Our body experiences tremendous stress in the heat. In summer, as a rule, there is no appetite, and when we consume a large amount of food, we feel discomfort in the stomach. You can solve this problem with proper nutrition during a hot period.
In the hot season, metabolic processes slow down, so the body feels tired, and if a person sweats profusely, then he is thirsty. All this gives a lot of unpleasant sensations.
To change your well-being for the better, you need to limit your diet and follow these rules.
Do not eat salty or sweet foods.
Do not drink strong drinks.
Don't overeat.
Drink green tea, homemade kvass, mineral water, and fermented milk drinks.
Eat raw vegetables and fruits.
Compliance with these rules will help you cope with stress, as well as lose weight. In this case, the heat is the best helper. First of all, you need to remove sugar from your diet. It can be replaced with fresh or dried fruits, as well as berries and honey. Sugar consumption makes you thirsty and retains water in the body, preventing it from evaporating naturally. Therefore, the human body heats up and fainting may occur. Salt also affects the body in the same way.
Alcoholic drinks have a detrimental effect on the human body, especially in the heat. Alcohol retains water in tissues, where it is heated to high temperatures. This can cause stroke and loss of consciousness. It is best to quench your thirst with mineral table water, because it contains salts and minerals that go away when a person sweats. Drink water in small portions.
It is very useful to drink tea on hot days, especially chilled green tea. And if you add lemon balm or mint to the drink, then it will perfectly soothe. Natural freshly squeezed juice is very useful in the heat. It not only quenches thirst, but reduces hunger, saturates the body with vitamins and improves mood. It is advisable to choose not thick juices from oranges and apples.
In addition to drinks, you need to eat right on such days. From meat products it is better to choose lean chicken meat, eat as much fresh vegetables as possible, any greens, as well as fruits and berries. They are very rich in vitamins, trace elements and additional moisture. Heavy broths are best replaced with light summer soups such as okroshka, beetroot or gazpacho.
On hot summer days, cook light meals, do not drink alcohol, drink more in the morning, rather than before bed. Observing these simple rules, you will maintain a great mood throughout the hot period.
