Does eating grapefruit increase or decrease internal heat?

Eating grapefruit can reduce internal heat and will not cause symptoms of getting a sore throat. The pulp of pomelo is cold in nature, so it will not cause a sore throat after eating it. It also has a certain effect of reducing heat, which can help improve some clinical symptoms caused by sore throat and hoarseness, and can also improve the symptoms of cough and sputum, and help relieve dryness of the lungs and excessive liver and stomach fire. However, it can only play an auxiliary therapeutic role and cannot be used as a medicine. The nutritional content of grapefruit is also relatively high. It contains a variety of trace elements and mineral components, which can supplement the nutrients needed by the body. In particular, red-fleshed grapefruit is rich in vitamin C, which is beneficial to improving physical fitness. Grapefruit contains a biologically active substance called hesperidin and naringin. After eating, this substance can help reduce blood viscosity, avoid excessive blood clot formation, help improve the symptoms of hyperlipidemia, and achieve a certain effect in preventing atherosclerosis. You can eat some grapefruit appropriately in daily life, but because this substance is cold in nature, people with weak spleen and stomach or weak constitution should try to avoid excessive intake, otherwise it will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and may also cause various symptoms such as increased frequency of bowel movements and abdominal pain.
