暖飲也能消暑！
天時暑熱，很多人都覺得凍飲能消暑解渴，從中醫角度來看，凍飲確能消暑及提供一時的清涼快感，但多喝凍飲會損傷陽氣，亦會損傷脾胃運化水液的功能，加重體內寒濕，令人容易形成小肚腩、水腫及積聚脂肪，亦容易導致痛經、水腫、黑眼圈、臉色暗啞等問題。
夏天喝熱飲會不會越飲越熱？答案是不會的，熱飲能令血管擴張，有助汗液蒸發，從而降低體表溫度，當然不宜太熱飲用以免燙傷。
不喜歡熱飲可以嘗試室溫或和暖的飲品，或者轉飲走冰、常溫飲品開始，如在室內有冷氣的環境，其實喝一杯暖飲也很舒服。也可以自煮有消暑功效的茶療，吃西瓜後剩下的皮不要丟掉，將最外面一層綠色皮切走，留下白色部分就是「西瓜翠衣」，它性涼，有清熱解毒、消暑瀉火、生津解渴及降血壓的作用，對預防中暑、紓緩咽痛、口瘡、口乾、水腫等都有幫助。
西瓜冬瓜綠豆茶

2. 鍋內加入2000毫升水，加入所有材料，武火煮至水滾，改文火煮30分鐘，加入適量冰糖即可。
注意：脾胃虛寒、便溏腹瀉、糖尿病患者不宜飲用，月經期間的女士不宜。

Warm drinks can relieve summer heat too!
We tend to think only cold beverages can clear heat and quench our thirst during summer. From the perspective of Chinese Medicine, no doubt, they can clear the summer heat and cool us down, but excessive consumption of cold drinks can also harm the yang energy and disrupt the functions of spleen and stomach in circulating fluids in the body.
Individuals with cold and dampness in the body can even develop a bloated belly and edema and cause fat to accumulate in the body more easily. Problems such as menstrual pain, dark eye circles, and dull complexion can emerge too.
Would heat accumulate in the body if we drink warm drinks during the summer? Not at all! Drinking warm drinks can dilate the blood vessels, which can then induce perspiration and subsequently reduce the body temperature. Nonetheless, it is important not to consume drinks at a high temperature as we can burn ourselves.
Those who do not enjoy warm beverages can consume them at room temperature or without ice. Having a cup of warm drink in an air-conditioned environment can also make us feel better. You can make yourself some herbal tea to relieve the summer heat as well.
Do not throw away the watermelon skin once you have eaten the flesh. Remove the outer coat and keep the white rind. Its white rind is cool in nature and can clear heat and toxins from the body, relieve summer heat, quench one’s thirst, and lower the blood pressure. Eating the white rind can prevent heatstroke and relieve sore throat, canker sore, dry mouth, and edema.
