Some people should not eat "bitterness"
Summer "asking for trouble" is not suitable for everyone. It is precisely because of "bitterness into the heart" that we must eat "bitterness" according to the specific physical condition of the individual while eating "bitterness" to protect our health.
First, people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold are not suitable for eating "bitterness", because Chinese medicine believes that the spleen governs transportation, likes dryness and hates dampness, and the spleen of Chinese medicine contains most functions of the digestive system of western medicine and is related to body fluid metabolism. And bitter and cold things are easy to hurt the spleen and stomach, affecting the transport function of the spleen and stomach. Therefore, if the human spleen and stomach are deficient in cold, it is easy to have loose bowels, the limbs are thin, and the constitution is weak, then you can't eat a lot of bitter and cold food;
Second, children should keep a proper distance from suffering. Professor Zhu pointed out that some children are angry, but because of their immature constitution, it is not appropriate to overuse drugs. Generally reduce fire, drink ordinary mung bean soup, lily soup and chrysanthemum tea;
Third, for the elderly, Professor Zhu suggested that they should be treated differently according to specific conditions. That is to say, comprehensive treatment should be combined with the strength of heart fire and the quality of constitution.
