Tang, deputy director of the Oncology Department of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, explained that sweets are like big fish and big meat, which are rich in fat and sweet and should not be eaten more. Because of eating too much fat, sweet and thick taste is the most likely to damage the spleen and stomach, spleen loses health, phlegm and dampness are endogenous, especially in summer, and the humidity is heavier in the natural climate. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the humidity inside the human body and the external humidity in the natural climate are mutually induced. External dampness contributes to the formation of internal dampness, which can be turned into heat after long stagnation, and damp-heat pulsation can form damp-heat syndrome. Specific manifestations are obesity, abdominal distension, loss of appetite, and even symptoms such as lingering fever, yellow eyes, short and red urine, yellow and greasy tongue coating, sometimes called excessive internal heat.
Although the excessive internal fire is mostly caused by the change of seven emotions, the role of external factors can not be ignored. The weather in summer is unbearable, and people with hot constitution will get angry if they eat too many sweets. Therefore, we must pay attention to the summer diet: most foods that can reduce fire are light, not greasy, not too sweet and high in fiber, such as vegetables, radishes and bitter melons. In particular, it should be reminded that although watermelon tastes sweet, because of its cool nature, it has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, removing dryness and quenching thirst, so eating watermelon will not get angry.
Pay attention to the following foods that are easy to cause fire when eating, and avoid or eat less:
1, fried food: Chinese medicine divides food into four types: warm, hot, cold and cool. Usually, the first two kinds of food are easy to cause anger, but as long as it is fried food, no matter what kind of food, it is easy to get angry.
2. "Warm" and "hot" foods: such as ginger, pepper, garlic or litchi and longan in fruits.
3, supplements in Chinese medicine: such as Siwutang or Bazhen, as a drug to nourish women's physical weakness and regulate menstruation, the sex is "hot", so people with dry constitution are not suitable for taking.
In addition to avoiding the above-mentioned diet that is easy to get angry, people with high anger can also help improve the symptoms of high anger by getting enough sleep and drinking less caffeinated drinks.
