Fruits are delicious and nutritious, making them one of our indispensable foods. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that fruits are divided into five natures: cold, cool, flat, warm and hot, and it is very important to choose fruits that suit your physique.
Among them, warm fruits include apples, lychees, peaches, longans, rambutans, peaches, chestnuts, custardsops, coconut meat, kumquats, plums, cherries, dates, etc. They can help us warm our bodies and strengthen our body's resistance.
If you have a cold constitution or a weak spleen and stomach, warm fruits can improve these symptoms, which is undoubtedly a very good choice. But if you have a hot constitution or are prone to fire, then you should choose some cold fruits to balance the body's heat.
When eating, we can eat warm fruits with other foods, such as cooking apples with red dates to enhance the nourishing effect; Lychee stewed with chicken can nourish blood and replenish deficiency; Soaking kumquat with honey can moisten the lungs and relieve cough. In addition, in order to better retain the nutrients and taste of the fruit, it is recommended to eat it directly after washing or juice it, and avoid long-term heat treatment. In addition to this, we should also be careful not to consume fruits in excess, so as not to burden the body.
