According to information from the Ho Chi Minh City Nutrition Research Institute, in hot weather, the body often sweats a lot to cool down, causing loss of water and minerals. With such weather conditions, people need a reasonable diet to ensure health, while also replenishing water and minerals for the body.
During the hot season, nutritional principles revolve around ensuring adequate nutrition, a balanced and varied diet, limiting fat, increasing fresh fruit, and drinking plenty of water.
Besides supplementing carbohydrates (rice, vermicelli, rice paper, bread), protein (meat, fish, chicken, eggs, beans), we need to supplement vitamins and minerals (vegetables and fruits) to provide fiber, vitamin C - B1 - B2, calcium, iron...
A balanced and properly prepared diet not only makes meals more delicious, but also helps protect and improve health.
