Recipe for refreshing and detoxifying fruit juice during hot weather.

When it comes to eating, there are a few things to keep in mind:

Therefore, it is necessary to avoid or limit the consumption of foods and dishes that can increase internal heat, easily leading to certain diseases caused by excessive heat, such as: spicy dishes with too many spices (curry, ginger, garlic, etc.); and fruits that are considered yang in nature and very sweet (longan, mango, jackfruit, etc.).
