【過節美食】Glamping燒烤是你今年中秋的選擇嗎？ ⭐不妨自備清熱降火水果 ⭐本身熱氣的話要吃得節制 #星期一踢走BlueMonday 中秋燒烤健康吃 燒烤是中秋節的熱門活動，吃著燒雞翼加杯冰凍啤酒，簡直人生一大享受！然而從中醫角度來看，燒烤能讓身體生熱、上火。秋天天氣乾燥，加上坐在火爐旁邊屬於「火邪」，燒烤過的食物亦會令其屬性偏熱，所以BBQ過後出現咽喉痛、聲沙、乾咳、痰中帶血絲、大便乾結等症狀，都是受熱邪影響。燒烤食物多以肉類為主，醃肉醬、沙嗲醬等都屬肥甘厚味食物，生冷啤酒亦會與體內聚濕生熱，影響脾胃功能，引起濕熱症狀。 那麼中醫不建議燒烤嗎？偶一為之還是可以的，以下分享幾個健康燒烤小貼士，將燒烤對健康的影響盡量減低。 1. 多走動 燒烤期間最忌坐著不動，長時間對著火爐感受「火邪」，記得起身多走動。 2. 天然調味料 忌用高鹽高脂的現成調味醬汁醃肉，不如多用香草如金不換、芫茜、百里香、黑椒、檸檬等調味，健康美味。 3. 蔬菜水果不可少 燒烤中肉類海鮮永遠是主角，勿忘準備不同顏色的蔬菜，例如番薯、粟米、三色椒、紅蘿蔔等，菠蘿有助消化肉食，亦屬平性水果，可以適量食用。 4. 自備清熱飲品 冰凍汽水和啤酒固然吸引，但生冷飲品易令身體聚濕，損傷脾胃功能，建議自備有清熱功效的茶療、紙包米水、茶飲，減低燒烤為身體帶來的負擔。 胖大海菊花茶 功效：清熱利咽，紓緩口乾、咽喉痛等燥熱症狀。 材料：胖大海2－3顆、杭菊花10朵、蜂蜜適量 做法：將胖大海拍碎，蜂蜜以外的材料洗淨放入保溫瓶，用熱開水沖洗一遍，再注入熱開水焗15分鐘，放涼一點後加入適量蜂蜜調味即可。此茶可反覆沖泡至味淡。 ✔推介紙包朝米水 🛒全線 CheckCheckCin 米水茶飲分店有售： 上環店｜上環蘇杭街4-6號啟豐大廈地下 銅鑼灣店｜銅鑼灣告士打道311號皇室堡地下G14號舖 太古誠品店｜東區太古城道18號太古城中心1樓L109舖 尖沙咀誠品店｜尖沙咀梳士巴利道3號星光行2樓L216櫃位 元朗店｜元朗朗日路8號形點II A262a號舖 將軍澳店｜將軍澳唐德街9號將軍澳中心地下G91號舖 歡迎 Facebook inbox 或 WhatsApp 訂購： Facebook: http://bit.ly/CCC-FB WhatsApp: ＋852-9347 4374 https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=85293474374 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。 Stay healthy while enjoying the mid-autumn barbecue Barbecue is a well-loved activity during the Mid-Autumn festival. Eating barbecued chicken wings and enjoying a can of chilled beer are one of life’s greatest enjoyments! Yet, from the perspective of Chinese Medicine, barbecue can cause heat in the body. Autumn’s weather is dry; sitting by the fire pit will attract the pathogenic factor of fire. Barbecued food is also hot in nature, hence symptoms like sore throat, coarse voice, dry cough, blood-streaked phlegm and dry stools might appear after a BBQ session. Barbecued food is comprised of mostly meat; marinade and satay sauce are high in fat content and highly flavored; chilled beer will also accumulate heat in the body, affecting the functions of the spleen and stomach, and causing the body to be in the damp-heat condition. Does this mean Chinese medicine practitioners do not recommend barbecue sessions? Well, once in a blue moon is fine. Here are some tips to reduce barbecue’s negative impact on our health.

【季節食養】正所謂春耕、夏耘、秋收、冬藏  #入秋後要調整飲食模式了 #潤肺才能為身體深層補水 #星期一踢走BlueMonday  抗秋燥飲食秘笈 秋風送爽讓人感到舒暢無比，但隨之而來的是咽乾喉涸、聲音沙啞、皮膚乾燥甚至咳嗽，這也是乾燥氣候在作怪 。中醫理論認為過份乾燥就會成為燥邪，燥能抽乾身體裡的津液，令身體失於濡潤，出現燥熱症狀，是為「秋燥」。要減少秋燥對身體的影響，可以從飲食方面入手，透過以下兩招抗秋燥大法，挑選合適食物以調整身體機能。  第一招 潤肺養陰 肺主秋，秋天之氣與肺臟相通，中醫所指的肺臟，還包括呼吸道、水份代謝及免疫力等等，肺臟「上通鼻竅，外合皮毛」，燥邪可以從鼻和皮膚入侵，「燥邪傷人，容易耗人津液」，所以在秋天我們的鼻、氣管、喉嚨、肺、皮膚容易出毛病。想紓緩秋燥帶來的不適，除了多喝水補濕外，更重要是潤肺養陰，多進食具潤肺生津、養陰潤燥功效的食材，例如雪梨、雪耳、花旗參、百合、芝麻、蜂蜜、枇杷、石斛、杏仁、海底椰、玉竹、沙參等。  第二招 減辛增酸 秋天空氣濕度下降，人體水份加快蒸發，容易引致口乾、咽喉腫痛、咳嗽、便秘等症狀，所以要避免進食辛辣、烤炸食物，以免加速耗損身體津液，加重秋燥。亦要避免進食耗散陽氣的食物，例如薑、蔥、蒜、辣椒等辛辣發散之物。 秋天宜多吃「酸」，酸味食物有收斂、止澀的功效，配合秋天收斂氣之餘，酸味食物亦能刺激人體分泌更多津液，以達到潤燥的目的，不妨多吃橙、檸檬、柚子、葡萄、石榴、士多啤梨、番茄等酸性食物，紓緩秋燥不適。  Dietary tips to relieve autumn dryness The autumn wind is cool and refreshing, but it also brings dry throat, coarse voice, dry skin and even coughing. This is due to the dry weather. Chinese medicine believes that excessive dryness can lead to the dry pathogens. Dryness can drain fluid in the body, causing the body to lose its moisture and lead to heat and dry symptoms. To reduce the impact of autumn dryness on the body, you can start from diet adjustments with the following two measures and select the right food to optimize the body function.  Tip 1- moistens lungs and nourishes yin  Autumn qi is connected with the lungs. The lungs in Chinese medicine includes the respiratory tract, water metabolism and immunity. The lungs are "connect with the nose and the outer skin", and the dryness can invade from the nose and skin. Dryness harms and easily consumes fluids, so our nose, trache, throat, lungs, and skin are prone to have problems during autumn. To alleviate the discomfort caused by autumn dryness, in addition to drinking plenty of water to moisturise, it is important to moisten the lungs and nourish yin by eating more ingredients that can moisten lungs, promote fluid, nourish yin and moisten dryness. These ingredients are pear, snow fungus, American ginseng, lily bulb, sesame, honey, loquat, dendrobium, almonds, sea coconut, radix ophiopogonis, radix adenophorae, etc.  (to be con’t in comment) #男 #女 #我枯燥 #陰虛 #喉嚨痛
