Eating by the fire and the heat

Heat can arise in the body in several ways:

It can enter us from the outside as an external climatic pathogen, for example, through overexposure to the sun or attack by wind heat (common viruses).
More often, however, heat is caused by eating too fiery foods (spicy, spicy, fried, alcohol) or by excessive stress, overexertion or suppression of emotions. Stress and emotions always eventually turn into heat in the body.

General principles of eating near fire and heat

Patients with these conditions benefit from bitter, cold and spicy foods.
Increased intake of raw foods, especially fruits and vegetables, is generally advisable.
This approach to diet also benefits people with hot flushes and excess Yang, even if they have no symptoms.

Acute images of hotness

In acute heat conditions (e.g., wind heat attack), it is important to watch adequate fluid intake. Fruit and vegetable juices, herbal teas and broths or light soups are best, ideally warm or at room temperature.
Chilled or iced liquids are best avoided as they can have a detrimental effect on the spleen.
During a bout of wind-heat, it is necessary to open the pores (sweating) so that harmful organisms are flushed out. Pungent cool and distracting foods such as peppermint, pears, radishes, watercress and cabbage are helpful.
Avoid warming foods such as lamb, beef, chicken, shellfish and warming spices.

Chronic images of hotness

Cooking methods that increase the heat essence of foods, such as baking, frying, grilling and deep-frying, are inappropriate.
Lighter heat treatments such as steaming and quick frying in a wok are recommended.
Some whole raw foods are useful (except for stomach heat), combine them with cooked or lightly blanched foods.
