Getting sore throat all the time during summer?
“I have not had any deep fried foods lately, but my throat hurts all the time. Is this a common issue during summer?”
CheckCheckCin: Despite having normal diets, we might still end up with excessive heat when exposed to the hot summer weather.
The condition might get worse when we stay up late, consume alcohol, eat junk food, feel stressed, have lack of rest, and are exposed to the scorching sun. Heat-related symptoms such as sore throat, dry mouth, bad oral odor, hard stools, and even fever might develop.
We can consume fruits that are slightly cool in nature. For instance, dragon fruit and watermelon. We can also have apples, which is mild in nature. Drinking herbal teas such as corn silk tea, sour plum soup, and juice made from bamboo cane, cogongrass, and red carrot can also clear heat.
Avoid hotpot, barbecue, deep fried and greasy foods, or any foods that are warm in nature. If the condition persists, consult registered and licensed Chinese physicians.
Sugar cane water with carrot and chine
Effects: clears heat, dispels dampness and strengthens the spleen. Suitable for those with heat-related symptoms such as odorous breath, pimple on the scalp, sore throat, and canker sores.
Ingredients: 2 carrots, 4 sugar canes, 300g chine, 30g coix seed

【產後調理】你知道坐月該吃甚麼嗎?
⭐很多人誤以為要一直補
⭐補過頭上火便秘又增磅
#星期一踢走BlueMonday
坐月常識Q&A - 飲食篇
Q:坐月食療目的是補身嗎?
A:不是每天進食大量滋補湯水就叫坐好個月,中醫理論認為產婦於坐月期間需按個別體質情況調養,尤其補身前要先健脾胃,因為脾胃功能好才能吸收食材中的營養,有助母乳生成及身體復原,盲目進補只會加重脾胃負擔,補過頭不但容易增磅,亦容易令體質上火,出現便秘、口乾舌燥等症狀。
Q:坐月該吃甚麼?
A:坐月宜多吃多餐,一日五至六餐最適宜,進食清淡而富營養的食物,宜選屬性平和的食材,以蒸、煮、燉、燜為主,讓脾胃更容易吸收,避免生冷及屬性寒涼飲食,可按體質適量於餐單加添補氣血食材如陳皮、沙參、玉竹、黨參、太子參等,並且飲用有健脾胃功效的湯水。
Q:坐月為甚麼要喝炒米茶/炒米水?
A:喝米水是中醫的傳統智慧,以紅米、白米、薏米調配而成的米水能健脾胃,有助身體復原,而炒米水健脾胃之餘也能暖胃袪寒。產婦產後即可飲用炒米水,先不用添加紅棗、陳皮或其他藥材,以免太熱氣。如身體有偏熱症狀如有痔瘡、口瘡、盜汗、喉嚨痛等則宜飲屬性平和的米水 。哺乳媽媽尤其需要水分才會有足夠的母乳,所以每天宜多喝暖水及米水。
Q:坐月期間水腫了,是否因為喝太多湯水?
A:產後出現水腫症狀如腳跟忽然腫脹多因產時失血過多,正氣耗損,加上脾胃虛弱而致,水濕滯留不去而產生,主要表現為面色偏黃,面目手足或四肢浮腫,可飲用有茯苓、陳皮、扁豆衣的水腫腫茶、紅豆米水紓緩症狀。
Q:薑醋除了派給親友,產婦可以吃嗎?
A:中醫理論認為「產後體質多虛多瘀」,薑醋有袪風散寒、活血袪瘀的功效,自然分娩產婦可於十二朝後開始進食,而剖腹產婦宜於產後20至30日,待惡露排清後進食。要注意薑醋適合虛寒體質的產婦食用,體質偏熱的產婦則少吃為妙,可以喝一兩口醋而不吃薑。

Confinement Month Q&A – F&B edition
Q:Are confinement meals meant to nourish the body?
A: An effective postnatal care is not just about nourishing the body. Chinese Medicine theories believe that women need to customize confinement plans based on their body conditions.
Before nourishing the body, it is important to strengthen the spleen and stomach first. A good spleen and stomach can only absorb the nutrients from the confinement meals and help moms boost milk production and recuperate faster.
Consuming nourishing ingredients without understanding their needs would only add on to the burden of the spleen and stomach. An over-nourished person would not only gain weight more easily but also cause heat to accumulate in the body, accompanying symptoms include constipation and dry mouth and tongue.
Q:What should we eat during confinement?
A: It is best to eat more meals. Five to six meals a day would be ideal. Eat light foods that are rich in nutrients, but do opt for ingredients that are mild in nature.
The best ways to prepare each meal are steaming, cooking, stewing, and simmering, as the spleen and stomach can better absorb the nutrients from the ingredients.
Avoid raw and cold foods as well as those that are cool in nature. According to the individual’s body constitution, add ingredients that can nourish qi and blood, such as dried citrus peel, glehnia root, polygonatum odoratum, codonopsis root, and pseudostellaria heterophylla root. Having soups that can strengthen the spleen and stomach is also good for mothers during confinement.
Q:Why should mothers during confinement drink fried rice tea/fried rice water?
A: The practice of drinking rice water comes from the wisdom of Chinese Medicine. Rice water made from red rice, white rice, and coix seed can strengthen the spleen and stomach and help the body recuperate faster.
Likewise, fried rice water can also strengthen the spleen and stomach. It can even warm the stomach and dispel cold from the body. Women who have just given birth can drink fried rice water immediately.
For those with heat-related symptoms such as hemorrhoid, canker sores, night sweats, and sore throat, it is best to drink rice water that is mild in nature. Mothers who breastfeed need to regularly hydrate the body to ensure constant milk production. Hence, it is best to drink more warm water and rice water daily.
Q:Does drinking soup cause edema during confinement?
A: Symptoms such as swelling on the ankles after delivering are due to excessive blood loss during childbirth. When the qi in the body is damaged and the spleen and stomach weaken, dampness can more easily stagnate in the body.
Other related symptoms include yellowish complexion and the swelling of the face, eyes, and limbs. You can drink herbal teas that contain poria, dried orange peel, and hyacinth bean coat to get rid of water retention. Red bean rice water could also relieve the symptoms.
Q:Besides giving ginger vinegar to friends and family members, can new mothers consume them?
A: Ginger vinegar can dispel wind and cold from the body and at the same time, invigorate the blood and clear blood stasis in the body. Likewise, Chinese Medicine believes that a woman’s body experience deficiency and blood stasis after childbirth.
Hence, new mothers who have gone through natural birth can start taking ginger vinegar after twelve days, whereas those opted for C-section can consume it after 20 to 30 days (or after the lochia discharge has ceased).
Ginger vinegar is suitable for new mothers with a cold body constitution, so individuals with a heaty body should avoid consuming it excessively. It is fine to take a sip of the vinegar but avoid eating the ginger.
