Please be vegetarian on Monday: eat the "four fires" in the body

When the weather is hot, the fire in the body burns: mouth ulcers, constipation, bloating follow. However, although they are all called fires, the methods of extinguishing the fire are different because of different reasons.

Canker sores:

Eat more mung beans and celery. Mr. Li has a large ulcer in his mouth these days, and he can't eat anything except some porridge, and he is in pain. In fact, mouth ulcers, sore throats and dry throats like him may be caused by eating too many warm foods, such as lychees, longan, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that mouth ulcers are a heartburn, so you should eat less warm food and more cold food, such as bitter gourd, mung beans, celery, etc.

Constipation and bloating:

Drink less cold drinks. The weather was too hot, and Ms. Jiang would eat two or three popsicles every day, but she didn't eat much, but she was always constipated and bloated, and she would get acne. This is actually due to excessive stomach fire caused by eating too many sweets. At this time, you should eat more vegetables rich in fiber and eat less sweets, especially sweet cold drinks. In addition, you may wish to try rock sugar cassia drink: add water to boil with cassia seeds over high heat, simmer for 30 minutes, then add rock sugar and drink.

Dizziness and bad breath:

Don't be too greasy and sour. Xiao Liu has a very bad temper recently, gets angry at every turn, and usually has symptoms such as dizziness, bitter bad breath, and rib swelling and pain. Bad breath is mostly caused by eating too much and not digesting well, which eventually ferments in the stomach. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that bad breath is a typical manifestation of excessive liver fire, so it is necessary to stay away from too greasy, too acidic, fried foods and chili peppers in the diet.

The spleen and stomach are on fire:

Drink more lotus seed white fungus soup. Every summer, the street food stalls are Mr. Wang's canteen, and draft beer, skewers, and spicy hot pots have become common dinners. But after a long time, I felt weak, dizzy, and uncomfortable in my stomach. This is a typical spleen and stomach fire. To reduce the fire of the spleen and stomach, first of all, you should not overeat, and the diet should pay attention to balance and lightness. Secondly, try not to eat and drink a lot before going to bed, let alone eat irritating food, and try to go to bed before 11 p.m. Finally, drink plenty of water, at least 6 glasses a day, about 1500 ml of water. You can drink more lotus seed soup to warm the lungs and qi, plus white fungus to nourish yin and reduce fire, which will also be very helpful.
