Can you eat hotpot whenever you want? Eating hot pot depends on your physique

I believe that many of my friends have a special liking for hot pot. Even in the hot summer, the business of hot pot restaurants will not be too bad. But you may not know that there are also some etiquettes for eating hot pot. Next, follow the editor to see what kind of hot pot base people with different physiques should eat.

Everyone can eat: Chicken hot pot

Chicken hotpot is relatively simple and casual, which is actually equivalent to drinking chicken soup. Regardless of whether the soup base is made with American ginseng or other medicinal materials, it is recommended that the chicken soup should not be cooked for too long, otherwise it is easy to produce high purine. A chicken weighs one or two pounds, which is enough for four people. In fact, eating half a pound of chicken for one person is already exceeding the standard. If people with "three highs" also want to eat chicken hotpot, they can choose to peel the chicken, blanch it, and then add vegetables to cook it.

For those who are thin, seafood hot pot

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, most seafood is cool and contains a lot of collagen, which makes it greasy. Therefore, seafood hotpot is most suitable for thin people. Because "thin people have more fire, fat people have more phlegm". If thin people eat some nourishing or warm food or medicine, they are often prone to getting inflamed, and have symptoms such as mouth ulcers, dry mouth, and constipation. However, seafood tends to be cold, so it is most suitable for thin people or those with yin deficiency. It is both nutritious and nourishing to the yin.

It is worth noting that seafood hot pot is not suitable for people with heavy dampness. For example, if they feel tired when waking up, feel unwell all over, have thick white tongue coating with tooth marks, and have loose stools, these indicate that there is dampness in the body, and eating seafood will aggravate the dampness. In addition, fatty liver, asthma, hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are all related to dampness and phlegm, and are not suitable for eating seafood hot pot. Among them, people with high uric acid are particularly not suitable for eating seafood hot pot, because the purine content in seafood hot pot is too high, which can easily induce gout attacks.

Food for people with “three highs”: mushroom hotpot

Mushroom hotpot is healthier, the soup is delicious but not fat-free. Even if you eat too much, it won’t be as greasy as if you eat too much meat. Therefore, mushroom hotpot meets the needs of those people who want to eat hotpot but do not want to eat big fish and meat and pursue health. It is recommended to choose mixed mushrooms for hot pot, and add a little bit of each, so that the nutritional combination is more balanced.

However, the biggest problem with mushroom hotpot is that it only smells good, but the boiled mushroom soup base may not have much taste. Therefore, in order to make the taste richer, merchants may use broth base or chicken broth base. It is worth noting that the delicious mushroom soup is also high in purine, so people with high uric acid should not drink the soup.

For people with cold hands and feet: mutton hotpot

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that mutton is warm in nature, but it also has two aspects of nourishing yin and replenishing yang in winter. It is very suitable for women who have insufficient yin and blood, frozen hands and feet, dysmenorrhea, and weak constitution. When eating mutton hotpot, most people choose a combination of meat and vegetables. If you usually have a hot constitution, you can pair it with some cold vegetables, such as lettuce, spinach, lettuce, radish, tofu, tomato, baby cabbage, etc. If you usually have a weak constitution, you can eat vegetables with warm or neutral nature, such as chrysanthemum, coriander, Chinese cabbage, konjac, enoki mushrooms, potatoes, etc.
