The yin and yang properties of food are changeable.

Food is also divided into yin and yang. People with yin syndrome should use warm and hot yang foods, while people with yang syndrome should use cold and cool yin foods, thereby adjusting the imbalance of yin and yang in the human body.

An important feature of food is that its yin and yang properties can change under different conditions. For example, foods with high water content and raw foods such as sashimi and raw wild vegetables can clear away heat, so they are yin, but after being cooked and heated, they become yang.

The attribute of cooked food is Yang, compared with raw food. If compared with other cooked foods, there is still a distinction between Yin and Yang, which means it is not necessarily Yang.

Animal food has a dynamic nature, so it is yang compared to plant food which has a static nature. Compared with each other, animal foods have yin and yang, and compared with each other, plant foods also have yin and yang.

In other words, the yin and yang of food is relative rather than absolute.

Therefore, in the actual recipe, if the patient's syndrome belongs to the Yin syndrome series, the main dish should be selected from the meat food and belong to the Yang variety, heated and cooked before eating, and the side dish should be selected from the plant food and belong to the Yang warming nature of wild vegetables, through various methods to increase the power of warming Yang
