【春日潮濕】要同美顏恩物暫時說再見
#過度滋陰會適得其反
#春天適當祛濕才是美顏養生之法
#星期二提升正能量
潮濕天不宜滋陰潤肺
花膠、燕窩、雪耳、雪燕等食材都是女士們的最愛，因為它們都具有滋陰、潤肺、養顏的功效，在餐牌上見到它們的話實在是必點無疑。不過中醫養生之道講求平衡，在春天天氣回暖濕度上升的日子，如果繼續進食這些滋陰潤肺食物，恐怕會造成養陰過度，甚至增加體內濕氣。因為具有滋陰潤肺功效的食材，適合用於陰虛燥熱狀態，陰虛是指體內水液不足、陽氣相對偏盛，出現眼乾口乾、手腳心胸口煩熱、潮熱盜汗、小便偏黃、大便偏乾甚至便秘等症狀，多出現在長期熬夜、嗜吃辛辣、久病體虛或更年期人士身上，他們的身體缺水乾涸，便需要進食滋陰食物以作平衡。過度滋陰會對身體造成負擔，妨礙脾胃運化，出現食慾減退、胸悶腹脹、容易疲倦、水腫等濕重症狀。所以在潮濕的春天，宜暫時放下滋陰食物，應多健脾胃及養肝強肺，配合季節去養生。
Do not nourish yin and moisten the lungs in the humid season
Fish maw, bird’s nest, snow fungus and snow swallow are some of ladies’ favorites as they all have the effect of nourishing yin, moistening the lungs, and improving skin quality. The dishes cooked with these ingredients are very popular. Chinese traditional medicine promotes balance in lifestyle and diet. In spring, when the weather is warmer and the humidity increases, eating these ingredients may cause excessive yin and even increase the body’s dampness. Ingredients that can nourish yin and moisten the lungs are suitable for a body with yin deficiency and dryness. Yin deficiency is characterized by lack of fluid in the body, strong yang qi, dry eyes and dry mouth, hot palms and feet, hot flashes, excessive sweating, yellowish urine, dry stool, and even constipation for those with frequent late nights, preference for spicy food, those with chronic illness or those in menopause. Their bodies lack fluid and they need to eat ingredients that can nourish yin to balance. Excessively nourishing yin will increase burden on the body, hinder the functions of spleen and stomach, and cause dampness symptoms such as loss of appetite, chest tightness, abdominal bloating, fatigue, edema, etc. Therefore, in the wet spring, it is advisable to temporarily avoid the ingredients that can nourish yin. You should strengthen the spleen and stomach and nourish the liver and lungs, and enjoy healthy living according to the season.
