35歲女生保養黃金期
年齡是女人的秘密,面對30歲及35歲這兩個人生關口,更是令人焦慮不安!「三字頭」代表開始踏進輕熟女階段,大家都會盤算自己人生、愛情、工作路上達到多少歷程碑。
而從中醫角度來說,35歲卻是更重要的人生關口,因為現存最早中醫理論著作《黃帝內經》記載,女生「五七陽明脈衰,面始焦,髮始墮。」意思是女生從35歲開始,胃及大腸功能開始衰弱,以致面色開始變得暗啞、沒有彈性、出現皺紋、頭髮脫落,這亦與西醫以35歲或以上訂為高鹷產婦的說法不謀而合。
女生踏進35歲,就要認真保養陽明脈,「陽明者胃脈也」,胃經主養氣血,養好胃氣血自然好,要養好胃就要從飲食著手,生冷食物及豆類容易引致胃脹問題,辛辣、油膩、過酸及刺激性食物都會削弱胃的消化功能,不宜多吃。
作息定時、飲食清淡對養胃都有幫助,而且要保持情緒穩定,因為動怒會影響氣血運行。都市女性一般工作壓力大,容易有胃脹、胃酸倒流的情況,每天可以飲米水,也可試試以下養胃茶療紓緩症狀。

35- Golden Age for Ladies to Preserve
A lady’s age is a secret, and many begin to worry when faced with turning 30 and 35! Some start to seriously plan for their life, companionship, and career as they enter their 30s.
From Chinese medicine perspective, 35 is an important milestone as the stomach and intestine functions begin to deteriorate at 35 leading to yellowish complexion, elasticity loss, appearance of lines, hair loss. This coincides with Western medicine deeming pregnancies at aged 35 or above as high risk.
As ladies turn 35, it is time to seriously protect the Yang Ming meridian, which corresponds with the stomach. The stomach channel nourishes qi and blood, so a healthy stomach means healthy qi and blood. Diet is where one would start. Cold/raw foods and bean products can lead to abdominal bloating. Spicy, oily, acidic and stimulating food can decrease your stomach functions so it would be wise not to consume too much.
