　　Summer diet principles

　　In summer, the temperature is often between 37 and 39 degrees Celsius, and as high as 40 degrees Celsius, which is far beyond the normal heat tolerance of the human body. People live in such a high temperature season, and only by adapting can they survive the hot summer safely. Summer heat is a yang evil, which easily harms people's yin. If yin harms people, they will get sick. The disease is rapid and of short duration, often with strong fever, flushed face and eyes, thirst and upset, and even mania, delirium, and coma.

　　People have strong physical strength and can adapt to the high temperatures of summer heat without getting sick. The body's internal heat is excreted through sweating. When the temperature is between 28 and 30°C, the body's internal heat can be released smoothly. If the outside temperature exceeds 34°C, sweating will be blocked and a large amount of internal heat will accumulate in the body, making it easy to suffer from heatstroke. Only those with strong bodies can adapt to this high temperature, be able to dissipate internal heat, and not be invaded by external heat and cause illness. The human body has adapted to the summer climate, and the body's regulatory functions will not fail due to the high temperature outside. It can regulate the heart and kidneys and prevent the heart from becoming overheated and the kidneys from failing, thus ensuring good health. In the hot summer environment, the following five major principles should be followed in the diet to replenish physical strength and eat healthily.--

　　hydration

　　According to analysis by the medical community, under normal circumstances, the amount of sweat per person per day in summer is about 1000CC. For people who work in high temperature environments, the amount of sweat is more likely to be 4 to 10 times that of ordinary people. Sweat contains water and minerals such as magnesium, sodium, calcium, iron, and potassium. If water is not replenished in time, it may lead to heat stroke or muscle cramps.

　　Vitamin supplements

　　Vitamins A, B complex, C, D, E and various mineral supplements can be obtained from fruits and vegetables. In particular, various beans, roots, green and yellow fruits and vegetables, seaweeds and animal livers are all healthy foods that are conducive to summer consumption.

　　protein supplement

　　When you lose too much water through sweating, it will also accelerate the decomposition of protein. Therefore, you should supplement high-quality protein foods such as milk, eggs, fish, and meat in summer. Especially people who work in high temperatures need to supplement protein.

　　Pay attention to the total calories of the three meals

　　Hot summer tends to make people lose their appetite, but the basal metabolic rate is about 10 to 15% higher than in other seasons. Therefore, unless you want to lose weight, most people should slightly increase the total calorie intake of three meals. Especially for people who work in high temperatures, in addition to three meals, you can add some snacks that are easy to digest and absorb. However, you still need to consider the balanced intake of various foods. You cannot just eat snacks and desserts, otherwise it may be counterproductive and affect your health.

　　Plan your meals wisely

　　In a hot environment, appetite is not good. If the place and time are not suitable, it will even affect appetite. It is recommended to avoid eating half an hour before and after working hours. It is best to eat dinner after an hour of rest after work. Do not let the tension at work affect appetite and digestion. In addition, creating a relaxed and cool dining environment can also help increase appetite and aid digestion and absorption.

　　Regarding the coming summer, many people are always in a state of confusion and always like to use past experiences to resist. Some of these experiences are good, and some of them are not suitable in my opinion, because the body is always changing in life and is not static. Whether the walking environment is something we can get used to is also a question. Summer is an opportunity for heat accumulation and the human body will inevitably leak Yang Qi. This requires us to make timely adjustments to meet the needs of summer health care.

　　Summer health knowledge:

　　First, don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink water. Being thirsty indicates that the body’s water balance has been lost and the cells have begun to dehydrate. At this time, it is too late to drink water.

　　Second, do not drink too much when you are very thirsty. Drinking water in this way will make it difficult for the stomach to adapt and cause adverse consequences. The predecessors advocated: "Drink without being extremely thirsty, and don't drink too much." This is a scientific method to prevent being thirsty and not choosing to drink.

　　Third, it is not advisable to drink water before and during meals, because drinking water before and during meals will dilute the digestive juices, which is not conducive to the digestion and absorption of food. This is not good for the body in the long term.

　　Fourth, drinking some water when you get up in the morning can replenish the water consumed overnight, reduce blood concentration, promote blood circulation, and maintain normal levels of body fluids.
