In early spring, the climate in the whole country is relatively dry, and in some places there are even sandstorms all over the sky. At this time, not only the human skin is dry and dehydrated, but also the immunity is low, which is prone to symptoms such as colds and allergies. To build a strong front of disease prevention, dietotherapy is an essential part, nourishing the body from the inside out. Fu Jinru, chairman of Tianjin Nutrition Society, recommends the following three foods to you:
Detoxifying and moistening dryness: ribs soup
Pork is rich in vitamin A, which has the functions of nourishing yin, moistening dryness, strengthening muscles and caring skin, and is suitable for dry and windy weather. Chinese medicine also believes that pork can nourish viscera, smooth skin, tonify the middle energizer and replenish qi. Through investigation, a professor at Ryukyu University in Japan found that pork can also be a "longevity medicine" if cooked properly. The best way to eat pork to moisten dryness is to boil ribs soup, and add radish or kelp that can relieve oil and greasy, which can reduce cholesterol intake.
Recipe recommendation: kelp sparerib soup
Exercise:
1. steam kelp for half an hour, take it out, soak it in clear water for 4 hours, and cut it into cubes;
2. Add clean water to a clean pot, add ribs, onion, ginger slices and yellow wine, simmer for about 20 minutes on medium fire, put them in the sea, and then cook them on high fire for 10 minutes to taste.
Skin care and hydration: carrots
Carrots are rich in beta carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A in the small intestine. Vitamin A can protect the epidermis of the skin and make people's skin soft, shiny and elastic, so it is also called "beauty vitamin". If vitamin A is lacking in the diet, it will cause dry skin, abnormal keratin metabolism and easy relaxation and aging.
There are two things to pay attention to when cooking carrots:

Anti-allergic moistening lung: honey
In dry and windy spring, people will lose more water. Drinking a cup of honey every morning and evening can replenish water, relax bowels, increase nutrition, prevent colds and eliminate toxins in the body. Spring is a period of high incidence of allergies. American immunologists have found that people with allergies can stay away from seasonal allergic symptoms such as asthma, itching, cough and dry eyes if they can drink a spoonful of honey every day for two years.
