🔥 China Breaks With Taiwan Precedent, Omitting Call for ‘Peaceful’ Policy
中國打破慣例，對台灣政策未提「和平」字眼

- precedent 先例，前例，慣例
- omit 疏忽，遺漏；刪節，排除

🧐 Beijing dropped calls for pursuing peaceful ties or peaceful unification with Taiwan in an annual policy blueprint, breaking with nearly three decades of precedent in a sign that it is taking a tougher tack toward the self-ruled island.
北京在年度政策規劃中，放棄呼籲推動兩岸關係和平發展或和平統一，這一做法打破了近30年來的慣例，也表明當局對台灣將採取更為強硬的態度。

- drop calls for 這邊的drop是「放棄」之意，而calls則是「呼籲」，整個片語是指「放棄對…的呼籲」的意思。
- unification 統一
- tack 用風改變航向，在這指的是改變「方針、方向」

✏️ China’s yearly government work report, delivered to the legislature by Premier Li Keqiang on Friday, also reiterated the government’s commitment to “oppose and deter any separatist activities” seeking independence for Taiwan, an island democracy that Beijing claims as its territory.
中國國家總理李克強上周五向立法機構提交了年度政府工作報告，該報告重申中國政府堅決反對和遏制任何「台獨」分裂行徑。台灣是一個民主島嶼，中國政府稱台灣是其領土的一部分。

- legislature 立法機關
中華民國立法院：Legislative Yuan, Republic of China (Taiwan)
- reiterate 重申
- separatist 分離主義者
- claim 宣稱、斷言、主張

👩🏻 Mr. Li’s address came two days after Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen kicked off her second term with a fresh call for Beijing to open dialogue with Taipei in a way that respects what she called Taiwanese sovereignty and democracy—an appeal that China has repeatedly rejected.
台灣總統蔡英文上周三開啟了她的第二個任期，而李克強於上周五發表了上述講話。蔡英文在就職時再次呼籲北京當局尊重她倡導的台灣主權與民主，以尊重的方式與我方展開對話，但中國一直拒絕她這樣的呼籲。

- kick off 開始
✍️ 最早是形容足球的開球，後來變引申為「開始」之意
- term 任期
- open dialogue with… 開啟與…的對話
- sovereignty 主權
- appeal 呼籲，懇求

未完待續...
究竟李克強在報告中說了些什麼呢？

我要再次重申「和平、對等、民主、對話」這八個字。我們不會接受北京當局，以「一國兩制」矮化台灣，破壞台海的現狀，這是我們堅定不移的原則。

【春日濕滯】祛濕不是狂灌祛濕茶就可以

#首先少喝凍飲免傷脾胃
#曬太陽做運動出汗也有助祛濕
#星期二提升正能量

健脾祛濕五部曲
人體好多病症都是由濕邪引起，身體有濕，就算吃再多補品都是徒勞無功。想祛濕並不是單靠喝一碗祛濕湯就能了事，飲食、起居生活細節都不能忽略啊！

一、少吃生冷
生冷及寒涼食物以及愛吃油膩、偏鹹及偏甜等肥甘厚味等，也會加重脾胃負擔，就會使水液代謝受影響，以致濕氣積聚。宜飲食清淡而富營養，少吃多餐，多喝室溫或暖飲料。

二、多吃健脾食物
適量進食粗糧如米飯、番薯、薯仔、白扁豆、薏米、淮山等健脾食材，赤小豆、黃豆、黑豆都有健脾祛濕功效，可按體質適量食用。

三、每天飲米水
用紅米、白米及薏米煮成的米水，有健脾祛濕的功效，我們建議的米水配方屬性平和，任何體質人士均適合飲用，每天一杯米水，有助強健脾胃，驅走濕氣。

健脾胃米水
材料：紅米2湯匙、白米半湯匙、生薏米半湯匙
做法：將材料洗淨，鍋內加入約800-1000毫升水，加入材料，以武火煮滾後調文火煮20－30分鐘。
*米水容易變壞，建議每天煲好，一天飲完，不要過夜。
*孕婦飲用不下薏米。
*糖尿病患者宜先諮詢營養師意見。

四、 動起來
常躲在冷氣房坐著不動，冷氣會令身體汗液未能透發，濕氣容易積聚於體內，久坐不動亦會令體內水液流動速度減慢，宜不時起來動一動，平日做適量運動及曬太陽，亦有助身體排汗祛濕。

五、避免「外濕」
濕重日子可以使用抽濕機減低室內濕度，淋雨、洗澡後沒有立即抹乾身體、洗頭後頭髮還未乾透便入睡等情況都會增加濕邪入體的機會，記得保持乾爽。

5 steps to strengthen spleen and dispel dampness
Many diseases of the human body are caused by dampness. It is pointless to eat more tonic food if you have dampness inside the body. To properly dispel dampness, you should not just drink tea but you also need to pay attention to diet and living habits. 

1. Eat less cold/raw food
Cold/raw, cool and cold natured, oily, salty, sweet food can increase the burden on the spleen and stomach. It will affect the fluid metabolism and dampness accumulates. You should eat a light and nutritious diet, eat more frequently and less during each meal, drink more room temperature or warm drinks.

2. Eat more ingredients that can strengthen the spleen
Appropriately consume coarse grains and ingredients that can strengthen the spleen such as rice, sweet potato, potato, hyacinth bean, coix seed, Chinese yam etc. Rice bean, soya bean, black soya bean can also strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness. You can appropriately consume according to your body condition.

3. Drink rice water daily
Rice water made from white rice, red rice and coix seed can strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness. Our rice water recipe is mild in nature and suitable for all body conditions. Drinking a cup of rice water can strengthen the spleen and stomach and dispel dampness.

Rice water
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons red rice, half tablespoon of white rice, half tablespoon of coix seeds
Preparation: rinse all ingredients thoroughly. Combine all ingredients with 800-1000ml of water and cook on high heat until boiling. Turn to low heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
*Rice water should be made fresh daily and should not be stored overnight as it may spoil easily.
*For pregnant ladies, they can omit coix seeds.
*Those with diabetes should consult a nutritionist accordingly.

4. Move your body
Being in an air-conditioned room all the time can stagnate fluids within the body. Sitting without moving for long periods of time can slow down the body fluid flow and dampness will build out. You should get up and move every now and then. Regularly exercising and sunbathing can also promote perspiration and dispel dampness.

5. Avoid external dampness
On humid days, you can use a dehumidifier to reduce the indoor humidity. You would have more dampness inside the body aften the rain, if you do not dry your body immediately after bathing, or if you do not dry your hair well before going to sleep. Remember to stay dry.

【育兒Q&A】米水不是肥仔水！

#每個寶寶都有自己的生長速度
#健康不一定要胖胖的
#星期三問題多多

米水不宜開奶粉
在職媽媽：「BB剛滿一歲體形偏瘦，一直貼著生長線底部，用米水開奶會有助吸收長肉嗎？」

CheckCheckCin：中醫理論認為小兒「臟腑嬌嫩，形氣未充」，小朋友五臟六腑尚未完全發展成熟，容易有脾胃虛弱的情況出現，未能正常吸收吃下去的食物營養，所以出現「唔長肉」的情況。坊間一直流傳用米水開奶粉給小兒飲用，聲稱有增磅甚至清熱的功效，然而並不建議這樣做，沖泡配方奶粉宜跟從奶粉包裝上的指示，即是加入清水沖泡，並且與米水分開飲用。
用紅米、白米及生薏米煲煮而成的米水，屬性平和，適合男女老幼飲用，小兒1歲開始已可飲用，最初可由每天飲一小杯約60毫升開始，可以補氣健脾胃，改善小朋友營養不吸收的情況，亦能紓緩嬰兒嘔奶、消化不良甚至腹瀉等症狀。

健脾胃朝米水
材料：紅米2湯匙、白米半湯匙、生薏米半湯匙
做法：將材料洗淨，鍋內加入約800-1000毫升水，加入材料，以武火煮滾後調文火煮20－30分鐘。
*米水容易變壞，建議每天煲好，一天飲完，不要過夜。
*孕婦飲用可不下生薏米。

Rice water and milk formula should be drank separately
“My baby just turned one and is quite skinny. He is always at the bottom of the weight percentile. Would he grow better if I used rice water to make his milk?"

CheckCheckCin: From Chinese medicine perspective, young children’s organs have not fully developed and they cannot properly absorb all the nutrients consumed because of their asthenic spleen and stomach. Therefore, they tend to grow slower. Some people say it is better to use rice water to make formula milk to help them gain weight and even clear heat. However, we do not recommend that. You should follow the preparation instructions to mix the powder with regular water, and drink rice water separately.
Rice water is made by boiling red rice, white rice and coix seeds. The recipe is mild in nature, and suitable for the entire family. It is suitable for children 1 year old or above. Start by having 60ml of rice water per day. It can nourish qi and strengthen spleen and stomach, improve nutrient absorption, and also relieve the symptoms of vomiting, indigestion and even diarrhea.

Rice water to strengthen spleen and stomach
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons red rice, half tablespoon of white rice, half tablespoon of coix seeds
Preparation: Rinse all ingredients thoroughly. Combine all ingredients with 800-1000ml of water and cook on high heat until boiling. Turn to low heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
*Rice water should be made fresh daily and should not be stored overnight as it may spoil easily.
*for pregnant ladies, omit coix seeds
