As the autumn and winter seasons enter, the weather is getting drier and drier. Even with the humidifier turned on, many people still wake up with a dry cough and a dry cough at night. When I went to the supermarket, fresh pears were on the market.

85% of pears are water, the taste is crisp, sweet and sour, so pears are very effective as a thirst-quenching fruit that replenishes water.

Of course, because pears have a lot of water, eating pears is really good for replenishing water, and it can also relieve symptoms such as throat discomfort and cough caused by dryness. Especially friends with pharyngitis, eating pears can indeed make the throat a lot more comfortable. After drinking pear soup made from pears, the throat feels refreshed, not because of any special ingredients in pears, but also because of the result of adding water. In fact, drinking more water has the same effect. However, although pears and pear soup do not have the legendary cough-relieving effect, they do not prevent us from enjoying its delicious taste.

Eat with other fruits and eat them together. my country's dietary guidelines recommend that everyone pay attention to dietary diversity, and strive to eat at least 10 kinds of vegetables and fruits every week.
