The nature of food refers to the "four properties", namely cold, hot, warm and cool. Coolness and coldness, warmth and heat have certain similarities in their functions. There is only a slight difference in the size of the effect. In addition, some foods have mild eating properties, which are called balanced properties. Foods that can reduce or eliminate heat syndrome are of cold-cooling nature; foods that can reduce or eliminate cold syndrome are of warm-heat nature. It is generally believed that most cold and cool foods have the effects of clearing away heat, purging fire, and detoxifying, and are often used for febrile diseases. Most of the warm and hot foods have the functions of warming the body, supporting yang, and dispersing cold, and are often used for cold diseases. Food with neutral properties has the functions of strengthening the spleen, appetizing, and replenishing the body.
Warming foods include: ginger, scallions, coriander, which are suitable for symptoms such as colds, fever, aversion to cold, runny nose, headaches, etc.; dry foods suitable for abdominal pain, vomiting, and preference for hot drinks.

Cold foods include: millet, mung beans, kelp, mung bean sprouts, bitter melon, tomatoes, cucumbers, bananas, watermelons, melons, etc.
1. Alkaline foods
Alkaline foods contain more metal elements such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. It does not mean that something with a sour taste is a sour food. You should know one thing: all sour fruits and soy products are alkaline foods rather than acidic foods. Alkaline foods are considered to be foods with beauty effects.
Tofu, milk, celery, potatoes, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, carrots, kelp, mung beans, bananas, watermelons, strawberries, etc. and most vegetables and fruits are alkaline.
The "acidity and alkalinity" of food will affect body posture and skin fitness.
It has been determined that weakly alkaline foods include: tofu, peas, soybeans, mung beans, rape, celery, sweet potatoes, lotus roots, onions, eggplants, pumpkins, cucumbers, mushrooms, radishes, milk, etc. Alkaline foods include: spinach, cabbage, cabbage, lettuce, carrots, bamboo shoots, potatoes, kelp, citrus, watermelon, grapes, bananas, strawberries, millet, persimmons, coffee, wine, etc. There are also some foods that taste sour, so people mistakenly regard them as acidic foods, such as wild plants, tomatoes, vinegar, etc. In fact, these foods are typical alkaline foods.
Eat more alkaline foods. Studies have found that eating more alkaline foods can keep the blood weakly alkaline, reduce acidic substances such as lactic acid and urea in the blood, and prevent them from depositing on the wall of the blood vessels, thus softening the blood vessels, so some people call it alkaline. Food is a "cleanser of blood and blood vessels." The acidity and alkalinity mentioned here is not the nature of the food itself, but the nature of the elements left in the body after the food is digested and absorbed. Common acidic elements include nitrogen, carbon, sulfur, etc.; common alkaline elements include potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, etc. Some foods have a very sour taste, such as tomatoes and oranges, but they are all highly alkaline foods, because the final element they metabolize in the body is potassium.
2. Acidic foods
Acidic foods refer to inorganic salts such as phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine and other elements that can form acids in the human body, which can make body fluids acidic. Common foods include protein-rich meat, fish, poultry, eggs, cereals, and hard fruits such as peanuts, hazelnuts, and walnuts. Specific examples include: pork, beef, chicken, egg yolk, carp, eel, dried squid, shrimp, rice, flour, bread, barley, beer, asparagus, etc. Although your body lacks acidic foods, you should not blindly supplement them, because medical science has proven that when we eat a large amount of acidic foods containing chlorine, sulfur, phosphorus and other acidic foods, it is extremely difficult for the blood to maintain a weak alkaline state, and acidosis is prone to occur. disease.
The so-called "warm" foods refer to onions, leeks, cabbage and other foods that can warm the body. The so-called "hot" foods refer to foods that are more likely to warm the body than warm foods, and generally refer to spicy spices and the like. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that warm foods are good for the skin, and more emphasis should be placed on protecting Yang in autumn. Therefore, the autumn diet can be more warming and tonic. Eat more beef and mutton, lotus seed porridge, wolfberry and other foods, which can warm and nourish qi and blood, nourish the internal organs, and protect the skin.
Warm foods that dispel cold and boost yang often contain high calories, and they tend to accumulate heat in the body after being eaten. Regular consumption can lead to strong lung fire, manifested by dry mouth and tongue. How can we suppress "dryness"? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is best to choose some "sweet and cold" foods, that is, foods with cooler properties to control it.
"Cold" foods refer to foods that can make the body cold, including eggplants, tomatoes, cucumbers and other foods. If the nature of the food is between "warm" and "cold", it is called "flat" food. For example, white radish and eggs are "flat" foods.
Eat a combination of cool and warm foods. There are many cool foods in daily life, such as rabbit meat, chicken, duck meat, eggs, kelp, honey, sesame seeds, white fungus, lotus seeds, lilies, white radish, Chinese cabbage, celery, spinach, winter bamboo shoots, bananas, apples, etc. Professor Gan said that these foods are best eaten together with warm foods, which are good for the body.
Except for pumpkins and pumpkins, which are warm in nature, melon vegetables such as bitter melon, loofah, cucumber, cabbage melon, watermelon, melon, etc. are all cool in nature.
Tomatoes, eggplants, celery, chrysanthemums, alfalfa (purple horn leaves), lettuce, asparagus, watercress, jicama, etc. are also cool vegetables
