Re: best way to say "heat/warm up" and "cool" (body)

Chinese believe some food like ginseng or wine can 「活血」 (help blood circulation) thus warm a person's body up.

hot food like hot pot, noodle soup and sticky rice can 「暖胃」(warm Stomach) thus keep a person,s body warm

 Fruit like pear and water melon can 「消暑」( relieve heat / cool body down)

Cold things like raw vegetable, popsicle and cold water would 「傷胃」( hurt stomach)
