In the middle of the day, many people feel more tired than before, perhaps because of the heat of nearly 30 degrees Celsius. In fact, due to the high temperature in summer, the body's metabolism is faster than usual and the physical consumption is increased, requiring higher immunity than other seasons. At this time, if you do not take proper health care, you are easily exposed to chronic fatigue, as well as summer diseases such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, exhaustion, and air-conditioning disease caused by food. This is why we need to pay more attention to our health now that we are on the threshold of summer.

Around this time, many people visit summer health foods, and health foods such as samgyetang and boshintang, which are common in summer, are high-calorie foods, and the actual calories of a bowl of samgyetang are 900 to 1,000 kcal. It is nearly half of the recommended daily intake of calories for adults.

In the past, when I was farming, I used to consume a lot of physical strength and ate something like this on purpose because it was precious to eat, but this is not necessarily the case today. Rather than relying too much on health food, try to maintain your physical strength by exercising regularly, avoiding the sun's strongest between noon and 1 p.m. In addition, you can get help in summer health care just by eating health functional foods that can increase immunity.
