【黑面神上身？】好運遇上黑面神都調頭走

⭐天生黑面宜多點笑容
⭐後天黑面宜養腎
#星期五湯水

送走黑面神湯水
「咦？小姐你印堂發黑，恐有一劫！」這是電視劇裡常有的情節，如果一個人面色發黑，從中醫角度來看，黑色對應腎，是腎陽不足的表現，容易導致畏寒肢冷、頭暈、耳鳴、神疲乏力、腰膝痠軟、小便自遺、大便稀爛或凌晨3-5時會腹瀉等症狀，嚴重的話會導致男士陽萎、遺精或早洩，而女士有痛經、閉經甚至難有孕，這樣的「黑面神」狀態，的確更容易令人「頭頭碰著黑」。
先天不足、年老體衰、思慮勞碌、房勞過度、熬夜等均會導致腎精不足，想改善症狀要避免熬夜及縱慾過度，適量進食黑色養腎食物如黑木耳、黑豆、黑芝麻、黑棗、海參等，每日飲用含黑芝麻及黑豆的夕米水亦有幫助。

食材小貼士：
杜仲性溫，能補肝腎、強筋骨，並有安胎作用。

淮山栗子烏雞湯
功效：補肝腎，紓緩腰膝痠軟、容易疲倦等症狀。

Drink this soup and say goodbye to dull skin
“Hey, your face is dark and dull. I’m afraid that’s a bad omen!” This is a common scene, which often appears in drama series. From the perspective of Chinese Medicine, dark and dullness reflect the lack of the yang energy in the kidneys.

Individuals with this condition can develop aversion to cold and experience dizziness, tinnitus, fatigue, soreness on the waist and knees, urinary incontinence, or diarrhea between 3am-5am.

In more severe cases, men might develop erectile dysfunction, spermatorrhea (involuntary ejaculation), or premature ejaculation, whereas women might suffer from menstrual pain and amenorrhea (the absence of menstruation) and not be able to conceive easily. Come to think of it, these problems could indeed be regarded as bad omens.

Congenital issues, old age, fatigue and stress, excessive intercourse, staying up late will exhaust the essence of the kidney. To improve the condition, avoid staying up late and over-indulging in sexual activities.

Consume black-colored ingredients such as black fungus, black bean, black date, and sea cucumber as they could nourish the kidneys. Drinking dusk rice water that contains black sesames and black bean daily could also help improve the organ’s health.

Tips on ingredient:
Eucommia bark is warm in nature; can nourish the liver and kidney, strengthen the bones and joints, and stabilize pregnancy.

【一臉病容】每月總有幾日面無血色嚇親人

#星期三CheckCheckMail

月經到就面青唇白？
黎小姐：「每次月經到我都面青唇白，有一次甚至把男友嚇倒，他以為我重病呢！」

（二）氣滯血瘀型體質女生經前一兩天或月經期小腹脹痛，多伴隨乳房脹痛或有血塊，身體氣血運行不暢，氣滯、血瘀積聚胞宮引致痛經，面部脈絡血行阻滯，於是面呈青色。月經前宜適量進食玫瑰花、益母草、田七、白蘿蔔、山楂、火龍果玫瑰茶、山楂烏龍茶米水等。

✔️CheckCheckCin 米水推介：火龍果玫瑰茶
材料：紅火龍果、玫瑰花、白毫烏龍

Do you become pale during menstruation?
“My lips and face always turn pale during menstruation. One time, my boyfriend was so shocked that he thought I was severely ill!”

CheckCheckCin: From the perspective of Chinese Medicine, a person’s complexion becomes pale when there is a stagnation of qi and cold in the body and the disruption of the circulation in the Meridians, blood, and qi.

(1) Women with a weak and cold body constitution can become pale easily. They would also experience soreness on the waist. Try pressing or placing something warm on the abdomen to relieve the pain during and after menstruation.

Consuming raw and cold food regularly or catching a cold can cause cold and dampness pathogens to attack the body, hence, causing menstrual pain. It would be beneficial for individuals to consume cinnamon, ginger, longan, brown sugar, roasted rice water, and ‘Blushing (herbal tea)’.

(2) Women with the qi-stagnation and blood-stasis body constitution might experience bloating and pain on the abdomen a day or two before the period. Other symptoms include breast swelling or menstrual clot.

Poor circulation of the qi and blood, stagnation of the qi, the accumulation of blood in the uterus are causes of pain during period. The stagnation of the Meridians and blood would further cause the color to drain from the face. Hence, women should consume rose flower, motherwort, Panax Notoginseng, white radish, Chinese hawthorn, ‘Dragon Fruit Rose Tea
（rice water）’, and ‘Chinese Hawthorn Tea（rice water)’.

✔ CheckCheckCin Rice Water Recommendation : Dragon Fruit Rose Tea
Ingredients: Dragon Fruit Juice, Rose, Oolong Tea
Effects: Relieves stress, moistens the bowels to relieve constipation. Suitable for difficulty passing stool, stress, frequent sighs, and dull complexion.
*Not suitable for pregnant women and women during menstruation

✔ CheckCheckCin Rice Water Recommendation: Chinese Hawthorn Tea
Ingredients: Hawthorn, Oolong Tea
Effects:Aids weight loss and improves fat-burn, regulates qi to enhance blood flow. Suitable for indigestion, dull complexion, skin discoloration and chubbiness.
*Not suitable for pregnant women and women during menstruation

✔ CheckCheckCin Rice Water Recommendation: Fried Rice Water
Ingredients: Fried White Rice
Effects: Warms the stomach and dispels cold. Warms limbs.

✔ CheckCheckCin Beauty Tea Recommendation: Blushing
Ingredients: Red date, dried longan, wolfberry, chrysanthemum, sweet osmanthus, American ginseng, Maojian tea, rock sugar
Effects: Nourishes blood and calms the mind. Relieves asthenic cold spleen and stomach, pale complexion and cold limbs.

【太曬傷身】熱邪過盛身體應付不了就會病

⭐外出宜準備防曬裝備
⭐多吃瓜類多喝水
#星期三CheckCheckMail

移民點煲湯？
番茄綠豆湯抗炎熱
✈️ 香港人習慣喝湯養生，移民後怎樣煲湯？人在異鄉煲湯材料可能不易買，其實只要留意食材屬性，尋常食材亦能煲碗靚湯，有助強身防病！💪🏻

Sofia：「最近移居到陽光普照的洛杉磯，炎熱得來帶點乾燥，有何湯水推介？」

CheckCheckCin：陽光普照被視為好天氣，但熱邪過盛也會消耗氣和陰液，所以炎熱天氣下我們特別容易出暗瘡、頭瘡、喉嚨痛、發燒等上火症狀。如果所住地區溫暖又乾燥，身體需要一點點偏涼的湯水，宜選擇屬性偏涼的蔬菜入饌，例如番茄、西芹、青/白蘿蔔、白菜等，配搭具清熱解毒、消暑祛濕功效的綠豆，有助清熱解毒。

番茄 — 性涼，有生津止渴、健胃消食、涼血平肝功效，適合發熱口乾、食慾不振者食用，它亦有護膚美白的功效。惟注意番茄性涼，胃寒人士不宜食用，寒性痛經女士在月經期間勿吃，胃酸過多者不宜空腹食用。

番茄薯仔綠豆湯
功效：清熱健脾，紓緩炎熱天氣帶來的口乾、喉嚨痛、悶熱等症狀。
材料：番茄3個、薯仔2個、椰菜半個、西芹2細條、綠豆20克
做法：
1. 所有材料洗淨，番茄切件；薯仔去皮切塊；椰菜及西芹切塊備用。
2. 鍋中加入2000毫升水，放入全部材料，武火煮至水滾，調文火煮1.5小時，最後下鹽調味即可。

Making soup in a foreign country
Tomato mung bean soup can combat summer-heat

✈️ Hong Kong citizens are used to drinking soup to maintain our health, but how do we make soup when we have immigrated to another country? It might not be easy to get our hands on the ingredients, but as long as we pay attention to the nature of the ingredients, we will still be able to make healthy and tasty soups! 💪🏻

”I recently moved to Los Angeles, which has sunny weather that makes me feel hot all the time. Do you have any soup to recommend?”

CheckCheckCin: People often regard the sunny sky as good weather, but it could be a problem when heat accumulates and becomes a pathogenic factor. According to Chinese Medicine theories, the pathogenic factor can invade the body and exhaust the yin, and this is why we experience dry mouth and sore throat easily.

When the body cannot dissipate heat on time, yin-yang balance is disrupted, causing us to develop a heatstroke. Therefore, individuals who live in dry and warm areas should consume soups and vegetables that are cool in nature such as tomato, celery, green/white radish, Chinese cabbage, not forgetting mung beans, which can relieve the summer-heat and clear toxins from the body.

Tomato - cool in nature, has the effects of promoting fluid promotion, quenching thirst, strengthening the stomach, aiding digestion, cooling blood and calming the liver. Suitable for fever, dry mouth, those with poor appetite. It can nourish and whiten skin. But it is cool in nature making it not suitable for those with cold stomachs. Women with cold type menstrual pain should not eat tomatoes during menstruation. Those with gastric hyperacidity should not consume it with an empty stomach.

Tomato and potato soup with mung bean
Effects: Clears heat and strengthens the spleen, relieves dry mouth, sore throat, stuffiness and other symptoms caused by hot weather.
Ingredients: 3 tomatoes, 2 potatoes, 1/2 cabbage, 2 stalks of celery, 20g mung bean
Preparation:
1. Rinse all ingredients thoroughly. Cut the tomato into pieces. Peel the potato and cut into pieces. Cut the cabbage and celery into pieces.
2. Combine all ingredients with 2000ml of water in a pot and cook on high heat until boiling. Turn to low heat and simmer for 1.5 hours. Add salt to taste.

This week, we brought back Emily Cardinali on the show! She was one of our very first producers, and she had really wanted to cover sustainable menstrual products with us. So, after our interview with Isabel Aagard last episode, we reached out to Emily about her own experiences with green tampons.


N8 and Emily discuss the guilt of half of our human population, tips on identifying sustainable products, and the pros and cons of every sort of menstrual product sold on the market.
