　　Diet principles for Gong Han

　　1. Grasp the scale of eating cold food

　　Traditional Chinese medicine recommends that it is best to eat cold food only in the height of summer, and not to eat food just taken out of the refrigerator. But you can control this scale yourself. People with dry body and strong anger can eat more, but don’t eat too much. For example, don’t eat more than two ice creams a day.

　　2. Eat hot and cold foods in order

　　When there are two things to eat, hot and cold, it is best to eat the hot first and then the cold. If the order is reversed, the cold air will be pushed down by the hot air into the uterus, causing harm.

　　3. Distinguish cold food

　　In addition to the food taken out of the refrigerator, there are many foods that, although eaten at room temperature, are cold in nature, such as watermelon, pears, pork, mung beans, rock sugar, bitter melon, etc., even after heating. You should also eat in moderation according to the season.

　　4. Ginger tea before meals

　　Make it a habit to drink a cup of ginger tea (a piece of ginger, brewed with boiling water, and drink it while it's hot) before meals. It can actively resolve the coldness in cold foods or cold foods and help your uterus in your diet.

　　5. Food should be eaten when the palace is cold

　　Nuangong black-bone chicken is the best. It nourishes blood and dispels cold. You can also drink honey, but be sure to choose honey that dispels cold. You can eat some warming foods: longan, jujube, mutton, milk, red meat, pepper, brown sugar, ginger, black tea, etc. There are too many. Drinking more brown sugar and ginger tea will have unexpected effects.

　　If you like dietary therapy, the marinades such as ginger, cinnamon, and cumin are warming and tonic. You can add these seasonings to your daily dishes. Eating them regularly will help improve your physical condition. For example: add minced ginger to porridge and fried rice, add some cinnamon and ginger when stewing chicken, duck or ribs, which can be used for seasoning and dietary therapy.

　　In addition, red dates, longan meat, etc. are also good products for warming the palace and replenishing blood. In addition, you must pay attention to keeping warm at ordinary times and eat as little cold things as possible, such as green tea, watermelon, and cold drinks.

　　6. Avoid eating food when the palace is cold

　　Women with a cold uterus should not eat raw or cold foods. The most important thing is that the circulation of blood should be full on time and the menstrual symptoms should be normal, so that sperm can be absorbed and pregnancy can occur. Overeating raw and cold foods can easily cause cold pathogens to invade the body. Blood will stagnate when exposed to cold, which can often lead to irregular menstruation and affect pregnancy.

　　During menstruation, if the uterine veins are empty and gluttony on raw and cold food can also damage the Yang Qi, over time, the uterus will be deficient and cold, resulting in uterine cold infertility.
