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。

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.

According to Chinese physicians, these foods can trigger pathogenic factors to react, causing a relapse of a pre-existing condition and, to a certain extent, might worsen the problem. Individuals with acne, eczema, rubella, and sensitive skin or any skin diseases should avoid eating them.

How about vegetables? In fact, there are certain vegetables that can also induce phlegm, stagnate the qi, and lead to heat accumulation in the body, triggering old wounds to relapse. To prevent skin diseases from occurring, we have to be extra mindful.

《 Sunflower 》

星期一， Monday Blue， 用文字帶領本欄讀者跳出鬱悶……

今早看見KOL梁先生在fb（左圖）show出一朵大大的太陽花，除了令我聯想起7年前台灣的太陽花學運（右圖），亦想起一首歌……"Sunflower"

太陽花，aka向日葵，俄羅斯國花( National Flower Emblem ) ， 不過，大家如果以為日本的國花是櫻花就大錯特錯，日本國花其實是菊花（建制派應該很熟悉菊花的用途），看看日本護照上面的菊花圖案便明白。

回頭說“Sunflower”這首歌，是電影《蜘蛛俠》其中一首主題曲， 由著名hip hop歌手Post Malone 擔綱演繹，不知道是否有人憑曲寄意、指桑罵槐？

請留意"Sunflower"這兩句歌詞：

Needless to say, I keep her in check, she was all bad-bad, nevertheless, Yeah !
我將大概意思翻譯成粵語：
「唔使多講，我已經食住佢（her）
無論如何，佢（she）真係好衰好衰，Yeah ！」

最後，和讀者玩一條動腦筋題目。

之前曾經跟朋友玩一個遊戲，競猜電影或主角名稱，譬如說「將底褲著喺出面」（答案：Superman）、「國家終於有任務俾你」（答案：國產凌凌漆）……

呢條題目係：「佢係白人」（答案：蜘蛛俠），讀者可以留言解釋，為什麼答案是蜘蛛俠？

頭一百位能夠解釋答案的讀者，可獲抽獎機會，頭獎三層洋房連一排馬姐。

【生活潮流】日文「車中泊」是睡在車上的意思

⭐原為開長途車的旅行方法
⭐在香港變成悠閒玩意或工作需要
#星期三CheckCheckMail

駕著私人空間到處睡
車中泊危害健康？
司機陳：「近年因為工作需要過著『車中泊』生活，長期在車上生活會影響健康嗎？」

CheckCheckCin：近年「車中泊」在香港流行起來，不少人都喜歡駕車遠離繁囂，在車內生活享受私人空間，甚至當成周末放假的玩意，以紓緩生活壓力。但如果因為工作需要長期車中泊，長時間在狹窄環境生活，就要注意健康狀況，中醫古籍《黃帝內經》曾提及「久臥傷氣，久坐傷肉」，久坐不動會令肌肉越來越無力，脾與肌肉互為表裡，所以亦會減弱脾的運化功能，容易形成痰濕體質。久坐亦有礙氣血運行，容易造成便秘等問題。所以如果發現身體有不適症狀，就要注意調理。記得有時間就下車多活動，早上起床先做15分鐘拉筋活動，有助氣血運行。在車內睡覺時盡量平躺，車廂宜通風但要注意保暖。每日飲用方便在車廂內沖泡的即沖米水，有助健脾養生。

✔️CheckCheckCin 米水推介：朝米水
功效：保健強身，尤其適合脾胃虛弱及痰濕內盛體質人士。
備註：懷孕期間不宜飲用。

Travel around and sleep in the car
Is this bad for health?

“As a driver, I’m always travelling and sleeping in the car. Will this affect my health?”

CheckCheckCin: Travelling and sleeping in the car, or the ‘Shachuhaku' therapy, has become trendy recently. Many people would drive out of the city to enjoy the personal space in their own vehicles, and some might even treat this as a weekend getaway to relieve stress.

Nevertheless, this kind of lifestyle will have an impact on our health in the long run. According to the Esoteric Scripture of the Yellow Emperor (‘huang di nei jing’), lying down for an extended period can hurt the qi, and long hours of sitting can damage the flesh. A sedentary lifestyle will weaken our muscles and in turns weaken the spleen as they are interrelated. This will further lead individuals to develop the phlegm-dampness body constitution.

Sitting for a long period can disrupt the circulation of the qi and blood, hence causing constipation. We must change our lifestyle if we begin to experience discomfort in our body.

Remember to get down from the car and exercise. Start with 15-minute stretching exercises as it can help improve the circulation of the qi and the blood. When sleeping in the car, remember to lay flat, ensure there is a good air circulation, and keep yourself warm. Drink a cup of rice water every day to help strengthen the spleen and improve your general health.

✔ Recommendation: Dawn Rice Water
Ingredients: Red Rice, Coix Seed, White Rice
Effects: Suitable for the whole family to enhance physical wellbeing, especially those with a weak digestive system or with a phlegm and dampness body type.
Note: Not suitable for pregnant women.
