血虛不只是一味補血，還要配合補氣。 #正能量星期二 #要白裡透紅其實唔難 小孩作息及飲食有時，不似成人百般任性，所以常見小孩們的臉色多是白裡透紅。都市人工作繁忙而且壓力甚大，每天都休息不足，甚至運動過度，如兩三個小時連續做時興的高溫瑜珈、腳踏車、馬拉松等消耗體力的流汗運動，反而會過度耗損血液津液，長期演變成血虛體質。血虛不一定是西醫角度的貧血，但也會有人即使檢驗時血色素合符水平，但在中醫角度是血虛。假如你覺得自己一直面色和唇色蒼白、又特別容易頭暈眼花、經常要深呼吸、有心悸、甚至脫髮、指甲容易折斷、皮膚乾燥、女性月經不調，月經量少、顏色淡紅，嚴重者甚至會停經等等，都屬於血虛的表現。想面色紅卜卜？就是好好養氣血！ 宜： - 適量進食補氣血食物，如紅豆米水、黨參、黃芪、紅棗、紅豆、龍眼肉、雪耳等 - 適量進食溫補蔬果如南瓜、櫻桃、水蜜桃、芒果、薑等 - 飲食要均衡，身體才能吸收不同營養 - 盡量多休息，充足睡眠可補足陰血 忌： - 生冷寒涼及油膩食物，影響脾胃運化及吸收功能 - 「久視傷血」不宜過長時間注視電話及電腦螢幕 - 過量運動及流汗反會傷血 - 過度思慮和憂慮增加脾胃負擔 推介秋季養氣血茶飲： 材料：北芪 9克、麥冬 9克、祛核紅棗2-3枚 做法：將材料洗淨，保溫瓶加入沸水，焗10分鐘即可。 功效：益氣養血。舒緩面色偏白、 指甲容易折斷、無光澤、多汗等症狀。 注意：身體有偏熱症狀、感冒未清者不宜服用。 How does one achieve skin that’s white and rosy? You usually see rosy yet white healthy complexion on children because they tend to eat and rest at regular times. Working adults tend to have high levels of stress without adequate rest. Some may suddenly decide to overwork their bodies with long hours of sweat inducing exercises such as hot yoga, biking and marathon. This creates excessive burden on blood and fluid and can lead to blood asthenia body constitution over time. Blood asthenia is not necessarily the same as anemia in Western medicine. Common symptoms include pale complexion and lip color, prone to dizziness, tightness in chest, needing to deep breath, hair loss, brittle nails, dry skin, irregular menstruation with low volume and pale red color (in more serious cases, onset of menopause)- these are all symptoms of blood asthenia.
