Autumn Heat-reducing Soup

Many people suffer from internal heat in autumn, so you can use winter melon to reduce internal heat at this time. Winter melon is a vegetable that can be used as both medicine and food, and has many health benefits. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that winter melon is sweet, light, and cool in nature, and enters the lungs, large intestine, small intestine, and bladder meridians. It has many functions such as moistening the lungs and producing fluid, resolving phlegm and quenching thirst, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling, clearing away heat and removing summer heat, detoxifying and discharging pus, etc. Winter melon contains a good amount of potassium, which helps patients with heart disease and diabetes to urinate.

When cooking winter melon soup, don't rush to peel and remove the seeds. It is best to wash the winter melon peel and put it into the pot with the skin and skin. After it is cooked, remove the skin and seeds. This can have a diuretic effect. However, it should be noted that you should not eat too much winter melon when reducing heat, so as to prevent eating too cold food and causing gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea and other conditions.

2. Pear Soup

Pears are sweet, cool and slightly sour in nature. They have the effects of clearing away heat, promoting body fluid, moistening the lungs and resolving phlegm. They are a good fruit for preventing and treating autumn dryness. Pears can moisten the lungs and reduce internal heat, but pears are cold in nature. Eating too many raw pears can harm your body and easily cause diarrhea. Boiling the pear into soup can reduce its coldness, and it is better in moistening the lungs, relieving dryness and clearing heat.

Many people peel the pears and dig out the cores when cooking pear soup. Experts point out that this method is not advisable. When cooking pears, the whole pear should be used, that is, the pear skin and the pear core should be cooked together. Because the pear core is sour and the pear flesh is dry, the pear skin becomes bitter and cold in nature after being cooked, so it can help clear away lung heat.
