Children should not eat dog meat. Dog meat has the effect of nourishing yin and strengthening yang, but the child's yang is very heavy and does not need to replenish yang. Moreover, the child's body is still in the development stage, and the internal organs are not yet mature. Dog meat is hot and easy to damage children's health.
Generally, children can eat dog meat properly at the age of seven or eight. Usually it is best to eat some high-protein foods such as chicken, fish and shrimp.
People with yin deficiency and flourishing fire can't eat dog meat. Dog meat is very hot, and it is particularly easy to get angry after eating it. Therefore, people who often get angry should try to eat less dog meat. People with insufficient sleep, dry mouth and oral ulcers are particularly prone to get angry after eating dog meat.
Patients with diseases can't eat dog meat, which is a kind of warming food with high calories. Therefore, patients with hemoptysis, dysentery, measles and aphtha can't eat dog meat, which is easy to aggravate their illness and is not conducive to rehabilitation.
