Why does hot pot cause internal heat

In life, many people like to eat hot pot, especially in southern my country. Most people like to eat hot pot with a spicy taste, because such hot pot not only tastes better, but also can remove moisture from the body. Because there are more peppers in the hot pot, plus the weather is hot, it is easy to get angry. So why do I get angry when I eat hot pot?

One reason for getting a sore throat after eating hot pot is the spicy soup or seasoning. Spicy food can cause digestive disorders in the spleen and stomach, generate dryness, heat and dampness internally, and lead to problems such as constipation and hemorrhoids. Spicy foods can also cause acute inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in sore throat, erythema, dryness and desquamation of the skin, and can also induce swollen and painful gums, erosion at the corners of the mouth, chapped lips, oral ulcers, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc. Therefore, it is better to give up the temporary pleasure of taste and not eat or eat less spicy food. Especially patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers, stomatitis, chronic pharyngitis, chronic pancreatitis, cholecystitis, as well as those with yin deficiency and internal heat who usually have hot hands and feet, and night sweats during sleep, should eat spicy food in moderation.

The second reason for getting a sore throat after eating hotpot is unscientific selection of food in the hotpot. Many people like to eat hot pot with high-calorie foods such as mutton, beef, and dog meat, which of course will "burn themselves". Scientific food selection should be to eat more foods that clear heat and nourish yin, and choose foods with lower calories, such as chicken, fish, seafood, etc. At the same time, it must be accompanied by plenty of green leafy vegetables. Most vegetables are cold in nature, which can not only eliminate greasiness and replenish vitamins for the human body, but also have the effects of cooling, detoxifying and removing heat. Eating some tofu appropriately can increase the intake of macroelements calcium and magnesium, and also has the effects of clearing away heat, purging fire, relieving restlessness and quenching thirst, which can alleviate the symptoms of getting angry. If you add some lotus seeds to the hot pot, it will not only help balance the nutrition, but also have the effects of nourishing the body, clearing the mind and relieving heat.

The third reason for getting inflamed after eating hot pot is blindly eating nourishing hot pot. In recent years, some hotels have put up signs such as "medicinal cuisine" and "nourishing hot pot" to attract customers. In fact, these medicinal nourishing hotpots are not suitable for everyone. Improper consumption will not only fail to achieve the nourishing and fitness effects, but may also harm your health. Medicinal diet is not a simple addition of food and Chinese medicine, but is a refined combination of medicine, food and seasonings under the guidance of the theory of syndrome differentiation and diet planning in traditional Chinese medicine. It is impossible for each diners at a table to have exactly the same physical condition, so it is obviously inappropriate for everyone to eat the same medicinal food. For example, "Adenophora, Polygonatum, and Old Duck Soup" is suitable for patients with dry lungs, dry coughs, constipation, etc., but it may have the opposite effect on those with yang deficiency and cold phlegm. If you like nourishing hot pot, you might as well ask a Chinese medicine doctor for advice so that you can have a clear understanding of the "yin and yang tonic and purgative". Before eating hot pot, you must find out what Chinese medicine is in the pot so that you can choose.
