　　What to eat for moisturizing in autumn

　　Grapefruit

　　It is often said that grapefruit can regulate qi, resolve phlegm, moisten the lungs and relieve constipation. In fact, the benefits of grapefruit go far beyond that. Grapefruit is also rich in protein, sugar, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin C, vitamin P, carotene, potassium, calcium, phosphorus and other nutrients. The various ingredients contained in grapefruit are of great help to human health and disease prevention. For example, the naringin contained in it can reduce the viscosity of blood, thereby reducing the formation of thrombus, and has a good effect on preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

　　Delicious grapefruit is a favorite of many people. If you like to eat grapefruit, you might as well try cooking it. What needs to be cooked is not the pulp of the grapefruit, but the skin of the grapefruit. Grapefruit peel contains flavonoids such as naringin and rutin, which have antioxidant effects and can reduce blood viscosity, lose weight, and resist aging. It will be more active when heated into the body.

　　chestnut

　　Chestnut, commonly known as chestnut, is a specialty of my country and is known as the "King of Dried Fruits". It is also known as "Ginseng Fruit" abroad. It may be difficult for people to imagine that fresh chestnuts contain more vitamin C than tomatoes, which are recognized to be rich in vitamin C, and more than ten times that of apples! Chestnuts also contain comprehensive minerals, including potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, manganese, etc. Although they are not as high as hazelnuts and melon seeds, they are still much higher than ordinary fruits such as apples and pears, especially potassium, which is four times higher than apples that are said to be rich in potassium.

　　The main ways to eat chestnuts are raw or stir-fried with sugar. Cooked chestnuts can harmonize with the stomach, strengthen the spleen, and relieve spleen deficiency. Chestnut kernels are steamed and ground into powder to make cakes, which are suitable for children who eat less and are thin to increase appetite and regulate their stomach. Cooking porridge with chestnuts and japonica rice is not only beneficial to the early recovery of patients with chronic diarrhea caused by deficiency of the spleen and stomach, but is also a dietary prescription for the elderly with indigestion and qi deficiency.

　　Grape

　　Traditional Chinese medicine believes that grapes can replenish qi and blood, produce fluid and quench thirst, strengthen the spleen and diuresis. After the human body has experienced a hot and humid summer, a large amount of toxins have accumulated in the body, and the internal heat is heavy and the body is sleepy. Grapes have a good diuretic effect. In early autumn, eating more appropriately can help the body excrete toxins and eliminate internal heat.

　　“From a nutritional point of view, this jingle should be changed to "Eat grapes without spitting out the skins and seeds." Grape skins and grape seeds contain most of the nutrients in grapes, so it is best to eat grapes whole. If you feel that the taste is not good, you can squeeze the grapes and seeds into grape juice and drink it.

　　persimmon

　　Autumn is the best time to taste persimmons. Persimmons are suitable for all ages. They are sweet and delicious, rich in nutrients, and contain a large amount of carotene, vitamin C, glucose, fructose and mineral elements such as iodine, calcium, phosphorus and iron. They also have high medicinal value. Fresh persimmons, persimmon cakes, persimmon frost, persimmon bases and persimmon leaves can all be used as medicine.

　　In addition to eating persimmons raw, you can also consider drinking some persimmon and black bean soup. Boil persimmons and black beans together for 20 minutes before eating. It not only tastes good, but also has the effect of clearing away heat and relieving cough. Chop some pineapple and persimmons, mix them with walnut kernels, raisins, candied dates, and add sugar or honey to make stuffed persimmons, which is definitely a delicious snack on the dinner table.
