So, will drink milk cause yang deficiency?

This is often related to its own body yang. When the spleen and yang are insufficient and wet, the human body is unable to turn off the coldness of milk. If you continue to drink milk at this time, the symptoms of spleen deficiency and cold and dampness will increase, which may cause yang deficiency over time.

"Spring and summer Yangyang" means that in spring and summer, the yang is relatively sufficient in nature. We must follow the nature of the world. Try not to eat cold things to damage the spleen and yang. It is possible to blow the air conditioner appropriately, but the temperature should not be too low.
