The coldest month is October, the winter month is November, and the twelfth month is December. What should we pay attention to in our daily lives? This winter, Mr. Shui Mo will accompany you through the eleventh month of the lunar calendar in 2021.

Food customs during the snowy season

1. Marinate meat
There is an old Nanjing saying, "Light snow pickles vegetables, heavy snow pickles meat." When the Great Snow season arrives, every household is busy making salted food. At this time, the meat is pickled, one is to survive the winter, and the other is to welcome the New Year.
2. Sweet potato porridge
There is a saying among the people in northern Shandong that "when the roller is against the door, people will just drink red sticky porridge", which means that when it is cold, people will no longer visit other people's homes, but just stay at home and drink warm sweet potato porridge. Therefore, when there is heavy snow in northern Shandong, there is a custom of drinking sweet potato porridge.
3. Add sugar
There is a folk song that goes: "The candy buyers carry their sugar slowly, and a large group of people follow them during a short break." Around the Big Snow solar term, the scene of "exchanging sugar" will appear on the streets of Wenzhou. Maltose workshops in various places will provide the whole sheets of maltose they produce to small vendors who carry them on their shoulders and walk around the streets, commonly known as "tangerke".

Diet and health during the snow

1. Eat a light diet
The weather becomes even colder after the heavy snow. When the weather gets cold, people start to eat a lot of meat and fish, often eating some high-calorie foods. However, these foods often harm the human body, especially in the water-scarce winter. Eating these foods frequently will cause a lack of water and make it easier to get angry. Therefore, in order to avoid getting irritated, you should eat more light food and it is best to eat less spicy and cold food.
2. Eat more fruits
After a heavy snow, the weather becomes drier, so it is best to eat more bitter and acidic foods. At the same time, you can also eat more foods with high water content, such as some sugarcane, pears, oranges and other fruits. These not only moisturize the throat and lungs, but also prevent constipation. These foods are the best fruits in winter. You can also eat more apples. Apples are rich in vitamins and have anti-aging effects on the human body.
3. Replenish water
The weather is dry, so drinking more water can not only moisturize the stomach and intestines, but also improve the body's immunity. Drinking plenty of water every day can also help detoxify the body. However, you need to drink water in moderation and not too much. Drinking too much water can also be harmful to human health. And you can't wait until you are extremely thirsty to drink water, because at that time the body is already extremely dehydrated. Therefore, it is necessary to take in an appropriate amount of water at regular times and in a fixed amount. It is best to drink water in several times so that the water can be fully absorbed.
