In the summer, with hot weather easily causing dehydration and metabolic disorders, choosing the right foods to help control blood fat is necessary.
According to research by the World Health Organization, some foods should be prioritized in the summer to effectively support blood fat reduction. Housewives can refer to it to include in their family diet.
First of all, green vegetables and fresh fruits rich in soluble fiber are the top choice. Research shows that soluble fiber has the ability to bind to bad cholesterol (LDL) in the intestines and excrete it, thereby reducing LDL levels in the blood. Some foods that should be supplemented in the summer include: Cucumbers, lettuce, celery, avocado, apples and berries such as blueberries, raspberries. In addition, watermelon, a popular summer fruit, contains citrulline, which helps lower blood pressure and supports blood circulation.
Next are fatty fish such as salmon and mackerel containing a lot of omega-3 fatty acids, which are also recommended to be consumed twice a week to reduce triglycerides and increase good cholesterol. In the summer, steamed, rolled or grilled fish is an ideal choice instead of fried dishes with a lot of fat.
In particular, drinking enough water, especially herbal drinks such as green tea, roasted black bean water or lotus leaf water, also helps purify the body and supports fat metabolism. Research shows that polyphenols in green tea can reduce LDL cholesterol by up to 10% after 8 weeks of regular use.
Thus, housewives should prepare a diet rich in green vegetables, fruits rich in fiber, fatty fish and herbal water. Because these foods are not only suitable for the summer climate but are also a natural "key" to controlling blood lipids and protecting long-term cardiovascular health.
