If you’re into acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, yin and yang, and related topics, you might be wondering which foods increase internal heat (hot / yang), and which have a cooling effect on your body (cold / yin)…
Before, I thought all water-y fruits are cold. But it turns out, grape is actually hot (according to What Are Heaty And Cooling Foods?). This is probably due to the sugar content of grapes.
Argh. No wonder I have so much internal heat. I enjoy these too much: red and green pepper, chicken, coconut, coffee, garlic, ham, peach, shrimp, vinegar, walnut, mangoes.
It’s time to find some balance in our diet…
