Seasonal Crops of November

2023-11-08

Winter Commences. Everything Stores.
Winter Commences is the first solar term of winter. It marks the beginning of winter. At the start of winter, the temperature will drop sharply. Special attention has to be paid to keeping head and feet warm. If conditions allow, it is recommended to turn in early and wake up late which is conducive to the hiding of Yang Qi, and avoid strenuous exercises. 
Winter is a good time to take supplements. When it comes to diet, you can focus on nourishing the kidneys. Seasonal vegetables with kidney-tonifying effects include broccoli, tomatoes, spinach, and cabbage. Seasonal crops change with time. Consuming plants in season gives the benefit of less pesticides when the vegetables are planted and harvested at the best time. The taste is better, too. Also, as it is in season, the production is more while the price is less.

“Hello! Have you eaten yet? Do you need a meal box?” A volunteer bumped into the homeless man sleeping under the flyover again and tried to care for his needs in a friendly way.

“Sure! Thank you. It’s so kind of you!” The homeless man who was originally lying on the ground immediately sat up and felt particularly energized after receiving the meal box. We hoped that this meal box could give him a little strength and feel the warmth of the earth.

As autumn was gradually setting in, in this comfortable weather, volunteers brought their own shopping bags to collect unsold bread and distribute it to members in the neighbourhood, workers and people in need one by one.
