When we talk about dog days, we always think of heat, humidity, and sweat.
In this kind of weather, the body sweats a lot and exerts a lot of physical strength, and many people think that they need "tonic" to strengthen their physique.
However, dog days are not as simple as winter, and eating the wrong food will not only not enhance your physique, but will make you sick and even hospitalized.
In the dog days of high temperatures, the human digestive system is actually relatively fragile, and excessive tonic will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines. Especially those nutritious foods, if eaten incorrectly, can be counterproductive.
In order to facilitate everyone's understanding, we can analyze it in combination with specific stories, suppose there is a middle-aged uncle who especially likes to eat braised pork. Every dog day, he would stew a pot of braised pork, thinking that it would replenish his strength.

As a result, one day, he was admitted to the hospital with stomach pain and vomiting. After examination, the doctor told him that it was because he had eaten too much high-fat food in the hot weather, which caused the gastrointestinal tract to be overburdened and developed acute gastroenteritis.
In view of the example just given, from a medical point of view, the digestive function of the human body is relatively weak in hot weather, and the intake of too much high-fat, high-protein food will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, leading to indigestion and gastrointestinal inflammation.
According to a study published in the Journal of Gastroenterology, there was a significant increase in cases of acute gastroenteritis due to poor diet during dog days, especially in those who consumed excessive amounts of high-fat foods.
Not only that, but the dog day diet also needs to be balanced and moderate.
As another example, there is a young woman who is particularly fond of eating chilled watermelon and drinking ice-cold drinks. Every dog day, she eats a lot of these raw and cold foods.
As a result, one day, she was admitted to the hospital with abdominal pain and diarrhea. After examination, the doctor told her that it was because she had ingested too much raw and cold food, which caused gastrointestinal dysfunction and acute diarrhea.
In view of the example just now, from a medical point of view, raw and cold food has greater irritation to the gastrointestinal tract, especially in hot weather, the gastrointestinal function is already relatively fragile, and excessive intake of raw and cold food will lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction and diarrhea and other symptoms.
According to a study in the Journal of Nutrition, there was a significant increase in cases of gastrointestinal disorders caused by excessive consumption of raw and cold foods during dog days, especially among those who consumed ice-cold beverages and ice-cold foods for a long time.
In addition, the dog day diet should also be varied and balanced. Many people think that just eating some "nutritious" foods can ensure health, however, excess nutrition can also cause a burden on the body. Especially those foods that are high in sugar, salt, and oil, excessive intake not only cannot enhance physical fitness, but will increase the burden on the body, leading to obesity, high blood pressure, high blood lipids and other health problems.
For the sake of understanding, we can analyze it in conjunction with specific stories, suppose there is a female college student who is particularly fond of eating all kinds of sweets and high-fat snacks.
Every dog day, she buys a lot of high-sugar and high-fat foods such as ice cream and cream cakes, believing that these can replenish energy.
As a result, one day, she was admitted to the hospital because of dizziness and tiredness. After the examination, the doctor told her that it was because she had consumed too much high-sugar and high-fat food, which caused her blood sugar and blood lipids to rise, and she had symptoms of high blood lipids and low blood sugar.
In view of the example just now, from a medical point of view, although foods high in sugar, fat and salt can provide energy in a short period of time, excessive intake will increase the burden on the body and lead to a series of health problems.
According to a study in the Journal of the United States College of Cardiology, excessive intake of high-sugar, high-fat, high-salt foods can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, especially in hot weather, the body's metabolic function is weaker, and it is more likely to cause health problems.
So, how exactly should you eat on dog days?
In order to facilitate everyone's understanding, we can analyze it in combination with specific stories, assuming that there is an old grandmother:
In response to the example above, from a medical point of view, a light, balanced, and moderate diet is the key to staying healthy during dog days. Fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals that help boost the immune system, promote digestion and detoxification.
According to a study in the Journal of Nutrition, moderate supplementation of protein and dietary fiber can improve the body's metabolic function and prevent various diseases.
Through these scientific dietary adjustments, we can better adapt to the hot weather on dog days, maintain good health, and avoid health problems caused by improper diet. I hope that everyone can formulate a healthy diet plan suitable for themselves according to their own situation in their daily life, scientifically respond to various health challenges, and enjoy a healthy and happy summer.
So, the question arises: in addition to eating habits, what other ways can we stay healthy on dog days in our daily lives?
First of all, moderate exercise is an important way to stay healthy.
Exercising a moderate amount of exercise every day can promote blood circulation, enhance physical fitness, and help the body flush out toxins.
Especially in hot weather, moderate exercise can help us adapt to high temperatures and enhance the body's ability to withstand heat. Secondly, maintaining a good routine is also an important way to stay healthy.
Regular work and rest and avoiding staying up late can help us maintain sufficient energy and good immune system function.
Finally, it's also important to maintain mental health. Hot weather can easily make people irritable, but maintaining a positive mindset and a good mood can help us better cope with various health challenges.
Through these comprehensive measures, we can better adapt to the hot weather on dog days, maintain good health, and enjoy a healthy and enjoyable summer.
Conclusion - Those foods that are high in sugar, salt, and oil, excessive intake not only cannot enhance physical fitness, but will increase the burden on the body, leading to obesity, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia and other health problems.
I hope that everyone can formulate healthy living habits suitable for themselves according to their own conditions in their daily life, scientifically respond to various health challenges, and enjoy a healthy and happy summer.
