Do not eat undercooked food
Some people like to eat raw or undercooked seafood, thinking it tastes delicious. In fact, if unclean meat or shellfish are not cooked thoroughly, parasite eggs hidden within can easily enter the body, leading to various parasitic diseases.
Do not leave overnight
Some families save leftover hot pot to eat the next day. Doctors advise against this, as the metal pot and its surface can react chemically with the broth, easily causing nausea, vomiting, and other issues.
Do not eat when too hot
Food that is too hot not only harms the gums but can also scald the esophageal mucosa, causing ulcers and inducing diseases such as allergic dental problems or esophageal cancer. Therefore, it is crucial to eat hot pot slowly. The temperature of the rich broth can reach 120°C, and eating it straight from the pot can easily scald the mouth, tongue, esophagus, and stomach lining.

Do not overcook vegetables and hot pot ingredients
If cooked for too long, vitamins, amino acids, and other substances they contain will be destroyed, thus losing their original nutritional value.
Do not make it too spicy
Many hot pot enthusiasts believe the stronger the flavor, the better. This is especially true for those who love spicy hot pot, who find the spiciness exciting. However, eating overly spicy food irritates the stomach and is particularly harmful to patients with tuberculosis, skin diseases, stomach ailments, or diarrhea. Hot pot is a high-calorie food with a strong flavor, and the frequent strong stimulation to the mouth and digestive tract can disrupt their normal functions.
Do not consume with alcohol
Some people like to drink large amounts of alcohol, especially ice-cold beer, with hot pot. Unknowingly, alcohol causes lactic acid to build up in the body and inhibits the excretion of uric acid. Over time, this can easily lead to gout, and in severe cases, complications such as kidney stones and uremia may arise.
