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.

⭐放鬆吓啦香港人
#星期四食材

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。

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
