Although there are many cool fruits in summer, among many fruits, such as litchi, longan and apricot, which are warm, they are still popular. Especially people with deficiency-cold constitution have deficiency of qi and spleen, low basal metabolic rate, less heat generated in the body, and their limbs are cold even in summer. Comparatively speaking, these people are whiter than ordinary people, and they are seldom thirsty, and they don't like touching cold things, including entering air-conditioned rooms. Therefore, it is undoubtedly a good cold tonic for these people to eat more warm fruits.

Some fruits are not suitable for freezing.
The fruit between cold and heat belongs to peace. This kind of fruit, such as grapes, pineapples, mangoes, olives, gingko and plums, can be eaten by people with different constitutions. However, there are many things to pay attention to when eating fruit. Be careful when eating, especially in summer. Don't be greedy for cold. Not all fruits are suitable for frozen consumption.
Fruits must be fresh and nutritious. Eat more whole fruits, try to eat less canned fruits and don't drink fruit juice, because you will lose a lot of dietary fiber. In addition, eat more fruits with colorful flesh, such as hawthorn, jujube, kiwi fruit and mango, which are rich in vitamins C and B, and are very nutritious.
Besides paying attention to nutrition, the most important thing to eat fruit in summer is not to be greedy. Many people like to eat frozen fruits in the refrigerator, although the chilled fruits are particularly delicious and comfortable to eat. However, fruits that are too cold will stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis to slow down, which will cause indigestion, especially for people with cold stomach or mild gastritis. Litchi, persimmon, pear, etc. They are usually frozen for an hour or two, so don't leave them for the next day; But some fruits are not necessarily delicious after freezing, such as watermelon, cantaloupe, peach and apricot. After freezing for an hour or two, they often feel that there is no sweetness. In fact, this is not because of nutrient loss, but because the water in the refrigerator has been absorbed into the fruit for too long, and the sweetness has been diluted. So fresh fruit like this is the best, if it is to be frozen for about half an hour. In addition, it is best not to eat frozen bananas. First of all, they are not sweet. Second, banana skin and even banana meat will turn black after freezing, which is the result of sugar fermentation. It is best not to eat them. (Qi Ming)
