氣虛人先健脾後補氣

【男人檔案 — 愛哭鬼】
年齡：29歲
飲食習慣：正餐份量吃得少，愛吃零食
體型特徵：中等身型、肌肉鬆弛、容易頭暈、感冒、易出汗、說話聲音偏小
性格：內向、多愁善感

男人心聲：我自小就很眼淺，無論看書或者看電影也很容易代入角色而流眼淚，但這個社會總覺得男人哭就是懦弱的表現，我也很想令自己變得Man一點，嘗試過去健身，但運動不久就上氣不接下氣，很難堅持下去。

EC分析：容易哭不是一件醜事，容易傷春悲秋的人大概都有顆憐憫之心，應該很會體貼別人。但如果你想改善體質，就要處理氣虛的狀況，因為肺氣虛弱的人傾向多愁善感，容易產生哀傷情緒，氣虛體質亦令你做運動時有力有不逮的感覺，運動要適可宜止，避免過分流汗。

EC建議：飲食清淡，健脾補氣！
首先要戒掉吃零食及生冷食物的壞習慣，多進食白米、小米、薯仔等有補氣功效的食物，平日亦可多吃有健脾功效的食物例如淮山、白扁豆、薏米等，因為脾胃好才能吸收食物中的營養；適量進食補氣食物如人參、花旗參、紅棗、鵪鶉等。鍛鍊身體由強度小的運動做起，如太極、步行、伸展運動等，並注意循序漸進。

健脾補氣米水
功效：健脾補氣，紓緩感覺疲倦、容易反覆腹瀉等症狀。
材料：紅米1湯匙、白米1湯匙、生薏米半湯匙、淮山15克
做法：材料洗淨，加入800毫升水以武火煮滾後轉文火煮30分鐘即可。此米水可煮後倒入保溫瓶，反覆沖泡至味淡，建議連續飲用2-3天。

Tips for those with qi deficiency body type

[Male profile- cry baby]
Age: 29
Eating habits: eating very little at regular meals, love to eat snacks
Physical characteristics: moderate body shape, loose muscles, prone to dizziness, cold/flu, prone to sweating, quiet voice
Personality: introverted, sentimental

Thoughts: I cry easily since I was young. Whether it is a book or a movie, I really feel for the characters and tear up easily. But in this society, men crying is a sign of cowardice. I want to man up myself. I have tried to go to the gym, but I run out of breath quickly after just a few minutes.

EC’s analysis: It is not embarrassing to cry, and people who get sad usually are compassionate and emphatic to others. If you want to improve your body type, you need to deal with the condition of qi deficiency. As people with weak lung qi tend to be sentimental and get sad easily. It is tiring to do exercise with qi deficiency body type, so do moderate exercise to prevent excessive sweating.

EC’s suggestion: have a light diet, strengthen spleen and replenish qi
First of all, quit the bad habit of snacking and eating cold/raw food. Eat more foods that can replenish qi such as white rice, millet, potato. You can also eat foods that can strengthen spleen, such as Chinese yam, hyacinth bean, coix seed as a healthy spleen and stomach can absorb the nutrients in foods. Appropriately consume foods that can replenish qi such as ginseng, American ginseng, Chinese red date, quail. Start doing low-intensity exercises, such as Tai Chi, walking, stretching. Remember to go through the steps accordingly.

Rice water to strengthen spleen and replenish qi
Effects: strengthens spleen and replenishes qi
Ingredients: 1 tablespoons red rice, 1 tablespoon of white rice, half tablespoon of coix seeds, 15g Chinese yam
