Grapefruit
Grapefruit has some really good stuff in it – like hesperidins and naringins – which can help keep blood flowing better, stop thrombus from forming, and even help prevent stroke in older people. So if you want to make it, just add the right amount of grapes and honey.
Method
- Peel the grapes and get rid of the pulp – it’s best to leave the skin intact.
- Then, mix up some rock sugar and honey with the grapes, steam for a few minutes, and serve it.
- Just make sure to rub the grapes with salt to get rid of the wax.

Pears are great for curing wind-heat, keeping your lungs moist, cooling your heart, getting rid of phlegm, reducing fire, and detoxifying. Modern medicine has shown that pears can help moisten your lungs and clear dryness, so you don’t have to cough as much, nourish your blood, and help your muscles grow. Plus, the effects are doubled when you steam them. You can add other foods or medicines during steaming to make it even better.
Method
- Mix one pear, one Sichuan clam and the right amount of rock sugar.
- Cut the pears into small cubes and put them in a bowl with the clams, the rock sugar and some water.
- Simmer for about 15 minutes and then drink the soup. Enjoy!
