手術後只可吃白粥青菜？
病人家屬：「屋企人準備做手術，醫生囑咐手術後宜飲食清淡，是否只能吃白粥青菜？」
CheckCheckCin：現代人飲食選擇精彩豐富，當生病時聽到醫生囑咐「飲食清淡」便聞風喪膽，總覺得「無啖好食」甚至以為要食素，其實都是錯誤的觀念，從中醫角度來看，飲食清淡有以下幾項原則： 如不清楚自己體質屬性則多吃屬性平和的食物，以減少食物偏性對臟腑的影響；烹調時保持食材的原汁原味及營養；多採用蒸、煮、灼、燉的烹調方法；減少使用油、鹽、糖等調味料；煮至容易入口及消化的質感；避免肥甘厚味，即油膩、甜膩及味道濃郁的食物；避免發物，即會令舊疾復發、新病加重的食物。
手術後如果每餐都吃白粥、青菜，清淡是清淡，但營養並不足夠，因為手術後病人需要吸收不同營養以強健身體，食材選擇需要多元化，最重要還是配合體質，以下給你一些好煮意：
・蕃茄薯仔石崇魚湯
・乾瑤柱番薯粥
・魚湯底米粉／魚片粥／通粉
・燉牛肉／豬肉汁
・蒸肉餅飯
・蒸蛋飯
正餐以外可以準備用紅米、白米及生薏米煮成的米水，有健脾養胃功效，養好脾胃等於養好消化系統，脾胃好就能吸收食物中的營養，身體自然更快康復。
簡易健脾胃米水
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。
*孕婦可不落薏米。
*糖尿病患者宜先諮詢營養師意見。
Are plain congee and vegetables the only choices after surgery?
"My family member is preparing for surgery. The doctor recommended a light diet post surgery. Are plain congee and vegetables the only option?"
CheckCheckCin: Modern people have a rich and varied diet. When they are sick, they tend to over react about the light diet suggested by doctors. They always think that they can no longer eat any tasty food or even think that vegetables are the only option left. In fact, they are wrong. From Chinese medicine perspective, light diet has the following principles: use mild natured ingredients if you do not know your body type to reduce the effect of food natures on the organs; keep the original taste and nutrition of the ingredients during cooking; use cooking methods such as steaming, boiling and stewing; reduce seasonings such as oil, salt, sugar; boil food down to a texture that is easy to eat and digest; avoid oily and fatty food, which is greasy, sweet and heavy-flavoured food; avoid stimulating foods, it will lead to relapse of old issues and worsen new symptoms.
After the surgery, if you eat plain congee and vegetables for every meal, it is quite light but there is not enough nutrition. As the patient need to absorb different nutrients to strengthen the body after surgery, the choice of ingredients should be diversified, the most important thing is to match the body condition. Here are some good suggestions.
・Tomato soup with potatoes and scorpionfish
・Sweet potato congee with dried scallops
・Rice noodles with fish soup/ fish fillet congee / macaroni
・Sauce from stewed beef or pork
・Steamed pork cake rice
・Steamed egg rice
Besides having regular diet, you can also drink rice water made with red rice, white rice and coix seed to strengthen spleen and stomach. Keeping the spleen and stomach healthy means to keep the digestive system healthy which is a basis of health.

*Rice water should be made fresh daily and should not be stored overnight as it may spoil easily.
