為什麼我吃的素食是「全食物蔬食」,而不只是純素食而已呢?
首先,「全食物蔬食」(WFPB)指的是完整、未經加工的食物,也就是從土裡長出來的真食物:蔬菜、水果、全穀物、種子、堅果等。
我14年前由葷轉蛋奶素、11年前由蛋奶素轉純素,3年多前又開始吃全食物,主要有兩個原因:一,在營養學組織NutritionFacts.org工作,每天看各種有關全食物蔬食對健康益處的影片,很難不身體力行。二,其實我天生就不喜歡吃太過沈重、油膩、鹹或甜的食物,吃下去是一種很不好的體驗。
那我是無時無刻都這樣嗎?當然不了。😛 我家裡沒有油、糖或鹽,也不會買精緻穀物,所以在家做飯的時候確實是百分之百實踐全食物蔬食。要是外食,我還是不會吃炸物,也盡量避免白米、白麵條這類的,但對油、糖或鹽就沒有這麼挑惕了。要是很想吃個vegan甜甜圈或起司蛋糕時,我也不會克制自己。重點不是要時時刻刻完美,而是讓健康飲食成為習慣,然後盡力就行了。
每個人吃素的原因都不一樣。我14年前剛開始的時候,一點也不在意健康,甚至還覺得很驕傲(「看,我只在意動物,多高貴的理由」)。不過因為我總是希望不斷提升、拓展自我,在吃素吃了十多年後,更進一步吃全食物對我來說是個挺自然的選擇。吃全食物時,我感覺到自己更有活力,思路更清晰,並且差別最大的,大概就是我的皮膚了(一吃油炸馬上爆痘痘)。同時,看到許多吃素的人因為健康出問題又回去吃肉,但其實他們的問題跟吃素不吃素一點關係都沒有,而是以不健康的加工素食為食、沒有運動習慣,或是沒有正確補充維生素B12(曾經有素食者跟我說她不用補充B12,因為她有一顆對動物的愛心......我只能說我很無語)。
如果把環境也考慮進去的話,全食物是不太需要包裝的,就是蔬菜、水果這些。我平時訂的都是一個紙箱裝滿有機蔬菜直接送上門,連包裝紙袋都沒有,然後下次訂箱子他們再收回去。買堅果則是直接拿罐子到市場去秤重裝。而反觀素漢堡排、素雞塊這類的加工食品,卻幾乎都是購買時就裝在塑膠袋裡的。大自然不是什麼身外之物,我們就是大自然的延伸,我們的健康和地球的健康是息息相關的。要是連自己的健康都不在意,該怎麼守護地球的健康?如果有任何問題,歡迎在底下評論,或是關注NutritionFacts.org的YouTube頻道,影片幾乎都有中文字幕翻譯可以選:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCddn8dUxYdgJz3Qr5mjADtA

Why am I mostly whole food plant-based (and not just vegan)?
First of all, “whole food plant-based” (WFPB) refers to foods that are unprocessed. So in other words, real foods that grow from the ground: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seeds, nuts, etc.
I went mostly whole food plant-based three years ago for two reasons: 1) When you work for NutritionFacts.org and watch video after video about the health benefits of a WFPB diet, it’s hard not to walk the talk. 2) My body naturally doesn’t like foods that are too heavy, oily, salty, or sweet. It just doesn’t feel good to consume those foods.
Do I do it 100% all the time? Of course not! 😛 I don’t have oil, salt or sugar at home, and I don’t buy any refined grains. So when I cook at home, I’m 100% WFPB & SOS-free. But when I eat out, I’m more flexible with SOS. I still wouldn’t eat deep-fried foods even when I eat out, and avoid white rice or white noodles as much as I can. But when I crave a vegan donut or cheesecake, I also won’t stop myself. The point is not to do it perfectly all the time, but to make it a habit to eat healthy and just do the best you can.
People go vegan for different reasons. I didn’t care about health when I first started my vegetarian/vegan journey 14 years ago, and I was even proud of it. But I always strive to expand myself, so going WFPB seemed like a natural next step. When I eat clean, I see the difference in my level of energy, cognitive function, and most notably - my skin. I also think it’s a pity to see people who went vegan reverse back to eating meat because they encountered health issues that have nothing to do with being vegan or not, but are actually about eating healthy/real foods vs. processed junk, not supplementing correctly (B12, for example), or not maintaining an active lifestyle.
Taking the environment into consideration, unprocessed fruits and vegetables also don’t require much packaging, unlike vegan patties or nuggets that usually come wrapped in plastic. Nature is not something outside of us - we are nature, and our health is interconnected with the health of the planet. So feel free to reach out if you have any questions, or even better, follow NutritionFacts.org ❤️

中大醫學院向大家作出緊急呼籲,支持我們2000年的醫科畢業生張俊傑醫生,拯救他只有17個月大的兒子張可仁的性命。
可仁早於出生第4天時已被診斷罹患一種罕有心臟病「主動脈狹窄」(Coarctation of Aorta),需要接受緊急手術。極之不幸的是,可仁最近再被確診患上「第四期神經母腫瘤」(Stage IV Neuroblastoma),目前可仁的頭骨至腰椎和盆骨均受到癌細胞擴散,脊髓神經線受到癌細胞壓住,痛楚非常,並有癱瘓的危機,癌細胞更正轉移至骨髓。
可仁現時正住在威爾斯親王醫院兒童癌症中心隔離病房,極容易受到感染。他已開始接受化療,而治療方案將包括化療、手術、放射治療、骨髓移植、免疫治療,治療時間約一年至一年半。他完成化療、手術和放射治療後,會進行骨髓移植,之後需要免疫療法,這可大大提高存活率,由20%升至50%。
然而,免疫治療需要病人自費,所需費用高達港幣200萬元。張醫生另一兒子患有自閉症,太太辭掉小學主任一職,全職照顧兩位小朋友,並要照顧父母親,經濟上未能承擔高昂的醫療費用。
中大醫學院2000年畢業同學會發起是次籌款,目的包括:
1. 為可仁進行骨髓移植後的免疫治療;
2. 引發社會人士及政府對兒童罕有癌症治療的關注。

【Fundraising Campaign Completed on 3 December 2018】According to CUHK Alumni Charity Foundation, the fundraising campaign for Mark CHEUNG Ho Yan has completed. The fund raised will be used to support the immunotherapy of Mark and 6 other patients who are suffered from the same disease. Thank you for all your kind-hearted support and generosity.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2018/11/22)
This is an urgent appeal for your generosity to save the life of the 17-month-old son of Dr. CHEUNG Chun Kit, our medical alumnus of Class 2000.
Dr. Cheung Chun Kit is a CUHK medical graduate of Year 2000. His younger son, Cheung Ho Yan Mark, has recently been diagnosed to have Stage IV Neuroblastoma in November 2018, and is in an emergency need of donation to provide the necessary funding to support the life-saving yet expensive immunotherapy.
Mark was presented to his paediatrician for fever and cough in late October 2018. His cough resolved with treatment but his fever never completely went away. Two days prior to his diagnosis, Mark was more clingy than usual and did not like to walk. On a video clip, Mark was noted to have foot drop, a very significant red flag which may indicate a compression on the spinal cord. Emergency scans were immediately performed that night, and Mark was found to have a large tumour on the left side of his abdomen. The aggressive tumour had already spread silently to the back of his skull, his spine, his hips and had compressed his nerves which control his lower limbs, resulting in pain on standing and difficulty in walking. Mark is facing an imminent risk of paralysis.
Mark is diagnosed to have a rare childhood cancer which is called Stage IV neuroblastoma, a cancer which typically presents at late stage because it arises deep in the abdomen. To cure his aggressive cancer, Mark needs to survive through rounds of intensive chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, bone marrow transplant, and finally, immunotherapy. The whole treatment duration lasts 1.5 to 2 years. To completely eradicate all cancer cells, immunotherapy will be needed to boost Mark’s survival from 20% to 50%. However, immunotherapy is a self-financed treatment in the public hospital and the treatment costs could be up to 2 million.
Such close encounter with death is not the first time for Mark. At the first week of life, Mark was diagnosed to have a rare heart problem called “Coarctation of Aorta”. Mark had received life-saving surgery to reestablish the blood flow across his aorta, the major blood vessel that allows blood to go from the heart to the brain and the rest of the body. In a report published in 2002, only 67 cases with dual heart condition and neuroblastoma were reported, giving an odd of 1 in 100 million for a child to be hit by these two rare diseases. Scientists have not yet completely understood the mechanisms that may cause the two conditions to appear in a single child.
It never rains but pours that Mark’s elder brother, now 5 years old, was diagnosed to have autism at around age 2. To enable the elder brother to have intensive training to improve his outcome and development, Mark’s mommy quit her job as a primary school teacher since the diagnosis of autism was made for his elder brother. Dr. Cheung, who is a medical doctor for the elderly, became the sole bread-winner of his family.
CUHK Medical Graduates of Year 2000 have initiated a fund-raising campaign for Mark and his family with the following two objectives:
1. To appeal for donation to support the costs of immunotherapy for Mark
2. To increase the public awareness on the grave needs of children with cancers

NO SERIOUS INJURIES...
Both rider and passenger were able to walk.
The riders went to hospital for a check up anyway.
I don't think this couple will be together after this.
That's why the music is called "You can forget about me"
Chinese Analysis is in the first pinned comment.
沒有骨折或嚴重受傷的情況...
但是車手們還是去醫院做了檢查。
我認為這對夫婦以後不會在一起。
這就是為什麼音樂被稱為“你可以忘記我”
