⭐氣虛體質人士面色多偏白
⭐白裏透紅才為之健康
#星期四食材

白色食材補肺益氣
不少女生都追求美白肌膚，但面色長期偏白不一定是好事，從中醫角度來看，面色白多見於虛證或寒證病人，白色對應肺，面色發白多代表著肺氣虛弱，不能抵抗外邪入侵，容易反覆感冒、患上鼻敏感或氣管敏感，在流感肆虐的季節亦特別容易「中招」。
想強健肺氣，宜適量食用補肺益氣的食材，例如淮山、百合、雪耳、白扁豆等白色食物，因為中醫理論認為「白入肺」，白色食物入肺經，有潤肺補肺的功效，在秋冬時效果尤其明顯。

淮山 — 性平，有健脾養胃、補肺生津的功效，其含有的可溶性纖維，有助消化及控制飯後血糖升高。

百合 — 性平，能補中益氣，潤肺止咳，能紓緩氣虛型咳嗽、氣管敏感等、精神衰弱、心神恍惚、睡眠不安寧等症狀。注意感冒咳嗽、脾胃虛寒容易腹瀉者不宜進食。

雪耳 — 性平，具滋陰潤肺、益氣養胃、強心補腦功效，適合肺熱津傷或肺氣虛弱、燥咳無痰、痰中帶血、氣喘氣短、咽喉乾燥、聲音嘶啞、病後體虛人士食用。

白扁豆 — 性平，具健脾益氣、消暑化濕功效，因脾虛有濕而食少腹瀉人士尤其適合，亦適合氣虛及痰濕體質人士服用。惟注意容易便秘人士不宜多服。

White ingredients nourish the lungs and strengthen the qi
Many women want to have a fair complexion, but having an anemic-looking face is not necessarily a good sign. From the perspective of Chinese Medicine, an individual with a pale face normally experiences asthenia or chills.

A pale face could mean that the qi in the lungs is weak, and the internal organ is incapable of protecting the body from pathogenic factors. Hence, such individuals might catch a cold and develop nasal or even respiratory allergies more easily, especially during the flu season.

To strengthen the lung, one should consume white-colored ingredients such as Chinese yam, lily bulb, snow fungus, hyacinth bean. This is in accordance with a theory of Chinese Medicine—white ingredients are good for the lungs, as they can moisten and nourish the respiratory organ. Consuming these ingredients during fall and winter would be especially beneficial for the lungs.

Chinese yam - mild in nature. Can strengthen the spleen and stomach, nourish the lungs, and induce salivation. Besides, its smooth and thick fluid contains protein that can reduce blood sugar levels.

Lily bulbs - mild in nature. Can replenish vital energy and qi, moisture the lungs to relieve coughing. Relieves qi deficiency related coughing and respiratory allergies, mental weakness, absent-mindedness, and poor sleep. Not suitable for those with cough and flu, asthenic cold spleen and stomach, and those prone to diarrhea.

Snow fungus - mild in nature, can nourish yin and moisten the lungs, nourish qi and stomach, strengthen the heart and mind. It is suitable for those with hot lungs or asthenic lung qi, dry cough without phlegm, phlegm with blood stain, shortness of breath, dry and sore throat, coarse voice, and weakness post illness.

Hyacinth bean - mild in nature, strengthens the spleen and replenishes qi, suitable for those with diarrhea after eating a little due to asthenic weak spleen with dampness. It is also suitable for those with qi deficiency and phlegm and dampness body type. Note that those are prone to diarrhea should eat less.
