During the hottest days of summer, when it’s humid and hard to bear, it’s better to eat this than meat. Moisturizing and relieving dryness, diuretic and reducing swelling, suitable for both young and old!
As the intense sun lingers, the clear breeze is nowhere to be found. It’s the time of “great heat,” where the weather remains relentlessly hot. Even the wind blowing towards your face is warm. We often hide indoors, watching as the sun blazes down and storms rage, alternating between intense heat and moisture, making the summer unbearable. In such an environment, the younger adults who need to go out to work tend to sweat a lot due to the hot weather, leading to a faster metabolism and loss of nutrients. Therefore, timely nutrient replenishment is necessary. For the middle-aged and elderly, such weather conditions can cause overall weakness, loss of appetite, and other issues, making it important to pay attention to body care. Particularly in terms of diet, careful planning is essential to maintain a light and nutritious balance. Therefore, paying attention to nutrient replenishment during the hottest days of summer is something that no one should ignore.
Speaking of nutrient replenishment, people often think of eating meat first. However, during the hot summer days, apart from lean meat, other greasy meat varieties may not be appealing. Instead, vegetables are more attractive, luckily, there are many seasonal vegetables in summer that are beneficial to us, such as the familiar zucchini. Although zucchini is a vegetable, it is extremely nutritious, rich in water content, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, carotenoids, various vitamins, and trace elements. It has moisturizing and skin-softening properties, diuretic and anti-inflammatory benefits, boosts immunity, prevents colds, and has anti-tumor effects. Regular consumption of zucchini can promote metabolism, eliminate toxins from the body, absorb trace elements, and increase bone density. Therefore, zucchini is a food suitable for both young and old.
Zucchini can be stir-fried, cold-mixed, or used as a filling, all of which are delicious. In my home, after buying zucchini, we often pair it with eggs for stir-frying. Eggs are also very nutritious and comprehensive, rich in proteins, lecithin, as well as nutrients like calcium and iron. Regular consumption can promote muscle strength and bone health, and enhance immunity. Stir-frying them together not only ensures a balanced diet but also creates a tasty dish. Below are the detailed steps to follow.
