On hot days, many gourmets make their diet more “vegetable” and “fruity”.

In many cases, this decision is correct.

Refreshing food helps the body in high temperatures.

But there are vegetables that, on the contrary, are a nuisance in the heat.

Onions and garlic are good examples.

Why You Shouldn't Eat Onions and Garlic During Hot Weather

Bad news for lovers of spicy vegetables: such food can worsen a person's condition in hot weather.

The reason is simple: as a result of eating onions and garlic, the body “heats up”, body temperature rises, and sweating increases.

The body loses water, increasing the risk of dehydration and a sharp deterioration in health in stuffy conditions.

This is why it is advisable to avoid eating onions and garlic on hot summer days.

For the same reason, in the heat, you should not add a lot of salt to your food. Excessive amounts of hot spices can also be harmful to the body.
