⭐小心用錯減壓方法
#星期六隻眼閉

減壓方法大拆解
男人來到了四、五十歲，人生的道路走了一半，有說是幸福感最少的時候，因為隨着年紀漸長，體力下降，打波打到半場已虛脫，凌晨起身睇波都見吃力；髮際線後退，脂肪有增無減，容貌亦開始顯露歲月痕跡；事業上打拼多年壓力增加，家庭開銷亦有增無減⋯⋯壓力大到身心俱疲時，您有用以下的減壓方法嗎？

⚠️飲酒
輕則放工後小酌一杯，嚴重的甚至借酒消愁，適量及配合體質飲酒可和氣行血，但飲酒過量容易於體內聚濕、生痰、化熱，影響肝脾正常運作，要適可宜止。

⚠️吸煙
不少人因為壓力大而開始吸煙，覺得吸煙過程很紓壓，甚至能有助放鬆排便！其實是錯覺，吸煙過後壓力依然存在，更會對身體造成損害，得不償失。

⚠️瘋狂購物
購物減壓不是女人的專利，亦有男人遇上壓力大時喜歡購物減壓，尤其網購盛行，以致經常購買不必要的物品，小心紓緩心理壓力後卻增加經濟壓力。

⚠️暴飲暴食
用吃來紓壓是很常見的方式，而且會偏好選擇高脂、高熱量的食物，透過食物慰藉心靈，但卻會帶來肥胖、高血脂等問題。

⚠️熬夜打機
不少男人放工後都會打機減壓，甚至打到通宵達旦，第二天上班當然無精神，長遠更會打亂生理時鐘，損耗身體津液，出現口乾、五心煩熱、大便偏乾等陰虛症狀。

中醫理論認為肝主情志，不良情緒會傷肝，肝功能失調會導致肝鬱，出現頭痛、多嘆氣、打嗝或放屁、胃痛、大便不調、失眠等症狀。所以減壓要疏肝，適量食用蓮藕、白蘿蔔、絲瓜、陳皮等疏肝理氣食材，或者飲用玫瑰花、茉莉花、佛手、洋甘菊茶有助氣血運行，進行運動也有助減壓。

✔ CheckCheckCin茶療推介：火龍果玫瑰茶
材料：紅火龍果、冰糖、蜂蜜、玫瑰花、檸檬及白毫烏龍
功效：疏肝解鬱，潤腸通便，適合大便不暢、有壓力、經常嘆氣、暗啞肌膚人士。
注意：適合月經前飲用；月經期間、孕婦不宜。

Are these the best ways to relieve stress?
When men reach the age of 40 or 50, they are about halfway through their journey in life. As they grow older, they might start to feel a decrease in stamina and might not perform well in sports. They might even have a hard time staying up late to watch their favourite sports match.

Some might also troubled by their receding hairline, the accumulation of fats in their body, and changes in their facial appearance. To add fuel to the fire, stress at work and the rising cost of living can also take a toll on their mental health. Have you tried the following methods to cope with stress?

⚠️Drinking booze
While some might enjoy a glass of beer after work, some would resort to alcoholism to escape from the harsh reality they face daily. Consuming an appropriate amount of alcohol according to your body constitution can improve the circulation of qi and blood, but excessive drinking can cause heat and dampness to accumulate in the body, induce phlegm production, affect the functions of the liver and spleen. It is important to practice self-control when consuming alcohol.

⚠️Smoking
Many people might take a puff at a cigarette to de-stress, and some even think it can help them pass stool more easily. It is in fact just an illusion! Smoking will only cause damage to your body, and you will still feel stressed even after smoking.

⚠️Going on a shopping spree
Some men would go on a shopping spree to reduce their stress. The convenience of online shopping encourages us to make impulsive purchases of items we do not need. Shopping can be stress-relieving, but it could also cause further financial distress if we are not mindful of our spending.

⚠️Binge eating
It is common for us to eat to release stress, and we tend to opt for foods that are high in fats and calories. Binge eating can lead to obesity and an increase in our cholesterols in the long run.

⚠️Late-night gaming
Men may play games to reduce stress after work, and some might even pull an all-nighter. It then becomes difficult for them to focus on work the next morning. Staying up late to play games disrupts our biological clock in the long run. Not only does this lifestyle exhaust the fluid in the body, it can also cause individuals to develop yin-deficient symptoms such as dry mouth, dry stools, and irritability.

According to the Chinese Medicine theories, the liver governs the emotions. Negative emotions can hurt the liver, and when the functions of the liver are affected, individuals may experience headache, burp or flatulence, stomachache, difficulty in passing motion, insomnia, and excessive sighing.

To soothe the liver, consume an appropriate amount of lotus root, white radish, luffa and dried citrus peel or drink rose tea, jasmine tea, bergamot tea, and chamomile tea to improve circulation of qi and blood. Doing our favourite sporting activity can also help relieve stress.

✔ CheckCheckCin Recommendation: Dragon Fruit Rose Tea
Ingredients: Water, Dragon Fruit Juice, Rock Sugar, Honey, Rose, Lemon Juice Concentrate, Oolong Tea
Effects: Relieves stress, moistens the bowels to relieve constipation. Suitable for difficulty passing stool, stress, frequent sighs, and dull complexion.
Note: To relieve menstrual discomfort, have this tea 3-7 days before period. Not suitable for menstruating and pregnant women.

【飲酒迷思】小酌怡情，多喝傷身

⭐心情不佳不宜喝酒
⭐酒入愁腸愁更愁
#星期六隻眼閉

你適合喝酒嗎？
不少男士都喜歡「飲返兩杯」，酒是減壓、交際應酬不可少的飲料，從中醫角度來看，酒也是一種中藥，無論是葡萄酒、啤酒、燒酒、白酒或是黃酒，都是屬性偏溫，有散寒氣、通血脈的功效，與所有食材一樣，適量及配合體質飲用可和氣行血；相反飲酒過量容易於體內聚濕、生痰、化熱，影響肝及脾臟的正常運作。加上都市人多熬夜，飲食不節制，多喝酒會令身體更為濕熱，故要適可宜止。

如你有以下症狀，可適量飲酒：
- 手足冰冷等虛寒症狀
- 手腳麻痺、關節疼痛等氣血不通的症狀
- 淋雨或感受寒濕之邪
- 外傷跌打後用作活血化瘀

如果你有以下症狀，不宜喝酒：
- 胃病
- 肝病
- 痛風
- 高血壓
- 心臟病
- 糖尿病患者
- 月經期間、孕婦及哺乳期婦女
- 濕熱
- 痰濕
- 陰虛

如果不小心多喝幾杯，醒來有宿醉症狀，可以適量進食柚子、梨、西瓜、香蕉、蘋果或橙，這些水果都有解酒作用。或者沖泡一杯花旗參梨乾茶，有醒酒、紓緩宿醉不適症狀。

花旗參梨茶
功效：醒酒，紓緩酒後不適如頭重欲吐、無胃口等症狀。
材料：花旗參1湯匙、梨乾3-4片

Is alcohol good for you?
Many men enjoy an alcoholic drink every now and then. Besides treating it as a stress reliever, alcohol is also an important beverage in social events. From the perspective of Chinese Medicine, alcoholic drinks, be it red wine, beer, shoju, white wine, or millet wine, they are all warm in nature and can dispel cold in the body and improve blood circulation. Just like any ingredients, individuals should consume them in an appropriate amount based on their body constitutions to improve the circulation of qi and blood.

Excessive drinking can cause dampness to accumulate in the body, induce phlegm production, and clear heat, affecting the functions of the liver and spleen. Besides, city folks tend to sleep late and are not mindful of their diets. It is easier for damp heat to accumulate in their body when they consume alcoholic beverages. Hence, it is crucial not to over-indulge in these drinks.

You can have an appropriate amount of alcoholic beverages if you have these symptoms:
- Symptoms such as cold limbs
- Numbness on the limbs, joint pain and stagnation of qi and blood
- After being invaded by the dampness and cold pathogenic factors or getting wet in the rain
- Has external injuries (alcohol can invigorate the blood and clear stasis)

You should avoid drinking alcoholic beverages if you have these symptoms:
- Gastrointestinal problem
- Liver problem
- Gout
- Hypertension
- Heart diseases
- Diabetic
- Women during menstruation, pregnant women, and mothers who are breastfeeding
- Damp heat
- Phlegm-dampness
- Yin deficiency

If you unintentionally consumed alcoholic drinks excessively and have a hangover, try eating pomelo, pear, watermelon, banana, apple, or orange, as these fruits can help relieve the condition. You can also make yourself a cup of American ginseng and dried pear tea to reduce the discomfort of a hangover.

American Ginseng tea with pear
Effects: Helps to sober up. Relieves symptoms such as heavy headedness, nausea, lack of appetite after drinking.
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon American Ginseng, 3-4 pieces dried pear
Preparation: Place all ingredients into thermos. Rinse once with hot water, add in hot water and steep for 15 minutes until aroma develops. This tea can be re-brewed until flavour weakens.

Periods come surprisingly early
Dealing with menstruation once a month can be a nuisance for many women. If period comes at least a week early, and each menstruation cycle shortens to about 21 to 23 days, a woman might experience two periods in just a month. A situation like this might stress you out but do not ignore it, as your body is sending you a signal! Most of the time, early periods are caused by unhealthy lifestyle and diet. In order to regulate the cycle properly, we need to first identify the causes and then employ the best method to solve the issue.

Cause 1: Staying up late
People living in the modern era have hundreds of reasons to sleep late. Being night owls for an extended period can hurt the yin and cause yin deficiency, which in turn develop asthenia heat in the body. The body will then be unable to regulate menstrual blood accordingly, and this would cause early period.
Symptoms: low volume of menstrual blood, red in color, no blood clots
Method: nourish yin and relieve dryness in the body, avoid staying up late
✔ CheckCheckCin Rice Water Recommendation: Dusk rice water
Ingredients: Red Rice, white Rice, black Sesame, black Soya Bean
Effects: suitable for those with frequent late nights, can improve hair quality and nourish kidneys, relieve sore lower back

Cause 2: Fatigue
Weak limbs, speak softly, shortness of breath, get tired easily – all these are symptoms of fatigue. Being in a fatigue state for a long period can harm the yin and the blood, and asthenia heat will develop and cause the period to come early.
Symptoms: menstrual blood can come in a small or large quantity, light in color, diluted
Method: nourish qi and strengthen the essence, rest more, and avoid engaging in physically demanding sports
✔ CheckCheckCin Rice Water Recommendation: Red Bean Rice Water
Ingredients: Red Rice, White Rice, Red Bean
Effects: Achieves rosy complexion. Calms the mind and improves sleep. Replenishes blood and nourishes the stomach.

Cause 3: Consume foods that accumulate heat in the body
Enjoy eating hotpot and foods that are deep-fried, barbecued, and spicy, and drinking beverages that could cause damp heat to accumulate in the body, like bubble milk tea and coffee; consuming all these foods and beverages can cause not only acnes and canker sores to develop but also menstruation to start early.
Symptoms: a large volume of menstrual blood that is normally dark red in color, might have dark purple blood clots, stringy in nature, might give out an unpleasant smell
Method: clear heat and cool the blood; avoid eating spicy, greasy and heaty food; sleep early.
✔️CheckCheckCin Healing Tea Recommendation: Very hot (qi)
Ingredients: Plumeria, chrysanthemum bud, spreading hedyotis
Effects: Clears heat and detoxifies. Relieves bad breath, frequent eye discharge, red and dry eyes, frequent loss of temper, scanty or yellowish urine.

Cause 4: Troubled emotions
Too much stress, overthinking, being a perfectionist, emotionally disturbed, irritable – all these can cause the liver to lose its balance. If this condition goes on for a long time, heat will accumulate. The body will then be unable to regulate menstrual blood accordingly, hence causing early period.
Symptoms: dark purple in color, contain blood clots
Method: relieve stress; avoid eating spicy food, and sleep early.
✔️CheckCheckCin Beauty Tea Recommendation : Stress
Ingredients: Rose, Sweet Osmanthus, Fingered Citron, Fingered Citron Flower
Effects: Promotes qi circulation and relieves stagnation. Relieves busy lifestyle, frequent sighing, stressfulness, menstrual discomfort.
