Carrots, beef brisket, on fire or on fire

Whether radish and beef brisket can cause internal heat depends on the way of consumption and physical condition. Reasonable combination can help clear heat and reduce internal heat, while excessive consumption may lead to symptoms of internal heat.

Radish beef brisket contains white radish, which is cool in nature and contains mustard oil, amylase, and dietary fiber. It can promote digestion, clear heat and produce fluids, and help alleviate the symptoms of excessive heat in people with dry and hot constitution. Beef brisket, as a warm food ingredient, has a high protein content but more fat. Moderate consumption can nourish qi and blood, while excessive consumption may exacerbate internal heat. When the two are combined, the cooling effect of white radish is balanced with the warming and nourishing characteristics of beef brisket. If ginger and wolfberry are added as isothermal tonics, there is less seasoning, and the overall effect tends to be heat clearing; If heavy oil and salt cooking methods are used or if people with yin deficiency and excessive heat consume a large amount, it may induce heat reactions such as dry mouth and tongue, swollen gums, etc.

Traditional Cantonese cuisine involves adding qi regulating and digestive ingredients such as tangerine peel and hawthorn, which can enhance flavor and reduce greasiness. It is recommended that those with a hot constitution choose clear stewing and reduce the use of hot seasonings such as Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers; People with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold can increase ginger slices and pepper appropriately, which can warm the stomach and avoid radish being too cold and damaging the spleen. When consumed, pairing with cool vegetables such as winter melon and lotus root, or drinking chrysanthemum tea and green tea after meals can further balance the cold and hot properties of the diet.

Daily consumption of radish and beef brisket should be controlled at a single intake of 200-300 grams, no more than 2 times a week. People with yin deficiency constitution can increase the proportion of white radish to 1.5 times that of beef brisket, and blanch the beef brisket to remove fat before cooking. When symptoms of excessive internal heat occur, consumption should be temporarily suspended and heat clearing drinks such as pear juice and mung bean soup should be used for adjustment. If discomfort persists, it is necessary to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for constitution differentiation. Reasonable combination of radish and beef brisket not only provides high-quality protein and dietary fiber, but also has a health effect of balancing meat and vegetables.
