As the weather heats up, people might feel irritable and heaty, but water spinach, commonly found during summer, can help with that. Water spinach, with its slightly cool nature and sweet taste, is known for its heat-clearing, detoxifying, blood-cooling, and diuretic properties. Rich in potassium, it benefits in reducing heatiness, controlling cholesterol levels, preventing anemia with its high folate content, and reducing edema. However, it should be consumed in moderation (100-200 grams per day) to prevent kidney stone risks due to its oxalate content.
