【端午節快樂】今個月你吃了多少隻糭？
#打開雪櫃仲食剩幾多隻糭
#不如去游龍舟水幫助消化
#星期一BlueMonday
又到一年一度的糭子節，相信大家未到端午節正日，已經吃了不少糭下肚吧？無論傳統鹹肉糭或是新口味的糭，材料大都離不開糯米，從中醫角度看，糯米性熱，有補中益氣、止瀉及止汗的功效，還能暖脾胃、減夜尿，但因為黏糯滋膩，易有胃脹及多胃氣的人不宜多吃，扭傷和痛症患者更是不宜！
想應應節吃糭是可以的，但要食得其法，教你以下吃糭防滯小貼士及急救茶療，祝大家有個不滯不膩的端午節！
1. 避免在晚上吃糭，中午吃就最好，腸胃有足夠時間消化
2. 吃糭前1小時，先進食有助消化的水果，例如菠蘿、奇異果、木瓜等，又或者是含豐富纖維的水果如橙或柚子，加速腸胃蠕動
3. 每次吃糭的份量以半隻為限，以一般鹹肉粽大小計算
4. 吃糭後去公園散散步，有助消化
5. 喝一杯消滯茶療，有助脾胃消化
推介一個消滯茶療，星期一早上煮好放涼，全家人一起飲用或入樽帶出遊玩時飲用都可以！
