【婚前頭髮暗啞無光澤】「以形補形」聽得多,你聽過「以黑補黑」未?
黑米 VS紫米
一頭烏卒卒的頭髮能讓你成為婚禮上的焦點,可惜不少準新娘往往忽略頭髮健康的細節。從中醫角度來說,腎氣充足便可循經絡將養分輸送到頭皮。頭髮都會烏黑濃密,健康亮澤。想擁有一頭令人羨慕的頭髮,不妨多從黑色食物入手,黑色食物如黑豆、黑芝麻、黑米不但營養豐富,有補腎功效,更有黑髮美容等獨特功效。
黑米:又稱為黑粳米,性平。具滋陰補腎,益氣強身的功效,有助改善頭髮早白、貧血、腰痠等。
紫米:又稱紫糯米、性溫。功效與糯米相近,有「米中極品」之稱。能補氣健脾胃,能改善身體虛弱、多汗、容易頭暈等症狀。適合氣血虛弱、陽虛體質人士。要注意糯米性質黏滯滋膩,難以消化礙濕,所以雖然能健脾胃,但不能過量服用。脾胃虛弱、消化力差及有濕疹者不能常服,小兒及生病時更不宜服用。
Eat for your pitch black hair
Black rice vs purple rice
A head full of pitch black hair can really make you the spotlight of your wedding. But a lot of bride-to-be’s become so busy they forget to take care of their hair. From Chinese perspective, sufficient kidney qi can bring necessary nutrients to your scalp. Your hair then becomes darker and fuller with a healthy shine. To get hair like that, start with black color foods such as black beans, black sesame, black rice. They are full of nutrients and can replenish the kidneys and darken hair.
Black rice: mild in nature. Nourishes yin and replenishes the kidneys, strengthen qi and body. Improves early appearance of white hair, anemia, and sore lower back.
Purple rice: also known as purple glutinous rice and warm in nature. Healing effects are similar to glutinous rice and also viewed as ‘best of rice’. Replenishes qi and strengthens the spleen and stomach. Improves overall body weakness, excessive sweating and dizziness. Suitable for those with weak asthenic qi and blood, and those with yang deficient body constitution. Note that glutinous rice is more sticky and heavy in texture and can be difficult to digest. Although it can strengthen the spleen and stomach, it shouldn’t be over consumed. It is not suitable for those with weak asthenic spleen and stomach, those with eczema or difficulty with digestion. It is also not suitable for children or anyone who is sick.
