Some people are not suitable for "bitterness". Summer "asking for hardship" is not suitable for everyone. Just because "bitterness enters the heart", when we eat "bitterness" to protect our health, we must eat "bitterness" according to the individual's specific physical condition. First, people with spleen and stomach deficiency are not suitable for eating "bitter" foods, because traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen governs transportation and transformation, and likes dryness and dislikes dampness. The spleen in traditional Chinese medicine contains most of the functions of the digestive system in Western medicine, and is related to body fluid metabolism. Bitter and cold things are easy to damage the spleen and stomach, affecting the transportation and transformation functions of the spleen and stomach. Therefore, if the human body's spleen and stomach are weak and cold, prone to diarrhea, thin limbs, and weak constitution, then it is not possible to eat a large amount of bitter and cold food; secondly, children should keep a distance from "bitterness" appropriately. Professor Zhu pointed out that some children have relatively strong heart fire, but due to their immature constitutions, they should not over-medicate.

Generally, to reduce fire, you can drink ordinary mung bean soup, lily soup, and chrysanthemum tea; thirdly, for the elderly, Professor Zhu suggested that they should be treated differently according to the specific situation. That is to say, comprehensive treatment needs to be carried out based on various factors such as the strength of the heart fire and the quality of the body's constitution.
