壓力會致肥？
OL小姐：「遇上工作壓力好大時，我就會不停吃，愈吃愈胖！究竟是身體出現問題，還是純粹情緒影響？難道真的要辭職才可脫離這個肥胖地獄？」
CheckCheckCin：在中醫角度，脾胃好，體重自然會進行相應調節。依我來看，你這是「壓力胖」，因工作壓力太大而失去自制能力，特別任性想吃垃圾食物或重口味食物來平衡心理，脂肪也只會相對加快囤積體內！另外，當肝氣鬱結，體內氣血運行不暢也會加重脾藏負擔。如脾胃罷工，也就不能將多餘水分排除體外，身體聚濕，會令自己肥腫難分！要處理壓力胖，先要學會減壓，喝一杯帶香味的花茶有助疏肝減壓。另外也要加強脾胃功能，有助處理因為壓力而加重其工作量。每天喝米水，多吃米粥等補中益氣的食物，脾氣好，人才不容易長胖！
教你多一個小tips！很多上班一族都因為工作繁忙而很晚吃飯，這樣也是長胖的一大原因，公司長備健康小食如梳打餅或火龍果，當覺得餓時就應吃一點，放工時才不會一下子吃過量。
Can stress cause weight gain?
Ms Office Lady: When I’m really stressed at work, I tend to eat nonstop and get really fat! Is it an issue with my body or simply emotionally driven? Do I have to quit to stop the weight gain?
CheckCheckCin: From a Chinese medicine perspective, a heathy spleen and stomach helps to regulate your body weight. I think you are experiending ‘pressure-fat’ and you are losing self-control from work stress. You are eating more junk food and heavy flavored foods to balance your emotions and the fat accumulates in your body. Also when your liver qi is stagnated, qi and blood also doesn’t flow well and it adds to the load for our spleen. If your spleen goes on a strike, your body will retain water which causes bloating too. You need to learn to reduce stress to manage this. Try some floral tea to relieve stress and e sure to keep a health spleen and stomach to manage other stress-related issues. Drink a cup of rice water daily, have more rice congee type of food to replenish vital energy. Healthy spleen qi can help to prevent chubbiness!
One more small tip for you: a lot of working people have late dinners due to work schedules, and this is another cause for weigt gain too. Try to stock up on healthy snacks like saltines or dragon fruits and have some when you’re hungry. This way you won’t over eat at dinner!
