Therefore, it is advisable to drink small amounts of water at regular intervals, with each sip not exceeding 300 milliliters.
Overeating greasy foods: After suffering from heatstroke, one should not consume greasy or salty foods as they would increase the burden on the digestive system and cause a large amount of blood to accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract, making it difficult for blood to be transported to the brain.

Overeating spicy foods: In summer, the Yang energy is surging outside, and the lack of Yin fluids. The spicy, dry, and hot foods only exacerbate this condition by adding heat to the Yang. Moreover, they can cause small bumps on your delicate skin.
