People with weak spleen and stomach should pay attention to maintenance in their daily life, and they should avoid eating cold and cool foods because these foods will only further weaken the spleen and stomach. Therefore, we need to protect our spleen and stomach. Besides cold and cool foods, what else should we avoid eating?
Foods with cold properties
Foods such as sandalwood, radish, coriander, duck meat, turtle meat, milk, sesame, etc., are prone to obstructing the transformation and transportation function of the spleen, promoting the accumulation of qi, and are easy to consume the spleen qi.
Sour foods
Because sour foods enter the liver, they will make the liver qi more excessive. The liver is the element that restrains the earth element of the spleen, so this will make the weak even weaker. Therefore, people with symptoms of weak spleen such as poor digestion, loose stools, and low voice should eat less sour foods. If you have stomach ulcers or excessive stomach acid, you should also avoid eating them, as it may worsen the symptoms.
Avoid spicy foods
People with weak spleen and stomach should avoid eating cold, icy, and spicy foods, as they can disturb the esophagus and cause a burning sensation, similar to the feeling of something burning inside.
Ice cream
Eating excessive ice cream can cause abdominal pain because it contains a high amount of fat, which is more difficult to digest than other foods.
Raw onions
Onions and other foods like garlic, leeks, and spring onions contain rich plant-based compounds. Some of these compounds have functions that can protect the heart, but some may cause abdominal pain.
Citrus juice
This acidic beverage can disturb the digestive tract and stimulate sensitive nerves, causing a feeling similar to acid reflux, but it is actually just an interference.
Poor spleen and stomach function can lead to dull and dark facial skin. Only by taking care of the digestive system can we have good complexion.
