In fact, this is called "yin deficiency and internal heat" in Chinese medicine. "Yin deficiency" means that body fluids such as blood, tears, saliva, oil and endocrine can't work normally, resulting in poor blood circulation, cold hands and feet, dry eyes due to undeveloped tears, dry mouth and dry skin due to secretion of saliva and oil, and endocrine hormones can't work normally, so people will feel lazy and depressed.
And "internal heat" means that there is too much heat in the body, which cannot be distributed normally and deposited in the body. It usually appears together with "Yin deficiency", because Yin deficiency is the lack of body fluid, and naturally there is no way to emit too much heat, so there will be cases where hands and feet are easy to get cold, but in fact the body is very hot.
According to the data of health education in the General Hospital of China, the attending physician of Chinese medicine said that this kind of constitution of "yin deficiency and internal heat" is usually due to too much work pressure and excessive thinking, as well as symptoms such as emaciation, difficulty sleeping, dry mouth, palpitation, dizziness, tinnitus or constipation, and yellow urine.
People who use several foods to change the "yin deficiency and internal heat" in summer should pay special attention not to eat too "hot" foods, such as sesame oil, wine, coffee, fried, spicy and so on; Don't eat too "cold" food, such as drinks and ice products, because your body is already intertwined with heat and deficiency. If you aggravate one of them, it will only make the situation worse.
But this kind of people need to clear away heat and nourish yin, so the best way is to eat some cold but not cold food to help clear away heat, and at the same time supplement yin deficiency with foods with more body fluids. For example, supplementing warm water close to body temperature, or eating some thick, thin, sticky or sour foods can help the body get the nutrients it needs, but remember "don't eat ice", preferably close to body temperature.

However, because everyone has different internal heat due to yin deficiency, some people may eat it several times, and the internal heat will be cleared and the yin deficiency will be supplemented. Eating too much will make the body really cold and lead to yang deficiency, so they can't eat the same food all the time, preferably 1~2 days.
If the internal heat is really serious, the whole body is too hot to sleep at night, and the mood is very uncomfortable. It is suggested that you can drink more heat-clearing soup, but because these soups are cold, you can't drink more. It is best to consult Chinese medicine before deciding:
