補腎益精增腦力
到了莘莘學子開學的九月份，家長們最關心的是小朋友能持續學習吸收新知識，究竟吃哪種食物可以幫助健腦益智？中醫理論認為「腎藏精生髓，髓聚而為腦」，要有足夠腎精滋養腦髓，才能使腦部發育健全，更能集中精力學習。所以想健腦益智，可以從補腎方向入手，「黑入腎」， 不少黑色食材都有補益腎氣的作用，例如黑芝麻、黑木耳、黑豆、烏雞等，而堅果類食物如核桃、花生、開心果、栗子亦有補腎功效。家長們不妨適量使用這些材料煲湯入饌，或者準備堅果作為小吃，但要注意經烘製的堅果類食物多屬性溫熱，多吃小心上火。

Nourish the kidneys to improve your brainpower
September is the time for students to begin a new school year. Parents’ biggest concern will be their children’s ability to absorb new knowledge. What types of food can help improve brainpower?
According to Chinese medicine theories, kidney stores the essence that generates marrow, and the accumulation of marrow forms the brain, therefore it is important to nourish the kidney so it has sufficient essence to encourage the development of the brain.
In order to boost brainpower further, we should start by nourishing the kidney, as the saying goes ‘black enters the kidney,’. Many black ingredients can replenish the qi of the kidney, like black sesame, white back black fungus, black bean and black-boned chicken.
Nuts such as walnut, peanut, pistachio and chestnut also share similar properties. Parents can consider adding these ingredients to soups, or serving nuts as snacks. Do note that baked nuts are warm in nature, and they might cause excessive body heat if consumed in a large quantity.
Black sesame – mild in nature, good for the liver and kidney; nourishes the blood and hair, loosens the bowels and relieves constipation; can prevent early appearance of grey hair and hair dryness
White back black fungus – mild in nature; nourishes the stomach, replenishes the qi and strengthens the body, cools and activates the blood
Black bean – mild in nature; nourishes the kidney, strengthens the spleen and induces diuresis; can relieve waist soreness, water retention and cramps that are caused by deficiency in the kidney. It is suitable for all body constitutions

Peanut – mild in nature; replenishes the qi and moistens the lungs; strengthens the spleen and invigorates the appetite; can encourage children’s intellectual growth and improve their memory; is suitable for individuals with qi and blood deficiency, those with poor appetite and women who are still breastfeeding. Individuals with yin deficiency and internal heat in the body should not consume fried peanut excessively, as it will increase body heat
Pistachio – warm in nature; can warm the kidney and spleen, loosen the bowels and aid the movement of stools. Suitable for both young and old, and people with qi stagnation. It is also suitable for individuals with the cold body constitution and had experienced stomachache, bloating and those who sigh regularly
Chestnut – warm in nature; strengthens the spleen and stomach, activates the blood, nourishes the kidney, strengthens the bones and tendons; can relieve stomach upset caused by coldness and deficiency in the spleen and stomach; as well as soreness in the waist and weakness in the knees, and frequent urination at night that is caused by deficiency in the kidney. Excessive consumption of chestnut might lead to bloating, so individuals with the constant feeling of stomach being stuffed and bloating problems are advised to not eat in a large amount.
