Every year in July, it is the best season to maintain the body's yang energy. If the yang energy is strong, the human body functions normally, and if the yang energy is weakened and the function of the organs decreases, the ability to resist external invasion will decrease, and the lack of yang energy will not only make people weak and sick, but also make people cough and wheezing.
Cough and asthma in summer are mostly related to diet, and some people have the problem of spleen and stomach deficiency and lack of yang qi, coupled with eating ice drinks, ice cream, etc., resulting in constant coughing and wheezing, from morning to night, and will be accompanied by phlegm.
01
These 4 foods are prone to phlegm
You really have to eat less when you cough
The intake of certain foods is easy to affect the movement of the spleen, resulting in an increase in phlegm, which may be fine in a healthy state, but if you are already in a cold state and have symptoms such as cough, it is best to eat less of the following foods that are easy to "produce phlegm", otherwise the phlegm is turbid and depressed in the lungs, which directly affects the lung qi and is likely to aggravate the cough.
Raw and cold fruits
There is a saying in traditional Chinese medicine that "if you drink cold in the form of cold, you will hurt your lungs", and if you drink raw and cold things after the body is cold, it will hurt the lungs, spleen and stomach. decreased function of the spleen will accumulate dampness and produce phlegm; Pulmonary air obstruction, symptoms worsen.
Fruits are not only easy to help moisture, but also most of the fruit properties are cold, even if they are hot fruits, uncooked are also cold, eat more phlegm drink, thus causing repeated coughing, phlegm.
Meat food
Meat contains more protein and fat, relatively difficult to digest, after eating too much meat food, it is easy to hurt the spleen and stomach, and a deficiency of the spleen and stomach is not conducive to its normal function, so that phlegm turbidity will follow.
For example, the pork we eat most often, there are records in ancient books about its easy to cause phlegm and dampness, Wang Mengying's "Suixingju Diet Recipe" believes that pork: "eat more to help dampness and heat, and make phlegm drink".
Milk
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, milk belongs to the yin and cold things, and the Tang Dynasty's "Dietary Therapy Materia Medica" wrote: "Milk, cold, people suffering from hot wind should take it." People suffering from air conditioning should not take it. ”
Therefore, when the body's spleen and stomach function is weak, the milk drunk cannot be well transported, so in the end it can only be turned into excess water and phlegm drink, which exists in the body.
High-fat foods
Snacks such as melon seeds, walnuts, and sesame seeds contain more oil, and it is okay to eat a small amount, but if you eat too much, it is easy to feel sticky and uncomfortable in the mouth, and it is difficult to digest, which will increase the burden on the spleen and stomach and promote the breeding of phlegm. At the same time, they are high in calories and tend to cause heat and phlegm.
