Generally, when people find their mouths are dry, have blisters, or even have nosebleeds, they realize they might be suffering from "internal heat" due to insufficient consumption of vegetables and fruits. Consequently, they start consciously using fruits to regulate their condition. Unknowingly, they might be adding fuel to the fire by eating the wrong fruits.
Generally speaking, people with a weak and cold spleen and stomach should choose warm-natured fruits, while those with a warm constitution should opt for cool-natured fruits. Cool-natured fruits that clear internal heat include pears, watermelon, bananas, kiwis, persimmons, pomelos, oranges, tangerines, and mulberries; warm-natured fruits that can cause internal heat include peaches, cherries, longans, lychees, jujubes, and pomegranates; there are few neutral-natured fruits, such as olives, lemons, plums, and apricots.
In summary, regardless of the type of fruit, one should identify their body constitution and avoid excessive consumption to better leverage their benefits.
Helpful Tip:
To freshen breath, chew some orange peel.
Some people undergo numerous check-ups, and their bodies show no serious issues, yet their mouths always emit an unpleasant odor, making them hesitant to open their mouth in public. In fact, there are many simple and practical life hacks that can help you get rid of this awkward situation.
For simple bad breath, try chewing fresh orange peel. Orange peel is rich in vitamin C and essential oils, and functions to regulate qi, resolve phlegm, and strengthen the spleen and stomach. After chewing, spit out the residue and repeat the process a few times for a more effective way to remove oral odor. Especially for kumquats, 80% of the vitamin C is concentrated in the peel, reaching up to 200 milligrams per 100 grams. Therefore, washing the peel and eating it along with the flesh will leave your throat feeling moist and your mouth fragrant.
