and magnesium. Importantly, after adding a small amount of sugar, they are also delicious.
If you sweat a lot, you can add a little salt to the soup. It is good to add less than 3 grams of salt to a litre of soup porridge (about 0.3% concentration), and you don’t even need to taste salty.
Gululu took a big gulp of cool mung bean soup (porridge), and the summer heat on her body seemed to have been taken away. I felt refreshing when I thought about it.
High temperature and heat are a kind of [adversity] for the human body. The body must sweat a lot to maintain the constant body temperature.
The composition of sweat is quite complex. Besides water, it also contains minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, vitamin C and various B vitamins, as well as a small amount of protein and amino acids.
[Sauna Day] During the time, the loss of nutrients and water is greater, which will aggravate the feeling of limb weakness and not really want to eat well.
How can survive the intense heat healthily? Teacher Fan Zhihong shared several suggestions from the perspective of eating and drinking. Let’s see, it is really useful.
Drink more porridge soup to supplement electrolyte.
In summer, enough water-containing foods should be supplied, and more importantly, various minerals lost during sweating, especially sodium and potassium, should be replenished.
Sodium deficiency makes the body tired and weak, potassium deficiency, and people’s resistance to heatstroke will decrease.
Ordinary sweet drinks only contain sugar and water, but cannot provide electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. Therefore, fruits and vegetables and nutritious porridge soup have become a good choice for relieving summer heat. The bean soup mentioned at the beginning is the best. Green tea, flower and fruit tea, sour plum soup, etc. are also very good.
When drinking soup, pay attention to a small amount of times. In addition, just take out the drink from the refrigerator, it is best to lower it at room temperature for a while, especially for the elderly and children. Intestinal tract is easily stimulated. Too cold drinks may cause sudden contraction of gastrointestinal blood vessels, causing stomachache and even diarrhea.
Eat milk, eggs and beans to supplement protein.
In the high temperature above 35 ℃, the human body perspires and loses protein, while the decomposition of protein in the body will also increase. In addition, in sultry weather, people often lose appetite, which is easy to cause insufficient protein consumption.
Dr. Clove suggested that one cup of yogurt or milk, one egg or more than half of duck eggs, plus one bean product or a bowl of bean porridge, should be guaranteed every day, and fresh cooked lean meat and fish, such as steamed fish and spiced beef, should be eaten frequently to supplement protein and trace elements such as iron and zinc.
Eat more vegetables, fruits and coarse cereals and add vitamins.
According to measurements, the demand for water-soluble vitamins in high temperature weather is more than twice as much as usual.
A good way to supplement vitamin C is to eat more vegetables and fruits. Good foods to supplement vitamin B1 are beans such as mung beans, red beans and lentils, as well as coarse grains such as corn, barley and oats. Good sources of vitamin B2 are milk and green leafy vegetables.
If you don’t eat well, it is best to supplement 1-2 tablets of vitamin B complex and 2-3 tablets of vitamin C every day. With sufficient vitamins and minerals, you can feel refreshed in summer!
Stimulate appetite, eat more than a small amount, and skillfully use seasonings.
When your appetite is poor, you may as well try a small amount of more meals, and you can add more meals when the weather is cool.
Foods with light bitter taste and sour and sweet taste are very refreshing. Proper addition of salty and spicy condiments is also conducive to stimulating appetite and digestion and absorption.
The principle of seasoning is to use less oil and more vinegar. Some spices-mustard, green mustard, mint, perilla, sweet perilla and other refreshing spices can be used to help digestion and obtain better cooling effect.
Warning! Cold drinks are not good for relieving summer heat.
Cold drinks can only make the mouth feel cool, but they are not a good product to relieve summer heat. Studies have proved that cold drinks cannot lower one’s body temperature. On the contrary, due to cold contraction of blood vessels, it reduces the speed of body heat dissipation.
Eating cold drinks before meals is easy to cause insufficient food for normal meals. In addition, daily digestion is not a good friend, greedy for cold drinks will further reduce digestive function.
Ordinary popsicles and ice cream are dominated by sugar, and the nutrient content required by the human body is very low, and the more you eat it, the more thirsty you may be. Ice cream is the cold drink with the highest nutritional value, but its fat content is relatively high, so dieters should pay attention to control it.
It doesn’t hurt to eat one every day, but it’s better not to eat it before meals. If possible, using yogurt instead of ice cream and fruit instead of popsicles is more beneficial to summer health.
Is it reasonable to put dumplings on the head and flour on the second?
In the old saying, the meaning of eating dumplings, pancakes and noodles in the summer days is not only the joy of having enough food after the summer harvest of wheat, but also the main reminder that people should not eat too well in summer and treat themselves frequently.
As mentioned earlier, sweating more will lose a lot of protein and amino acids, as well as a lot of B vitamins and minerals such as potassium and sodium. Compared with rice, white flour has higher protein, and B vitamins and various minerals are about twice as high as refined white rice, so eating noodles can supplement these lost nutrients.
However, these dietary customs mainly originated from the era of poverty when nutrition was insufficient.
The common people are usually coarse grains, even do not have enough to eat, can eat a white flour meat stuffing dumplings, eat a white flour pancake roll egg, is quite happy things. Now the quality of life has improved, these practices are more just a traditional habit passed down.
If you don’t know how to eat what recently, according to the old saying, it is actually quite interesting to live.
