痰濕人健脾祛濕戒生冷
【男人檔案 — 新手胖爸爸】
年齡：38歲
飲食習慣：愛吃刺身、冰凍啤酒、嗜甜
體型特徵：體型圓潤、肌肉鬆軟、有肚腩、大汗、大便稀爛、嗜睡
性格：溫和穩重、善於忍耐
男人心聲：期待已久的小人兒出世了！初為人父的我既興奮又緊張，這舊小粉糰每天在吃、睡、拉中渡過，但就令我和老婆忙到不可開交，老婆換片、親餵母乳、哄睡無限loop，我好想幫手但好像無從入手，老婆笑我是幫不了忙是豬隊友，說我做事慢半拍……
EC分析：這位新手爸爸被冠以「豬隊友」之名感覺委屈，因為他屬於典型的痰濕體質！飲食不節以致中氣不足，水濕停於體內，不但導致肌肉鬆軟、多汗，人亦容易疲倦，終日懶惰不願動，所以對著秒秒鐘有不同需求的初生嬰兒，爸爸的反應就變得慢半拍，其實是有心無力。
EC建議：戒吃生冷，健脾祛濕！
想改善反應「慢半拍」的情況要從改善體質做起，少吃多餐，戒生冷食物及飲品，每天飲米水健脾祛濕，適量食用白扁豆、薏米、淮山、茯苓等健脾袪濕食材，適量做運動排汗，每天按壓腳部足三里穴2-3分鐘。去除多餘水濕後，人清爽了，反應自然快狠準！
