【吾通吾識】保住個腎好重要 食水果都幫到你

1. 荔枝
現正是荔枝上市的季節,它含豐富的果膠,葡萄糖,鈣,鐵,胡蘿蔔素,各種維生素和粗纖維等成份,是男人補腎必吃的水果之一。而它亦有健身養顏的功效。除了果肉之外,將荔枝核打碎後加水煎,堅持服用也能起到補腎效果。

2. 葡萄
葡萄營養豐富,具有抗衰老,促進消化,防癌,滋補等多種功效,多吃葡萄可幫助恢復自由基,對恢復女性的身體健康具有很大的幫助。如有前列腺,或者小便短赤的問題,可用新鮮的去皮葡萄,弄爛後加開水每日飲用,就可起到很好的治療效果。

3. 桑葚
又稱桑果或桑棗,生吃或煮熟吃都有很好的補肝和益腎等作用。此外,它亦能提高人體免疫力,所以可適當的多吃一點。據說桑葚是皇室御用補品,中醫亦稱它為藥食兼用的滋補中藥,在民間更有「男人果」的美稱。

4. 奇異果
奇異果含有清促進素,可幫助穩定情緒和安神。它亦有豐富的膳食纖維,對美容,促進心臟健康和排便等都有幫助。把它整個弄碎,用溫開水送服,還可輔助治療男人的前列腺炎和補腎氣。

其實補腎不止是男人的事,如果女性腎虛,同樣會對身體產生很大影響,所以不管男女,平時除了要多吃這些補腎的水果外,還要堅持做有氧運動,多休息和注意均衡飲食,這樣才能促進身體健康。

Grapefruit has a high volume of compounds called furanocoumarins, which are designed to protect the fruit from fungal infections. When you ingest grapefruit, those furanocoumarins permanently take your cytochrome P450 enzymes offline. There’s no coming back. Grapefruit is powerful, and those cytochromes are donezo. So the body, when it encounters grapefruit, basically sighs, throws up its hands, and starts producing entirely new sets of cytochrome P450s. This can take over 12 hours. - https://www.atlasobscura.com[..]grapefruit-history-and-drug-interactions

It’s possible to divide the world in two: the part that venerates the humble-seeming fruit known as the date, and the part that does not. The part that does is home to hundreds of millions of people, from the Atlantic coast of Morocco across North Africa and Egypt to Mesopotamia and east to India. In this part of the world there aren’t really “dates,” because only a philistine would speak in such generalizations. There’s the plump sugar-bomb medjool, the chewy khalas beloved of Emirati connoisseurs, sweet and sticky Saudi sukkary, tart yellow barhi peeled and eaten fresh, the varieties picked early, called rutab, and served frozen with coffee at the upscale cafés of Riyadh or Abu Dhabi. There’s ajwa from Medina, said to be the favorite of the Prophet, the dark Persian kimia, the translucent deglet noor, and many others with evocative names like halawi or Sagai VIP. - https://www.smithsonianmag.com[..]sweet-sticky-history-the-date-180980983/

heat


In Mediterranean climates, surviving extreme heat can be as simple as opening the windows at night to let in cool air and drawing the shades when the sun hits the window during the day. - https://www.dw.com[..]ions/a-62316262?utm_source=pocket_mylist

Keeping out of the sun between 11am to 3pm – usually the hottest parts of the day – either by staying indoors or in a shaded area, is an obvious step. It is also important to drink plenty of liquid, including hot and cold drinks (unless it is very humid, in which case hot drinks aren't the best idea). But it's best to avoid drinking lots of alcohol, although a beer or two may still help to hydrate you. - https://www.bbc.com[..]m-science-for-staying-cool-in-a-heatwave

The 12 steps to cure e-mail addiction
  1. Admit that e-mail is managing you. Let go of your need to check e-mail every ten minutes.
  2. Commit to keeping your inbox empty.
  3. Create files where you can put inbox material that needs to be acted on.
  4. Make broad headings for your filing system so that you have to spend less time looking for filed material.
  5. Deal immediately with any e-mail that can be handled in two minutes or less but create a file for mails that will take longer.
  6. Set a target date to empty your in box. Don't spend more than an hour at a time doing it.
  7. Turn off automatic send/receive.
  8. Establish regular times to review your e-mail.
  9. Involve others in conquering your addiction.
  10. Reduce the amount of e-mail you receive.
  11. Save time by using only one subject per e-mail; delete extra comments from forwarded e-mail, and make the subject line detailed.
  12. Celebrate taking a new approach to e-mail.
