Lifestyle care

In life, we should pay attention to the combination of work and rest. In terms of diet, we should pay attention to eating more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, drink more water, eat less spicy and fried foods, and smoke and drink less. Getting angry is also closely related to mental state. Maintaining an optimistic and positive attitude towards life is actually the best fire extinguisher. You can try foods that reduce heat, but they must be taken according to the symptoms.

For example, drinking lotus seed soup can remove heart fire, eating pork liver can remove lung fire, drinking mung bean porridge can remove stomach fire, drinking pear juice can remove liver fire, and eating pork kidneys can remove kidney fire. You should also be careful when eating fruits. Some fruits are hot in nature, such as lychees, oranges, pineapples, longans, pomegranates, mangoes, etc.; foods such as onions, ginger, garlic, wine, chili peppers, pepper, Sichuan pepper, fumigated foods, Sichuan spicy hot pot, etc. If you are not feeling well and then eat too much hot food, it will easily cause getting a sore throat.

People who are prone to getting inflamed should pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and eat less spicy, fried and other hot foods. You can also take medicines to nourish yin, clear away heat, detoxify and reduce swelling, or use traditional Chinese medicine therapies such as acupuncture, cupping, massage, and so on.
