潤肺食物吃出白滑肌
中醫理論認為肌膚狀態反映著臟腑的健康狀況，所以想美白肌膚要從內到外著手，中醫有「肺主皮毛」之說，皮膚質素視乎肺部健康，如果肺氣強，氣血運行暢順，皮膚都會較為細嫩有光澤。
五色中以「白色入肺」，適量進食白色食物有助美白肌膚，大部分以「白」為名的藥材皆入肺，例如白朮、白芍、白茯苓等，亦可以適量進食有潤肺美白功效的白色食物，例如補中益氣又潤肺的百合、滋陰潤肺的雪耳、補肺氣的淮山、補肺健脾的薏米、潤肺潤腸的南杏、改善肺氣虛弱的白果等。
除了肺，亦要注意肝和脾的健康，因為肝鬱氣滯容易出黑眼圈，脾氣虛弱亦會導致面黃水腫，每日一杯米水健脾胃，適當地疏肝減壓，亦有助改善面色和肌膚狀況。
白果腐竹薏米糖水
功效：潤肺養顏，清熱祛濕。
材料：白果15粒、腐竹1塊、生薏米20克、冰糖適量
做法：
1. 材料洗淨，白果剝殼去芯；腐竹浸水至稍為軟身備用。
2. 鍋中加入約1000毫升水，放入全部材料，武火煮至水滾，調文火煮約45分鐘至軟身，最後以冰糖調味即可。
小貼士：想腐竹完全溶化令糖水如豆漿般滑溜，除了腐竹要新鮮不要買了回家後放太久才使用，記得先將腐竹浸水至少10分鐘。如果煲完仍然想見到一片片腐竹，可以先放五分之四腐竹去煲，最後四分之一腐竹與冰糖同煮即可。

Foods that moisten the lungs will give you fair and smooth skin
According to Chinese medicine theories, our skin condition reflects the health of our organs, so if we wish to own a fair and smooth skin, we need to take care of our body from within. There is a saying in Chinese medicine: “The lungs are the masters of the skin and hair”, which means the lungs’ health is reflected in the condition of the skin. If your lung qi is strong, and the circulation of the qi and blood is smooth, we will have a smoother and radiant skin.
As the Chinese saying goes “white enters the lungs”, this means in the study of five colours, foods that are white can brighten our skin. Most of these foods are Chinese medicines, such as atractylodes rhizome, white peony, and poria.
Similarly, we can also consume an appropriate amount of lily bulb, which nourishes the qi and moistens the lungs; snow fungus, which nourishes and moistens the lungs; Chinese yam, which nourishes lung qi; coix seed, which nourishes the lungs and strengthens the spleen; sweet almond, which moistens the lungs and intestines; and ginkgo nut, which strengthens lung qi.
Dried beancurd sweet soup with gingko nut and coix seed
Effects: moistens the lungs and skin, clears heat and dispels dampness
Ingredients: 15 gingko nuts, 1 piece of dried beancurd, 20g coix seeds, rock sugar
Preparation:
1. Rinse all ingredients thoroughly. Remove the shell and core of gingko nuts. Soak dried beancurd in water for 45 minutes till soften.
2. Combine all ingredients with 1000ml water in a pot and cook on high heat until boiling. Turn to low heat and simmer for 45 minutes, add rock sugar to taste.
Tip: If you want the dried bean curd sticks to fully soften and dissolve in sweet soup, and to be as silky as soymilk, make sure you have them soaked in water for at least 10 minutes. At the same time, use fresh bean curd sticks and do not leave them unused for too long. If bits and pieces of bean curds are still visible, you can sieve out 4/5 of the undissolved parts, and use the remaining portion to continue boiling with crystal sugar.
Besides lungs, we need to take care of the liver and spleen, because the stagnation of qi in the liver will cause the development of dark eye circles, whereas the weak spleen qi will cause water retention in the face, as well as making it appear more yellowish in tone. Drinking a cup of rice water a day can strengthen the spleen and stomach, and can relieve the tension developed on the liver. This will improve the condition of our face and skin.
