【24節氣- 立冬】
是日立冬，是冬季第一個節氣，象徵正式踏入冬季。民間一向也有「立冬進補」的說法，意思是只要冬季時補得好，來年的春天自然生龍活虎。流傳下來的「補冬」多數以溫補為主，但是現代人飲食及生活習慣不一樣，香港又屬南方氣候，已到立冬氣溫仍然未變冷，所以不能一味靠溫補。說到底還是要先養好脾胃再適量進食溫補食材。每天早上一杯暖和的米水，同時可好好補中益氣。另外，即使天氣未算冷也要適度保暖，保護陽氣，為身體保充熱量，多吃溫暖的米粥和食物，少吃生冷，避免吹風，都是立冬的養生重點。
這時候可以多吃豆類及堅果，如性溫的栗子，亦不妨多吃平和又易消化的魚類。

Beginning of Winter
– strengthen the spleen and stomach
– protect your yang qi
– avoid cold and raw foods
Today marks beginning of winter and it’s the first solar term of winter. There’s often the saying that you should have more tonic food in winter so that your body will be stronger for spring. But the modern lifestyle may not be suitable to do this especially when Hong Kong has a southern climate so even though it’s beginning of winter, it’s not quite cold yet. Have a cup of warm rice water every morning and you can replenish vital energy and qi. Even though it’s not cold, it’s important to keep warm to protect yang qi. To keep warm energy in your body, have more warm foods, avoid raw and cold things and air vents.
You can also have more beans and nuts such as chestnuts. Also have more fish that is mild in nature and easy to digest.
