【運動飲食】即食雞胸肉選擇越來越多 ⭐再好的食物也不要每餐吃 ⭐雞肉多吃易上火 #星期四食材 增肌必吃雞胸肉？ 近年坊間推出不少即食雞胸肉，以滿足「增肌減脂」人士需要，因為雞胸肉是低脂肪、高蛋白質的代表食物，不過從中醫角度來看，雞屬性溫熱，有補益氣血、暖胃的作用，如本身體質偏熱，再每天吃溫熱的雞肉，容易出現喉嚨痛、出口瘡、暗瘡等偏熱症狀，所以吃雞肉要適可宜止，不妨配搭其他高蛋白質食材，每星期輪流食用，例如蛋白、各類魚肉、芝士等，亦毛豆、黑豆、黃豆均含豐富蛋白質。 中醫理論認為「脾氣虛則肌肉失養」，如果脾胃虛弱肌肉會較鬆軟，所以著重吸收蛋白質之餘，亦要注意調理脾胃，平日適量食用有健脾胃作用的食材，例如淮山、薯仔、蓮子、芡實、扁豆衣等，每日飲用一杯米水都有助補氣養脾胃。 雞 — 性溫，能補益氣血、暖胃，感冒期間或濕熱、痰濕體質不宜食用。體質虛弱、久病後宜適量食用。 ✔️CheckCheckCin 米水推介：朝米水 功效：保健強身，尤其適合脾胃虛弱及痰濕內盛體質人士。 歡迎到CheckCheckCin門市及網頁訂購： www.checkcheckcin.com 留言或按讚👍🏻支持一下我們吧！❤️ 歡迎 Follow 我們獲得更多養生資訊。 Should we eat chicken breast to increase muscle? In recent years, many different types of instant chicken breast are introduced to cater to the needs of those who wish to build muscles and lose weight. This is because the chicken breast is low in fats and high in protein. Yet, from the Chinese Medicine perspective, chicken is warm in nature and can nourish the qi and the blood and warm the stomach. If an individual with a heat related body consumes chicken daily, he or she might experience heat-related symptoms such as sore throat, canker sore, and acne. Therefore, we should not consume chicken excessively. We can also consider other high-protein food sources such as egg white, fish, and cheese, not forgetting about edamame, black bean, and soybean, as they are also rich in protein. According to the Chinese Medicine theories, the muscles will lose its strength when qi in the spleen is weak. Besides taking protein, we have to maintain the health of the spleen and stomach. Consume ingredients such as Chinese yam, potato, lotus seed, gorgon, and lentils, as they can strengthen the spleen and stomach. Drinking a cup of rice water a day can also replenish the qi in these two internal organs. Chicken - warm in nature, can replenish qi and blood, and warm the stomach. Not suitable for those with a flu or those with damp heat and phlegm and dampness body constitution. Suitable for those with asthenic body types and those who recovered from chronic illness.

According to the Chinese Medicine theories, dampness, besides damaging the joints and bones, can cause the body to feel heavy and tired. It also causes us to experience discomfort on the neck and shoulders. This is especially true for individuals with the damp heat body constitution when they consume oily and heavily flavored deep-fried food and stay up late regularly.

The skin will itch, hurt, and thicken and have symptoms like red marks, blisters, and white flakes or scaling skin. The humid weather in summer will further promote fungal growth, especially in areas like armpits, inner thighs, hips, and in between the toes. What kind of people develop ringworm more easily? People who are malnourished and sweat easily, and those with poor personal hygiene, a weak immune system, damaged skin, and chronic diseases such as diabetes. From the perspective of Chinese Medicine, ringworm forms when the pathogenic factors of wind, dampness, and heat intrude the skin. Individuals with the weak qi and damp heat body constitutions would have a higher risk of developing ringworm. Patients should seek medical treatment based on their conditions. Hence, it is best to consult registered and licensed Chinese medicine practitioner. Avoid consuming foods such as eggplant, mushroom, and beef as they might aggravate the skin condition. Also, avoid taking nourishing food unnecessarily. Fungal infections can be contagious and can return easily as well. That is why we need to maintain good personal hygiene, keep our body and clothes dry, and wipe down the sweat after exercising and change into fresh clothes. Avoid walking barefoot in public areas like the swimming pool and the gym to prevent developing athlete's foot (tinea pedis) and onychomycosis. Also, do not share items like towels and slippers with others. (To be cont in comment column)
