Diet & Prevention

Practice deep breathing using your nose, not your mouth. Do light exercises like yoga or walking daily to keep your body and immune system strong. Eat balanced meals with yin and yang foods like cooked vegetables and meat.  

It is best to avoid eating uncooked and cold foods like salad, sushi, smoothies, and ice cream; greasy or fried foods like chips, fries, and cheese; pungent or heavily seasoned foods like kimchi, curries, and barbeque; and spicy foods like salsa, sriracha, and hot peppers. No smoking, alcohol, and coffee. No cold or iced beverages.
