Since we were young, the snails we knew are the ones crawling on the ground on rainy days. So why are they called river snails? We should be quite familiar with river snail stir-fried with chili. Actually, the typical snail is a type of shelled gastropod, whereas the escargot is specifically cultivated for French cuisine. Please note that it is unsafe to consume snails from the wild. From the perspective of Chinese Medicine, river snail is cold in nature, can clear heat, brighten one’s vision, quench one’s thirst and has diuretic properties. In Chinese cooking, river snails are often cooked with ingredients that are warm in nature, such as ginger, onion, garlic and chili, to balance out its coldness. As for French cuisine, chefs would normally prepare escargot with simple vanilla butter. Once baked at a high temperature, the fragrance of the butter would seep into the flesh. Try to close your eyes and enjoy the taste, imagine yourself travelling in France! River snail – cold in nature, can clear heart, brighten one’s vision, quench one’s thirst and has diuretic properties, is suitable for individuals with symptoms such as water retention, urination, bleeding hemorrhoids, and swelling and pain of the eyes. Since it is cold in nature, it is not suitable for individuals with a weak spleen and loose stools, a cold stomach and those experiencing frequent stomachache;（To be cont in comment column)

【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.

【季節養生】天氣太熱無胃口？  ⭐️雪糕冰品凍飲其實是偽消暑食物 ⭐️多吃生冷食物令脾胃差胃口更差 #星期二提升正能量  夏天太熱沒胃口？ 夏天給艷陽曬一曬，整天都身體乏力、精神狀態不佳、食慾下降、心情煩躁，還伴有胸悶、噁心的症狀，身體又輕微的發熱，但又不至於中暑，有人稱這種狀態為「苦夏」，中醫理論認為炎熱季節暑氣當令，暑熱傷了元氣會令人感到不適，暑濕邪氣亦會乘虛而入，尤其平日脾胃虛弱的人，在夏天多吃生冷食物，就會進一步損傷脾胃功能，更容易出現苦夏症狀。 要紓緩苦夏症狀，可以通過飲食調理，首先要保持飲食清淡，少吃油膩、重口味食物，以減輕腸胃負擔。其次可適量進食苦味食物，因為苦味食物多有清心涼血、健脾利尿以及緩解暑熱的功效，例如苦瓜、生菜、萵筍、芫茜、薄荷葉等。適量的酸味食物可以刺激食慾，亦能促進胃酸分泌，例如番茄、橙、士多啤梨等。 如果身體有濕的症狀，包括舌苔白色而濕潤黏膩、大便稀爛甚至黏馬桶、睡醒仍然疲倦不堪等，就要適量祛濕，多吃健脾化濕食物如白米、赤小豆、淮山、薏米、扁豆衣等，每天飲一杯米水，都可以有助強健脾胃，驅走濕氣，回復胃口。  ✔推介米水：朝米水 功效：去水腫、消胃脹、改善面黃  🛒歡迎 Facebook inbox 或 WhatsApp 訂購： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CheckCheckCin/ 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。  Summer heat leads to lack of appetite  Exposure to summer heat may lead to fatigue and appetite loss, and we may not be in our best mental state which leads to irritability. We may feel tightness in the chest and nausea, yet not to the extent of suffering from a heatstroke. Some would call this condition as “Ku-Xia” in Mandarin, which literally means the bitterness experienced during summer. Theoretically, Chinese Medicine views that the heatwave during the hot season would hurt qi, a person’s internal vigor, allowing the heat from the damp-heat to enter the body. This is especially true in the case of individuals with asthenic spleen and stomach. Eating raw and cold food during summer will further deterioriate the functions of their spleen and stomach, worsening the “Ku-Xia” symptoms. Through dietary management, we will be able to alleviate the “Ku-Xia” condition. First of all, keep your meals light, avoid eating deep-fried and heavily flavoured foods to reduce the burden on the intestines. Next, consume an appropriate amount of bitter foods, such as bittergourd, lettuce, Chinese lettuce, coriander and mint, as they can flush out the body heat and cleanse the blood, strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis. An appriopriate amount of sour foods such as tomatoes, oranges and strawberries, can also stimulate appetite as well as the secretion of gastric acid. (to be con’t in comment) #男 #女 #我煩躁 #痰濕
