Low humidity in winter slows down the body's metabolism, making it easy to experience dehydration, with symptoms such as dry skin and irritated mucous membranes.
Cooking with fruit can solve this problem. Common fruits for cooking include pineapple, apple, and kiwi. The moisture in these fruits is not easily lost during cooking, helping the body rehydrate. Additionally, these fruits contain fruit acids, which are rarely found in vegetables, aiding in the absorption of meat protein and greatly benefiting gastrointestinal function.
Here are a few recipe recommendations: Pineapple can be used to make Sweet and Sour Pork; Apple can be stir-fried with carrots, loofah, and zucchini; and Kiwi can be paired with steak or threaded with pork to make kiwi and pork skewers.
