Introduction

Many people ask what fruits are good to eat in winter? Because many friends feel that every winter, they find that their skin is dry, they feel dizzy and sleepy, and their reaction ability is reduced. This is why we must eat fruits in winter. So, what fruits are good to eat in winter?

★Seasons and Fruits

The air in the air-conditioned room is dry in winter, which often makes people feel uncomfortable with dry nose and throat. At this time, if you can eat some fruits that can promote salivation and quench thirst, moisten the throat and remove dryness, you will feel refreshed and comfortable.

The fruits with health and medical properties in winter are pears and sugar cane. Pears can lower blood pressure, clear away heat and calm the nerves. They are especially suitable for coughs, wind-heat in children, sore throats, and dry stools. In addition, other fruits suitable for winter include apples, oranges, bananas, and hawthorns. Apples can promote the production of body fluids and quench thirst, harmonize the spleen and stop diarrhea; oranges can regulate qi and stimulate appetite, help digestion and reduce phlegm; bananas can clear away heat and moisten the intestines, lower blood pressure and prevent hemorrhoids; hawthorns can protect blood vessels, lower blood lipids, strengthen and regulate the myocardium, and have the effect of preventing and treating coronary artery infection.

★Eating fruit options

People with indigestion and high blood pressure can eat more fruits such as hawthorn, peach, orange, etc.; they can eat more fruits such as pomegranate and persimmon; people with insomnia and nightmares can eat more fruits such as longan, lychee, walnut, jujube, etc.; people who get angry can eat more apples, etc.

★When to eat fruit

When should we eat fruit? Some people think that eating fruit after meals is a good habit. However, recent studies have found that this is not true. Fruit eaten after meals is easily blocked in the stomach by the food eaten earlier, causing symptoms such as bloating and constipation, which have a negative impact on digestion. Therefore, it is better to eat fruit before meals. Moreover, because fruit is usually eaten raw, eating it before meals can protect the body's immune system from the adverse stimulation of cooked food, which is very beneficial to the immune system.

In addition, some fruits should not be eaten on an empty stomach or with oily foods. For example, persimmons contain red tannins, which solidify into "persimmon stones" when exposed to acid, which can easily lead to "gastric stones". In general, fruits should be eaten raw, and the fresher they are, the richer the nutrition. However, if the patient is critically ill, they can also be cooked.

★Fruit consumption frequency and quantity

How many times a day should an average person eat fruit?

The latest scientific research proves that eating vegetables and fruits several times a day (at least 5 times) can prevent cancer.

Some countries have also launched a campaign to eat fruit five times a day. The international recommendation for per capita fruit and vegetable consumption is five units, that is, two units of fruit plus three units of vegetables. That is, one cup of juice, one medium-sized fruit or one bowl of diced fruit, strawberries or cooked vegetables can all be considered one unit.

According to our Chinese customs, eating about 500 grams of vegetables and fruits a day is enough to meet the body's needs.

Vegetables and fruits are vital to people's health. Different vegetables and fruits have different ingredients, so eating a variety of them can help absorb more nutrients.
