Greetings, this is Brother Qiu talking about delicious food, sharing homely dishes every day. Tomorrow will be the beginning of the hottest time of the year, indicating that the heat will peak and temperatures will rise. Therefore, during this time, to combat the hot weather, our bodies will increase metabolism by sweating regularly, detoxifying and staying healthy to easily pass the summer. As our metabolism speeds up, our need for nutrients also increases. Therefore, entering the hottest time, it’s recommended to supplement nutrition appropriately to have enough energy to resist the scorching summer days. This is why elders often say, “If you don’t supplement during the hottest time, you’ll suffer during the dog days”. So, as we enter this period, I suggest timely supplementation. Eight delicious dishes matching the season can be enjoyed to replenish nutrients, easy to digest, and help us smoothly pass the hottest days. Next, I’ll share the recipes of these eight dishes. If you like, join me in learning.
