The weather is getting hotter and hotter. What vegetables should I eat in summer?

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the vegetables that should be eaten in summer are:

The first category is melon, cucumber, bitter gourd, towel gourd and other melon vegetables. From the point of view of Chinese medicine, most melons can clear away heat and promote diuresis, help eliminate toxins, and are good food for cooling and heatstroke prevention. The water content of most melons and vegetables is above 90%, and they are rich in various minerals and vitamins, which can effectively supplement a lot of water and nutrition lost in summer.

The second category is cold vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplant, celery and lettuce. Chinese medicine believes that eating some cool vegetables in summer is conducive to promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, relieving summer heat, clearing away heat and toxic materials, and expelling toxins and relaxing bowels.

The third category is garlic, onions and other vegetables with "sterilization" effect. In summer, the temperature is high, germs breed and spread quickly, and intestinal diseases occur frequently. At this time, eat more "sterilized" vegetables such as leeks, green onions, leeks and green garlic to prevent diseases.
