Women with a cold constitution should avoid five types of food.

Introduction: For women with a 'cold' constitution, cassia seed can cause diarrhea and a 'deficient cold' condition. Especially for those with an 'excessively fat' constitution, do not consume cassia seed, as it may worsen your indigestion. Instead of breaking down fat, it will prolong the time food is stored in your body, taking you further away from your weight loss goals. Many women have a 'cold' constitution, and there are five foods they should be cautious about consuming.

1. Job's Tears

Job's Tears can moisten the skin, whiten and replenish moisture, promote qi and blood circulation, and regulate menstrination to relieve pain. It is known as the "commoner queen of herbal formulas."

Job's Tears can make the body 'cold-deficient'. Women with a 'cold' constitution are not suitable for long-term consumption. Pregnant women and those who are menstruating should avoid it. Additionally, Job's Tears contains a viscous type of sugar, and eating too much can hinder digestion.

2. Cassia Seed

Cassia seed is sweet, bitter, and 'cold' in nature, with effects of lowering lipids, promoting bowel movements, and detoxifying.

For women with a 'cold' constitution, cassia seed can cause diarrhea and a 'deficient cold' condition. Especially for those with an 'excessively fat' constitution, do not consume cassia seed, as it may worsen your indigestion. Instead of breaking down fat, it will prolong the time food is stored in your body, taking you further away from your weight loss goals. The safe dosage for cassia seed is 9-15 grams.

3. Aloe

From moisturizing and sun protection, to removing spots and wrinkles, nourishing the skin, keeping it soft and shiny, and even preventing aging and protecting hair, aloe is almost an all-around beauty product.

Although aloe has medicinal and beauty benefits, it also contains certain toxins. Reports have indicated that consuming 9-15 grams of aloe can lead to poisoning, causing symptoms like nausea and diarrhea. Now, some women use raw aloe as a main course. In the eyes of experts, this is a terrifying thing because aloe is 'cold' in nature, bitter in taste, and has a purgative effect. It can even be used externally to treat burns, which shows how deeply 'cold' it is. People with a 'cold' constitution should use it with caution. Whether eaten raw or cooked with 'warming' foods, 5 grams per day is generally enough. Remember to always peel it before eating.

4. Honeysuckle

Honeysuckle has the effect of reducing 'internal heat' and expelling 'dampness'. The lignin it contains can strongly penetrate pores, inhibit and kill bacteria, and prevent the blockage of hair follicle sebaceous ducts, which is beneficial for the excretion of sebum and prevents the accumulation of sebum that leads to pimples.

People with a weak spleen and stomach often have symptoms like indigestion, bloating, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and 'excessive fatness'. For them, it's best to use less honeysuckle. Honeysuckle is bitter and 'cold' in nature. Consuming too much can cause nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms, worsening the imbalance of the spleen and stomach. The standard dosage for honeysuckle is 10-30 grams.

5. Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemum has beauty benefits. The essential oils and chrysanthemin it is rich in can effectively inhibit the production of skin's 'black toxins' and soften epidermal cells, thus removing wrinkles and making facial skin fair and tender.

Chrysanthemum tea is probably the tea beverage people feel most at ease with, thinking anyone can drink it. This is not actually the case. Chrysanthemum is also a 'cold' medicinal herb. People with a 'deficient' constitution naturally have weak resistance and are prone to diarrhea, so it's best to drink less of it.
