Do you sometimes feel a dry mouth, as if drinking more water doesn't solve the problem? In such cases, you need to eat more hydrating fruits. Different fruits have different nutritional values and effects. Today, I recommend these five foods to moisturize, detoxify, and improve your complexion...
Health Persimmon
Everyone knows that tangerines are a delicious autumn fruit. They are warm in nature, sweet and sour in taste, and have the effects of regulating qi, stimulating the appetite, quenching thirst, and moistening the lungs. However, people with a yin-deficiency and excess-heat constitution may experience symptoms of "heatiness" such as mouth sores, a sore throat, and dryness if they eat too many.
Dietary Therapy: The entire tangerine is a treasure and can also be used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Decoct 9 grams each of tangerine peel, ginger, and perilla leaves in water, add brown sugar, and take orally to effectively prevent and treat colds and coughs.
Health Pear
The juicy pear is a cold-natured fruit, but it aids digestion, stimulates the appetite, and also has the effects of clearing the mind, resolving phlegm, and stopping coughs.
Dietary Therapy: Take one raw pear, wash it, chop it with the skin on, add rock sugar, and stew it in water to drink. This can treat acute bronchitis caused by colds and coughs.
Health Apple
Apples are neutral in nature and sweet in taste, making them a great fruit for strengthening the spleen and stimulating the appetite. They contain a high amount of crude fiber, malic acid, tannic acid, and citric acid, which have an astringent effect to stop diarrhea.
Dietary Therapy: Take 15 grams of apple powder, mix it with warm water on an empty stomach, 2-3 times a day to effectively treat chronic diarrhea, nervous colitis, and other discomforts.
Health Persimmon
Persimmons are a cold-natured fruit with a sweet and astringent taste. They also contain a large amount of vitamins and minerals, second only to tangerines but higher than pears and apples.
Dietary Therapy: Persimmon calyces can treat hiccups and belching; roasted charcoal from dried persimmons can also treat blood in the stool; and persimmon frost can effectively treat sore throat, cough, and mouth sores.
Health Radish
Radishes are cool in nature and pungent and sweet in taste. They have the effects of strengthening the stomach to aid digestion, resolving phlegm, regulating qi to promote urination, and clearing heat and detoxifying. Eating a bit of fresh radish before bed each night can also enhance heart function.
Dietary Therapy: Wash the radish without peeling it, chop it, add 2-3 tablespoons of maltose, let it sit overnight until it turns into radish sugar water. This can effectively treat acute and chronic bronchial cough.
