Can they eat the same fruit?

As we know,different people have different physical。So can they have the same kind of fruit?


  • No, they can't.
    My cousin's lips are always dry after eating oranges. And her mother says she eats too many oranges each time.She loves oranges too much.Now I think maybe she is in a hot body.

  • No,they can't.
    Different physical people different kinds of fruits.
    The person whose constitution is hot and dry appropriately eats slant cold fruit,such as pear, banana, watermelon, cantaloup and so on.And if you eat too much hot fruit,the heat inside the body will increase and you'll suffer from hotness. The person whose constitution slants cold appropriately eats litchi, longan, cherry, chestnut to replenish his body with heat he needs.

    strawberries and papayas
    Watermelon is cold fruit.And cold fruit and ice-off juice will make constriction of bronchial tubes which touches up his cough of cold.Then his cold will be worse.So I choose strawberries and papayas.
