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
材料:西瓜翠衣(白色部份)約300克、冬瓜連皮約600克(約一斤)、綠豆20克、冰糖適量
做法:
1. 所有材料洗淨。西瓜翠衣切塊;冬瓜留皮去籽切塊備用。
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.
Mung bean tea with watermelon and winter melon
Ingredients: 300g white rind of watermelon, 600g winter melon with skin, 20g mung beans, appropriate amounts of rock sugar
Preparation:
1. Rinse all ingredients thoroughly. Cut white rind of the watermelon into pieces. Seed winter melon, keep melon skin on and cut into pieces.
2. Combine all ingredients with 2000ml of water in a pot and cook on high heat until boiling. Turn to low heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Add rock sugar to taste.
Note: It is not suitable for those with asthenic spleen and stomach, loose stools, diarrhea, diabetes or ladies during menstruation.

凍飲引出小肚腩?
夏日天氣熱到人也快溶掉,想消暑的話,你會選擇凍飲還是熱飲?大部份人都想要冰凍飲品吧?!凍飲喝下去一刻好像感到暑氣全消,從中醫角度來看,冰塊確有消暑功效但要適可而止,凍飲屬生冷食物,多喝凍飲會損傷陽氣,脾胃運化水液的功能全憑陽氣推動,所以凍飲會使脾胃運化水液功能減退,加重體內寒濕,慢慢就會形成小肚腩,亦容易導致經痛、水腫、黑眼圈、臉色暗啞等問題。
一時間未能完全戒除凍飲的話,可以由轉飲走冰、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,尤其使用消暑食材炮製的飲品,既消暑又養生,下次吃西瓜時剩下西瓜皮可以留起,用來煲西瓜冬瓜皮水消消暑吧!
自煮消暑飲品 — 西瓜冬瓜皮水
材料:西瓜皮約300克(整個小西瓜皮或半個大西瓜皮)、冬瓜連皮約300克(一斤)、生薏米30克、綠豆20克、片糖適量
做法:
1. 所有材料洗淨。西瓜皮把最外面一層綠色皮切走,只留下白色部分,切塊備用。冬瓜連皮去核,切塊備用。
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, 調入適量片糖即可。

Does drinking cold beverages cause big belly?
The summer heat literally causes us to ‘melt’. In order to dissipate heat, would you opt for cold or hot drinks? Most people, I guess, would go for a cold beverage? Drinking cold beverages may seem effective in getting rid of body heat, but from the perspective of Chinese medicine, ice cubes, albeit helpful in clearing heat, should not be consumed excessively.
Cold beverages belong to the uncooked and cold food category. Drinking cold beverages excessively will damage the yang energy, and hence take a toll on the circulation of fluids at the spleen and stomach. Consequently, this will increase the dampness in the body, and eventually cause the formation of a belly bulge, as well as problems such as menstrual pain, water retention, dark eye circles and dull facial skin.
If you are unable to give up on cold drinks completely, try beverages that have been ice-chilled or at room temperature. If you are in an air-conditioned environment, try enjoying a cup of warm drink. You may consider using healthy and heat-relieving ingredients to make drinks. Why not try boiling watermelon and winter melon skin with water and enjoy the drink to clear body heat!
Watermelon Peel Winter Melon Water
Ingredients: 300g Watermelon rind (approx. one whole small watermelon or half of a large one), approx. 600g winter melon with skin (1 catty), 30g coix seed, 20g mung beans, slab sugar to taste
Preparation:
1. Rinse all ingredients thoroughly. Cut off the outer green peel of watermelon rind, with white portion remaining and cut into pieces. Remove seeds from winter melon, keeping the skin and cut into pieces.
2. Add 2000ml of water into pot, add in all ingredients and cook on high heat until boiling, then simmer on low heat for 30 minutes. Add sugar to taste.

【春日濕滯】祛濕不是狂灌祛濕茶就可以
#首先少喝凍飲免傷脾胃
#曬太陽做運動出汗也有助祛濕
#星期二提升正能量
健脾祛濕五部曲
人體好多病症都是由濕邪引起,身體有濕,就算吃再多補品都是徒勞無功。想祛濕並不是單靠喝一碗祛濕湯就能了事,飲食、起居生活細節都不能忽略啊!
一、少吃生冷
生冷及寒涼食物以及愛吃油膩、偏鹹及偏甜等肥甘厚味等,也會加重脾胃負擔,就會使水液代謝受影響,以致濕氣積聚。宜飲食清淡而富營養,少吃多餐,多喝室溫或暖飲料。
二、多吃健脾食物
適量進食粗糧如米飯、番薯、薯仔、白扁豆、薏米、淮山等健脾食材,赤小豆、黃豆、黑豆都有健脾祛濕功效,可按體質適量食用。
三、每天飲米水
用紅米、白米及薏米煮成的米水,有健脾祛濕的功效,我們建議的米水配方屬性平和,任何體質人士均適合飲用,每天一杯米水,有助強健脾胃,驅走濕氣。
健脾胃米水
材料:紅米2湯匙、白米半湯匙、生薏米半湯匙
做法:將材料洗淨,鍋內加入約800-1000毫升水,加入材料,以武火煮滾後調文火煮20-30分鐘。
*米水容易變壞,建議每天煲好,一天飲完,不要過夜。
*孕婦飲用不下薏米。
*糖尿病患者宜先諮詢營養師意見。
四、 動起來
常躲在冷氣房坐著不動,冷氣會令身體汗液未能透發,濕氣容易積聚於體內,久坐不動亦會令體內水液流動速度減慢,宜不時起來動一動,平日做適量運動及曬太陽,亦有助身體排汗祛濕。
五、避免「外濕」
濕重日子可以使用抽濕機減低室內濕度,淋雨、洗澡後沒有立即抹乾身體、洗頭後頭髮還未乾透便入睡等情況都會增加濕邪入體的機會,記得保持乾爽。
5 steps to strengthen spleen and dispel dampness
Many diseases of the human body are caused by dampness. It is pointless to eat more tonic food if you have dampness inside the body. To properly dispel dampness, you should not just drink tea but you also need to pay attention to diet and living habits.
1. Eat less cold/raw food
Cold/raw, cool and cold natured, oily, salty, sweet food can increase the burden on the spleen and stomach. It will affect the fluid metabolism and dampness accumulates. You should eat a light and nutritious diet, eat more frequently and less during each meal, drink more room temperature or warm drinks.
2. Eat more ingredients that can strengthen the spleen
Appropriately consume coarse grains and ingredients that can strengthen the spleen such as rice, sweet potato, potato, hyacinth bean, coix seed, Chinese yam etc. Rice bean, soya bean, black soya bean can also strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness. You can appropriately consume according to your body condition.
3. Drink rice water daily
Rice water made from white rice, red rice and coix seed can strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness. Our rice water recipe is mild in nature and suitable for all body conditions. Drinking a cup of rice water can strengthen the spleen and stomach and dispel dampness.
Rice water
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons red rice, half tablespoon of white rice, half tablespoon of coix seeds
Preparation: rinse all ingredients thoroughly. Combine all ingredients with 800-1000ml of water and cook on high heat until boiling. Turn to low heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
*Rice water should be made fresh daily and should not be stored overnight as it may spoil easily.
*For pregnant ladies, they can omit coix seeds.
*Those with diabetes should consult a nutritionist accordingly.
4. Move your body
Being in an air-conditioned room all the time can stagnate fluids within the body. Sitting without moving for long periods of time can slow down the body fluid flow and dampness will build out. You should get up and move every now and then. Regularly exercising and sunbathing can also promote perspiration and dispel dampness.
5. Avoid external dampness
On humid days, you can use a dehumidifier to reduce the indoor humidity. You would have more dampness inside the body aften the rain, if you do not dry your body immediately after bathing, or if you do not dry your hair well before going to sleep. Remember to stay dry.
