Producing fluid and moistening dryness is the key
0 When the frost falls, it has entered late autumn. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this season belongs to the "gold" in the five elements, corresponding to the lungs. On the other hand, the climate characteristics of the Frost Descent Solar Period are still dominated by dry air, while the dry climate environment can easily consume the body's body fluids and enter the lungs from the mouth and nose first. Therefore, dietary health care should be paid attention to balanced supplements at this time.
nutritionist Ma Xiuling, a nutritionist from Urumqi Nutritionist Association, believes that after the frost drop, it is a good time to nourish and nourish the body and moisten the body.
