We've talked a lot about seasonal foods to eat in autumn, but what are the dietary taboos? What foods should you avoid in the fall? Today, the editor will take a look at who is on the blacklist of autumn foods!
Autumn Food Blacklist!
1. Don't eat ginger: Ginger is hot and spicy. Eating too much in the fall can easily lead to autumn dryness, causing coughs and thus harming the spirit. Eating too much ginger in the fall most easily damages the lungs and causes internal heat, leading to adverse reactions such as coughs and sore throats, worsening the damage of autumn dryness to the body. Therefore, you should eat less ginger in the fall. However, the saying "don't eat ginger in autumn" is not absolutely reasonable; we need to decide based on our own physical condition. For people with a colder constitution who often experience symptoms like cold hands and feet, aversion to raw and cold foods, and a strong fear of cold, eating a moderate amount of ginger in autumn, a season with frequent illnesses and large temperature differences between day and night, can play a good role in warming the stomach and dispelling cold. Therefore, for people with a cold constitution, eating a little ginger in the fall is beneficial.
2. Can't eat hot pot: Most people enjoy hot pot in the fall, as the spicy taste seems more satisfying, but it can easily cause internal fire to accumulate in the body, leading to symptoms like constipation and acne. When eating hot pot in the fall, you should eat more vegetables and mushrooms together, and not too much meat. Dog meat is also not recommended to be eaten in excess in the fall, as it is high in calories and can easily cause internal heat. It is especially important to note that you should never drink tea while eating hot pot. The tannic acid in tea combines with the protein in meat to form a substance called tannic acid protein, which has a strong astringent effect and can easily lead to constipation.
3. Can't eat chili: Eating too much chili in the fall can make people feel dry and hot. In addition, excessive consumption of chili can lead to many health risks. First, excessive chili consumption is a strong irritant to the digestive tract, and in severe cases, it can cause gastrointestinal bleeding, induce stomach ulcers, and also cause dry stools. Furthermore, excessive chili consumption can easily lead to the formation of deep-seated abscesses on the skin, affecting facial appearance. Therefore, people with stomach ulcers, esophagitis, hemorrhoids, as well as those with yin deficiency and internal heat, frequent constipation, and acne should be cautious when eating chili.
