Can cold-natured fruits be consumed together with tea?

    In general, whether cooling fruits can be consumed together with tea depends on specific circumstances. People with a relatively hot body constitution can usually consume them together in moderation. However, those with a cold body constitution or who consume excessive amounts should avoid combining them. Detailed analysis is as follows:

    For individuals with a hot body constitution who are prone to internal heat, it is generally fine to consume cooling fruits together with neutral-type tea in moderate amounts. Cooling fruits can help clear internal heat and stimulate body-fluid production, while tea can refresh the mind and quench thirst. When consumed together, they can achieve a certain heat-clearing effect without causing noticeable discomfort, while also replenishing water and nutrients.

    For individuals with a cold body constitution who frequently experience discomfort such as abdominal pain and diarrhea, or those who consume excessive amounts of cooling fruits together with strongly cooling teas, this practice is not recommended. Combining cooling fruits with cooling teas may intensify coldness in the body, irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa, and lead to discomfort such as abdominal distension and diarrhea, particularly in individuals with weak spleen and stomach function.

    To better maintain gastrointestinal health, it's important to appropriately combine foods according to one's own body constitution. Additionally, attention should be paid to the temperature of consumed beverages to avoid excessive coldness, and developing good dietary habits can help promote overall physical well-being.
