we are entering drying season - the season of the Lung

🌾🌾🌾Humboldt Park reminds us that we are entering drying season - the season of the Lung for our bodies

you might notice skin, eye and throat dryness, and possible respiratory challenges

to support ourselves during the dryness of the fall, eat foods that moisten the lungs, such as pears and apples

other moistening foods include white mushrooms, tofu, barley, millet, almonds, pine nuts, white sesame seeds, lotus root, pumpkin, honey, and soymilk

the body also needs extra fluids to deal with the dry environment, so think of adding tea and soups to yr daily meals

adding bits of pungent foods will also help clear the lungs and keep fluids moving in a healthy manner

think of adding onion, ginger, bay leaves, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, oregano and chili
