春天腸胃不聽話？
養好脾胃不怕濕滯

李小姐：「我媽最近常說春天到令人好濕滯，胃口不佳跟濕與滯有關嗎？」

CheckCheckCin：廣東話「濕滯」是指有麻煩事的意思，而從中醫角度來看，濕與滯的確有關係，因為身體需要靠脾胃運化水濕，脾胃功能失衡，水濕停滯，就容易出現腹部飽脹、消化不良、食慾不振、胃氣多等情況。有這些症狀的話建議先少食多餐，進食較清淡的食物，少吃滋膩、煎炸油膩等食物，另外也可試試這款有開胃理氣的茶飲。

酸柑陳皮茶
功效：行氣開胃，紓緩無胃口、欲吐等症狀。
材料：酸柑3枚、陳皮1角、蜂蜜1滴
做法：材料洗淨，酸柑切半，陳皮切絲。將材料放入保溫瓶，以熱開水焗10分鐘，加入蜂蜜，此茶可反覆沖泡至味淡。

✔️CheckCheckCin 美茶推介：濕重
材料：赤小豆、眉豆、扁豆衣
功效：健脾祛濕，紓緩疲倦、睡了好像還沒睡過、四肢重墜、水腫等症狀。

Take care of the spleen and stomach and keep dampness at bay

“My mum recently told me that dampness and stagnation often happen during spring, and this will cause appetite loss. Is there a relationship between dampness and stagnation?”

CheckCheckCin: In Cantonese, the two words that represent dampness and stagnation are ‘sap zai’, which also means nuisance or hassle. From the perspective of Chinese Medicine, dampness and stagnation are indeed related.

The body relies on the spleen and stomach to circulate fluid and dampness, so when these organs fail to function optimally, stagnation can occur. Symptoms such as bloating, indigestion, appetite loss, and abdominal gassiness would then emerge.

Individual with these symptoms should eat more meals but in a smaller quantity, and avoid consuming heavily seasoned, fried, oily, and sticky foods, as well as those with high satiety. Alternatively, you can try drinking this tea to improve your appetite and soothe the circulation of the qi.

Calamansi and dried citrus peel tea
Effects: promotes qi and stimulates appetite. Relieves lack of appetite and vomiting.
Ingredients: 3 calamansi, 1 dried citrus peel, 1 drop honey
Preparation: Rinse the ingredients. Cut the calamansi into half. Slice the dried citrus peel. Place all ingredients into thermos and add in hot water and steep for 10 minutes until aroma develops. Add honey. This tea can be re-brewed until flavour weakens.

✔ CheckCheckCin Recommendation: Dampness
Ingredients: Rice bean, black eyed bean, hyacinth bean coat
Effects: Strengthens the spleen and dispels dampness. Relieves fatigue, tired even after adequate sleep, heaviness in limbs and edema.

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.

Sour summer fruits
It is better to eat sweet foods and avoid sour in the spring. As summer approaches, it is time to adjust your diet. It is hot, and the body sweats easily which consumes qi and fluid. You should have sour food as acidity helps the body conserve and avoid over perspiration that can hurt yin. Saliva secretion increases when you eat sour food, and it can achieve the effects of relieving thirst, strengthening the stomach and aiding digestion. For example, people with cold body types should choose fruits with warm and hot nature, and people with hot body type should choose fruits with cold and cool nature. Keeping the body in a balanced state is one way to keep healthy.
