Extended data:

The diet in winter solstice should follow the old adage of "nourishing yin in autumn and winter", "not disturbing yang", "tonifying deficiency and warming cold". Eating less is cold, but it is not suitable for hot and dry. Overeating spicy food can only produce yang fire, leading to internal heat stagnation. Fat, sweet and thick taste can easily lead to indigestion and wet phlegm. It is advisable to eat a diet with high calorie, nourishing yin and strengthening yang, and eat more fresh vegetables to avoid vitamin deficiency.

In addition to dietary supplements, you can also supplement them by eating fruits. Winter is cold and dry, which makes people feel dry nose and mouth, dry skin and easy to get angry. Therefore, eating some fruits every day can not only nourish yin and moisten the lungs, moisten the throat and dry, but also absorb enough nutrients, which will make people refreshed and feel comfortable, such as pears, kiwis, sugar cane and grapefruit.
