飲食不節慎防三高
朱先生：「最近做身體檢查，醫生說我在『三高』邊緣，如何解決這個中年危機？」
CheckCheckCin：「三高」即高血壓、高血糖及高血脂，可說是都市人的富貴病，長期飲食不節，經常進食高脂肪、高糖份、高鹽份食物，再加上缺乏運動、壓力大、作息不正常等因素，令各種身體指數超標。西醫會以各種藥物來降低血壓、血糖及血脂，而從中醫角度來看需要改善體質，必須改變生活習慣，才能從根源上緩解「三高」症狀。一般來說痰濕、血瘀及陰虛體質人士比較容易患上「三高」，因為痰濕體質人士脾氣虛弱，水液運化失調；血瘀體質人士則血脈不通；陰虛體質人士作息顛倒容易令血壓上升。
想改善「三高」情況，宜諮詢註冊中醫師對症下藥調理體質，飲食上宜清淡，多菜少肉，減少外食或加工食品，避免進食高脂肪、高糖份、高鹽份的食物；養成定期做運動的習慣，一星期最少三次，每次最少30分鐘，強度以輕微出汗為宜；避免晚睡熬夜；尋找合適的減壓方法，因為焦慮不安等負面情緒也會導致血壓上升。

Unhealthy diets and ‘the three highs’
“I just completed a body check-up recently, and the doctor told me I’m at risk of getting the three highs. What can I do to solve this mid-life crisis?”
CheckCheckCin: The three highs refer to high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol, and urban dwellers tend to have these problems. Poor dietary habits such as consuming foods that are high in cholesterol, sugar, and sodium, and the lack of exercise, inability to cope with stress, and unhealthy lifestyle would cause a spike in the readings.
According to Chinese Medicine, aside from using medication, an individual should improve the body constitution and lead a healthier lifestyle if he or she wishes to get these conditions under control.
In general, individuals with the damp heat, blood stasis, and yin-deficient body constitutions would develop the three highs more easily. Individuals with a damp heat body constitution have asthenic qi and spleen, and the fluid would stagnate easily in the body. Those with the blood stasis constitution may experience the stagnation of the blood and the vein. People with a yin-deficient constitution will experience a spike in their blood pressure if they constantly mess with their biological clock.
To improve the condition of the three highs, consult registered and licensed Chinese physicians, so they can prescribe you the right medicine and customize treatment for you.Eat lighter food, take more vegetables and cut down on meat, reduce eating out and processed food, and avoid eating foods that are high in cholesterol, sugar, and sodium.
Cultivate the habit of exercising regularly. Make it a point to exercise and sweat three times a week, and each session should last at least 30 minutes. Avoid sleeping late and find the most appropriate way to relieve your stress, as negative emotions can also trigger a surge in the blood pressure.
