General principles of diet in the painting

Dryness primarily affects the lungs and stomach and associated tissues. Dryness may or may not be associated with Yin deficiency. Foods intended to moisten dryness tend to lubricate and produce mucus, which distinguishes them from Yin-enhancing foods. Consumption of steamed or steamed vegetables and adherence to a drinking regimen are recommended to adequately hydrate the body.

Small amounts of milk and dairy products (butter, yogurt)
Fruits: pears, apples, bananas
Soy products: tofu, tempeh, soy milk
Cereals: barley, buckwheat
Fungi: jellyfish (Judas ear), Hericium
Nuts and seeds: almonds, pine seeds, peanuts, sesame seeds
Meat: pork, herring

1 glass of boiled water with lime, lemon or honey (for constipation).
