Women should deal with the dry weather in winter by "nourishing from the inside out." In addition to drinking plenty of water, it is crucial to eat fruits and vegetables that hydrate the body:
Cucumber: Eating raw cucumber can fully replenish the skin's moisture.
Citrus fruits: Citrus fruits have a warming nature and a sweet taste. They have the effects of stimulating appetite, regulating qi, stopping cough, and moisturizing the lungs. However, those with a constitution of yin deficiency and excessive internal heat may experience symptoms of oral ulcers, dry throat, and sore throat when consuming them excessively.
Autumn pear: Pears have the functions of generating body fluids, relieving thirst, stopping cough, transforming phlegm, clearing heat, reducing fire, nourishing blood, promoting skin regeneration, moisturizing the lungs, and eliminating dryness. The abundant water content in pears is exactly what the skin needs.
Carrot: Carrots have the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, tonifying the middle, and nourishing the organs. They are suitable for people with dry and rough skin, or those suffering from seborrheic dermatitis, blackheads, acne, or keratosis-type eczema.
Grapefruit: Grapefruit not only has high nutritional value but also has the functions of invigorating the stomach, moisturizing the lungs, nourishing blood, clearing the intestines, and promoting bowel movements. It also has a significant effect on hydrating the skin.
Pomegranate: Pomegranates have the function of generating body fluids and relieving irritability and thirst. Extracting pomegranate juice or making a soup to drink can clear heat, detoxify, moisturize the lungs, relieve cough, kill parasites, relieve diarrhea, and moisturize the skin.
Apple: Apples are rich in pectin, dietary fiber, and vitamin C. Eating three apples a day not only keeps the skin hydrated but also gives it elasticity.
