Do not eat or eat less foods processed with whole milk, cream, egg yolk, butter, lard, tallow, mutton fat, and coconut oil. Eat less sweet drinks and cream cakes as much as possible, and reduce the intake of greasy food;

Avoid eating too much sauce, pickles, etc.

Avoid raw, cold, spicy and irritating foods

Avoid white wine, pepper, spicy hot pot, and hot foods such as strong tea, mung beans, lamb, dog meat, etc.
