行氣食材助疏肝
「疏肝」是廣東話抒發鬱結、心情暢快的意思，究竟與肝有何關係？其實「疏肝」一詞出自中醫，中醫理論認為肝主疏泄、調節情志，角色就像體內的交通督導員，專責保持全身經脈道路暢通，如果肝功能失調導致肝鬱，就會令情緒鬱悶，出現頭痛、多嘆氣、多打嗝或放屁、胃痛、大便不調、失眠等症狀；如果肝能順利疏泄，精神情緒就能愉悅。
當人遇上壓力或不快事情，容易氣頂或氣結難下，這種鬱悶感覺直接令體內氣血不順，阻礙肝臟的疏泄工作。所以遇上情緒問題，除了控制及發洩情緒，適量進食行氣食物，例如白蘿蔔、陳皮、五指毛桃、金桔、玫瑰花等，有助氣血運行，改善肝鬱氣滯的情況。

白蘿蔔 — 性寒，具順氣寬中、健胃消食、清熱利尿、生津止渴的功效，尤其適合氣滯、血瘀體質人士食用，有行氣功效；而氣虛體弱、虛喘氣短、容易腹瀉、陽虛體質不宜食用，正在服用補氣中藥亦要避免，否則影響藥效。

陳皮 — 性溫，能理氣健脾、燥濕化痰，紓緩寒痰、腹部脹痛、孕婦及宿醉人士的作悶欲吐等，適合有壓力、氣滯、血瘀、痰濕體質人士服用。

五指毛桃 — 性平，有健脾補肺、行氣利濕、舒筋活絡功效，尤其適合氣虛、脾虛人士服用。

金桔 — 性溫，有理氣解鬱、消食化痰的作用，對於有胸悶氣結、心情鬱悶的人最為適合，同時可紓緩因肝氣鬱結而引起食慾不振。脾胃氣虛者不宜多吃。

玫瑰花 — 性溫，有疏肝解鬱、行氣活血作用。因為有活血功效，月經期間不宜飲用。

Relieve stress with ingredients that improve qi circulation
Soothing the liver, or ‘soh gon’ in Cantonese, means to relieve stress and improve our mood, but what has this got to do with the liver?

The term ‘soh gon’ actually derived from Chinese Traditional Medicine. According to its theory, liver is the central system that promotes circulation and dispersion, as well as regulates the emotions. It functions like a traffic warden of the body, who is in charge of ensuring the smooth circulation of the Meridians.

Individuals whose liver lose the function to regulate the body will experience emotional stress, headache; tend to sigh, burp or fart; suffer from stomach upset, abnormal stool consistency, and insomnia. If the liver is able to perform its functions well, our emotions will be stable and we will be in better spirit.

When we are stressed or experience unhappy events, we would experience the stagnation of the qi and blood, and this will inhibit the liver from performing its duty. Therefore, when we encounter emotional problems, we should learn to control ourselves and vent our frustrations appropriately. At the same time, consume food that will help improve qi circulation, such as white radish, dried citrus peel, hairy fig root, kumquat and rose flower, as these ingredients can improve the liver’s function to circulate and disperse, thus relieving the problem of stagnation.

White radish – cold in nature; can improve qi circulation, strengthen the stomach and aid digestion, induce diuresis and quench one’s thirst. It is especially suitable for individuals with conditions such as qi stagnation and blood stasis, as it promotes the qi circulation. It is not suitable for individuals with weakness of qi and body, as well as people who experience shortness of breath, prone to having diarrhea, and are deficient of the yang energy. Individuals who are taking Chinese medicine to replenish qi should avoid eating white radish, as it will inhibit the medicinal effect.

Dried citrus peel – warm in nature; can improve qi circulation and strengthen the spleen, dispel dampness and clear phlegm; relieve phlegm caused by cold, bloating, as well the nauseous feeling pregnant women and individuals who get hangovers would experience. It is also suitable for individuals who are under a lot of stress, experience qi stagnation, blood stasis and those with the phlegm-dampness body condition.

Hairy fig root – mild in nature; can strengthen the spleen and nourish the lungs; improve the circulation of qi and dispersion of dampness in the body, stimulate the circulation of the Meridians. It is especially suitable for individuals who experience qi deficiency and with a weak spleen.

Verified
Kumquat – warm in nature; can improve qi circulation and relieve stress, aid digestion and clear phlegm, suitable for individuals with chest tightness and with emotional problems. Kumquat can also improve appetite loss, which is caused by the qi stagnation in the liver. Those with qi deficiency in the spleen and stomach should limit the intake of kumquat.

Rose – warm in nature, can soothe the liver and relieve stress, improve the circulation of the qi and blood. Women during the menstrual period should not consume, as it promotes blood circulation.

✔Beauty Tea Recommendation:
Stress
Ingredients: Rose, Sweet Osmanthus, Fingered Citron, Fingered Citron Flower
Effects: Promotes qi circulation and relieves stagnation. Suitable for busy lifestyle, frequent sighing, stressfulness and menstrual discomfort
Note：Not suitable for pregnant or menstruating women.

【陪你看國際新聞】川普火大，以行政命令要求社群媒體保障言論自由。
　
這其實有點歪打正著。一個老鼠冤，出了一個民主黨跟臺灣可能都想要的行政命令。
　
兩天前，川普在推特發文，結果推特的事實確認機制啟動，在他的文章下面寫 Get the facts about mail-in ballouts，意思就是，推特認為川普說關於通訊投票的指控有可能有問題，請讀者多注意。
　
→ Twitter tags Trump tweet with fact-checking warning / BBC
https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/technology-52815552
　
然後川普就怒了，非常怒，隔兩天，簽了個行政命令出來，簽署後的記者會，還請司法部長站旁邊增加力道。
　
→ Trump Signs Executive Order to Regulate Social Media Companies Amid Twitter Fury / YouTube
https://youtu.be/McFgMPAsq7M
　
這個行政命令很有意思，他要求美國的科技大公司，做社群媒體的這幾家，尤其 Twitter、Facebook、Google，不可以針對使用者的言論作審查，否則將失去聯邦政府的任何補助，以及過去他們常用的｢我們是平台｣保護傘。
　
｢我們是平台｣保護傘，意思就是，過去常有人會上傳盜版的內容，但這些平台常說｢我們是平台｣而豁免法律責任，另一方面，當政府要求下架兒童色情等不當內容時，也有法律保障這些平台不被告。
　
但如果 Twitter、Facebook、Google 繼續對用戶言論內容作審查，給予標籤、刪除、停權，這些法律保障將不適用。
　
在行政命令中，清楚說到，這些公司有的還跟中國解放軍合作，甚至試圖操縱言論與風向，反政府也反民主。

如果你自認為平台，那就要像公園廣場一樣，誰都可以說話，也不需要被審查，只有這樣，公園才能豁免法律責任，Twitter、Facebook、Google 也是一樣。
　
雖然事件導火線是 Twitter 跟川普的老鼠冤，而且其實 Twitter 標記的那則的確川普說的是有爭議的，但這個行政命令的內容，記者會上提到，民主黨也贊成。
　
民主黨贊成的角度，是對於言論自由與審查的憂慮。
　
對臺灣的意義是，最近大家都有感覺到，Facebook 可能無來由地把某些粉絲專頁關閉，而且令人懷疑與其中國籍與中國裔員工，利用自己的職權，在壓制臺灣。

而 YouTube 更為明顯，像是武漢肺炎必黃標、自動刪除｢五毛｣｢426｣等留言。
　
更糟的是，他們被發現且被迫說明時，都會躲在演算法後面，躲在技術後面，躲在系統錯誤後面，但很明顯的，這背後一定有人。
　
川普這個行政命令，或許能讓這些大公司的中國籍與中國裔員工收斂些，讓這些大公司更注意自己的內控。愛國小粉紅們，應該不至於跟自己的工作過不去。
　
我們可以繼續觀察，Facebook、Google、YouTube 的變化。這個行政命令有效嗎？還是又被找到小漏洞繞過了？

【健康人生】亂做運動身體可能更虛弱

#氣虛人不宜喪跑
#陽虛人宜在陽光下運動
#星期一BlueMonday

按著體質做運動
盛夏前夕特別多人的起心肝做運動，希望以最佳狀態迎接夏日。運動人做我又做，你有沒有想過哪種運動才適合自己？世上沒有哪一種運動為之最健康，健康之道是按自己體質選擇最適合自己的運動，選錯運動可能會越做越累，甚至造成勞損。中醫養生之道講究平衡，中醫古籍《黃帝內經》裡曾提及「形勞而不倦」，就是運動後最健康的狀態，意思是指身體疲累，但心卻不累，適當的運動不應該讓你體力透支及產生厭倦。

怎樣選擇適合自己的運動呢？首先要了解自己的體質，例如氣血虛弱的人不宜做過於耗汗及劇烈的運動，因為氣隨津脫，身體津液會隨著大汗而流失，反而會更虛弱；而氣滯、濕熱、痰濕體質人士則適宜做強度較大的運動，調整氣機，舒暢情志，亦可讓體內濕氣由汗排出體外。

氣虛、血虛、陽虛體質
宜：強度小的運動，如太極、步行、伸展運動等，注意要循序漸進

陰虛體質
宜：強度小的運動，如太極、步行、伸展運動等，注意不宜過份出汗，需及時補水

痰濕、濕熱、氣滯及血瘀體質
宜：強度大的運動，如游泳、跳繩、球類運動、器械健身等，藉著運動疏發肝氣，流汗有助排走體內濕氣。

Exercise according to your body type

A lot of people put in extra exercise sessions before summer to achieve the best summer body. Have you considered what type of exercise suits you best? There is not a single exercise that is the best but you should choose based on your body type. If you choose the wrong type of exercise, you may just tire yourself out. Chinese medicine healthy living promotes balance. You should feel good after exercising even if your body feel tired. The right type of exercise should use your physical energy but not weary of it.

How to choose exercise that is suitable for you? You have to know about your body type first. For example, those with qi and blood deficiency should not do intense exercise that leads too much sweating. Qi flows out with sweat, and when your body fluids flow out with sweat, your body becomes more asthenic and weak. Those with qi stagnation, damp heat, phlegm and dampness body types should do more intense exercise to regulate qi flow and de-stress, the dampness in your body can also be excreted via sweating.

Qi deficiency, blood deficiency or yang deficiency
Suitable: Low-intensity exercise, such as Tai Chi, walking, stretching, etc. Remember to go through the steps accordingly.

Yin deficiency
Suitable: Low-intensity exercise, such as Tai Chi, walking. Remember not to sweat too much. Drink water regularly.
