Cough is always bad, eat less of five foods!

Mondo Health Updated on 2024-03-06

Repeated coughing is always bad, and it is recommended to eat less of these 5 foods that are prone to phlegm during the cough.

1.Sweets. Foods that are too sweet (such as candy, sugar cubes, cream, cakes, chocolates, etc.) are prone to damage the spleen and produce phlegm and dampness.

Some children eat half a cake during a cough and the cough gets worse after half an hour, so avoid sweets during the cough.

2.Cold drinks. Drinking cold drinks will directly bring cold into the body, which can easily hurt the spleen, stomach and lungs, and drinking cold drinks during coughing will aggravate the condition.

3.Milk. Milk itself is cold and indigestible, so don't drink milk during the wind-cold cough for a while, and if you have to drink it, you can add two slices of ginger to boil the milk.

4.Seafood. Whether to eat less seafood during illness has always been controversial, some people say to supplement nutrition, some people say that cold food should be avoided, the key to the problem is not whether you can eat it, but whether the body has enough ability to digest these foods during the cough. Adults have no appetite during illness, not to mention children with a delicate spleen and stomach, so it is recommended to eat less during the cough.

5.Fruit. Most fruits are cold, and the fruit is prone to cold and dampness, which can cause recurrent coughing.
