【推荐3】What’s the best thing to eat on a hot summer day? Many people would say ice-cream. Yes, eating ice-cream with some fruit on top is a great way to cool us down. But think before you eat. If your body is hot from playing sports, it’s not the best time to eat ice-cream.

When your body is hot, a lot of ice-cream may give your stomach some problems, and you could get diarrhea (腹泻). You can eat some ice-cream after you’ve cooled down a bit and had some tea. Just try not to eat too much all at once!

After dinner is another time people shouldn’t eat or drink anything cold. Drink something hot after you eat, and your stomach will digest your food better. If you love fruit, summer is a great time for you. Go to the market and pick out the best fruit of the season. If you want to stay cool, oranges, bananas, pears and watermelons can help. Also, try to eat more ginger (姜) and gram (绿豆). They will help you stay cool and healthy.

In summer, bacteria (细菌) grow very fast and make your food go bad quickly. Try hard to keep yourself and your home clean in summer. Always eat clean, fresh food. When you feel like eating a cold dish, put vinegar (醋) in it to kill bacteria. If you can’t finish your food and want to eat it again next day, make sure you heat it enough to kill the bacteria in it. And when you put food in the fridge, make sure to keep the cooked food away from the uncooked food.

Stay healthy this summer, and enjoy a nice treat now and then.
