What should you pay attention to during the hot summer?

I like summer best. I was born in summer, so I have to answer this question.

Let's talk about what the solar term is this summer.

As the eleventh solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar, it is also the fifth solar term in summer. The arrival of Little Summer indicates the gradual climax of summer in a year, and it is not far from the hottest day.

At this time, the average temperature in the south has been around 30 degrees. With the increase of rain, most places are accompanied by strong winds, thunderstorms and even heavy rains. The weather is already very hot, and when it rains, the air becomes very humid, and people will feel tired and weak, and their resistance will drop easily and they will catch a cold easily.

Therefore, there is a folk proverb: "Although it is a small summer, it is a big summer."

Therefore, in the light summer season, we should focus on preventing colds, do a good job in heatstroke prevention and cooling, at the same time, be diligent in ventilation, prepare for moisture-proof, and at the same time, do a good job in protecting against bad weather such as lightning and heavy rain.

Because the weather is getting hotter and hotter, we need to make more preparations from the diet to prevent heatstroke and get angry.

Specifically, we can adjust our diet from the following aspects:

First, you can add some cool foods to dishes, such as lotus root, because lotus root itself is a food for clearing away heat and appetizing, which can nourish yang and is a rare good food in summer.

We can wash the lotus root, slice it, cook it with boiling water, add salt, monosodium glutamate, vinegar and pepper, mix it well, put it in the refrigerator for 0/2 hour, and eat it with rice, which can play a good role in heatstroke prevention.

Second, bitter gourd is also a rare good food in summer. It has very good effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, diminishing inflammation and reducing fever, and it is better to eat in summer.

We can divide bitter gourd into two parts, remove the pulp and seeds inside, then slice it and marinate it with salt for half an hour. If it is bitter, it can be washed twice with water. If it is not recommended, you can directly add vinegar, garlic slices, soy sauce and pepper, and mix well to serve. It will taste better if you put it in the refrigerator and eat it after a cold meal.

Third, in summer, the weather is hot. If you can have some chilled watermelons, it can be considered as a good heatstroke prevention and cooling, but it is not recommended to eat watermelons that have been chilled for too long, which is not good for the stomach and is easy to cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

Slight summer is the hottest season in a year, and then it is the hottest time in a year, so doing heatstroke prevention and cooling in advance can make us have a better summer.

Here, I wish you all a happy and beautiful summer!
