Introduction: Getting "heatiness" (internal heat) can easily lead to constipation, and the solution is very simple: just eat some cooling fruits and vegetables. Don't be skeptical, the following 4 types of food can effectively reduce heatiness and promote bowel movements. Everyone should also develop good eating habits.
I: Olive Oil, Soy Sauce
Castor oil, vegetable oil, etc., have long been used to treat constipation, among which olive oil is the most beneficial for the body. Soybeans are known as "beef that grows in the fields," and Koreans often use soybeans to make various sauces. The original dietary fiber in soybeans becomes softer, and more beneficial bacteria are produced during the fermentation process, all of which can effectively help with digestion. So, we might as well eat more fermented soybean products in the summer, such as fried bean sauce, yellow soybean paste, and sweet noodle sauce. You can eat it with noodles, pancakes, or steamed buns, or you can dip vegetables directly in it.

IV: Whole Grains, Lotus Root
The fiber contained in coarse grains like brown rice is 3 to 4 times that of regular white rice. Therefore, if you want to prevent or improve recent constipation, you can focus on eating coarse grains as your staple, such as coix seed porridge or barley porridge. Lotus root is also a type of root vegetable, and in the summer, you can choose to make lotus root porridge. Chop old lotus root and cook it with rice until the porridge is thick and the lotus root is soft. You can add a little sugar when eating. It can also be eaten as a salad, for example, Radish and Lotus Root Salad. Cut red and white radishes into 3 cm long strips, soften them with a small spoonful of salt, then mix with thinly sliced lotus root, red and white radishes, and seasonings. Garnish with a little chopped red pepper and it tastes best after marinating for 4 hours.
