What fruits should you eat in summer, from June to August, to lose weight fastest?

Summer (June, July, August) is the second season of the year and one of the four seasons. Summer is the peak season for fruit, with all kinds of fresh fruit available everywhere. Apart from tasting good, the more important requirement when eating fruit is nutritional value, so what fruits are better to eat in summer? What fruits help you lose weight fastest?

Summer is the season when large quantities of fruit hit the market, but just like people's body constitution, fruits are also divided into cold, hot and neutral types, so it is best to choose according to your constitution and not eat them blindly.

1. Cold and cooling fruits

Common cold and cooling fruits include watermelon, banana, pear, kiwi, dragon fruit, loquat, sugarcane, persimmon, mulberry, orange, water chestnut, kiwifruit and pomelo. Cold and cooling fruits generally have the effects of clearing heat, purging fire or detoxifying, and can be used to treat heat syndromes (fear of heat, dry mouth, constipation, acne). Some people normally have deficient cold in the spleen and stomach and insufficient yang qi. People who often have cold limbs, are averse to cold and prefer warmth, have soreness and weakness in the lower back and knees, and get stomach discomfort, bloating or even diarrhea when food is slightly cold should eat little or no cold and cooling fruit. People with a cold constitution who are prone to diarrhea should not eat too much watermelon, as it easily causes diarrhea. Eating watermelon too late can also cause frequent urination and poor sleep.

2. Warm and hot fruits

Common warm and hot fruits include lychee, longan, durian, bayberry, peach, tangerine, cherry, apricot and longan aril. Warm and hot fruits have the functions of warming the middle, dispelling cold and supporting yang, and can be used to treat cold syndromes (fear of cold, diarrhea, pale complexion). Some people are often troubled by “internal heat” symptoms such as dry mouth, thirst, constipation and sore throat, so they should eat as little warm and hot fruit as possible. Lychee and longan can nourish the blood, but people with a hot constitution should eat less of them, otherwise they easily cause internal heat, leading to difficulty falling asleep and irritability.

3. Neutral fruits

Common neutral fruits in summer include pineapple, papaya, apple and grape. Neutral fruits are neither cold nor hot, and are suitable for people of any constitution. Pineapple is fairly acidic and is not suitable to eat on an empty stomach, and people with gastrointestinal ulcers should not eat much of it before they have fully recovered.
