It's hot and dry, which makes people have no appetite to eat and it's hard to swallow. What if I just want to drink water?

Every summer, many people have poor appetite and decreased digestive function, and are prone to fatigue, listlessness, gastrointestinal discomfort and other symptoms.

The mechanism is that sweating in summer is easy to cause imbalance of body fluid metabolism.

Amylase activity and gastric juice secretion decrease, leading to loss of appetite and digestive dysfunction.

Therefore, according to the characteristics of loss of appetite in summer, corresponding measures should be taken to scientifically arrange summer diet.

Pay attention to supplement salt and vitamins:

Due to excessive sweating, a lot of sodium chloride is lost, so we should pay attention to supplementing salt while replenishing water, and drink some salty boiled water every day to keep the acid-base balance and osmotic pressure in the body relatively stable. As for vitamin supplementation, you should eat more foods rich in vitamins B 1, B2 and C in summer, such as watermelon, cucumber, tomato, beans and their products, animal liver and kidney. You can also drink some juice.

The hot weather should clear up;

In terms of dietary nourishment, the principles are tonifying, strengthening the spleen, eliminating summer heat and eliminating dampness. Fat, sweet and hot products are not suitable for eating, but light and nourishing food, such as duck, goose, crucian carp, lean meat, beans, coix seed, lily and so on. After reasonable cooking, it can be made into various delicious dishes, which can not only stimulate appetite, strengthen nutrition, but also relieve summer heat and keep fit. In addition, you can also make some "summer medicine porridge" such as mung bean porridge, flat bean porridge and lotus leaf porridge.
