After winter begins, many people often experience dry skin, dizziness, drowsiness, and reduced reaction time. At this point, eating fruits that promote saliva production, quench thirst, and moisten the throat can make one feel refreshed and comfortable. So, what fruits are good to eat in the winter? When it comes to fruits with health-preserving and medicinal properties, pears and sugarcane are the top choices.
Pears have functions such as moistening the throat, promoting saliva production, moistening the lungs to relieve coughs, and nourishing the intestines. They are most suitable for people with fevers and internal heat during the winter and spring seasons. They are particularly effective for relieving lung-heat coughs, pediatric wind-heat, dry throat and sore throat, and constipation. Pears are rich in sugar and vitamins and have liver-protecting and digestion-aiding effects. However, because pears are cold-natured, people with weak spleens and stomachs, poor digestion, or postpartum blood deficiency should not eat them in large quantities.

Sugarcane has the effect of nourishing and clearing heat and is rich in nutrients. As a cooling tonic, it has a certain therapeutic effect on treating hypoglycemia, constipation, difficult urination, nausea and vomiting, deficient-heat cough, and high fever with irritability and thirst. However, due to its cold nature, people with a weak spleen and stomach or stomach and abdominal pain should avoid eating it.
