其實唔食過量重口味食物就會香香?
女神：宜家有種「女神糖」，據說食完身體會發出香味，究竟中醫角度有無呢回事呢？
答：《本草綱目》中有提過茉莉花是可美容之物，有「長髮潤燥香肌」的功效。茉莉花香氣怡人，有理氣活血的作用，多吃能令皮膚散發出芳香。話雖如此，但難以統計究竟要吃多少才可以令人散發「女神香氣」，所以說「女神糖」究竟有沒有功效，真的無從得知。其實在中醫理論中，濕熱體質人士體味就會特別濃烈，要舒緩可配合體質，多吃清熱祛濕的食材如粟米鬚、冬瓜、綠豆等。無晒體味，才是正。女神。
Goddess: There’s a kind ‘Goddess Candy’ that claims to give off a pleasant fragrance if you eat it, is there such a thing in Chinese Medicine?
Answer:
“The Compendium of Materia Medica” states that Jasmine Flower is considered a beauty product and has healing effects of improving hair quality and skin fragrance, and moisturizing dry skin. Jasmine flower has a pleasant aroma, helps to regulate qi and blood flow. Consuming lots of Jasmine Flower can indeed cause your skin to give off a floral aroma. However, it is hard to quantify how much a person have to eat to achieve a ‘goddess-like’ aroma, so it is then also difficult to gauge how effective such ‘Goddess Candy’ can be. Chinese Medicine states that people with damp heat body types are prone to stronger body odor. To relieve that, it would help to eat foods that can clear heat and remove dampness, such as corn silk, winter melon and mung beans. You can start by being a natural Goddess by being odor free!
