Cool Hot Food Before Eating
The academic journal, "Medicine and People" wrote in its findings that people who often consume hot and spicy food risk oral mucosal damage, and over the long-term, such eating habits can damage the oral mucosa, and potentially raise oral cancer incidences. In addition, food that is piping hot may damage the esophagus mucous membrane, and in extreme cases, the esophagus may blister, fester or bleed, inducing cancer over an extended period.
A Vancouver student, who experienced constipation early in her pregnancy did not improve until she attended Bodhi meditation class.The reason for her constipation, besides the pregnancy, is that she often ate barbecue and fried food. While such food may taste flavorful, it also embodies excessive energy of the "fire" element. Especially when such food is eaten hot, the heat in combination with the excessive fire energy in the food, would be passed to the stomach akin to having swallowed a raging fire that is so extremely difficult to pass out. I've been advocating the approach of allowing hot food to cool before consumption. It is best to allow, say the hot rice to cool awhile before eating to enable absorption of nutrients and ease excretion.
The Chinese have a habit: they particularly enjoy eating food hot, often eager to consume hot rice, hot soup, hot noodles, and hot dumplings. Actually, this adversely affect our health. Cooked rice should ideally be cooled to below 60°C before consuming. Let us all try - our body will feel much more at ease.
.熱食冷吃
《藥物與人》學術期刊曾提及常吃「燙」、「辣」的食物容易造成口腔黏膜損害，長期吃會刺激口腔黏膜，更有誘發口腔癌的疑慮。又高溫食物也會損傷食道黏膜，嚴重時導致食道起泡、潰爛、出血，反復如此便會誘發癌症。
有一位溫哥華的學員，從懷孕初期就開始便秘，直到來參加禪修後才有所改善。她便秘的原因，除了懷孕之外，還因為她常吃烤肉和油炸食物。這些東西吃起來雖然很香，但是也直接將火的能量傳到食物上，尤其是趁熱吃的時候，火和食物的能量一結合，吃到了肚子裡頭，就像吞了一把火一樣，身體很難將它排出來。我一直在宣導「熱食涼吃」的概念。最好的經驗就是把熱飯放涼了再吃，第一，不影響營養的吸收；第二，這些食物吃得進去，也能出得來。
中國人有一個習慣，就是特別喜歡吃熱的東西，常搶著吃熱飯、熱湯、熱麵、熱餃子，其實這樣對身體健康是不好的。煮熟了的飯，放涼了再吃是最好的，起碼在60℃以下，大家可以試試看，會覺得身體輕鬆許多。
