【護膚教室】媽媽都想擁有白滑嫩肌
如何不做黃面婆
「黃面婆」是家庭主婦的俗稱,其實媽媽們為家庭勞心勞力,卻換來這樣的稱呼實在不公平啊!中醫理論著作《黃帝內經》記載女生「五七(35歲)陽明脈衰,面始焦,髮始墮。」人衰老是自然定律,但如果發現面色特別黃的話,就要注意是否脾氣虛弱的症狀了,因為「脾氣虛,皮膚枯」,脾虛弱就會令皮膚枯黃無光澤,所以要鼓勵媽媽健脾胃,從中醫角度來看,黃色對應脾,不妨多進食黃色食材,同時避免進食生冷、煎炸、甜食;早上9時至11時是脾經循行時間,每天在此時飲用米水有助養好脾。
拒絕做黃面婆飲食調護:
– 適量進食健脾食材如小米、淮山、扁豆、茯苓、黨參、粟米、黃豆、燕麥
– 避免進食生冷寒涼的飲品及食物
– 每日早上9至11時飲用米水,健脾效果更好
