【新年急救脾胃】食滯了可以吃一碗蕎麥麵！
中國人過新年，最重要是豐衣足食，可是飽享口福之後，受苦的卻是脾胃，當你以為少吃幾餐就能夠消滯，其實節食這個方法反而會令脾胃更受傷害。這時候反而應該反璞歸真以粗糧代餐，不但味美又能飽足，更可養脾胃！其實現代人平日已經吃得如此豐盛，多吃粗糧是簡易的養生方法！
燕麥：性平，能健脾益氣、止虛汗，更有降血糖的功效。燕麥含有大量纖維，不但飽肚而且低脂，有助舒緩習慣性便秘、多汗等症狀，適合產婦、嬰幼兒、老年人等人士服用。 要注意因為燕麥含有大量纖維，過量服用或會停積成滯反而會引致便秘。
蕎麥：性涼，有消滯健胃的作用。對於消化不良，無胃口及慢性泄瀉的症狀最為有效，更有清熱及解酒的作用。在新年時吃得太多熱氣食物及肉食而引起的滯意和熱症都有幫助，這時候不妨吃個昆布湯蕎麥麵！注意因為蕎麥屬性偏涼脾胃虛寒不宜多服。另外蕎麥含大量蛋白質，皮膚敏感、鼻敏感亦不宜多吃。
