**Smart choice in the cold wind: experts recommend hoarding food and not clothing in winter**
As the cold air approached, people opened their wardrobes to see if the heavy padded jackets could withstand the coming cold snap. But at the Pu'er Tea Winter Clothes Festival at the head of Lao Budu Mountain, a new idea has quietly emerged that when the temperature plummets, perhaps it is wiser to stock up on delicious food than to stock up on cotton clothes.
Yes, you heard it right. Faced with a harsh winter test with only two months left in 2024, some professionals are pushing the conventional wisdom back. They point out that filling your stomach is often more critical than adding a layer of thermal clothing during this time.
Imagine enjoying a hot, fragrant meal at home while the north wind is blowing outside – it's definitely a win-win strategy for both well-being and body temperature. Looking at it from a nutritional perspective, we can focus on the best products that both nourish the body and mind and can be preserved for a long time. For example:
- Meatballs: High protein provider. - Chinese cabbage: Affordable and can be prepared in a variety of dishes. - Dried vegetables: have a very distinctive taste and a long shelf life. - Dried cuttlefish: the essence of the sea, full of trace elements and salts. - Sweet potato flour skin: easy to make and flavorful.
Of course, it's not just about how to eat well and eat well at this festival. It also showcases the traditional practices of the locals, such as drying dried vegetables in the autumn sun – which not only adds to the cultural heritage, but also promotes the harmony between the lifestyle and the natural environment.
So friends, before you get ready for the challenging weather, remember a tip: maybe you need to update the items on your shopping list this year!
