#星期四食材

慎防蔬菜類發物
但凡患有濕疹、瘡、疥、癬等皮膚病，長輩們都會苦口婆心叮囑不要吃牛、鵝、鴨、蝦、蟹、無鱗魚等食物，以免加重病情，這些食物中醫稱之為「發物」，發物有助邪的意思，是指能引起舊患復發、將新病加重的食物，患有暗瘡、濕疹、風疹、皮膚病或容易過敏人士要避免食用。以為多吃蔬菜就萬無一失？！其實蔬菜類亦有不少動風、助火及生痰滯氣發物，容易誘發皮膚瘡瘍腫毒，要小心留意，避免皮膚病發作。

常見蔬菜類發物：
茄子 — 為動風發物，性涼，有清熱活血，寬腸通便的功效，適合三高及有痔瘡人士食用。正因其性涼，脾胃虛寒易腹瀉，有皮膚病如濕疹或皮膚過敏、哮喘、癌症、紅斑狼瘡症患者不宜。

竹筍 — 為動風發物，性涼，具清熱化痰、利二便功效，由於筍含豐富纖維，所以具通便效果。惟注意竹筍容易透發或加重皮膚瘡瘍腫毒症狀，皮膚敏感、濕疹患者或容易出風癩者不宜吃。

芋頭 — 為生痰滯氣發物，性平，能健脾胃及化痰散結，適合淋巴腫大、婦女乳腺增生者服用。脾胃氣虛及有習慣性便秘等人士都適合。

洋蔥 — 為助火發物，性溫，具祛風發汗、行氣化痰、降血壓、降血脂功效，特別適合風寒感冒患者食用。便秘、發熱口渴、皮膚瘡癢、濕疹患者等不宜進食。

薑 — 為助火發物，薑性溫，有發汗散寒、溫中止嘔的功效，對於虛寒體質如陽虛的人士尤其適合，可紓緩因風寒感冒而引起的怕冷頭痛、胃寒引起的胃痛，以及虛寒型經痛等症狀。

蔥 — 為助火發物，性溫，有發汗解表、健胃殺菌、通陽氣散陰寒的作用，能紓緩初起的風寒感冒、鼻敏感、頭痛、胃寒等症狀。體質偏熱、陰虛火旺人士不宜多吃。

蒜 — 為助火發物，性溫，具暖脾胃、行滯氣、降血脂、殺菌功效，適合感冒病人食用，能舒緩初起的風寒感冒、食滯等症狀。由於屬性溫熱，陰虛火旺、身體有偏熱症狀如口瘡、暗瘡、喉嚨痛者不宜食用。

Beware of vegetables that are stimulating
The elders will often advise young people not to eat beef, goose, duck, prawn, crab, and fish without scales if they suffer from skin diseases like eczema, scab, scabies, and ringworm. Eating these foods, they believe, can exacerbate the problems.

⭐再好吃也要適量
⭐消化力弱的人吃兩粒應應節好了
#星期四食材

根據體質選餡料
元宵湯圓養生吃
明天就是正月十五元宵節，傳統習俗是吃湯圓，有團團圓圓的意思。湯圓由糯米粉搓成皮，包裹不同口味餡料製作而成，從中醫角度來看，湯圓甜膩，容易生濕，糯米雖暖胃，但性質黏滯滋膩難以消化，想應節只宜淺嚐，最好配合體質選擇最適合自己口味的湯圓，盡量減輕身體負擔。

湯圓餡：
黑芝麻 — 芝麻有益肝腎、養血烏髮、潤腸通便功效，尤其適合陰虛、陽虛、氣虛、血虛人士食用。
豆沙 — 豆沙由紅豆製成，紅豆具補血和胃功效，適合陰虛、陽虛、氣虛、血虛人士食用，能改善氣血虛弱情況。
花生 — 有補氣潤肺、健脾開胃功效，適合氣虛、血虛、食慾差或哺乳中的產婦進食。

問：湯圓餡流心的比較好吃？
答：流心湯圓無論視覺效果或是口感都比較好，但流心效果是因為加入了豬油或牛油，實在不宜多吃。

問：湯底越薑越好？
答：薑湯湯圓是不少人的至愛，薑湯加入了生薑和片糖炮製，生薑性熱能發汗散寒，片糖則有暖胃功效，比較適合陽虛、偏寒體質人士食用；但濕熱體質、或者身體有偏熱症狀例如喉嚨痛、口瘡、暗瘡、便秘等則不宜食用，以免火上加油。

Choose fillings based on body constitution
Make healthy sweet dumplings for Lantern Festival

Tomorrow will be the Lantern Festival, the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunar calendar. Traditionally, people will eat sweet dumplings, or ‘tang yuan‘ in Mandarin, on this day, as it symbolizes reunion. Sweet dumplings are made by rolling glutinous rice flour into a dough and then stuffing with different types of filling.

From the perspective of Chinese Medicine, sweet dumplings are sweet, have a high satiety effect, and can cause dampness in the body easily. Though glutinous rice can warm the stomach, its stickiness can cause indigestion. One can enjoy sweet dumplings but should only consume in a small quantity. Opt for fillings that are appropriate for our body constitution to help reduce the burden on the body.

Fillings in sweet dumplings:
Black sesame - nourishes the liver and kidney, nourishes blood and improve hair quality, moistens the intestine to relieve constipation. Suitable for people with yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi deficiency and blood asthenia
Red bean paste - made with red bean which replenishes blood and stomach. Suitable for people with yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi deficiency and blood asthenia. It can improve the weakness of qi and blood.
Peanut - replenishes the lungs and qi, strengthens the spleen to stimulate appetite. Suitable for those with qi deficiency, blood asthenia, poor appetite or nursing mothers.

Q: Sweet dumplings with lava fillings taste better?
A: Lava fillings give us visual pleasure and can satisfy our taste buds, but they are made of butter or lard. Hence, one should not consume sweet dumplings with lava fillings excessively.

Q: The more ginger in the sweet soup, the better it is?
A: Many people enjoy drinking ginger soup, which is made from fresh ginger and slab sugar. Fresh ginger is warm in nature and can induce sweating and dispel cold, whereas slab sugar can warm the stomach. Hence, this soup is suitable for individuals with yang deficiency, and those with a colder body constitution.

However, individuals with a damp-heat body constitution, or those with heat-related symptoms such as sore throat, canker sore, acne, and constipation should avoid drinking this soup, as it might aggravate the symptoms.

【食材不濕】坊間說食物「濕熱」或「濕」其實是對吃了該食物後身體反映出來的現象的描述而已。

⭐理論上是沒有濕的食材
⭐袪濕前先明白甚麼是濕
#星期三CheckCheckMail

「濕熱」食材會致濕？
濕滯少女：「最近芒果當造，但很多人說芒果『濕熱』的水果，其實是甚麼意思呀？」

CheckCheckCin：經常聽到有人說某種食物很「濕」或者「濕熱」，讓我們先了解一下甚麼是「濕」吧！

其實「濕」和「熱」在中醫學中是致病原因，比如「天氣潮濕」、「腸胃濕熱」等，坊間有種約定俗成的說法，但凡吃了某些食物後身體出現皮膚痕癢、全身困倦、胃腸脹悶、大便稀爛黏廁等水液代謝障礙的症狀，這些皆為「濕」或「濕熱」症狀，因此會把這類型食物冠以「濕」和「濕熱」之名。所以坊間說這些食物「濕熱」或「濕」，只是描述個別體質人士吃了這類食物後身體反映出來的現象而已，而非食物屬性為「濕」。

芒果性熱，有止嘔、止暈、解渴、利尿的功效，對於暈車或暈船浪引起的眩暈有紓緩作用，也適合體質虛弱人士，但濕熱、陰虛體質者要少食，以免加重偏熱症狀。惟芒果是動風發物，因此過敏體質者如有濕疹、皮膚敏感等不宜食用，容易引起過敏反應，或令症狀加劇，正因芒果的動風特質及偏熱屬性，才使其有「濕熱」的說法，其實正是以上提到吃後身體的反映。

Understanding damp-heat ingredients
“Mango is in season now. But some say mango is damp-heat fruit? What does that mean?”

CheckCheckCin: You always hear that some ingredients are damp or damp-heat natured. Let's figure out what "dampness" is first.

“Dampness” and “ heat" only refers to the cause of symptoms in Chinese medicine, for example, common sayings such as “the weather is humid”, “dampness and heat in the digestive system” all refer to that. If you have difficulty circulating fluids leading to symptoms such as itchy skin, fatigue, abdominal pain, loose and sticky stool that stuck to the toilet after eating certain ingredients, you may have “dampness” or “damp-heat”. That is why people say that these kinds of ingredients are "damp heat" or "damp" natured. These sayings refer to the body reflection of those with specific body conditions after eating certain ingredients, but do not mean the nature of ingredients are “damp”.

Mango is hot in nature. It can relieve vomiting and dizziness, relieve thirst and promote diuresis. Dizziness caused by motion could be relieved by eating mango. It is suitable for those with weak body conditions. However, those with damp-heat and yin deficiency body condition should eat less to prevent worsening heat-related symptoms. Mango is an ingredient that activates wind, so it is not suitable for those with sensitive body types such as eczema and skin allergy. Otherwise, it may lead to allergic reactions or make symptoms worse. Mango's wind activating characteristic and heat-related nature is why people refer to it as "damp-heat", which is actually the reflection of the body mentioned above after eating it.
