【福從口入】你了解自己體質嗎?
#經期不宜亂調補
#別被調經兩個字蒙蔽雙眼
#星期四正能量
寒熱體質調經食療大不同
很多女生在月經期間,都會特別留意飲食,微調日常飲食及生活習慣也能調經,特別要謹記月經前一星期要戒飲食生冷,緊張人士則可以喝帶香味的花茶如玫瑰或茉莉花等。調經的道理與養身一樣,還是要配合體質。有偏熱症狀的女生月經前後如比平時多吃溫補食材如紅棗、桂圓、薑茶等以調理氣血為名,其實卻是在為身體添加「熱氣」,火上加油,出現咽喉痛、爆暗瘡甚至引起皮膚敏感等狀況。我們將兩款常見調經食療分類為適合寒性或熱性體質人士,讓大家不要陷入調經不成反而讓身體出現其他問題的苦況。當然,有疑問還是諮詢醫師較穩妥。
