【壓力山大】男人較少將壓力問題宣之於口

⭐從生活習慣可窺探壓力嚴重程度
⭐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。

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.

#星期三CheckCheckMail

慎吃助孕中成藥
初歸新抱：「奶奶恨抱孫，最近送我很多白鳳丸，她說朋友的女兒吃了順利懷孕，我適合吃嗎？」

CheckCheckCin：坊間針對女性健康的中成藥選擇眾多，有些人服用後有效，有些人服用後無效，其實很視乎自己的體質是否適合食用，所以宜先了解成份。出產白鳳丸的品牌眾多，一般標榜能補氣養血調經，常見加入烏雞、當歸、黃芪等材料製造，屬性偏溫熱，比較適合氣血虛弱體質人士服用，但如果屬於濕熱、血瘀、陰虛火旺體質，再增補氣血恐怕只會幫倒忙。服用前宜先諮詢註冊中醫師意見，了解自己體質，再決定如何調理身體。 平日可於米水裡加入黑豆、黑芝麻，有助養腎烏髮，而忙碌一族可以一星期飲用2-3次疏肝茶或帶花香的花茶有助疏肝解鬱。

✔推介茶療：疏肝
材料：玫瑰花、桂花、佛手、佛手花。
功效：行氣解鬱，適合忙碌、經常嘆氣、精神壓力大、月經不適等問題。
注意：孕婦及月經期間不宜。

✔推介茶療：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、暗啞肌膚的人士。

Be cautious with medicinal herbs that aid pregnancy

“My mother-in-law is very eager to have grandchildren. Recently she gifted me a lot of Bak Foong pills, claiming her friend’s daughter got pregnant after eating them. Are they suitable for me?”

CheckCheckCin: There are many varieties of Chinese patent medicines available for women in the market, some find them effective; some do not. The effectiveness of these medicines depends on individuals’ body condition; hence, it is wise to understand their ingredients first.

There are many manufacturing brands of Bak Foong pills, but they share some similar medicinal values – replenish the qi, nourish the blood and regulate menstruation. The commonly used ingredients are black bone chicken, Angelica root (‘dang gui’) and Astragalus root (‘huang qi’). They are warm in nature, suitable for individuals with qi and blood deficiency. However, the effect may backfire for individuals with damp heat body condition, those who are susceptible to blood stasis, or those with yin deficiency, as they are not suitable to replenish qi and blood.

Before taking the pills, consult a registered Chinese medicine practitioner first to understand your body condition, so you can decide on the treatment accordingly. On regular days, you can boil rice water with black beans and black sesame seeds to nourish the kidney and help grow healthier and darker hair; individuals with busy schedule can drink tea that soothes the liver or herbal tea with floral fragrance 2 – 3 times a week to relieve stress.

✔Beauty Tea Recommendation:
Stress
Ingredients: Rose, Sweet Osmanthus, Fingered Citron, Fingered Citron Flower
Effects: Promotes qi circulation and relieves stagnation. Suitable for busy lifestyle, frequent sighing, stressfulness and menstrual discomfort
Note：Not suitable for pregnant or menstruating women.

✔Herbal Tea 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.

嚴肅認真。
滿身大汗下山後，洗好澡，為自己調上一杯 檸檬汁+檸檬皮+冰塊+清水+零卡可樂 的 居家零酒精軟性飲料，爽度無異於 週末狂歡的微醺調酒，簡直顱內高潮了，哈哈哈~

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
以下來自網路文章介紹 檸檬：

檸檬皮的8大好處你不得不知，還能治病！

檸檬中含有糖類、鈣、磷、鐵及維生素B1、B2、C等多種營養成分，此外，還有豐富的檸檬酸和黃酮類、揮髮油、橙皮甙等。檸檬酸具有防止和消除皮膚色素沉著的作用。

美白
由於檸檬維生素含量極為豐富，因此檸檬水是美容的佳品，能防止和消除皮膚色素沉著，起到美白的作用;
防治心血管疾病
喝檸檬水還可以防治心血管疾病，因為檸檬水能緩解鈣離子促使血液凝固的作用，所以可預防和輔助治療高血壓和心肌。

防治腎結石
檸檬水中含有大量檸檬酸鹽，能夠抑制鈣鹽結晶，從而阻止腎結石形成，甚至可以使部分慢性腎結石患者的結石減少、變少。美國泌尿學會年會上公布的研究成果也表明，常喝含檸檬汁的飲料可提高尿中的檸檬酸酯水平，該化學物質能預防尿中的礦物質在腎內形成結晶體即腎結石。

提高免疫力

檸檬含有豐富的維生素C，具有抗菌、提高免疫力、協助骨膠原生成等多種功效，經常喝檸檬水，可以補充維生素C。感冒時一天喝上500至1000毫升的檸檬水，可以減輕流鼻涕，感冒散得也快，尤其是剛感冒時，可以不藥而愈。除了抗菌及提升免疫力，還有開胃消食、生津止渴及解暑的功效。
祛痰
更鮮為人知的是，檸檬也能祛痰，且祛痰功效比橙和柑橘還要強。將檸檬汁加溫開水和鹽，飲之可將喉嚨里積聚的濃痰順利咳出。感冒初起時，不妨用檸檬加蜜糖沖水飲，可以緩解咽喉痛、減少喉嚨乾等不適。

檸檬的好處真的很多，能美白、減肥、消斑、美齒、美體、美發、去皺等等，除此之外，檸檬還有什麼妙用呢？

檸檬皮還是很有用的呢。
1、除廚具、餐具腥味
用一小碗溫開水將榨乾汁的檸檬皮泡漲，再倒進有茶垢、油跡、水跡等的廚房用具或水杯里，4~5個小時後，這些污跡將會一抹而去。
2、除鍋垢
如果鍋底發黑，放點檸檬皮加水在鍋里煮一下，鍋底就會變新了，而且保持很長一段時間不再氧化。
3、潔水池
洗臉池或浴缸里有水滴噠留下的黃色斑痕嗎？別犯愁，用檸檬皮擦拭就能神奇消失。
4、潔廚房牆磚
廚房瓷磚牆上，日積月累就會出現討厭難除的煙滓，試試用檸檬皮沾上少許精鹽擦拭吧。此法也可擦除大理石上的黃跡。

5、潔水龍頭
不管你信不信，新鮮的檸檬皮可以起到強效去污的作用。用檸檬皮在有污滓的水龍頭或其他金屬五金件上擦拭，無需用力，頑漬就都死光光了。
6、去手腥
廚房料理，很容易就弄得一手魚腥、肉腥或油腥，用香皂或洗衣粉也去不了味，但用檸檬皮搓手卻很管用，如果能在檸檬水裡泡泡，效果更佳。而且，用檸檬皮擦手，其所含的檸檬油可使皮膚細膩光滑。
7、除冰箱異味
再勤快的主婦都有冰箱煩惱，不管你如何用心，假以時日，拉開冰箱門的瞬間總會讓你心煩意亂。那麼每次使用檸檬做菜或是美容後，那剩餘的檸檬皮就別扔了，切碎了用紗布包好放在冰箱一角，會讓你每次開啟冰箱門時為那股怡人清香而心情愉悅。當然，要記得經常更換。

8、製冰塊
製作冰塊時，在冰格里撒點檸檬皮切成的絲或丁，會讓做好的冰塊格外帶香。你的下午茶有更好的伴侶了，而且孩子們也很愛吃。
