What are the cold fruits and foods?

Diet and health should first talk about "sex". "Sex" (or "Qi") means that food has different properties such as cold, cool, warm and hot, which is called "four natures" or "four qi" in Chinese medicine. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, food is divided into five types, which are generally flat, cold, cool, warm and hot.

From the analysis of more than 300 kinds of commonly used foods recorded in TCM dietotherapy books, it is found that sexual foods are the most, followed by warm foods and cold foods. Generally speaking, all kinds of foods have nutritional and health care functions, and cold foods are negative, which have the functions of clearing away heat and purging fire, cooling blood and detoxifying. Warm food is positive and has the effects of dispelling cold, warming meridians, dredging collaterals and supporting yang.

Seven, according to the attributes of food, reasonable arrangement of meals.

People's physique has different attributes, some are hot and some are cold; Food also has different natural attributes: warmth, cold and peace. People with different constitutions should choose foods that suit their constitutions.

For example, people with heavy internal heat choose flat or cold food, and people with deficiency of spleen and stomach choose warm or flat food. Flat food has a wide range of adaptability and can be eaten regardless of physical condition.

The coordination of three meals a day doesn't have to be cold and hot, so we should pay attention to reasonable collocation and keep the balance of food attributes. If the food is hot, you can eat cold or flat fruit.

In addition to the nature of food, different cooking methods and cooking materials will change the nature of food to varying degrees. If you stew, roast, stew, stir-fry, burn, simmer and other methods, cold food can be warmed; Choosing seasonings such as onion, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, pepper and cooking wine can also change the nature of cold food.

We should flexibly and dynamically match foods with different attributes and choose reasonable cooking methods according to our actual physical condition. Such as braised eggplant with garlic, so that the nature of the dish will not be too cold; Red hot pot, you can choose cold celery, spinach, arrowhead, river fish fillet and so on. To maintain a balance and overcome the negative effects of diet on health.

Generally speaking, you should choose flat and cool food in summer, but the opposite is true in winter.

Judging the attributes of seasonal vegetables is very simple, that is, vegetables planted in summer are generally cold, vegetables planted in winter are hot, and so are fruits. Some vegetables grown in greenhouses have no obvious seasonality, but basically retain their edible characteristics.

But the principle of this season is generally speaking. Although it is winter, the recipe is hot for a week, which will be harmful to your health. A better way is to properly adjust the arrangement of breakfast, lunch, dinner or recipes in a week, so that the attributes of food tend to be balanced, and it is easy to implement the principle of food diversification.
