Hot fruits
Hot foods are apt for people with a cold body constitution. They help to disperse the chill and reinforce energy in the flesh. How do you know where on the spectrum your physique gravitates towards? People with a cold physique have cold extremities (such as constant sneezing), a paler face and tongue, and often suffer from diarrhoea. Even if it’s summer, after entering an air-conditioned room, they usually need to put on a jacket in order to feel more comfortable.
For example, taking in fruits like mango—a low-calorie fruit that is high in fibre and a great source of vitamins A and C—can improve the “cold” symptoms and, within reason, restore the qi in your bodies. Conversely, those with a heat physique should stay away from these fruits as much as possible as they’ll aggravate the heat symptoms of one’s body, which encompass signs like acne and sweating.
What you should eat: Peaches, longans, litchi, mangos, durians, and cherries
