【了解體質】手心發熱代表身體好？

⭐加上失眠又心煩氣燥
⭐其實是陰氣不足作怪
#星期五湯水

五心煩熱要滋陰
聽見中醫說「五心煩熱」，「五心」究竟在哪裡？五心是指兩隻手心、兩隻足心及心胸，跟據中醫理論，手足心及心胸在人體裡屬陰，陰虛則熱生於內，出現五心發熱的情況，全身體溫卻未必跟著升高，由於手掌發熱，特別喜歡手握冷物，而睡覺時喜歡將手腳伸出被外。五心煩熱症狀多出現於長期熬夜、嗜吃辛辣食物、情志不舒、更年期、手術後虛熱未清的陰虛體質人士身上，由於身體缺水乾涸，容易出現口乾舌燥、皮膚乾燥、便秘、失眠等伴隨症狀。想改善情況，平日宜適量進食滋陰食物，例如雪耳、沙參、百合、石斛、花旗參等，少吃辛辣、煎炸油膩食物，戒掉晚睡熬夜都有助紓緩陰虛症狀。

滋陰潤燥湯水小貼士：
適當地添加滋陰潤燥功效的食材如百合、石斛、花旗參等。

Replenish yin to relieve burning sensation of the five centres
There is a phrase in Chinese that refers to ‘burning sensation of the five centres, but where exactly are these ‘five centres’? They actually refer to the left and right palms and soles of our feet, as well as our chest.

According to the Chinese medicine theories, these five centres are yin in nature, and if an individual is deficient of yin, his or her body will produce heat from within, causing the five centres to feel warm. Nevertheless, the body temperature may not increase. Individuals with this condition like to grab cool objects, as their palms are constantly giving out heat, and when they sleep, they tend to extend their hands and legs out of the blanket.

The burning sensation of the five centres is often caused by frequent late nights, obsession with spicy food, emotional distress, menopause and stagnant heat in the body during the post-surgery period, and the feeling often happens to individuals with yin deficiency. As the body remains constantly dehydrated, other related symptoms such as dry mouth and tongue, dry skin, constipation and insomnia will also become apparent.

In order to improve such condition, do consume food that will nourish the yin, for instance, snow fungus, glehnia root, lily bulb, dendrobium and American ginseng; cut down on spicy, deep-fried and greasy food, and cultivate the habit of sleeping early, as it can help relieve symptoms caused by the yin deficiency.
Tips for soup to nourish yin and relieve dryness :
Appropriately add in ingredients such as lily bulb, dendrobium and American ginseng.

💦The water cycle &The carbon cycle ☀️

本週英文課主題複習了有點難的The water cycle（水循環）
以及媽媽第一次聽到的The carbon cycle （碳循環）
小孩對這種溫故知新的教導方式都非常賞臉
最後的show and tell表現也越來越好
時間也比第一次課程時拉長許多
超感謝Helen 的用心指導😃

💦The water cycle 💦
📌Evaporation(蒸發）
👉 to cause a liquid to change to a gas,especially by heating

📌Condensation （凝結）
👉 The drops of water that appear on coldwindows or other surfaces.
As a result of hot air or steam becoming cool

📌Precipitation （降水）
👉Water that falls from the clouds to the ground

📌Collection （集水）
👉 A group of objects of one type they have been collected in a place

☀️The carbon cycle ☀️

📌碳循環是一種生物地質化學循環

👉碳循環描述了碳元素在地球上的回收和重複利用

👉也就是碳元素在地球上這五大區域循環
1️⃣生物圈
2️⃣岩石圈
3️⃣土壤圈
4️⃣水圈
5️⃣大氣圈

📌交換碳的主要來源有四個：
1️⃣大氣
2️⃣陸上的生物圈
3️⃣海洋
4️⃣沉積物（石油）

📌二氧化「碳」的使用

1️⃣植物：光合作用需要二氧化碳參與
2️⃣動物：食植物
3️⃣化石燃料：生物屍體在地底或水底壓縮、高溫，行成化石燃料儲存大量的碳
4️⃣海中生物：有殼動物利用海水的碳製造殼
5️⃣地質：二氧化碳與水結合成碳酸，與地質的鈣合成碳酸鈣，即鐘乳石

📌二氧化「碳」的產生
1️⃣呼吸作用：動植物、細菌、真菌皆能釋放二氧化碳
2️⃣分解：細菌、真菌分解屍體會釋放二氧化碳
3️⃣燃燒：燃燒時釋放二氧化碳
4️⃣海中生物：貝殼破裂、生物死亡會釋放出二氧化碳
5️⃣其他：碳酸鈣遇酸雨會釋放出二氧化碳

🎀結論🎀
碳循環是一個很新穎的話題
從課程中媽媽也獲得新知😃
這也讓我們反思現在大家對二氧化碳聞之色變
彷彿二氧化碳就是造成地球暖化的原兇
讓「二氧化碳」與負面畫上等號
但若能好好從碳循環去認識「碳」元素在地球上、生態上扮演的角色
大家是否對「二氧化碳」有不一樣的看法？

無論是生態圈、食物鍊
每個環節都是相當精巧（delicate ）的組合
每個各體都扮演重要角色
因此對於地球上的每個生命、物質
應該都予以尊重才能共存共榮❤️
