【以杯中物陶醉】喝酒後問題還未解決
紓緩宿醉素湯
遇到煩心困擾事時，有些人會主動找朋友傾訴，有些人卻選擇把心事自己扛，更甚的人會依賴杯中物。暢飲的瞬間固然痛快，但翌日醒來，頭痛、頭重欲吐、食慾不振等宿醉症狀令人難受至極。中醫典籍《本草綱目》記載「少飲則和氣行血」、「痛飲則傷神耗血」。酒屬性偏熱，有行氣活血、驅寒的功效， 但是過度飲酒容易傷神耗血，聚濕生痰化熱，加上都市人因熬夜而出現脾氣暴躁等症狀，體質本來就傾向熱性，喝酒後容易令體質轉為濕熱，出現暗瘡、口臭、大便黏臭等症狀。與其喝酒，不如飲湯養生。酒後不妨飲用以下這款清熱化濕的醒酒湯水可以紓緩宿醉症狀，也可補充喝酒後流失的水份。
解宿醉湯水小貼士：
適當地添加解宿醉食材如紅菜頭、洋薏米、生薏米、粟米鬚、木瓜、冬瓜、絲瓜、西洋菜等等。
