Products worth choosing in summer
Table of Contents
1. A change in dietary preferences
Although the recommendations on the body's nutrient requirements and the recommended diet are the same throughout the year, the results of scientific studies show some changes in nutritional preferences depending on the time of year. They indicate that some products are more likely to be consumed in the summer months. Fresh fruits and vegetables (e.g. lettuce, tomatoes, melons, berries), non-alcoholic beverages and beverage; red meat, nuts and legumes are selected less frequently than in the autumn months (R. Aparicio-Ugarriza and L. L. and E. J. van der Jens; J. Z. Z., 2016 and Z. Jens); this may be related to the specific conditions of the preparation of these products during the summer, but it is worth noting that these products are available in the winter months.2. The seasonality of the products
Late spring and summer is the time when most fruits and vegetables ripen and some of them are available for only a few weeks. Below are selected seasonal fruits and veggies, along with the harvest periods (and the availability of fresh produce). Vegetables: baked beans (June), boots (May), ?? beans, sugar cane (May) and beans only available for a couple of weeks. Beans are selected with seasonal varieties of corn (Floridaceae) and fresh produce available. The vegetables are available from many local shops, such as the Food and Beverage Centre for Agriculture (Center for Agricultural Research), the Food & Rural Affairs (Centre for Food and Rural Development), the Farmer's Market (Central European Food and Agriculture), the International Food Safety Organization (IFAC), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the World Food Safety Council (FOMC), and the European Union (Food and Agricultural Organization) and the Food Safety Organisation (FAO).3. It's a light meal
With the onset of heat, taste preferences usually change as well. Danish soups that have been heated in autumn and winter thick cream soups, broths or golas become too heavy, and their high temperature causes sweating and a subjective sensation of heat. There may also be a decrease in appetite and a reduced feeling of hunger.4. Fresh herbs
Summer is not only a season for fruits and vegetables, but also for fresh herbs. It is a good idea to create a small garden on a balcony or a part of the garden where you will find your favorite herbs: basil, mint, oregano, thyme, rosemary, spinach, pickled peppers, pickles, pepper, lettuce, melissa and other. Their taste varies during summer meals. They can be used on a regular basis as a spice or as a food additive, as a base for preparing seasonings or additives to water. The rest of the herb is worth drying and leaving for use in the summer months.5. Hydration
According to the nutritional standards of the Polish population, women's fluid demand is about 2000 ml, whereas men's is about 2500 ml. However, it should be remembered that in some situations it is higher, e.g. with increased physical activity or during heatwaves, when the amount of water and electrolytes (i.e. salt, chlorine or potassium) lost in the skin also increases.6. What products not to choose in the summer?
Therefore, hot foods and products (e.g. thick soups and foods with the addition of chili, ginger or turmeric) can increase the sensation of hotness. However, during the summer months it is an alternative to holidays and trips. It is also worth noting the principles of acidic foods and cream-based fatty sauces, which on hot days can increase drowsiness and are also more prone to spoilage. In addition, summer is a good time to reduce meat consumption and experiment with vegetable cuisine.7. Is it even summer time to lose weight?
Summer is a good time to make changes to reduce your body's caloric balance, which is one way to generate a negative balance of calories. In summer, there is often a temporary reduction in appetite; however, it is worth noting that at present there are differences in body energy consumption depending on the amount of fat consumed during the year, and that throughout the year there is a similar level of body fat consumption. It is also possible to overcome some of the previously observed physical and physical conditions. In order to ensure that the number of people who have lost weight and energy consumption is less than normal, it should be taken into account that there are a number of factors that have been studied (e.g. weight loss, weight loss and weight loss).
