【季節養生】秋天喝蜂蜜水好滋潤

#蜂蜜每日一茶匙已足夠
#濕熱易胃脹腹瀉人士不宜食用
#星期四食材

吃蜂蜜宜忌八問
坊間有「秋吃蜜，眾病消」的說法，從中醫角度來看，蜂蜜有潤燥功效，的確適合乾燥的秋季食用，不過蜂蜜並非人人適合吃，食用時亦有不少注意事項，吃之前先來了解一下蜂蜜小知識。

問1：蜂蜜有何功效？
答：蜂蜜性平，有補脾潤肺、潤腸及解毒功效，可紓緩因肺燥引起的乾咳及腸燥便秘等問題；亦有除心煩、改善食慾不振、口瘡的作用，尤其適合氣虛、血虛、陰虛、陽虛及血瘀體質人士服用。

問2：哪些人不適合吃蜂蜜？
答：對蜂蜜或花粉有過敏反應的人，脾胃虛弱、易出現胃脹及腹瀉的人都不宜多吃，因為蜂蜜有輕瀉作用。濕熱及痰濕體質人士都不適合，痰濕內熱再吃蜂蜜會引致痰多而封喉。另外1歲以下嬰兒亦不宜吃蜂蜜，因為消化系統尚未成熟，以免出現不良反應甚至中毒。

問3：蜂蜜價錢平貴功效上有分別嗎？
答：蜂蜜價錢高低一般取決於「單花蜜」還是「多花蜜」以及花期長短，「單花蜜」的蜜蜂只採一種花製造蜂蜜，如果該種花花期短的話，價格就會偏高。「多花蜜」又稱百花蜜，蜜蜂採集多種花蜜而成，價錢相對便宜。如果蜂蜜來自荔枝、山楂、枸杞等花種，蜂蜜會偏溫性；如果採自菊花、枇杷等花種，蜂蜜便會偏涼性。

問4：蜂蜜怎樣食用最好？
答：直接食用最好，尤其顏色較深色的蜂蜜，比淺色蜂蜜蘊含更多礦物質，食療價值較高。不過較深色的蜂蜜味道較濃，除了甜味還會有甘苦味，一般人不易接受，加入暖水沖服是常見食法。

問5：甚麼時間吃蜂蜜最好？
答：蜂蜜有潤腸作用，早上吃比較好。

問6：聽說蜂蜜怕鐵器，為甚麼？
答：因為蜂蜜裡含酸性物質，當與金屬接觸後蜂蜜就容易變質，所以不宜用金屬器皿及匙羹存取。

問7：已開封的蜂蜜需要放入雪櫃嗎？
答：純正蜂蜜本身是天然防腐劑，將瓶蓋栓緊，儲存在乾爽陰涼地方，一般來說不容易變質，但也要注意最佳食物用日期。

問8：蜂蜜可以煮食嗎？
答：可以的，但要注意溫度，因為高溫會破壞蜂蜜的營養成份，亦會令味道變酸。建議可以用攝氏60度以下的溫水沖泡，入饌時可以先關火，起鍋前才加入蜂蜜拌勻。

【水果百科】有說阿當夏娃吃的禁果不是蘋果而是無花果

#無花果樹有果無花
#其實一絲一絲果肉就是它的花
#星期三CheckCheckMail

無花果潤燥三步曲
小龍女：「上次聽EC說身體偏寒的人不適合多吃梨，那麼無花果可以嗎？新鮮還是曬乾的比較好？」

CheckCheckCin：中醫典籍《本草綱目》記載：「無花果味甘平，無毒，治五痔、利咽喉、消腫痛、解瘡毒」，老年人、嬰兒、孕婦都適合。有潤肺健脾開胃、潤腸通便、清熱解毒功效。一天吃2-3個，對痔瘡便血、老年、孕婦便秘有明顯療效。其滋陰潤燥作用很適合秋天食用，另外孕婦特別容易患上痔瘡，食之可以預防。無花果更可以幫助催乳，對哺乳媽媽來說可以是多一個方法應付乳汁不足！ 要注意其糖份含量較高，糖尿病患者慎吃。新鮮和乾品功效相若，兩種都可以直接吃，乾品更可用來泡茶和煲湯。

一。新鮮吃
如何得知無花果熟透適合食用？看看它的底部，有輕微裂開就是時候吃了。洗淨後切去硬硬的蒂頭，全顆連皮都可以吃，用刀切開或者直接用手掰開亦可。無花果中心部份比較乾，可以將兩邊果肉互相搓揉，令濕潤度更均勻。直接當水果食用，或者加入冷盤沙律甚至三文治中亦可。

二。做零食
新鮮無花果容易腐爛，製成乾果可方便保存，無花果乾清甜而口感煙韌，非常適合用來做零食，配搭一些無油烘焗的果仁，就成為一份甚有營養的下午茶。但由於無花果乾已將果糖濃縮，所以每日吃兩至三枚就好了，以免吸收過多糖份。

三。沖果茶
無花果甜度高，加入熱水沖泡即成香甜果茶，秋天天氣乾燥，可以加入梨乾一同沖泡。如果你的工作需要經常對著電腦，不妨多加數顆枸杞子，有清肝明目功效。

無花果梨乾茶
功效：養陰潤燥，潤澤肌膚
材料：無花果乾（切開）1-2枚、梨乾2-3片、杞子6枚、 蜂蜜適量
做法：乾材料放入保溫瓶，以熱開水沖洗一遍，再加入熱開水焗20分鐘至香味透出，放涼後加入蜂蜜調味即可。此茶可反覆沖泡至味淡。
備註：天氣乾燥可以一星期飲用三至四次。
