According to the American Heart Association, eating fish two times a week reduces the risk of a heart stroke. Various booths and dhaabas begin serving this delicacy as soon as the first winter winds blow. Many of the places also provide grilled or steamed fish with various spice combinations for Pakistani foodies to try.

Pakistan is abundant in crunchy goodies such as peanuts, walnuts, dried figs, cashews, pistachios, almonds, and more. However, depending on the market rates and demand, the costs of some of these dry fruits may be sky-high, so it’s best to get them before the season begins.

    FAQs

    1- Why does hunger increase in winter?

    The cold weather reduces our body temperature, thereby stimulating our appetite. It is because eating generates internal heat, which leads to a rise in body temperature.

    2- What is the best time to eat dry fruits?

    The best time to consume dried fruits is in the early morning after soaking them in water overnight. Even though dry fruits are a healthy alternative to junk food, they should not be consumed at night.

    3- Should children eat fish?

    Yes, but their portion size must be smaller than adults and appropriate for their body weight and age.
