Clear fire and relieve summer heat——Sprite Bitter Melon

Overview

Since the beginning of the summer, the weather has been sultry, humid, very unpleasant, and appetite has been greatly reduced, so it is necessary to eat some fire-clearing foods. Bitter melon deserves to be the first choice. It is the best food to clear away the heat in summer, remove internal fire, and help improve irritability. Bitter foods are the natural enemies of fire. The reason why bitter foods are bitter is that they contain bitter substances such as alkaloids and ureas. Traditional Chinese medicine research has found that these bitter substances have the effect of antipyretic, heat-relieving and fatigue-relieving effects. The best bitter food is bitter melon. Whether it is cold, stir-fried or soup, as long as the bitter melon is cooked without losing its green color, the purpose of removing internal heat can be achieved. In addition to bitter melon, there are other bitter foods that also have good heat-removing effects, such as almonds, bitter herbs, Kudingcha, celery, kale, etc., which can also clear away heat and relieve summer heat.
