What do you have in summer?

It's hot in summer, especially when the summer days come, and the weather becomes more and more sultry, which makes people lose their appetite and lose their spirits. Xiaobian specially prepared five prescriptions for relieving summer heat for everyone, so that it can help us through the difficult and sultry weather.

First, you can afford to eat bitterness

You should eat bitterness in hot weather. Chinese medicine believes that bitter food can clear away heat and purge fire, refresh your mind, strengthen the spleen and dry dampness. However, people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold should not eat raw food, and should eat less or not. Excessive diarrhea and abdominal pain will occur. Bitter cold is also easy to hurt yin, which is not suitable for people who often stay up late due to yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity. It is best to blanch bitter vegetables such as bitter gourd and then mix them with cold, which can reduce their bitter cold and avoid damaging the spleen and stomach.

second: duck for cooking

in hot weather, duck can be used to cook more dishes, while beef and mutton should be eaten as little as possible. Duck meat is cold, sweet and salty, which can be greatly supplemented.
