鴨肉偏涼清補又滋陰
不知道是哪裡來的誤會，老一輩總會說「鴨肉好毒」、「唔好食鴨，傷口會發」，其實鴨肉不但不是發物，更是滋陰補虛及具祛水腫功效的食材，清代名醫張璐在《本經逢原》中指出：「鴨，溫中補虛，扶陽利水，是其本性，患水腫人用之最妥。」配合個人體質食用，就可發揮鴨肉的最大功效。
鴨肉 – 屬性偏涼，具滋陰補虛、養胃利水的功效，適合陰虛體弱及陰虛火旺體質，適合身體有偏熱症狀的人食用，例如有暗瘡、口瘡、大便偏乾。而由於鴨肉屬性偏涼，所以脾胃虛寒、容易胃痛、腹瀉、感染風寒感冒的人皆不宜進食，以免症狀雪上加霜。
鴨蛋 – 性涼味甘鹹，具滋陰清肺功效，尤其適合肺熱病人、咽喉痛者食用；由於屬性寒涼，所以陽虛、脾胃虛寒容易胃痛及腹瀉者不宜食用。鴨蛋屬於發物，有皮膚問題、暗瘡等人士不宜服用。而用用鴨蛋醃製而成的鹹蛋，鹽份含量高，高血壓、糖尿病患者不宜多吃。
