Recipes are educational, not medical advice. Hot recipes are best in small amounts and in cold weather; skip them if you run hot. Cold recipes suit hot days; if your digestion is weak, eat them at room temperature or add a slice of ginger. Check for food allergies and medication interactions (for example grapefruit). Ask Dr. Eon Suhanee, D.Ac, which foods suit your constitution: call or text 631-210-6193.
