Food: Refreshing Ingredients to Beat the Heat

No matter the season, for foodies like us, the time of year is just a detail. However, some essential summer ingredients are worth presenting for everyone to try.

Watermelon

Watermelon is the top choice among melons for relieving summer heat and quenching thirst. It is sweet and cold, with effects like relieving summer heat, quenching thirst, and promoting urination. It's known as 'natural white tiger soup.' It's suitable for those suffering from summer heat, thirst, irritability, difficulty urinating, heatstroke, and alcohol-related issues.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes contain a lot of lycopene and various trace elements, which have a good sun protection effect. However, remember not to cook them for too long, as prolonged heating destroys their original nutrients and flavor, making them less fresh.

Cucumbers

Cucumbers are the best summer vegetable for beauty and weight loss. Regular consumption can effectively prevent skin aging and reduce wrinkles, as well as prevent cheilitis and angular cheilitis. According to the 'Compendium of Materia Medica,' cucumbers have the effects of clearing heat, quenching thirst, promoting urination, and reducing swelling, making them suitable for summer consumption. Besides being used as a face mask, cucumbers can be eaten and are quite versatile.

Mung Beans

Mung beans contain proteins and phospholipids that can stimulate the nervous system and increase appetite, making them very suitable for summer consumption. Mung beans are sweet and cold, with effects like clearing the heart, promoting urination, relieving summer heat, quenching thirst, and detoxifying. Eating mung bean porridge in summer is the best way to beat the heat and nourish the stomach.

Bitter Melon

As the saying goes, 'Eating bitter foods in hot weather is better than taking supplements.' Among bitter vegetables, bitter melon is the top choice. It contains rich nutrients and has the effects of relieving summer heat, clearing heat, improving eyesight, and detoxifying. Bitter melon is cold and bitter, with effects like clearing heat, detoxifying, relieving summer heat, improving eyesight, and lowering blood pressure. It can prevent and treat heatstroke, dysentery, and sores.

Boiled Water

Traditional Chinese medicine calls boiled water the 'king of all medicines.' In summer, it's best to add some salt to your boiled water. High temperatures cause excessive sweating, reducing the body's salt levels and disrupting osmotic pressure, leading to heatstroke. Drinking more salted water or salted tea can replenish lost salt and prevent heatstroke. However, it should be mild saltwater and consumed in moderation, as excessive salt intake is not good for the body.

Use: Essential Heat Prevention for Outdoor Activities

Sun Umbrella

A sun umbrella is undoubtedly an essential item for women to beat the summer heat. When choosing an umbrella, those with loosely woven fabric generally have poorer UV protection. Since fabric tends to shrink, it's better to choose a larger umbrella.

Sun Hat

The most intense sunlight is from 10 AM to 3 or 4 PM (though I think it's already quite sunny at 7 AM). A sun hat is very effective in blocking direct sunlight, so it's best to wear one on both sunny and rainy days. When exercising outdoors, always wear a hat, and in cloudy and windy weather, besides a hat, it's also important to...Sunscreen...consider sunscreen as an essential item for sun protection.

Huoxiang Zhengqi Medicine

Huoxiang Zhengqi medicine comes in four forms: water, pills, powder, and soft capsules. Huoxiang Zhengqi water is the cheapest, while the soft capsules are the most expensive, with the oral liquid priced in between. It is effective in preventing and treating heatstroke, as well as treating colds caused by wind-cold and damp-heat. The indications vary.

Huoxiang Zhengqi water is mainly used for diarrhea, abdominal pain, and vomiting caused by summer heat, and it can effectively prevent heatstroke. Huoxiang Zhengqi pills are used to treat gastrointestinal colds, acute gastritis, and acute enteritis caused by external wind-cold and internal dampness. Huoxiang Zhengqi powder is used to treat non-specific acute enteritis and influenza, with symptoms like general discomfort, fever, chills, vomiting, and diarrhea. Huoxiang Zhengqi soft capsules are used to treat damp-heat colds, headaches, chest tightness, abdominal pain, vomiting, and chills. When going for a run or participating in a competition, it's necessary to carry some Huoxiang Zhengqi medicine, especially when in unfamiliar climates.

Essential Balm

Essential balm is made from various herbs like menthol, eucalyptus oil, eugenol, and camphor, which have properties like dispelling wind, removing dampness, promoting blood circulation, reducing swelling, and relieving pain. Applying essential balm to acupoints like the philtrum, temples, and Yintang can prevent heatstroke and colds. So, when going out or exercising in summer, applying some essential balm on your head can prevent heatstroke.

Exercise: Summer Workouts in Moderation

Walking

Walking is the best aerobic exercise in summer, suitable for all ages, times, and places. Just start walking, and you'll be part of the fitness crowd. You can control the speed, whether fast or slow, as you like.

Running

When running in summer, choose times when the sun is less intense. Morning runners can exercise early, preferably before 8 AM. Night runners may not have to worry much about sun protection but should still be mindful of discomfort from stuffiness and ensure proper hydration and rest. If the weather is too hot or rainy, indoor running is a good option. Just enter Codoon and choose 'indoor running' to start easily.

Swimming

For those who fear the heat, swimming is undoubtedly the most comfortable summer exercise. Swimming allows for a 360-degree workout of all body parts and benefits the heart, brain, lungs, and liver. It also promotes body shaping. Just thinking about the cool pool can make you feel refreshed.

Fitness Ball

The fitness ball is a low-intensity exercise that is not limited by space or weather. It can train muscle groups in the chest, abdomen, back, hips, and legs, helping to maintain body balance, improve posture, and prevent sports injuries.

Badminton

Badminton can be played indoors or outdoors. It involves a wide range of movements, and the series of actions like hitting and swinging the racket can exercise all muscles. I personally enjoy playing badminton and have joined the company's badminton club on Codoon. If you're a badminton enthusiast, let's have a match!

 Yoga

How to show off your body beautifully in summer? Practice yoga. Yoga is suitable for all seasons, helping with weight loss and toning loose belly and waist fat, giving you a more attractive body shape. More importantly, yoga is perfect for summer. Listen to soothing music, relax on a yoga mat, feel your breath, and let your mind calm down, making the whole world seem cooler.

While teasing my calendar, I suddenly realized that autumn is just around the corner. But thinking about it, it seems like there are still many days of summer left. It feels like there are 364 days of summer in a year. So, I need to go eat a popsicle to cool down.
