1, color: color greenish cold, color reddish warm. Green plants close to the ground, absorbing ground moisture, so the sex is cold, such as green beans, green vegetables. Color red plants, such as peppers, dates, pomegranates, etc., although close to the ground to grow, but the fruit can absorb more sunlight, so the sex is hot.
2, flavor: bitter, sour taste of the food is cold, sweet, pungent food sex heat. Bitter taste, sour taste of food cold, such as bitter melon, bitter vegetables, taro, plums, papaya and so on. Pungent, sweet taste, because of the longer time to receive sunlight, so the sex of heat, such as garlic, persimmons, pomegranates and so on.
3, growing place: aquatic plants are cold, land plants are hot. Lotus root, kelp, seaweed, etc. for cold. And the food that grows in the land, such as peanuts, potatoes, yams, ginger, etc., due to the long-term buried in the soil, less water, so the hot sex.
4, light: back of the shade food cold, sunny plants hot. Back of the shade towards the north of the food absorbed moisture heavy, rarely see the sun, so the sex is cold, such as mushrooms, fungus, etc.. And grow in the air or have a positive food, such as sunflowers, chestnuts, etc., due to receive sufficient light, so the nature of the hot.
5, season: winter and summer food cold, spring and fall food hot. In the winter growth of food, because of the heavy cold, so the nature of the cold, such as cabbage, mushrooms, white radish, winter melon and so on. Foods that grow in the summer are also cold in nature because they receive more rain, such as watermelon, cucumber, and pear. Apples, oranges and other spring and fall foods are mostly hot.
How to choose warm, hot and cold food 1, due to personal constitution to choose food
The principle of selecting food is: "the cold is hot, the hot is cold, the false is complementary, the real is diarrhea." Identify the body of the food, hot and cold with, so as to adjust the balance of yin and yang of the human body, in order to achieve the effect of human health. Specific methods are as follows:
Cool food is suitable for those who have a deficiency of yin and heat. Because cold food has the effect of clearing heat, draining fire, detoxifying, moistening heat, moistening dryness, quenching thirst, clearing the heart, nourishing yin and generating fluids. Yang deficiency and cowardly cold people should not eat cold food, otherwise it will aggravate the dampness in the body.
Warm and hot foods are suitable for people with yang deficiency and fear of cold. Warm and hot food has the effect of generating heat, dispelling cold, warming the stomach, assisting yang, benefiting qi, warming the center and opening the channels. However, people with yin deficiency and heat should not eat warm and hot food, otherwise it will aggravate internal heat and symptoms such as dry throat, bitter tongue, toothache, blood in stool and constipation will occur.
Plain foods can be eaten by the general public. Flat food has the effect of strengthening the spleen, appetizing and tonifying the kidneys, and its performance is calm and adaptable, so it can be eaten by both healthy people and patients with cold or heat, regardless of yin deficiency or yang deficiency.
2, due to climate change choose food
Climate change is the change of temperature, into the summer temperature is high, into the winter temperature is low. Therefore, when the temperature is high, eat more cold food to clear heat and relieve heat, and when the temperature is low, eat more warm food to keep warm and get rid of cold. If it is hot to eat dog meat, it will immediately heat out the disease, nose fire, sore throat, dry stools, chest tightness and heartburn; if it is cold to eat watermelon, mild stomach pain, bloating, heavy diarrhea, back pain.
3, due to the different regions of the choice of food
Each region due to climate, geography, different growth of different foods. The most obvious is that the tropical areas are rich in cold fruits, such as bananas, watermelon, sugar cane, etc.; and cold areas are rich in onions, scallions, garlic, these warm foods and potatoes, soybeans, and other mild food. God has already prepared the food for the people growing in the local area, which is the truth of "one side of the soil and water nourishes one side of the people". But modern transportation has easily broken this boundary.
4, to remind everyone is: now people can eat all year round, anti-seasonal, cross-regional food. The great abundance of materials is a necessity of economic development. For our bodies to remain healthy, the food we eat should always maintain a balance and harmony with our own physical qualities and the environment we live in, which means that each of us should do our daily diet to choose food with different attributes according to the person, the time and the place in order not to get sick or less sick.
If you are not familiar with the properties of the various types of food warm and hot, cold and cold flat, in the cold when a large number of mistakenly eat cold fruits, vegetables and beverages, is in the body and the body of the various organs cooled down, bringing the direct result is that the overall quality of people's health is comprehensively under the dragon, frequent disease, aging in advance.
