Why do people eat nuts in winter?

Traditional Chinese medical science teaches that the quality of a nut is tepidity, so it is easy for people to suffer from internal heat. However, in winter, because of the cold weather, it is not easy for people to suffer from internal heat. Moreover, most nuts have the function of nourishing the kidneys and strengthening the brain and heart. Therefore, eating more nuts in winter is good for one’s health. What’s more, eating nuts in winter can help people keep out the cold. Of course, when eating nuts one should be careful to take the appropriate amount, and the amount differs from person to person.
