Cold Dew is a sign that the weather is turning cooler. During the Cold Dew period, the temperature will gradually drop. If the dew in the White Dew solar term in Mid-Autumn is "white", by the Cold Dew solar term in Late Autumn the dew is already "cold and about to condense" into frost. 1. Lotus root
“The lotus is a treasure, and the autumn lotus root nourishes people.” After the Cold Dew, the air becomes dry and people tend to become irritable and restless. At this time, you should eat more foods that clear the heart and moisten dryness to get rid of autumn dryness. Lotus root is rich in trace elements such as iron and calcium, plant protein, vitamins and starch. It has obvious effects of appetizing and clearing away heat, moistening dryness and quenching thirst, clearing the heart and calming the nerves, nourishing blood and invigorating qi, and can also enhance human immunity.
2. Hawthorn: As the saying goes, "Hawthorn is harvested in Cold Dew", so hawthorn is ripe in Cold Dew season. It is the autumn fruit with the highest calcium content, with 52 mg of calcium in every 100 grams of pulp. Because children and pregnant women have a high demand for calcium, these two groups of people may wish to eat some fruit after meals to supplement calcium.
3. Honey Peaches: Cold Dew Honey Peaches are a late-ripening peach variety in the north. They mature around the time of Cold Dew, hence the name “Cold Dew Honey Peaches”. Peaches are sweet and warm in nature. Eating too much of them can cause internal heat, and in severe cases, can even cause sores on the body. People who usually have excessive internal heat and are prone to sores and boils should not eat too much of them. Adults are advised not to feed peaches to infants and young children, because peaches contain a large amount of macromolecular substances. Infants and young children have poor gastrointestinal dialysis ability and are unable to digest these substances, which can easily cause allergic reactions. In addition, it is best not to eat peaches that are not fully ripe, so as not to cause bloating or diarrhea.
4. Pomelo Pomelo is cold in nature and sour in taste. It can reduce phlegm and relieve cough, strengthen the stomach and aid digestion, reduce swelling and relieve pain. It is suitable for stomach problems, indigestion, excessive phlegm and asthma. Grapefruit is famous for being rich in vitamin C. Most of the organic acids it contains are citric acid, which has the effect of eliminating human fatigue. It is beneficial for patients with cardiovascular disease and obesity.
5. Citrus: Citrus is also the best health-preserving food during the Cold Dew season. Citrus fruits are generally available in large quantities in autumn. They also contain a large amount of vitamin B1, which plays an important role in signal transduction of the nervous system. Among the fruits that are abundant in autumn, citrus fruits are rich in vitamin B1. In addition, citrus fruits, peels, cores and roots have different pharmacological effects.
6. Pomegranate Pomegranate is a warm fruit with sweet taste and rich nutrients. Pomegranate fruit contains protein, vitamin C, organic acid, etc. It also contains minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and potassium. Pomegranate also has many functions such as helping with laughter, lowering blood lipids and blood sugar, and softening blood vessels.
7. Persimmon Persimmon has the effects of clearing away heat and promoting body fluid, moistening the lungs and relieving cough. Eating fresh persimmons raw has a good effect on symptoms such as cough with sputum, tuberculosis cough, and hemoptysis due to consumptive disease. Red and soft ripe persimmons can treat symptoms such as heat dysentery, dry mouth and sore lips, fever and thirst.
8. Crabs: One of the major customs of Cold Dew is eating crabs. Crab meat is tender and delicious, and is a top-grade and precious aquatic product. Crabs are also very nutritious. The protein content is several times higher than that of pork and fish. The content of calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamin A is also high. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that river crabs are cold in nature and salty in taste, and have the effects of clearing away heat and dispersing knots, dredging meridians and nourishing yin, nourishing the liver and kidneys, producing essence and nourishing marrow, harmonizing the stomach and digesting food, dissipating heat and dredging meridians, and strengthening tendons and bones. Boiled crabs are steamed to retain their original flavor and have high nutritional value.
