Today is the 21st of the 24 solar terms, "Major Snow," which is also the third solar term of winter. As the saying goes, "After Major Snow and the Winter Solstice, even a basket filled with water won't leak." At this time, the north wind strengthens, and the weather becomes increasingly dry, so it is advisable to pay attention to keeping warm, preventing dryness, and moisturizing the lungs.

Recommended dishes made with seasonal vegetables:

Stir-fried mushrooms and lily bulbs with honey beans

Beetroot vegetarian soup

Roasted curry cauliflower

The rescue work has been completed, and the victims are entering another phase. In addition to material assistance, emotional support is equally important.

This information compilation is intended to assist anyone who require emotional assistance during this time, whether you or someone you know needs it.

The rainbow disappears, and the chill begins to condense. The "Minor Snow"  begins tomorrow, marking the beginning of snowfall in the north and the intensification of damp cold in the south. At this time, the yin energy of heaven and earth increases while the yang energy lies dormant. The goal of health preservation is "nourishing the kidney essence and keeping warm to prevent cold," and the kidneys benefit from a warm, nourishing diet.

As the weather turns cooler, it's the perfect time to learn how to make the most of winter ingredients and cook warm and seasonal dishes! This winter, we've once again invited nutritionist Sharon Chan to share her seasonal food-saving tips:

-Seasonal ingredient utilisation tips: Select and store samples to reduce waste.

-Food conservation and low-carbon eating concepts: enhancing food value and sustainability

-Combining food therapy with healthy eating recommendations

-Creative and quick recipe sharing: nutritious, convenient, and delicious!
