Other Foods

If you have a sore throat, you should eat more bitter foods, because bitter foods are the natural enemy of fire! The best bitter food for clearing heat and detoxifying is bitter melon. It can be eaten cold, stir-fried, or made into soup. It is best if it is stir-fried until it is cooked while retaining its greenness. Alternatively, wash the bitter melon, add a little salt and sesame oil, and eat it cold. This will not destroy the nutrients in the bitter melon itself. You can also cut the bitter melon into slices to make tea or squeeze out the juice to drink. Drinking raw bitter melon juice can enable the body to quickly absorb a large amount of bitter melon's effective ingredients.

In order to make bitter melon less bitter, you can soak it in salt water before eating it. This can remove some of the bitterness and also remove some oxalic acid in the bitter melon, so as not to hinder the absorption of calcium in the food. In addition to bitter melon, other bitter foods are also worth recommending, such as almonds, bitter herbs, kuding tea, celery, buckwheat, kale, nasturtium, etc. Add fresh celery leaves to water and make a decoction, or blanch fresh celery in boiling water and then squeeze out the juice, which can also clear away heat and relieve summer heat after consumption.
