女人養腎不易老
一提到腎虛，彷彿是男士的專利，其實中醫理論裡提及的腎，不止是西醫中的腎臟，還包括骨骼、造血、生殖發育、生長衰老及泌尿等功能，而且「腎藏精」，腎精是生命之根本，所以養好腎，不但可以擁有良好的生育能力，還能使肌膚保持彈性、頭髮富有光澤、不易畏冷。
如何得知自己腎虛？看看你有沒有以下症狀！
– 面色暗沉
– 有黑眼圈
– 掉髮／白頭髮增多
– 色斑漸多
– 時有頭暈耳鳴
– 視力減退
– 記憶力衰退
– 睡不安寧
– 夜尿頻繁
– 腰膝痠痛
– 畏寒怕冷
– 精神欠佳
– 備孕良久仍然未有消息／反覆流產
如果有四項或以上症狀，就要注意一下自己是否腎虛了，症狀嚴重的話宜諮詢醫師意見。
中醫食療理論認為「黑色入腎」，多進食黑色食物有助養好腎，例如黑芝麻、黑米、黑糯米、黑棗、黑豆、黑木耳、桑椹、烏雞等。以下介紹一款補腎益精的茶療，尤其適合經常用腦及面色欠光澤人士飲用。
