【#24節氣 – 立冬】
是日立冬，象徵正式踏入冬季。冬，意為「終」，為年度最後一個季節，天氣寒冷，萬物潛藏，人體也是順應著大自然而變化，新陳代謝也相對緩慢，故此養生之道在於養陰護陽。活動宜多靜少動，可以曬曬太陽養陽氣，早睡晚起，宜少耗氣，少發汗，來個輕鬆的小慢跑、拉筋或靜態瑜伽。民間一向有「立冬進補」的說法，但香港屬南方氣候，雖然已到立冬但仍未變冷，所以不能一味靠溫補，還是先養好脾胃再適量進食溫補食材，適量進食薏米、淮山、番薯等，多吃溫暖的米粥，亦可以適量食用有益精補腎功效的食材，例如黑芝麻、栗子、核桃等。
立冬養生重點：「養陰護陽，益腎養精」
南瓜：補中益氣、解毒消腫、潤肺益氣、平喘化痰
栗子：養脾健胃，補腎壯腰，強筋骨
南瓜栗子米糊
功效：健脾益氣補腎，有助冬季暖身。
