After the beginning of autumn, many places have the custom of "attaching autumn fat" to enhance the body's immunity. However, "attaching autumn fat" is not about blindly taking tonics, nor does it mean that one must eat large amounts of fish and meat to be considered as "tonifying." Some common newly available foods can also play a good health-preserving role, such as peanuts. Peanuts have certain medicinal value and health-preserving functions. The ancients called them "ginseng fruit," and peanuts are categorized as liver-soothing and lung-moistening foods. Therefore, after the beginning of autumn, it might be beneficial to eat more peanuts.

The benefits of peanuts go beyond just one aspect. Intestinal infectious diseases are common infectious diseases among children during the transition from summer to autumn. After the beginning of autumn, allowing children to eat more peanuts can effectively enhance their body's resistance to intestinal infectious diseases. Nowadays, even NASA has designated peanuts as one of the space foods. This is because American scientists have discovered a naturally occurring polyphenol substance with strong biological activity in peanuts - resveratrol. The amount of this substance in peanuts is over 900 times that found in grapes. It beautifies and nourishes the complexion, possesses antioxidant and blood-thinning properties, helps lower cholesterol levels in people, and improves cardiovascular health.

Therefore, health preservation experts suggest eating more peanuts moderately after the beginning of autumn. If you cannot buy fresh peanuts, you can also change your cooking oil at home to peanut oil, or go to the supermarket to buy some peanut butter, high-quality peanut drinks, and other peanut products. They are equally beneficial to health. Additionally, you can eat more lily bulbs, lotus roots, black fungus, wolfberries, chicken and duck meat, and crucian carp. These foods nourish yin and moisten dryness; they replenish without causing internal heat.
