We have already talked on other occasions about the importance of eating seasonal ingredients. Given the temperatures that mark summer and the beginning of the rainy season, there are foods that hydrate and refresh us. Combining these ingredients we can have simple, creative preparations, full of color and nutrient supply.
Some fruits to highlight during this time are melon, watermelon, strawberry, peach, pear, plum, mango, mamey and figs; also highlighting the pomegranate. So I suggest you prepare “cold soups” with some of these fruits. Even the avocado. If you have never tried a “cold avocado or strawberry soup”, get down to work! You will love it!
Some chiles such as the “poblano”, eggplant, green beans, pumpkin, corn (which fortunately in our beautiful and beloved Mexico is consumed all year round), peppers, radishes, nopales, spinach, watercress, cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, among others. others. All of them will provide us with vitamin A, C, magnesium and potassium.
Remember to incorporate raw vegetables every day, these will help you improve your digestion and your body will be able to better absorb the nutrients it needs.
In times of great heat, it is advisable to opt for light food, grilled or steamed foods, consume little salt and sugar, small portions, water at room temperature or lukewarm; do not exaggerate the cold, this alters the body temperature. It is very important to comment that you avoid foods that have not been well cooked or have not maintained a correct handling as far as the refrigeration chain is concerned. At this time it is very common to suffer from a bacterial infection.
