Why Avoid Fruit When You Have a Cough?
đ Too Cold in Nature
Most fruits are cooling. When youâre coughingâoften due to cold pathogensâeating fruit can trap that cold inside the body.
đ Adds Dampness
Fruit is also heavy in dampness. This extra dampness can make phlegm worse and prolong your cough.
đ Weakens the Digestive System
With low yang energy, the body is prone to phlegm and fluid retention, especially in children. Eating fruit while coughing can further weaken the spleen and stomach, making recovery much harder.
