What are the dietary treatments for spleen deficiency cough?

Health care knowledge for spleen deficiency cough

1. If you have a cough and your spleen is weak, eat less pears and more pears to strengthen your spleen. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people who suffer from diarrhea due to spleen deficiency and dampness, and people who suffer from lung cold, cough and sticky phlegm should eat less fruits that nourish yin and retain moisture, otherwise their symptoms will be aggravated. For example, many people know that eating pears can produce body fluid, moisten dryness, clear away heat, resolve phlegm, and relieve alcohol. It can be used for symptoms such as dry cough, thirst, and constipation caused by heat disease damaging yin or yin deficiency. It can also be used for symptoms such as thirst, cough, asthma, and yellow phlegm caused by internal heat. However, since snow pear nourishes yin, people with yang deficiency and phlegm-dampness should eat less of it, while those with spleen deficiency and cold cough should completely avoid it. However, foods such as coix seed and white lentil which can strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, and bitter almonds which can eliminate phlegm can still be eaten at this time.

2. Avoid cold foods. People with yang deficiency should also not eat bananas which are cold and damp in nature, or any fruit stored in the refrigerator. People with cough and spleen deficiency should focus on warming the yang in their diet. Those with phlegm and dampness should eliminate phlegm and dampness. If people with these two body types need to "replenish water", they can eat carambola, papaya, and peach. People with yang deficiency can also eat dragon fruit and oranges, but people with phlegm and dampness, or damp heat, should not eat oranges. Apple is the best fruit and is suitable for all body types.

3. Avoid spicy food. It is also important to remind you that in addition to the main principle of nourishing with food to relieve dryness, if the lung qi is strong, eating more spicy food will make the lung qi stronger and damage the liver. The liver is responsible for acidity, so you should eat more sour fruits and foods to protect the liver qi.
