【夏日飲食篇】你最喜歡吃哪款燒味？
夏日燒味好選擇
很多時打工仔為求方便，又或是因午飯時間緊張，不知道吃甚麼時都會選擇外賣燒味飯來填飽肚子。燒味價錢便宜又隨處可見，起源於廣東，港式燒味絕對是聞名中外，不單是茶樓、茶餐廳又或是高級酒店都選擇以燒味作招牌菜。燒味主要為烤肉如燒肉、叉燒、燒鴨，另外也有切雞及油雞等，通常配合米飯、米粉、瀨粉、河粉、麵食等主食。 只要多加注意，吃燒味也能健康一點。也由於部分燒味經炭烤處理，會為肉類增加熱性，不宜每天進食。
夏日燒味飯 Top 3
第一名：燒鴨飯
鴨肉性涼，有滋陰清熱的功效，屬清補之食材，適合有內熱及虛火的人士食用，具消暑作用，是適合夏日食用的肉類。另外，由於鴨肉同時有利水消腫的作用，對於南方濕熱的夏季氣候，份外適合。想吃得更健康？帶有「肥膏」的鴨皮還是少吃為妙了，吃鴨胸肉相對較瘦，也較少皮下脂肪。
第二名：叉燒飯
叉燒多選用梅頭（豬肩肉），豬肉屬性平和，具補腎養血、滋陰潤燥功效，適合大部份體質人士食用。帶有「燶邊」（炭烤邊緣）的叉燒，實在令人垂涎三尺，但要吃得健康就要忍忍口不吃烤焦位置了，下單時最好説明要「瘦叉」，少下醬汁甚至「走汁」哦！
第三名：切雞飯
雞肉性溫，可以補益氣血、暖胃及滋養五臟，但注意感冒期間，濕熱、痰濕體質人士不宜食用。體質虛弱、久病後宜適量食用。切雞為燒味中味道相對清淡，但切雞的雞皮和脂肪屬肥甘厚味之物，進食時最好還是去掉，以免加重脾胃負擔，而伴食的薑蔥油分甚多，建議不要用來拌飯食用。
進食燒味飯健康小貼士：
✔視乎當日胃口選擇「少飯」，避免消化不良及飽滯。
✔伴以灼菜，營養更均衡。
✔少醬汁甚至「走汁」，控制鹽分攝取，以免加重腎臟負擔甚至引致水腫症狀。
✔去皮進食，以免肥甘厚味加重脾胃負擔。
✔少飲凍飲，選擇消暑例湯如冬瓜湯取代，可清熱消暑。
✔經過炭烤處理的燒味，為肉類增加熱性，不宜每天進食 。
✔食用時盡量去脂肪，不吃烤焦位置。
