Table of food cold and hot properties

In fact, many foods are rich in water, and some of this water is benign, some is hot, and in fact some foods have cold and hot properties, indicating different types of food. So next I will introduce to you some classifications of food varieties, so that when you eat food, you can also understand what kind of food the body needs based on the actual condition of the body.

The four qualities of food refer to the four properties of food: cold, hot, warm and cool, also known as the four properties. Because cool is second only to cold, and warm is similar to hot, it is actually the two properties of cold and hot.

Sweet is cold, sour is cool, water is cool, and anything containing water is cool.

Although alcohol is warm in nature, it has a high volatility, so it comes and goes quickly. Therefore, it is not good for the human body. In fact, drinking too much may make your constitution become colder.

For cool or cold vegetables, people with cold body should try to eat them cooked and add hot seasonings such as ginger.

For cool or cold fruits, people with cold body should avoid eating them or eat less. They can be heated or blanched in boiling water before eating.
