Do you think DATY is considered 熱氣 (yeet hei, )?
Recently I have been bothered by a nagging, dry cough for a few weeks. My throat and tongue were always dry and tingly. I wasn't sure how I got the cough.
At first, I thought the frequent going out, drinking alot, sleeping little weakened my body, which made me susceptible to a cold. But then I thought I have been doing the above for decades now and I rarely had a nagging dry cough.
Then yesterday at after a long session of daty at GFS, I found myself gasping for air. My mouth and tongue were so dry and thankfully the girl had placed a cup of tea on the table. It clicked, my coughing fit started weeks ago after a long, late session of daty and not getting enough sleep to recover. When I thought I was getting over the coughing it would come back with vengeance and once again that was after another late night session of daty when thankfully there was a bottle of water on hand.
Maybe frequent indulging of daty is (熱氣) Heaty, just like deep fried foods, bbq, and hot pot? You know a girl's juices usually have a salty flavour and salt is known for drying and preserving meats. Maybe I have been intaking too much salt which dried me out?
What do the Chinese bros think? Any possible remedies, short of not doing daty for awhile?
ps: To the bros who don't understand (熱氣, yeet hei) Heaty, it is Chinese medicine concept to describe a cooking style or foods that have a tendency to make the body drier leading to sore throats, acne, other illnesses. To counter it, one has to eat something that is cooler or reduce intake of heaty dishes so the body can seek a healthy balance. It is really difficult to explain, and generally the older one is, the easier it is to understand as older ppl are more sensitive to how their bodies react to different foods, stimuli, etc. | |
