Can people with spleen and stomach deficiency eat cicadas?

Generally, individuals with weak spleen and stomach are not advised to eat cicadas. The detailed explanation is as follows:

Cicadas are a type of food high in protein and low in fat. However, for those with weak spleen and stomach, they are not recommended. Cicadas are cold in nature, and consuming them may easily burden the spleen and stomach, leading to or worsening cold-related conditions, such as stomach pain and diarrhea. Additionally, cicadas are rich in protein, and many people prefer eating them fried, which increases fat intake. Individuals with weak spleen and stomach already have poor digestion, and eating cicadas may lead to indigestion more easily.

In daily diets, individuals with weak spleen and stomach should choose easily digestible foods, and avoid greasy, raw, cold, spicy, and irritating foods to reduce gastrointestinal burden and promote spleen and stomach health. It is also recommended to avoid unhygienic or spoiled foods to prevent infections or worsening of conditions.

To maintain good health, it is advisable to maintain a balanced diet with appropriate intake, while paying attention to bodily reactions, avoiding excessive consumption or eating when inappropriate.
