三招處理水土不服
去旅行最怕水土不服，即是人到了陌生地方，一時間未能適應當地的地理環境、食水或食物而引致各種症狀，多數為食慾不振、腹瀉嘔吐等腸胃不適。從中醫角度來看，脾胃虛弱的人特別容易出現水土不服，因為他們對於異地水質及飲食會較難適應，容易出現腹瀉、嘔吐等症狀。如果旅行時不幸患上水土不服，試用以下三招有助紓緩不適。
方法1：保持飲食清淡
雖然去旅行美食多籮籮，但小肚子不適時更要忍忍口，先進食溫熱的米粥或麥皮等清淡食物讓腸胃適應，可以的話進食用當地水製作的豆腐，因為豆腐容易消化、刺激性低，有助讓腸胃逐漸適應當地水土。
方法2：含生薑片
如果有嘔吐症狀，可以到超市或街市尋覓一下生薑，將之切片含在嘴裡可紓緩不適，因為生薑有和胃止嘔作用，或者食用出發前準備的薑糖、冬薑、薑茶。
方法3：帶米水去旅行
米有補中益氣、健脾養胃及止腹瀉功效，尤其適合脾胃氣虛的人食用，所以去旅行時不妨帶備即沖米水傍身，每朝飲一杯溫暖的米水更可補中養脾。
Tips to adjust to unfamiliar surroundings
When you are traveling to a new place, you may have difficulty initially adjusting to the new environment and climate. The unfamiliar food and water can lead to all kinds of symptoms, usually poor appetite, diarrhea, vomiting or abdominal discomfort. From a Chinese medicine perspective, those with asthenic spleen and stomach are prone to this type of maladjustment because they have difficulty adapting to water quality and food in different places. They are prone to symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting. If you are suffering from this during your trip, try the following three methods to help relieve discomfort.
Tip 1: Keep your diet light
There are many cuisines you want to try in your travels. However, you have to stop it when you have stomach discomfort. You can eat light food such as warm porridge or oatmeal to let your stomach adapt slowly. If you can, you can eat tofu made by local water, as the tofu is easy to digest to help your stomach gradually adapt to the local soil and water.
Tip 2: Place ginger slices in mouth
If you have vomiting symptoms, you can go to the supermarket or the market to find raw ginger. Cut it into slices and place in your mouth to relieve discomfort as ginger can nourish stomach and relieve vomiting, or you can eat ginger sugar, winter ginger or ginger tea before departure.
Tip 3: Travel with rice water
Rice can replenish vital energy and nourish qi, strengthen the spleen and stomach and relieve diarrhea. It is especially suitable for those with weak stomach and spleen qi to consume. So it is good to bring rice water powder on your trip. Have a cup of warm rice water to replenish vital energy and strengthen spleen.
