F Health and Wellness

1) Autumn is generally dry. Reduce your intake of oily and spicy foods, especially hot pot, to avoid worsening "autumn dryness" and causing internal discomfort. Oily and fried foods are difficult to digest, accumulating in the stomach and worsening internal stagnation. This is not conducive to moisturizing dryness and may trigger or worsen chronic respiratory diseases.

2) When eating crabs in autumn, it is recommended to steam them. Boiling can cause the deliciousness and nutrients in crabs to diffuse into the water, destroying their flavor and nutritional value. Steaming also avoids contamination of the crab meat from pollutants or gastrointestinal contents.
