【CheckCheckMail – 榴槤燥熱定補身？】
#食榴槤補過食三隻雞？
#榴槤那麼香又那麼臭
#星期三問題多多
劉連香：「EC，有人話榴槤燥熱，亦有人話榴槤補身，究竟食唔食好？」
CheckCheckCin：一般人印象中榴槤屬滋補的水果，從中醫角度看榴槤性熱，具暖胃散寒功能，適量食用可改善手腳冰冷、疲倦、精神不佳、食慾不振等症狀，所以有補身的說法。寒性體質人士相對適合進食，但一星期進食一至兩次，每次品嚐一至兩件為宜，進食過量容易引致胃脹、暗瘡、便秘或大便氣味臭穢等症狀！尤其是在炎炎夏日，多吃實在會燥熱，要注意高血壓、糖尿病患者、濕疹患者不宜食用。人稱榴槤為果王，山竹為果后，其實是因為榴槤熱，而山竹性寒，有清涼解熱的功效，才有先吃榴槤再吃山竹的說法。
Is having durian in the summer good for the body?
CheckCheckCIn: A lot of people have the impression that durian is a fruit that can nourish the body. From a Chinese medicine perspective, durian can dispel cold and warm the stomach, consuming appropriately can alleviate symptoms of cold limbs, fatigue, lack of energy, poor appetite. That is why people believe it can nourish the body. Those with cold bodies can eat it, but should limit to 1-2 times per week and 1-2 pieces each time. Eating too much durian can lead to abdominal bloating, acne, constipation or smelly stool. During the summer, eating more can lead to high chances of having dry heat in the body. Note that those with high blood pressure, diabetes, eczema should not eat durian. People often think of durian as king of fruits and mangosteen as queen of fruits. That’s because durian is hot in nature, and mangosteen is cold in nature, so there is a saying to first have durian then have mangosteen.
