In this way, the food in the pot cannot be cooked, and the food eaten in it is not easy to digest, and the spleen and stomach must be overloaded, and the spleen and stomach will be damaged after a long time, and slowly you may have a white and greasy tongue, mild abdominal pain and diarrhea, and severe nausea and vomiting.
If you want to relieve the discomfort symptoms, it is best to drink some ginger soup, and if you are nauseous and want to vomit, you can also drink some Huoxiang Zhengqi water.
In addition, when eating cold drinks, it is best to hold them in your mouth for a while, which can reduce the irritation of cold drinks to the spleen and stomach.
