Dr. Zhang Xiuhong
Here are several recommended methods to reduce internal heat:
1. Balanced diet: Increase the intake of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, while reducing consumption of spicy, fried, high-sugar, and high-fat foods, which can help lower inflammatory responses in the body. Foods rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory components, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids, are particularly helpful in alleviating symptoms of internal heat.
2. Adequate hydration: Maintaining sufficient water intake helps promote metabolism, eliminate toxins from the body, and relieve symptoms of internal heat caused by dehydration.
3. Regular sleep patterns: Ensuring adequate sleep duration and quality, and avoiding staying up late, helps regulate the body's biological clock and endocrine system, reducing internal heat caused by sleep deprivation.
4. Moderate exercise: Regular aerobic activities, such as brisk walking, swimming, or cycling, can strengthen cardiovascular and respiratory functions, improve blood circulation, and help reduce levels of inflammation in the body.
If symptoms are severe or do not improve, seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's instructions for treatment.
