This year's dog days are 10 days from July 15 to July 24, 20 days from July 25 to August 13, and 10 days from August 14 to August 23. Compared to previous years, this year's dog days will be longer and the temperature will be hotter.
So how to clear away heat and get rid of body moisture on dog days? As the saying goes: a bowl of soup is better than noon! There are actually many kinds of soups here, but today we only share 4 health soup dishes, which can not only clear away heat and reduce fire, diuretic and dampness, relieve heat and health, but also replenish water and replenish essential proteins and vitamins for the human body.

2) Broth
If there are babies at home, or the elderly, I actually recommend: beef radish soup. Beef is not only rich in protein, but also rich in amino acids, iron, zinc, and other minerals necessary for the human body. For the elderly who are growing up, or are frail and sickly, it is still very recommended to supplement the deficiency in summer and improve the body's immunity.

Supplement protein, meat or "fish" is the best. Therefore, in the dog days of summer, drink soup to supplement calcium, potassium and protein, in addition to beef soup, of course, there is also "ginger crucian carp soup". As the saying goes: eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, and don't work for doctors to prescribe medicine.
