Summer "asking for trouble" is not for everyone. It is precisely because "bitterness enters the heart" that while eating "bitterness", we must also eat "bitterness" according to the specific physical condition of the individual 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, which is related to the metabolism of body fluids. However, bitter and cold things are easy to hurt the spleen and stomach, affecting the transport and transformation function of the spleen and stomach. Therefore, if the human body is weak in spleen and stomach, prone to diarrhea, emaciated limbs and weak constitution, 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 treating them differently according to specific conditions. That is to say, comprehensive treatment should combine the strength of heart fire and the quality of constitution.
