Cold in nature and sweet and salty in taste. It is precisely because of its cool nature that it is clearly warned in the "Diet Spectrum with Interest": "Eating more cold, people with spleen deficiency should avoid it."

Clam meat is cold, sweet and salty, and can nourish yin and clear heat, but people with spleen deficiency should not eat more, and eating it will easily hurt the spleen and stomach yang. Therefore, Wang Mengying, a food doctor in the Qing Dynasty, warned in "Living with Interest" that "mussels are sweet, salty and cold. Eating more cold, spleen deficiency and slippery are taboo. "

2. Lycium barbarum

It's flat and sweet. However, ancient doctors also believed that Lycium barbarum was cold. For example, it is "slightly cold" in "Bielu". "Dietotherapy Materia Medica" thinks that it is "cold and non-toxic". "Seeking Truth from Materia Medica" also said: "Lycium barbarum is sweet and cold." For this reason, people who are usually weak in spleen and stomach, or who are known as loose stool with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, should be avoided, just as the "Herbal classics are sparse" warns: "People with weak spleen and stomach should not enter from time to time.

3. Hawthorn

Also known as Tangzhu and Shanlihong. It can stimulate appetite and promote digestion, but it has the disadvantage of damaging the spleen and stomach. For example, "Compendium of Materia Medica" once said: "Anyone with weak spleen, inedible food, and sore chest and abdomen should chew two or three excellent tablets after each meal, but don't eat too much, for fear of anti-cutting." It is also pointed out in "Herbal Classics": "People with spleen and stomach deficiency and stagnation should be given together with tonics, and should not be overused." Yuan and Zhu Danxi also thought: "Hawthorn, if there is no food accumulation in the stomach, spleen deficiency can't be transported, and those who don't think about eating, take it more, which is against the spleen and stomach." Therefore, people with spleen deficiency should not eat it, and even more avoid eating it often.

4. Pears

Raw pears are cool, and spleen deficiency should not be avoided. As the "dietary instructions" said: "Eating too much makes people feel cold, damaging the spleen, and raw food often becomes cold dysentery." "Herbal classics are sparse" also says: "diarrhea due to spleen deficiency should be avoided by salty method." Qing Dynasty and Wang Mengying also pointed out: "Those with deficiency in the middle and cold diarrhea should avoid it." Therefore, anyone with spleen deficiency, especially those with spleen-stomach deficiency and cold diarrhea and loose stool, should not eat it.

5. Duck meat

A cool thing. "Dietary Instructions" once said: "Duck meat tastes sweet and cold, but it is cold when it is slippery." Qing and Wang Mengying also said: "Eating too much stagnation of qi, slipping in the middle, anything that is yang deficiency and spleen weakness, ... is taboo." Therefore, people with spleen deficiency, especially those with insufficient spleen yang, should not eat duck.

6. Turtle

It has the function of cooling blood and nourishing yin, which belongs to nourishing food and nourishing greasy things. Eating too much for a long time will hinder the transport function of the spleen, causing indigestion and loss of appetite. In particular, people with spleen and stomach deficiency should avoid eating it, as warned in "Materia Medica Renews": "People with spleen deficiency are taboo."

7. Oyster meat

It is slightly cold in nature and sweet and salty in taste. Although it has the function of nourishing yin and blood, eating too much for a long time will lead to deficiency of the spleen and stomach and aggravate the chronic diseases of the digestive system. Those who suffer from chronic gastritis, chronic enteritis, dyspepsia and chronic diarrhea due to spleen deficiency should avoid eating too much. Qing and Huanggong embroidery also said: "Spleen deficiency and fine slippery are taboo."

8. Snails

Cold in nature and sweet in taste, although it has the effect of clearing away heat, it is not suitable for the body of spleen and stomach deficiency and cold. As pointed out in the "Materia Medica", "This object is extremely cold and is good at understanding all kinds of heat. There is a cold drink in the stomach, and there is a long-term diarrhea in the abdomen, which is not suitable for eating. " Yao Kecheng's "Food Materia Medica" also said: "Eating more makes people feel abdominal pain." Therefore, anyone with spleen deficiency should avoid eating it.
