The first frost is the coldest solar term in autumn in China. As a transitional solar term in autumn and winter, from the point of view of TCM health preservation, we should make proper supplements at this time to prepare for the cold winter, but we should not just eat big fish and big meat, but pay attention to balanced nutrition. In the first frosty autumn, the dry weather makes more people feel uncomfortable. Chinese medicine says that persimmon is the most suitable for ordering some seasonal fruits at this time, because persimmon can eliminate dryness and heat, resolve phlegm and relieve cough, and regular eating can prevent cough. In addition, pears rich in water also have a good effect. When you are thirsty, it is also smart to eat pears that meet the solar terms.

The first frost is the season of late autumn, the five elements belong to gold, the five seasons (spring, summer, long summer, autumn and winter) belong to autumn, and the five internal organs (liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney) belong to lung. According to the point of view of TCM health preservation, it is necessary to supplement in four seasons (spring supplement, summer supplement, long summer supplement and autumn supplement). Autumn is a season of easy cough, and it is also a period of easy recurrence or aggravation of chronic bronchitis. So what can the first frost eat to make up for it? .

Persimmons, pears and apples can be eaten more, and cool watermelons can be touched less, because when the weather is cold, eating too much cool food is easy to reduce the body's resistance and induce a cold. There are also warm mutton stoves and ginger ducks, which will add fuel to the fire when the weather is cold. It's not too late to wait until it gets cold. What does the first frost eat? Personally, the sudden autumn wind should warm the middle and dispel the cold, and beef and mutton can be regarded as a good product to warm the stomach and eliminate dampness.
