If you pay attention to your health, you may be able to count the top ten benefits of drinking coffee with your eyes closed. But from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, is coffee cold or hot? Is it suitable for you? Prone to diarrhea, is it impossible to drink coffee?

In ancient times when there was no coffee and milk tea, traditional Chinese medicine never encountered this problem. Modern Chinese medicine has different views on the properties of coffee, but some of them have reference value.

Modern Chinese medicine practitioners generally classify coffee according to the methods of "four qi, five flavors, five colors, meridian tropism", that is, they judge the properties of coffee according to their appearance, color, aroma, taste, function, and so on. Some Chinese medicine practitioners say that there is a wide variety of coffee beans and a variety of processing processes, and it is also difficult to classify coffee by the above-mentioned method. However, according to the more authoritative traditional Chinese medicine research work "Chinese Materia Medica", coffee is defined as slightly bitter, astringent and flat. In addition, some traditional Chinese medicine believe that the roasting process of coffee can be defined as temperature.

The idea that coffee is cold, cold or hot is spread on the Internet from time to time, which may have something to do with the way it is roasted and consumed. For example, cold drink coffee, of course, tends to be cold or cold. In addition, coffee beans that have been roasted for a long time are also relatively hot and dry. Therefore, if you are not sure about the nature of the coffee you drink, or if you are not clear about your constitution, it is best to control the amount of coffee you drink.

Some people suffer from diarrhea as soon as they drink coffee, and their hands and feet are often frozen. These people may consider adding spices such as cinnamon, which is warm and meridian, when drinking coffee, which can help fine-tune the nature of the coffee. As for people with diseases such as stomachache, acid reflux and stomach ulcers, it is not appropriate to drink too much coffee, because if they consume too much caffeine, they will increase the chances of stomach acid secretion, while people who are prone to insomnia, dry mouth, irritability and hot physique, it is also better to drink less coffee.

Chinese medicine practitioners also remind that if you want to give full play to the health benefits of coffee, you should pay attention to the appropriate adjustment of your physiological state at any time after drinking it. It is suggested that when choosing coffee, you should choose products that are close to the original form, that is, products that belong to ingredients rather than food.

As for the preservation of coffee beans, remind everyone that once opened, it is best to preserve them properly and drink them as soon as possible to prevent ochratoxin production. In addition, as coffee drinks are rich in oil, they are prone to decay after they are kept at room temperature for a period of time.
