- Avoid raw or cold foods such as sushi, salad, cucumber, tomatoes, ice cream, and refrigerated or iced drinks. Excessive intake of fruits also may cause coldness. Refrain from eating sour fruits, such as grapefruit and oranges.
- Avoid sports that may expose the body to cold environment, such as skiing or cold-water sports.
- Stress can sometimes lead to irregular or absence of menstruation. Avoid stressful situations, or engage in stress-reducing activities, whenever possible.
