1. Raw and cold fruitsTraditional Chinese medicine emphasizes that a cold body combined with cold drinks can cause damage to the lungs, spleen and stomach. Decreased function of the spleen can lead to a build-up of moisture, while pulmonary air occlusion can worsen symptoms. In addition, fruits are cold in nature in most cases, and even hot fruits are raw and cold when they are not cooked. Therefore, excessive consumption of fruits is prone to phlegm drinking, which may lead to repeated coughing and phlegm.
2. MeatMeat contains a lot of protein and fat, making it relatively difficult to digest. Excessive consumption of meat can easily lead to damage to the spleen and stomach, affect its normal function, and then lead to the production of phlegm. Take pork that we often eat, for example, there are records in ancient books that it is easy to cause phlegm and dampness. Wang Mengying's "Diet Recipe for Living with Rest" pointed out: "Pork eats more to help dampness and heat, and brews phlegm and drinks ......."”
3. MilkFrom the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, milk is regarded as a cold thing. It is recorded in the "Dietary Therapy Materia Medica": "Milk, cold, and people suffering from hot wind should take it." People suffering from air conditioning should not take it. Therefore, when the spleen and stomach function is weakened, the milk drunk cannot be transported normally, and may eventually be converted into excess watery and damp phlegm drink, which remains in the body.
Fourth, high-fat foodsSnacks such as melon seeds, walnuts and sesame seeds contain more oil. It is okay to eat a small amount, but excessive consumption will make people feel sticky and unpleasant in the mouth, difficult to digest, and increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, and promote the growth of phlegm. In addition, these snacks are high in calories and tend to lead to heat and phlegm.
