小滿節氣到了！
小滿節氣，意指稻與麥等穀物已結穗盈滿，亦即炎熱夏季開始的前奏，天氣悶熱潮濕，有時熱得讓人透不過氣來，大家會為貪一時之涼快而進食雪糕、凍飲來降溫，腸胃毛病就容易接踵而來，所以這個節氣的飲食調養重點為清熱利濕，多進食冬瓜、青瓜、絲瓜、綠豆、薏米、馬蹄、淮山等食物，有助熱氣和祛濕。日光時間提早來臨，夏天不宜賴床，趁早晨時間到戶外散步或慢跑，促進陽氣生長，但要注意別在滿身大汗時吹冷氣，宜先把汗抹乾讓身體慢慢降溫。
溫馨提示：
．多吃清爽清淡的蔬菜，多菜少肉的飲食更健康
．每日一杯米水健脾祛濕
．少飲少食滋膩助濕的牛奶、奶茶、芝士、花膠等
Grain full solar term signifies that rice and wheat in the farms are ready to be harvested. It is also the beginning of hot summer. The humid weather can make breathing difficult. Everyone naturally turns to eating ice-cream or drinking cold drinks to cool down the body more quickly, which leads to stomach issues. The important diet note during grain full is to clear heat and promote diuresis. Eat ingredients that can clear heat and dispel dampness, such as winter melon, cucumber, luffa, mung beans, coix seeds, water chestnuts or Chinese yam. Daylight comes early so try waking up early to go walking or running to promote yang qi. But remember do not stay close to the air condition vents when sweating. You should dry the sweat first and let the body cool down slowly.
Gentle reminders:
．Eat more refreshed and light vegetable, more vegetables and less meat makes a healthier diet.
．Drink rice water every day to strengthen spleen and dispel dampness.
．Eat less food that is nourishing and aid dampness, such as milk, milk tea, cheese or fish raw.
