Drink more water and eat less salt.
Drink plenty of water is a prerequisite for moisturize that skin.
Drinking plenty of water is the first prerequisite for keeping skin smooth and soft. After entering autumn, people should pay more attention to regulating their health and health care, with lung health care as the first priority. The survey found that drinking more water in autumn is the easiest way to nourish the lungs. When the climate is dry in autumn, the human body will lose a lot of water. According to estimates, the water evaporated by human skin every day is more than 600 ml, and the water exhaled by nasal cavity is not less than 300 ml. In order to make up for these losses in time, drink at least 500 ml more water every day in autumn than in other seasons to maintain the normal humidity of lungs and respiratory tract.
Eat less salt.
Dry climate is harmful to the respiratory system and easy to induce upper respiratory tract infection. If the food contains too much salt, it will lead to a decrease in saliva secretion, making it easier for all kinds of bacteria to survive in the upper respiratory tract. High-salt diet may also reduce the ability of mucosa to resist diseases, allowing bacteria and viruses to enter and induce inflammation. Therefore, we should pay more attention to salt restriction in winter.
Eat more sour fruit
Because sweet fruits are usually rich in vitamins C and E, which can moisturize the skin. Vitamin C can promote the synthesis of collagen and make skin moist and delicate. Vitamin E is an efficient antioxidant, which can promote human metabolism, improve skin blood circulation and enhance cell vitality, such as kiwifruit, hawthorn, apple, pear and citrus fruits. In addition, sour fruit also contains tannic acid, organic acid, cellulose and other substances, which can stimulate the secretion of digestive juice and accelerate gastrointestinal peristalsis. In winter, eating a fruit every day is an ideal choice for hydrating.

Is your soup cooked before drinking it in winter?
1, the less soup the better?
Water is the key to making soup. It is not only a medium for heat transfer, but also a solvent for food. The first mistake people often make when cooking soup is that they don't add enough water, which leads to adding water halfway and affects the taste of the soup. If you also like to add cold water to soup, it's wrong. Under normal circumstances, the amount of water added to the soup should be at least 3 times the weight of the ingredients. If you really need to add water halfway, it is best to use hot water instead of cold water, which will have the least effect on the taste of the soup.
2, more soup and more supplements?
Many people want to make up for it by drinking soup, so they will add some Chinese herbal medicines to the soup. However, different Chinese herbal medicines have different characteristics. Before making soup, you must be familiar with the cold, hot, warm and cool properties of Chinese herbal medicines. For example, American ginseng is slightly cool, ginseng and angelica are warm, and medlar is flat. Therefore, even if you want to add ingredients to the soup, you should divide it according to your different physique. Indifferently, if the family drinks soup together, it is better to add as little as possible. Perhaps the original soup is more suitable for everyone and can increase everyone's nutrition.
In winter, the human body is dry and needs to be replenished with water. It's soup season. Drinking soup in winter is not only good for digestion and absorption, but also good for health and fitness.
