If you suffer from internal heat, you should eat more "bitter" food, because bitter food is the natural enemy of "fire"! The best bitter food to clear away heat and detoxify is bitter melon. It can be eaten cold, stir-fried, or cooked in soup. It is best if it is stir-fried without losing its "greenness" and is cooked well. Alternatively, you can wash the bitter melon, add some salt and sesame oil and eat it cold. This will not destroy the nutritional content of the bitter melon itself. You can also cut bitter melon into slices to make tea or squeeze out the juice to drink. Drinking raw bitter melon juice can make the body quickly absorb a large amount of the active ingredients of bitter melon. In order to make bitter melon less bitter, you can soak it in salt water before eating. This can remove some of the bitter taste and also remove some of the oxalic acid in bitter melon, so as not to hinder the absorption of calcium in food. In addition to bitter melon, there are other bitter foods worth recommending, such as almonds, bitter herbs, kudingcha, celery, tartary buckwheat, kale, nasturtium, etc. Add water decoction to fresh celery leaves, or blanch fresh celery in boiling water and squeeze out the juice. It can also clear away heat and relieve heat after eating. In addition to eating more bitter foods, there are more fruits and vegetables in spring. You should also eat more sweet and refreshing fresh fruits and fresh vegetables. Cabbage, cauliflower, watermelon, hawthorn, apples, grapes, etc. are rich in minerals, especially calcium, magnesium, and silicon. They have magical effects of calming the mind and reducing fire, so you should eat these foods frequently in spring. Generally speaking, cold fruits include: watermelon, pear, grapefruit, pomelo, coconut, orange, hard persimmon, mangosteen, and tomato. Hot fruits include: longan, lychee, mango, and durian. Flat fruits include: guava, apples, grapes, oranges, papayas, strawberries, cherries, and mulberries. When you feel unwell or have a cold, you should eat less cold and hot fruits. At this time, you can eat more neutral fruits. People with hot and dry constitutions should eat more fruits with a cold nature such as pears, bananas, and watermelons.
