In summer, when the sun is shining and the temperature is gradually rising, people's eating habits need to be adjusted accordingly. There are many points to eat and maintain in summer, the first of which is to be light and easy to digest. The burden on the human digestive system increases under high temperatures, so the diet should be light and avoid greasy and heavy food, so as not to increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.
Secondly, we should pay attention to hydration and prevent heatstroke. In summer, the climate is hot, the human body is prone to sweating, and water loss is faster, so it is necessary to drink more water or drink some cool and thirst-quenching drinks to maintain the water balance in the body. In addition, eat more foods rich in vitamin C, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, etc., which can help strengthen immunity and ward off colds, infections and other diseases that are prone to occur in summer. In the summer, it is especially important to eat less meat and eat more of an ingredient, which is not only affordable, but also nutritious and easy to digest.
In these summer diet and health points, tofu skin just meets the characteristics of light and easy to digest, and at the same time has rich nutrients. Tofu skin, a by-product of the tofu making process, is extremely high in protein and rich in beneficial ingredients such as soy isoflavones, which help regulate estrogen levels in the body. In addition, tofu skin is also rich in dietary fiber, which helps to promote intestinal peristalsis and prevent intestinal problems such as constipation.
