Today is [summer heat].
[Summer heat] is the second solar term in autumn. Compared with [beginning of autumn], [summer heat] has more meaning of coming autumn: [place] means ending, that is to say, from the day of [summer heat], the summer heat will slowly end, the weather will become cooler and cooler, and the familiar autumn will come to us immediately.
Speaking of autumn, the first thing that comes to mind is a bumper harvest. All kinds of fruits and vegetables are ripe one after another. Among them, the most representative of autumn is probably the sweet and refreshing pear.
Pears are delicious and nutritious.
There are many kinds of pears, for example, there are sand pears with rough peel, Sydney with smooth whole body, Yali pear with large juice, and Gong pear with charming and lovely skin.
Although there are so many varieties of pears, on average, large pear families have their own common nutritional characteristics.
Up to 85.8% of pears are water, which tastes crisp and sweet and sour. Therefore, pears, as thirst-quenching fruits to supplement water, have good effects.
As we all know, Vitamin A is very important to maintain normal vision. If vitamin A is lacking, There will be a situation where you cannot see clearly at dusk. This symptom is called [night blindness]. Pears are rich in carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A in the human body. Eating pears is of great help in preventing night blindness and promoting eye health.
Pears are also rich in vitamin B2, which can promote the normal growth of skin, nails and hair and prevent and eliminate stomatitis.
Can pear soup relieve cough and moisten lung?
In addition to eating raw pears, there is a special way to eat pears: add crystal sugar and other ingredients to make pear soup. When summer and autumn change seasons, people always kindly remind us that [in this dry weather, drinking more pear soup can moisten our lungs.]
So, can pear soup really moisten the lung and relieve cough?
In fact, although we often see the statement that pears can moisten the lung and relieve cough in many advertisements, there is no formal scientific research in this field.
Of course, because there is a lot of water in pears, eating pears is indeed good for supplementing water, and can also relieve symptoms such as throat discomfort and cough caused by dryness. Especially for friends with pharyngitis, eating pears can really make their throat comfortable.
Drinking pear soup boiled from pears makes my throat feel comfortable, not because there are any special ingredients in pears, but also because of the result of supplementing water.
However, if the cough is caused by other reasons, it is more reliable to find antitussive drugs if it is necessary to relieve cough.
