"Why is it still hot?" Foods to overcome the late summer heat, eat them like this!

It feels like summer in autumn. Even though the White Dew (7th), when white dew falls, has long passed, the scorching heat with daytime temperatures approaching 35°C continues to dominate. These days, it is common to feel fatigued, lose appetite, and even motivation.

Pain may also be added to the mix. Based on information from American health and medical media outlets such as 'Prevention,' we explored ways to endure the remaining heat and welcome a healthy autumn, as well as foods that can help during this time.

 

☆☆How to overcome the final heat wave

 

☆Sleep well

One of the causes of increased fatigue during hot weather is the disruption of the body's biological rhythm caused by changes in regular lifestyle habits such as sleep cycles and hormonal systems. In such cases, sleeping for long hours out of fatigue can actually disturb the biological rhythm further and worsen fatigue, so it is recommended to maintain 7 to 8 hours of sleep per day.

 

☆Stretching

Stretching helps alleviate accumulated fatigue. It is better to do it in several small sessions so that excessive weight or impact is not placed on the joints. Avoid strenuous movements and keep the body relaxed. If you feel tired or dizzy while stretching, stop exercising and resume after symptoms have subsided.

 

☆Warm bath, alternating with cold water

Many people complain of spinal fatigue syndrome, which is caused by accumulated fatigue in the spine, after a difficult summer. Usually, they experience aching all over the body, with pain in the neck, shoulders, and lower back. During such times, enjoying cold and hot baths can help relieve the pain. It is recommended to take a hot bath in water around 40°C for 10 to 15 minutes, followed by a cold bath for about 1 to 2 minutes, and repeat this process 2 to 3 times.

 

☆Walking exercise

Walking stimulates the soles of the feet, promotes overall blood circulation, and helps straighten stiffened spines. Walking in the sunlight also increases the blood levels of serotonin, known as the happiness hormone, which helps to improve feelings of depression and lethargy. It is recommended to walk for about 30 minutes at a slightly brisk pace.

 

☆☆ Foods that are good to eat these days

During times like these, feelings of helplessness and fatigue can be accompanied by insomnia or depression. To reduce these symptoms, it is advisable to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables that stimulate sluggish metabolism and help restore biological rhythms.

 

☆Cucumber

One cucumber can be the best food to restore vitality throughout the body. While cucumbers are well known for facial massages, they also help maintain the body's water balance and boost sluggish metabolism during vacations.

 

☆Pomegranate

Pomegranates are rich in ellagic acid. The plant polyphenol ellagic acid not only prevents viruses and mutations and helps prevent various cancers, but also has the effect of protecting skin cells from damage caused by ultraviolet rays.

 

☆Plum

If you feel fatigue and lethargy due to the humid weather, try eating plums. The abundant organic acids in plums affect the brain's appetite center, stimulating your appetite and alleviating fatigue. Additionally, they are rich in vitamin A and C, which protect sunburned skin and help relieve stress.

 

 

☆Tomato

Most people feel fatigue and stress due to the ongoing heatwave. As a result, their immune system weakens, which can lead to stomatitis, an inflammation of the mouth. In such cases, try eating tomatoes. Tomatoes are rich in vitamin B complex, which is often lacking in other vegetables and fruits, helping to replenish vitamin B that gets depleted under stress. Additionally, tomatoes have the ability to reduce skin damage caused by sunlight. They are rich in the antioxidant lycopene, which is highly effective in protecting the skin from ultraviolet rays.
