What is the best thing to eat when you have heat in your lungs?

If the human body develops some disease symptoms, it is not necessary to rely on medication to relieve these disease symptoms. In fact, some foods in life can also effectively relieve and control them. If a person does not pay attention to his diet, he is likely to get a sore throat, and the part of the body most likely to be affected by a sore throat is the lungs. So what is the best thing to eat when a person has heat in the lungs?

1. Duck

Duck meat is mild in nature, sweet and salty in taste, and has the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing the stomach. "Sui Xi Ju Diet" says that it can "nourish the yin of the five internal organs, clear away the heat of deficiency and fatigue, nourish the stomach and produce body fluid." People also believe that duck is the most ideal tonic food and is suitable for people with yin deficiency. Stewing duck meat with Northern Adenophora and lily has the function of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, clearing away heat and resolving phlegm. It is especially suitable for cough, sputum, dry mouth and throat, and tuberculosis cough caused by lung heat and yin deficiency.

Lily has very effective lung moistening and cough relieving effects. The reason why lily has this effect is that it contains a large amount of mucus, which has a very effective effect of moisturizing and clearing away heat in the human body.

Not only is the effect very obvious, it can also completely cure the disease.
