【 tsheknutrition ╳ yengcheee 】 👋🏻 I a-🍑-iate you ! With gratitude, people acknowledge the good in their lives 🙏🏾 & usually recognise that the source lies partially outside themselves. As a result, gratitude helps us connect to something greater than ourselves, for example to others, nature, or a even higher power 🌈. In psychology research, gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness💫✨. Practising gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions🥳, relish good experiences🙌🏻, improve their health💪🏽, deal with adversity🤗, and build strong relationships👯‍♀️. Tag someone you are grapeful for today (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) ♡! #mondaypunday #gratitude #nutritionforthesoul
【營養師Q&A】東西方的「飲湯養生」？ Q：湯水是中外最流行的養生法🍲？ （T：註冊營養師Tiffany Shek，C：註冊中醫師Cinci EC） T：說起飲湯，大家多數會想起中式養生湯水，其實飲湯近年在西方同樣盛行，尤其是Souping。這是一種近年外國流行的節食減肥法，數日的療程中只飲湯作排毒之用。此療程標榜的跟蔬果汁排毒減肥法不同，關鍵在於西湯多含有原材料的膳食纖維，因此飽肚感會比起除去纖維的果汁高。膳食纖維亦容許較慢的營養吸收及血糖升高。 但要注意Souping 跟我們一般喝養生湯不同之處在於它們的用處。喝養生湯目的不是減肥，是作保健的用途，所以我們在喝湯之餘也應照常進食。我也不建議盲目Souping，忽略整體飲食。 另外，一般人會以為營養精華是在湯水中，喝了湯水就算，但其實從營養學角度來說，養生湯中含有最高營養價值的成分其實是湯渣！譬如肉湯，就算煮多久，大部分的蛋白質還是留在肉中，所以如果想攝取足夠蛋白質就要湯連渣一起飲用，才為之有益。 C： 一碗看似簡單的湯水，蘊含中醫學源遠流長的養生妙方，也體現了烹調者對身邊人的關心！只要根據體質，配搭得宜，一碗美味的湯水就可以簡易調理身體。很多人對湯水的認知仍然留在「補湯」，覺得湯水要夠溫補才可養生。其實不然，只要適合個人體質，食材新鮮，一碗平和的湯水已經可滋養身心。對比起有病吃藥，中醫更講求的是未病先防，最重要是改善飲食及生活習慣，而根據體質去飲湯是一個簡單便捷的飲食補健方法，改善常見的都市小症狀，強身防病。 Is drinking soup becoming a means to healthy living in both East and West worlds? ( T: Tiffany Shek, Registered Dietitian, C: Cinci EC, Registered Chinese Medicine Practitioner) T: When talking about drinking soup, many people will think of Chinese herbal soup. Actually, “souping” has become a popular weight loss method in western countries in recent years, wherein only soup is consumed for a few days for “detox” purposes. This diet is different from “juice cleanse” as soup retains dietary fiber of ingredients, which in turn increases satiety. Other benefits of including fibre are slower nutrient absorption and elevation of blood sugar. But remember “souping” is different from drinking Chinese herbal soup as they serve different purposes. Having herbal soup is to enhance one’s wellbeing but not for weight loss per se. A balanced diet is recommended in addition to consumption of Chinese herbal soup. Prolonged “souping” is not recommended, as it may lack certain certain essential nutrients obtainable from a balanced diet. Also, most people think that the liquid in soup contains all the nutritional essence thus that is all they consume. But from a nutritional perspective, the actual ingredients in the soup contain the highest nutritional value. Take meat-based soup for example, most protein remains within the meat, even after prolonged cooking. Therefore, for adequate protein intake, soup ingredients should be consumed along with the soup.

【 tsheknutrition ╳ yengcheee 】 Good morning world ♥️ Mothers’ Day is around the corner - here’s our #foodpun for all mothers out there, we appreciate you 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️! Tag a mama bear to show your appreciation for their unconditional love and care 🐻💕 ¨̮ ¨̮ ¨̮ ❓Raisins or grapes 🍇 - which is healthier? 💁🏻‍♀️ Main difference is the water content. Opt for fresh fruits when possible, as drying the fruit concentrates the calories and may cause some nutrient loss. Having fresh fruit is more filling, the more variety the better 🌈 ! Dried fruits can be quite handy to store / carry around, so choose those without additives or added sugar - always read the food label 🕵🏻‍♀️🕵🏻‍♂️. Half a cup of dried fruit counts as 1 cup of fresh✨ Happy #MondayPunday and Happy Mothers’ Day in advance 💕! #mothersday #love #nutrition
【 tsheknutrition ╳ yengcheee 】 𝒾 𝓎𝒶𝓂 𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓎 𝓈𝓌𝑒𝑒𝓉 . Just had me some yellow yams from @manafastslowfood along with my favourite 𝒸𝓁𝒶𝓈𝓈𝒾𝒸 𝒷𝓊𝓇𝑔𝑒𝓇 & kale salad 🥗 mm mm mmm! 💡Did you know that sweet potatoes are commonly mistaken as yams? In fact, yam is 「山藥」 in Cantonese, rather than 「蕃薯」 ❓🍠 or 🥔 - which is healthier? Both are tubers and carbohydrate rich. If your main focus is optimal intake of vitamin A then sweet potatoes is your choice. For overall nutrition, it’s a tie! Happy Thursday everyone 💛 #dietitian #foodforthought #puns
