Hot vs Cold๐
Do you find yourself always drinking or eating cold food?
In TCM, that is not a good thing as it may hinder your digestion and energy overtime. This is because in TCM, the weather can affect the body in many ways so properly balancing the things you eat with the timing of the year matters deeply.
For example, if one keeps drinking a lot of iced drinks and raw vegetables in winter, the outside cold and the food's coldness can deplete your digestion because the stomach would have to reheat the food and digest it again. However, having raw food or a smaller amount of cooler food in Summer is better because the environment is warmer.๐
