【一秒即著】身邊總有一個燥底朋友

⭐祛躁要從減少熬夜開始
⭐避免溫補食物以免火上加油
#星期二提升正能量

一秒躁底宜疏肝清熱
經常煩躁不安、急躁易怒、心浮氣躁，少少事情就可以「一秒躁底」，情緒就像跑車由零加速至100km/h的速度一樣，究竟這些人是否天生情緒管理特別差？未必！中醫理論認為煩躁與熱有關，肝膽火旺會引致口苦口渴、舌紅、小便黃、脅痛頭痛、晚睡多夢、煩躁易怒等症狀，經常熬夜、壓力大、飲食不節、嗜食辛辣、常喝酒、重口味食物都是常見成因。
想改善火爆情緒宜清熱疏肝，從避免進食辛辣、溫補、重口味食物開始，適量飲用涼茶，如雞骨草、菊花茶等等，清熱祛濕，也可進食屬性偏涼的食材如火龍果、冬瓜、綠豆、霸王花等，另外還要找適合自己的宣洩渠道，適度減壓。

雞骨草素馨花茶
功效：疏肝清熱，紓緩煩躁心情、容易眼火爆情緒等症狀。
材料：雞骨草9克、素馨花3克、綠茶包1個
做法：材料洗淨放保溫瓶，以熱開水沖洗一遍，注入熱開水焗約5-10分鐘即可。此茶可反覆沖泡至味淡，建議一星期連續飲用2-3天，連續兩星期為一個療程。

Soothe the liver and clear heat to ease irritability
Some people are quick-tempered and always feel frustrated and get annoyed, and their emotions change quickly like a roller-coaster ride, but does that mean they have anger management issues? Not necessarily!

Chinese Medicine theories believe this is related to heat in the body. Heat accumulated in the liver and gallbladder can cause bitterness and dryness in the mouth. Other symptoms include red tongue, yellow urine, abdominal pain and headache, insomnia and excessive dreaming, and irritability. The common causes are sleeping late, stress, unhealthy diet, and regular consumption of alcohol and hot, spicy, and heavily flavored foods.

To improve this condition, we need to clear the heat and soothe the liver. Avoid eating hot, spicy, heavily flavored foods and ingredients that are warm in nature. Consume an appropriate amount of herbal tea made with ingredients such as Chinese prayer bead grass and chrysanthemum, as they can clear heat and eliminate dampness from the body.

We can also consume ingredients that are cool in nature such as dragon fruit, winter gourd, mung bean, and night blooming cereus. At the same time, we can find other healthier alternatives to vent out frustration and relieve stress.

Chinese prayer bead grass and jasminum tea
Effects: Soothes the liver and clears heat. Relieves emotional symptoms such as irritability.
Ingredients: 9g Chinese prayer bead grass, 3g jasminum, 1 green tea bag
Preparation: Place all ingredients into thermos, rinse once with hot water, and add in hot water and steep for 5-10 minutes. This tea can be re-brewed until its flavor weakens. For best results, drink consecutively for 2-3 days. Two weeks for a treatment.

✔️CheckCheckCin Paper Pack Drink Recommendation: Dragon fruit rose tea
Ingredients: water, dragon fruit juice, rock sugar, honey, rose, lemon juice concentrate, oolong tea
Effects: Loosens bowel to relieve constipation, relieves stress, aids digestion and burns fat. Suitable for those with difficult passing stool, stress, frequent sighing and dull complexion.
Note: Not suitable for menstruating women, but can have this tea before period. Not suitable for pregnant women.

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

Stay healthy in another country
Consume floral tea to soothe the liver and relieve stress

We have to get accustomed to a new environment, the cultural differences, and the financial situation when we migrate to another country. This also means we are bound to face a lot of pressure.

Chinese Medicine theories believe that negative emotions can hurt the liver, hence, diminishing the organ’s performance. Individuals would sigh frequently, burp or fart, and stomach ache and experience bowel problems and insomnia.

To keep us mentally healthy, we should soothe the liver regularly by drinking floral tea according to our body constitution. Generally, floral tea can soothe the liver, relieve stress, and calm our mind. There are also specific types with special properties. Earl Grey tea, which we can easily find in restaurants, is black tea infused with bergamot oil. We can consume it to relieve stress.

Rose - warm in nature, reduces stress, promotes qi and activates blood. As it can activate blood, it is not suitable for menstruating women.
Jasmine - warm in nature, regulates qi and reduces stress, relieves chest discomfort.
Sweet osmanthus - warm in nature, warms the lungs and dispels cold, warms the stomach and relieves pain.
Fingered citron - warm in nature, relieves stagnated liver and regulates qi, nourishes the stomach and relieves pain.
Chrysanthemum - cool in nature, clears the livers and heat, improves vision.
Lavender - cool in nature, clears heat and detoxifies, dispels wind and relieves itchy skin, helps to improve sleep.
Chamomile - cold in nature, calms the mind. It can relieve heat wind flu and rheumatoid arthritis.

【壓力山大】男人較少將壓力問題宣之於口

⭐從生活習慣可窺探壓力嚴重程度
⭐小心用錯減壓方法
#星期六隻眼閉

減壓方法大拆解
男人來到了四、五十歲，人生的道路走了一半，有說是幸福感最少的時候，因為隨着年紀漸長，體力下降，打波打到半場已虛脫，凌晨起身睇波都見吃力；髮際線後退，脂肪有增無減，容貌亦開始顯露歲月痕跡；事業上打拼多年壓力增加，家庭開銷亦有增無減⋯⋯壓力大到身心俱疲時，您有用以下的減壓方法嗎？

⚠️飲酒
輕則放工後小酌一杯，嚴重的甚至借酒消愁，適量及配合體質飲酒可和氣行血，但飲酒過量容易於體內聚濕、生痰、化熱，影響肝脾正常運作，要適可宜止。

⚠️吸煙
不少人因為壓力大而開始吸煙，覺得吸煙過程很紓壓，甚至能有助放鬆排便！其實是錯覺，吸煙過後壓力依然存在，更會對身體造成損害，得不償失。

⚠️瘋狂購物
購物減壓不是女人的專利，亦有男人遇上壓力大時喜歡購物減壓，尤其網購盛行，以致經常購買不必要的物品，小心紓緩心理壓力後卻增加經濟壓力。

⚠️暴飲暴食
用吃來紓壓是很常見的方式，而且會偏好選擇高脂、高熱量的食物，透過食物慰藉心靈，但卻會帶來肥胖、高血脂等問題。

⚠️熬夜打機
不少男人放工後都會打機減壓，甚至打到通宵達旦，第二天上班當然無精神，長遠更會打亂生理時鐘，損耗身體津液，出現口乾、五心煩熱、大便偏乾等陰虛症狀。

中醫理論認為肝主情志，不良情緒會傷肝，肝功能失調會導致肝鬱，出現頭痛、多嘆氣、打嗝或放屁、胃痛、大便不調、失眠等症狀。所以減壓要疏肝，適量食用蓮藕、白蘿蔔、絲瓜、陳皮等疏肝理氣食材，或者飲用玫瑰花、茉莉花、佛手、洋甘菊茶有助氣血運行，進行運動也有助減壓。

✔ CheckCheckCin茶療推介：火龍果玫瑰茶
材料：紅火龍果、冰糖、蜂蜜、玫瑰花、檸檬及白毫烏龍
功效：疏肝解鬱，潤腸通便，適合大便不暢、有壓力、經常嘆氣、暗啞肌膚人士。
注意：適合月經前飲用；月經期間、孕婦不宜。

Are these the best ways to relieve stress?
When men reach the age of 40 or 50, they are about halfway through their journey in life. As they grow older, they might start to feel a decrease in stamina and might not perform well in sports. They might even have a hard time staying up late to watch their favourite sports match.

Some might also troubled by their receding hairline, the accumulation of fats in their body, and changes in their facial appearance. To add fuel to the fire, stress at work and the rising cost of living can also take a toll on their mental health. Have you tried the following methods to cope with stress?

⚠️Drinking booze
While some might enjoy a glass of beer after work, some would resort to alcoholism to escape from the harsh reality they face daily. Consuming an appropriate amount of alcohol according to your body constitution can improve the circulation of qi and blood, but excessive drinking can cause heat and dampness to accumulate in the body, induce phlegm production, affect the functions of the liver and spleen. It is important to practice self-control when consuming alcohol.

⚠️Smoking
Many people might take a puff at a cigarette to de-stress, and some even think it can help them pass stool more easily. It is in fact just an illusion! Smoking will only cause damage to your body, and you will still feel stressed even after smoking.

⚠️Going on a shopping spree
Some men would go on a shopping spree to reduce their stress. The convenience of online shopping encourages us to make impulsive purchases of items we do not need. Shopping can be stress-relieving, but it could also cause further financial distress if we are not mindful of our spending.

⚠️Binge eating
It is common for us to eat to release stress, and we tend to opt for foods that are high in fats and calories. Binge eating can lead to obesity and an increase in our cholesterols in the long run.

⚠️Late-night gaming
Men may play games to reduce stress after work, and some might even pull an all-nighter. It then becomes difficult for them to focus on work the next morning. Staying up late to play games disrupts our biological clock in the long run. Not only does this lifestyle exhaust the fluid in the body, it can also cause individuals to develop yin-deficient symptoms such as dry mouth, dry stools, and irritability.

According to the Chinese Medicine theories, the liver governs the emotions. Negative emotions can hurt the liver, and when the functions of the liver are affected, individuals may experience headache, burp or flatulence, stomachache, difficulty in passing motion, insomnia, and excessive sighing.

To soothe the liver, consume an appropriate amount of lotus root, white radish, luffa and dried citrus peel or drink rose tea, jasmine tea, bergamot tea, and chamomile tea to improve circulation of qi and blood. Doing our favourite sporting activity can also help relieve stress.

✔ CheckCheckCin Recommendation: Dragon Fruit Rose Tea
Ingredients: Water, Dragon Fruit Juice, Rock Sugar, Honey, Rose, Lemon Juice Concentrate, Oolong Tea
Effects: Relieves stress, moistens the bowels to relieve constipation. Suitable for difficulty passing stool, stress, frequent sighs, and dull complexion.
Note: To relieve menstrual discomfort, have this tea 3-7 days before period. Not suitable for menstruating and pregnant women.

In general, the menstrual cycle occurs in two phases. On average, it’s a 28-day cycle.

1) FOLLICULAR Phase - Day 1 to Day 14
- Go hard! Do high intensity workouts, lift heavy and perform total body strength training.
- Your body is more tolerant to pain and muscles recover quicker.
- Your body uses Carbs as its main source of fuel.
- You can increase your carb intake slightly especially after an intense workout.


2) LUTEAL Phase - Day 14 to Day 28
- I like to call this phase the “roller coaster” phase.
- this is when all the PMS symptoms start to hit: you might crave for sugar or high fat food, you have bigger appetite, you feel sluggish, you have trouble sleeping, your body retains more water, you feel bloated and you might suffer from mild cramps too.
- Your body turns to FAT AS FUEL instead of carbs.
- Good news, your body is now burning FAT rather than carbs or glycogen. Focus on steady pace cardio to get the most out of your workout.
- This is also when the muscle breakdown increases, hence it takes longer for you to recover from your workout. So choose moderation workout that’s less intense.
- You might lose your motivation BUT power through your workout, as much as possible, eat well and you WILL feel better.


We are all very different and it takes time to really understand your body. If you have this knowledge, you’re able to take advantage of the hormonal benefits and overcome the challenges by adjusting and changing your workout routine and also food intake.

Again, remember this is a guideline as there is very limited research in regards to training with your menstrual cycle. Give it a try, make changes and see what works for you.
