慎防跌入水腫陷阱
不少人聞水腫而色變，有人更因為怕水腫而少喝水，其實如果飲水不夠，未能把體內積聚的鹽份排出，反而令水腫問題更嚴重。導致水腫的原因眾多，原來日常飲食中更有不少水腫陷阱，你又知道多少呢？
1. 食太鹹會水腫，多吃甜也容易水腫
很多人都知道吃得太鹹會容易出現水腫，因為鹽含有鈉質，鈉質會將水分留在體內而造成水腫。而從中醫角度來看，多吃甜食會損傷脾胃功能，水液因為「脾失健運」導致滯留體內形成水腫。
2. 遠離生冷食物
生冷食物是指未煮過或溫度低於室溫的食物，中醫理論認為生冷食物會耗損陽氣，妨礙脾胃運化，令水濕滯留體內形成水腫。
3. 小心高鈉湯底
湯粉麵是不少人的主食選擇，不少看似清澈的清湯湯底，其實暗藏不少鹽份和味精，鈉質含量甚高，所以想吃得健康就記著少喝湯。
4. 小心醬汁、加工、罐頭食物
加工食物如香腸、火腿、魚肉燒賣、丸類食物，現成醬汁如沙茶醬、咖喱醬等，在製作過程中加入不少鹽份和味精，罐頭食物亦一樣，鈉質含量高之餘更含有不少添加劑，多吃亦會增加水腫的可能。而從中醫角度來看，重口味食物會加重脾胃負擔，令水濕停滯於體內造成水腫。
5. 慎選涼果蜜餞
涼果和蜜餞味道酸酸甜甜的，吃下去很開胃，有不少都是由水果製造的，應該健康吧？然而涼果的製作過程中會加入大量鹽醃製，鈉含量極高，為了令味道豐富又會加入不少糖份，想遠離水腫還是少碰為妙。

Don’t fall into edema traps
Some people drink less water to prevent edema. This however leads to lack of water in the body, and the body cannot properly discharge accumulated sodium, which worsens edema. There are many causes of edema, and there are many edema traps in a daily diet. How much do you know?
1. Overly salty diet or eating too much sweets
Many people know that eating too salty will easily cause edema as the salt contains sodium, and sodium leaves fluid in the body that leads to edema. From the point of view of Chinese medicine, eating too much sweet foods will damage the spleen and stomach function. When the spleen is not functioning accordingly, the fluid naturally retains in the body and causes edema.
2. Cold/raw food
Cold/raw food refers to uncooked food or food below room temperature. Chinese medicine believes that cold/raw cold food will consume yang qi then hinder the transportation of spleen and stomach. The fluid naturally retains in the body and causes edema.
3. Soups that are high in sodium
Noodles with soup is a common meal choice. The soup base actually contains a lot of salt and MSG, an the sodium content is very high, so if you want to eat healthy, remember to drink less soup.
4. Sauces, processed, canned food
Processed foods such as sausages, ham, fish meat siu mai, and meatball, ready-made sauces such as shacha sauce, curry paste, etc., have a lot of salt and MSG in the production process. Canned foods are the same- high in sodium content and contain many additives. Eating too much will lead to edema. From the point of view of Chinese medicine, thick sauced food will increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, causing fluid to stagnate in the body and cause edema.
5. Preserved fruit
Preserved fruit tastes sour and sweet, and it is very appetizing to eat. Many of them are made of fruits. Sounds healthy? However, a large amount of salt is used during production. The sodium content is very high. In order to enrich the taste, a lot of sugar is also added. It is better to stay away from the preserved fruit to prevent edema.
