Chinese New Year cannot be termed complete without preparing snacks and fruits for family and visitors. It's the most extended holiday in which the most important meal of the year is made. It's considered an auspicious symbol of good wishes for the upcoming year. 

But with all this joy of family reunion comes up with a health concern: increased body heat. The snacks used on Chinese New Year are dehydrated and hot. They are packed with good fat, magnesium, iron, proteins, vitamin B, and fiber which activate oil glands. As a result, more oil secretions cause clogged pores and pimples.
