According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the human body is a balanced organic whole, and the root of weakness is the imbalance of yin and yang. The essence of body cold is the excess of yin and yang in the body, which leads to the imbalance of yin and yang. Specific manifestations: viscera droop, digestion and absorption of nutrients are weakened, so that the body's absorption of heat is reduced and the body is cold. I don't drink water often and I don't feel thirsty. I often feel weak and easily tired. Pale face, pale lips, cold, cold hands and feet, like to drink hot drinks, eat hot food, often have loose bowels, often urinate, pale face, often late confinement, more blood clots, red tongue.

Exercise your waist, legs and feet regularly. Exercise can make your blood circulation better. For daily life, we can adapt to local conditions.

Morning is the beginning of the day, and the physiological function of the human body has just begun to flourish. Don't eat cold food to calm down. Drink less beer at night because beer is cold. If you drink it in your stomach, the central nervous system will transmit cold information to your spine, which is easy to cause backache.

People of all physiques should choose the fruit that suits them. Here is a brief introduction:

After eating, the phosphorylation of glucose in the liver is accelerated, the synthesis of liver sugar is increased, the ratio of insulin to furosemide is increased, the synthesis of fatty acids is improved, and the synthesis of triglycerides is also improved. When the liver is full of fat and sugar to be sent out, it is easy to get angry, and the body energy increases, so it is "hot". Warm fruits are: jujube, chestnut, peach, apricot, longan, litchi, cherry, pomegranate, pineapple and so on. People with a hot constitution should eat this fruit in moderation.
