Hot fruits in summer include lichees, peaches, longans, guavas, cherries, coconuts, durians and apricots. In addition to being delicious, hot fruits-such as lichees, longans and pricots--are popular during the lary days of summer. They are especially beneficial to people who lack energy and those whose spleens cannot function normally.
As these people have low base rates of metabolism, and as their bodies produce comparatively less heat, their limbs feel cold even in summer. They tend to be pale, more so than the average person, and they seldom feel thirsty. They are also reluctant to touch cold things, and they prefer not to enter rooms when air-conditioners are turned on.
Therefore, hot fruits can be served as excellent tonics to these people. However,the average person should not eat. too many hot fruits during the summer, or they might begin to suffer from excessive internal heat. Energetic people, who have quick metabolism rates, and children, who have fevers and/or suffer from inflammation, should not eat hot fruits.
