With the onset of winter and change in the weather, a change in diet is also recommended. For instance, more consumption of meat and use of spices in foods can be helpful, as they produce “heat in the body.” Such foods also prevent abnormal accumulation of fluids in the system, ISNA quoted Maryam Navvabzadeh, physician and traditional medicine researcher as saying.
Also the consumption of wet fruits like watermelon, cucumber and tangerine should be reduced. As winter can increase the risk of depression in some people, skin moisturizing with scented essential oils such as rose or olive oil can help provide relief from depression as well as protect the skin.
