This is how hot pot is actually supposed to be eaten—a secret 99% of people don't know.

Isn't it cozy to have spicy food with a little wine? But if you feel unwell after a hot pot, you can't blame anyone else. Let's take a look at the healthy way to eat hot pot!

1. Avoid choosing overly spicy or oily broths

Broths that are too oily or spicy are not suitable for the dry northern climate and can easily cause physical discomfort. When eating hot pot in the north, it's best to choose a clear broth. Those who love spicy food can add an appropriate amount of chili to their own dipping sauce for extra flavor. The nourishing and tomato-based broths offered by many restaurants now are also good choices.

2. Eat some staple food before cooking the ingredients

Before eating meat and vegetables, you can first eat some starchy foods, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. This can not only help control your portion size but also protect your stomach and intestines.
