【Summer heat fatigue elimination!】Colorful and fresh♪ How to make cold pork salad

Summer in Japan is very hot.
It exceeds 20 degrees C after May and often exceeds 30 degrees C, but it reaches nearly 40 degrees C in July to August.

When spending every day in such summer heat, most of the Japanese become “summer heat fatigue”.
Symptoms include decreased appetite, general malaise, and lack of energy. In addition, it is said that the cause is a temperature difference between indoors and outdoors and weakness of the gastrointestinal tract.

Famous measures against such a summer heat fatigue include avoiding being in the hot sun for a long time, keeping the room temperature at an appropriate temperature, and hydrating, but one of the measures is to cool the body eating summes vegetables.

Summer vegetables are said to cool the body, and cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes and okra are among them.
Today I use tomato and okra.
Vivid colors such as green, purple and red!
In addition, pork rich in vitamin B1 is also effective in relieving fatigue.
Grapefruit and lemon add sourness.

Take enough nourish and survive this summer!
