Under the scorching sunlight in summer, the leaves are bright, the road is very hot, and everyone is drowsy. This is my chance to show off my perfect body in a small skirt with a small waist and hips. But in the hot summer sun, she may have accidentally changed her style of painting, and the little girl immediately became a grilled fish on a hot pot~tanned and sunburned. With the advent of the dog days, the sun is really getting more and more poisonous, but many sisters have the same habit: they don’t like to use umbrellas before they can make up for sun protection....

How to do? Whitening skin can actually be eaten.

How can I not get tanned in summer? Eat it every day. One summer has passed, and you are twice as whiter than others when talking about sun protection. Tomatoes are definitely a well-deserved sun protection champion. The antioxidant lycopene in tomatoes has a variety of sun protection effects. If you don't like tomatoes very much, choosing ketchup can also significantly reduce the risk of sunburn on your skin.

But Meimei neither likes tomatoes nor ketchup, so I choose cucumbers for sun protection. Cucumbers are summer vegetables. They are very refreshing to eat. The fruit acids contained in them can clean and whiten the skin and eliminate sunburn and freckles. At the same time, it can reduce the skin's light sensitivity. If you get sunburned, applying sliced cucumber to the noodles is a classic formula for skin whitening. Cucumbers are very cheap in summer, so you might as well buy more.

In order to not be too monotonous to eat cucumbers every day, I added meatballs made with dragon fruit. The reason why I chose dragon fruit is that dragon fruit is rich in vitamin C, which can eliminate oxygen free radicals and has the effect of whitening skin. Iron is particularly rich, and women use it to replenish blood during weight loss. Dragon fruit and cucumber are both very low-calorie foods. This combination can not only be used as a meal replacement for weight loss, but also can better exert the effect of weight loss. , It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Don't miss the beauty-loving brothers and sisters.

Dragon Fruit Meatballs with Cucumber recipe

2. After peeling the dragon fruit, press it into a puree with a spoon, pour in the tapioca starch in portions, and form a dry and wet dough for later use.

3. Take a small portion of the dough, knead it into a strip on the chopping board, and cut it into small pieces with a spatula.

4. It’s all done. I like to make more of them at once, freeze them in the refrigerator, and cook them as you eat them. It’s very convenient.

5. After the cucumber is cleaned, cut into quarters, beat loose with a knife, and cut into cubes the same size as dragon fruit cubes for later use.

6. Bring a pot of water to a boil, pour the dragon fruit balls into a pot of boiling water and cook until the balls float on the surface of the water, and their volume increases significantly, indicating that the balls are fully cooked.

7. The cooked dragon fruit balls are crystal clear, and the QQ ones are particularly beautiful. You can eat them hot or cold.

8. Today I used it to make cold dishes, so I put it in cold water after cooking.

9. Pour the processed dragon fruit balls into a basin together with the diced cucumber. Add light soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, small red oil and some salt.

10. Mix well and put it in the refrigerator for a while. It is refreshing and appetizing, especially delicious.

Tips:
In summer, you should eat less photosensitive vegetables as much as possible. Celery, lettuce, rape, spinach, coriander, Chinese cabbage, mustard, white radish and other vegetables contain photosensitizing substances. Sunburn may appear on the skin immediately after eating.
In addition to eating more dark green vegetables, in terms of staple food, try to eat as many whole-grain foods as possible for the best sun protection effect. The rich vitamin B can effectively improve the skin's resistance to sunlight and reduce pigmentation. Moreover, whole wheat is a crude fiber food, which has the effect of removing toxins accumulated in the body and can reduce the formation of dark spots.
In summer, you should eat more watermelon and drink lemon juice. The amino acids in watermelon juice can be quickly absorbed by the skin and effective sun protection. The vitamin C in lemon is a baby in the sunscreen family, which can interfere with the biosynthesis of melanin, shrink pores and soften the stratum corneum. Similar effects are oranges, kiwis and strawberries.
Be fully prepared for your diet, this summer, you will definitely be twice as white as others!
