June 21, 2022 is summer solstice. On this day, the sun's direct northward background is the longest day in the northern hemisphere in the year. It marks the real arrival of summer. The next day is hotter and one day, and it will always be hot until mid -August. During this period of time, the day is short and short, the climate is hot, and everything starts. The season is characterized by "summer long", which means growth. According to the characteristics of "growing all things and anger" during the summer solstice, you should pay attention to "Yangyang" in diet.

The summer solstice is coming, because it is difficult to eat cold food and cold drinks to reduce the temperature in the body. However, summer hot weather should eat less cold and cold drinks. Because the pores of the human body are expanding and the heat dissipation is more, if you blindly eat cold food and cold drinks, the body will be damaged and consumed, and diseases such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, cough and asthma. Therefore, during the summer solstice, the amount of cold should be appropriately controlled, especially the weak spleen and stomach, and the elderly and children should pay more attention. Those who are easy to cause "bitter summer" can often use fresh lotus leaf boiled porridge; eat more foods such as lotus, lydos, pear, pineapple and other foods.

Due to the poor function of the spleen and stomach and loss of appetite, bitter food during the summer solstice can restore the ability of the spleen and stomach and enhance the appetite; the bitter taste can be used to leak the heart of the heart, adjust the summer solstice to the beginning of the autumn "Changxia" hot.

Among bitter food, the most representative of bitter gourd.

Budingcha

Buding tea has the effects of reducing heat and detoxification, anti -inflammatory sterilization, phlegm and cough, healthy stomach, refreshing the brain, weight loss, lowering blood pressure, blood lipids, and cholesterol.

However, drinking Budingcha is not suitable for everyone:

Menstrual women and dysmenorrhea women are not suitable for drinking. Women's menstrual period is in a state of blood loss and reduced resistance. At this time, drinking bitter tea with a slightly coolness is easily caused by cold and cold, and the menstrual blood is discharged smoothly, causing dysmenorrhea, which can even cause irregular menstruation. Women who often dysmenorrhea, even if they are not in the menstrual period, are best to drink bitter tea.

Patients with chronic gastroenteritis are not suitable for drinking. Most patients with chronic gastroenteritis have varying degrees of spleen and stomach deficiency. Once the abdomen is cold or eats cold foods, it is prone to abdominal pain and diarrhea. Buding tea will increase these symptoms.

In addition, tea, coffee, cocoa, etc. can also be used. However, the bitter food should not be excessive, and it is easy to cause disgusting and vomiting discomfort. Patients with stomach disease and spleen deficiency or constipation should be used with caution. (Edit Li Chuang)
