減肥食材一覽
又到了穿背心、短褲的季節，多餘的脂肪立即無所遁形，心目中立即出現兩個字：減肥！從中醫角度來看，減肥宜先了解體質，例如究竟自己是屬於實胖（肉質結實、食慾大、易肚餓）還是虛胖（肌肉鬆軟、食慾差、手腳冰冷腫脹），積極調理體質之餘，多進食山楂、荷葉，都有消脂減肥的功效。新鮮的山楂外形像迷你蘋果，可以當水果吃或沖水飲用。新鮮荷葉可直接用來煮湯或煲粥，每逢夏天街市都會找到；山楂及荷葉乾品則較常見，藥材舖及乾貨店買到。
如果肥胖身形多來自水腫，就應先健脾袪濕。如果水腫較明顯，粟米鬚、冬瓜都是能清熱利尿的食材，有助減肥，怕涼就可以加一片薑減低寒性。冬瓜超過九成為水份，尤其適合炎夏時食用，有助清熱袪暑及補充水份。粟米鬚可直接到街市購買新鮮的煲水飲用。

山楂 — 性微溫，有消食健胃、行氣散瘀的功效，可治消化不良、臉上色斑、暗瘡印等，更可降血脂和消脂。惟體弱氣虛及糖尿病者不宜多吃。

荷葉 －性平，能消暑、清頭目、降脂減肥，適合夏日中暑、頭昏腦脹、暑熱腹瀉、大便出血、流鼻血、高血脂等，惟體質瘦弱、氣血虛弱者不宜。

粟米鬚 － 性平，能清熱利尿，降血糖。適合高血壓病人、水腫、尿道炎及糖尿病人服用。

冬瓜 — 性涼，具有清熱祛暑、利水消痰、減肥的功效，適合浮腫、肥胖、暑熱煩悶者飲用。脾腎虛弱易有腹瀉者、陽虛體質不宜。

Fat burning ingredients at-a-glance 
In the season of wearing sleeveless shirt and shorts, you cannot hide any excess fat. You may think about losing weight. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, you should understand your body condition first. For example, you should figure out if you truly have obesity (strong and dense muscle, with a large appetite and always hungry) or have asthenic weight gain (loose muscles, poor appetite, cold and bloated limbs). Besides conditioning the body, eating more Chinese hawthorn and lotus leaf can also improve fat burn.

烏梅在不少乾果店見得多，不過你知不知道，烏梅其實是由青梅製作而成？梅屬於薔薇科桃李屬植物，青梅味道苦澀，且含有叫「氰酸」的毒素，直接吃不好味。坊間通常會用糖漬或鹽漬的方式加工，因為加工處理，發揮的食用效果更好，青梅有開胃通膽及生津止渴的功效。

不少工廠將青梅加工製成烏梅，5月時採摘即將成熟的青梅。再將其按照大小分開，分別炕焙兩三日，直至果肉變成啡黃色及皺皮，再燜兩三日，果肉變成黑色，成了烏梅。

烏梅有止咳，治療肺虛的功效，可沖水飲，亦有不少人用烏梅製作酸梅湯。酸梅湯是烏梅加山楂、桂花、甘草及冰糖等熬製而成。飲酸梅湯有強身健體的功效，夏天飲開胃消暑。
