Many of our readers in Beijing complain that autumn is such a dry season. We're fighting parched lips and dry skin by taking in tons of water. But "what else can we do?" we ask. Let's hear what a medical expert has to say.

Lynn Grieger, a nutrition consultant for Bennington College and the Vermont Department of Health, lists three best fruits for fall, which keep you both hydrated and healthy.

Apples are the mainstay of fall. They have a high antioxidant content, which helps keep the doctor away.

Cranberries help prevent urinary tract infections, and they are abundant with antioxidants and vitamins A and C.

Grapes are packed with health-promoting phytochemicals that protect against some types of cancer and heart disease.
