Is the summer heat the hottest time?

The hot summer is one of the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar, and it is the hottest period in most parts of China in a year, just before and after the "middle volt" in the "three volts". At this time, the temperature is the highest, plants grow fastest, and crops grow fastest at this time.

In some areas where the ecological environment has not changed on a large scale, summer solar terms are a good time for people to watch fireflies. When the ancients saw fireflies flying out of the haystack, they thought that fireflies were changed from rotten grass, so there was a saying that "rotten grass is fireflies", whether right or wrong. Don't you think it is very clever to think that dead hay can also be turned into sparkling life without losing childlike interest?

After the summer heat, the probability of thunderstorm will increase greatly, the summer heat will gradually fade, and the weather will begin to transition to beginning of autumn. In the meantime, while preventing heatstroke, we should also pay attention to controlling the intake of ice cream and drinks. These foods usually contain a lot of sugar. As we said before, the Dietary Guidelines for China Residents suggested that the daily intake of added sugar for adults should not exceed 50g, and it is better to control it below 25g.

The sugar content of a bottle of coke and two popsicles has far exceeded this standard. Controlling the intake of added sugar is not only because it may lead to obesity, but related data show that excessive intake of added sugar will increase the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Therefore, it is suggested that everyone should mainly drink boiled water, and each adult should ensure the drinking water of 1.5L~ 1.7L every day. Watermelon is also a well-deserved king of relieving summer heat. It's refreshing to drink a glass of iced watermelon in hot summer.
