What food is good to eat when the weather gets hot?

As the weather gets hotter and hotter, the most important factor affecting the human body is the poison of summer heat and dampness.

When summer-heat and dampness invade the human body, it will lead to pore opening, hyperhidrosis, qi deficiency, spleen-stomach dysfunction and food indigestion. Eating some cool vegetables is conducive to promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, relieving summer heat, clearing away heat and purging fire, expelling toxin and relaxing bowels.

The cool vegetables listed in summer include bitter gourd, towel gourd, cucumber, watermelon, melon, tomato, eggplant, celery, chrysanthemum brain, lettuce and asparagus.
