It's cold and hot

1. Drinking Chili oil to keep warm in cold weather can also be said to be a way. But the prevention of colds can't be said. In a sense, the dry weather in the north is not suitable for eating spicy things like peppers. If you eat too much, you will easily get angry and catch a cold. The way to prevent colds is to strengthen outdoor physical exercise, often open windows for ventilation to keep the indoor air fresh, adhere to good living habits, get enough sleep, be in a good mood and moderately increase or decrease clothes, eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, have a light diet, and quit smoking or smoke less without drinking strong liquor. 2. National Compilation of Chinese Herbal Medicine: In the cold winter, many people like to eat Chili to keep out the cold. According to traditional medicine, although pepper can dispel cold, stop dysentery, kill insects, stimulate appetite and promote digestion, attention should be paid to the harmony of five flavors (sour, bitter, sweet, pungent and salty) in diet. Too much passion for pepper will easily lead to imbalance between yin and yang of viscera and produce diseases. Excessive lung qi has the functions of xuanhua, promoting qi circulation and promoting blood circulation. Eating too much can easily lead to excessive lung qi, consuming gas and yin, leading to decreased immunity and catching a cold, with symptoms such as dry throat, red eyes, burning nose, dry mouth and tongue pain, rotten mouth, nosebleeds and toothache.
