As the saying goes, "It's better to make up for a thousand than to make up for ten thousand at the beginning of summer. During the four seasons of the year, high temperatures in summer can weaken a person's digestive function, leading to loss of appetite, weakness, qi deficiency, fatigue, and multiple illnesses.
In terms of diet, during the beginning of summer, one should eat more light and vitamin rich foods, such as yam, wheat, corn paste, eggs, etc. These foods can prevent heatstroke, reduce sweating, replenish fluids, and enhance appetite.
Drinking green tea in summer, such as Dongting Biluochun and Nanjing Yuhua tea, can timely replenish the water lost due to sweating, play a role in clearing heat and reducing summer heat, generating fluids and quenching thirst.
