What to eat for women with Yin deficiency and blood heat

People with Yin deficiency and blood heat constitution should pay attention to their mentality and not get angry often. In terms of diet, they should eat more nourishing foods with neutral properties and eat less spicy and hot foods. Let's discuss the reasonable diet for Yin deficiency constitution.

Suitable ingredients

People with Yin deficiency should eat more clear and nourishing foods, foods that are mild and nourishing, and foods that promote the production of body fluids and quench thirst and nourish Yin. They should eat fruits and vegetables or foods high in fiber and vitamins. They should eat foods rich in protein, such as glutinous rice, mung bean, lotus root, water spinach, cabbage, fungus, white fungus, tofu, sugar cane, pear, melon, loofah, lily, yam, cuttlefish, etc. This kind of food, Poria cocos, has many benefits, such as sweet, cold and cool in nature, and has the effect of nourishing the body's yin energy. It can be appropriately combined with yin-replenishing medicinal food for targeted conditioning.

Avoid eating ingredients

Avoid spicy food, hot pot, chicken breast, hot and dry food, fried food, hot and irritating food, and food with too high fat and carbohydrate content. People with yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire should eat less spicy food, and should also eat less fried, deep-fried, and roasted foods. Among fresh fruits, they should avoid longan meat and lychee. Yang deficiency is the only one that does not require the prohibition of eating cold food. Cold food has a regulating effect on Yang deficiency. Of course, it is encouraged to eat more but not too much.

In the Tang Dynasty medical classic "Daoist Canon", Dendrobium was listed as "the first of the nine immortal herbs of the Chinese nation". Dendrobium can nourish the yang deficiency of the five internal organs of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. It has been included in the royal offerings since the Southern Dynasties. In the 1980s, Dendrobium was listed as a key protected endangered medicinal plant by the state.

It also says: "Thirst is quenched because of internal heat and insufficient body fluid. It produces body fluid to quench thirst and thus quenches thirst. The five internal organs are all yin, so it benefits the five internal organs by benefiting yin." It is especially suitable for people with kidney deficiency who experience thirst, blurred vision and tinnitus.

Raw pork has the effect of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs. Wang Mengying, a Chinese medicine doctor in the Qing Dynasty, said: "Raw pork replenishes the kidneys and strengthens yang fluid, replenishes gastric juice, nourishes yin and blood, moisturizes the skin, and quenches thirst."

If they change to Korean ginseng, it will be more suitable for them as it can clear and nourish qi, blood and yin.
