𓏫 𓏫 🦀 𓏫 𓏫 🦀 Hairy crab meat is actually an excellent source of protein💪🏾. After undressing the crab you will obtain around 100g meat per crab, providing you ~14g of protein, with negligible amounts of fat. Talk about lean meat! Crab is a good choice. . 🦀 What about cholesterol? The buttery goodness from the crab roe is high in cholesterol, however, dietary cholesterol is not the main cause of increased blood LDL-cholesterol levels (bad cholesterol). it is actually trans fat from deep friend foods 🍟 and saturated fat mostly from animal origin 🐮🐷 and of course the infamous coconut oil 🥥. . 🦀 How many should I have each time? 1-2 crabs per meal tops. This will be sufficient protein intake for the meal. Organise a crab feast at home so you can choose to steam them crabs, an oil-free cooking method! Prepare some green leafy veggies on side 🥬, grilled tomatoes 🍅 or a salad 🥗 for a balanced meal. . Enjoy the hairy crab season 🦀!

【營養師Q&A】人人都說要吃Superfood  Q：「超級食物」就一定好？ （T：註冊營養師 Tiffany Shek，C：註冊中醫師Cinci EC）  T：目前為止， Superfood「超級食物」一詞並沒有科學定義，但坊間一般用來形容含豐富營養素的天然食材，是讓人更容易達到我們每天所需要各種營養的食物 （想知道我們一天應該吃到的那種營養及份量，可以參考膳食營養素參考攝入量－ Dietary Reference Intakes）。常常被視為「超級食物」的食物包括奇亞籽、藜麥、杞子、羽衣甘藍等。  由於「超級食物」既沒有科學或法例上的定義，任何健康食品店或食肆都可以將其產稱為「超級食物」，為求增加消費者的購買慾，這種推動銷售量的手段其實有機會對消費健康帶來影響。例如被眾多零售店標榜為「超級食物」的椰子油，是一種含高飽和脂肪量的食用油。研究指出食用過多飽和脂肪會增加低密度脂蛋白膽固醇水平，而這些「壞」膽固醇會增加心血管疾病及中風的風險，因此被標榜為Superfood「超級食物」的食物並不一定就是好。  其實食物不應該被輕易標籤為好或不好、「超級」或「普通」。實踐均衡飲食，進食不同種類的食物、不同顏色的蔬果 – 這才是真正的Super Diet！單單食用「超級食物」其實並不能達到一天所需的營養。  C：中醫理論還是認為食材屬性及功效要與體質相配合才能有效養生，否則吃再多也無濟於事，甚至弄巧反拙。 一般而言，會建議適量食用屬性平和、適合任何體質人士食用的食材，例如米飯、紅蘿蔔、粟米、薯仔、豬肉等。  就如薑黃，不少人歌頌為「超級食物」，有消炎及增強抵抗力的功效，中醫理論中則屬性溫，有行氣活血之效，過量食用容易令身體出現偏熱症狀如口瘡、便秘、暗瘡及咽喉痛，尤其是本身屬偏熱體質的人，更是不宜，所以說「超級食物」也不代表可以經常食用。又如紅菜頭，不少女性都誤以為進食這種紅色食材能補血氣，其實不然，紅菜頭具活血的功效，本身氣血虛弱的人吃多了，反而會耗損氣血，有可能出現頭暈症狀。不少人聽聞花膠補身及養顏，常常食用反而令身體積濕及消化不良的症狀。因此食物好不好，不應一概而論，更是要配合體質，多了解自己身體的狀況、食物的屬性和功效，才為之好的飲食，強身防病。  Are all superfoods good? (T: Tiffany Shek, Registered Dietitian, C: Cinci EC, Registered Chinese Medicine Practitioner)  T: The term "superfood" is generally used to label a food item that is rich in certain nutrients (even when small amounts are consumed). However, there is currently no scientific consensus as to what a "superfood" is. Items routinely regarded as a "superfood" include chia seeds, quinoa, goji berries and kale.   The lack of consensus on what “superfood” is allows one to label any food or product with the label of "superfood", especially in stores or restaurants for marketing purposes. Such sales strategy may be misleading to consumers. For example, coconut oil is often labelled as a "superfood" across retail stores, however it is high in saturated fat, which is associated to increase LDL-cholesterol levels subsequently increasing risk in cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Therefore, consumers ought to be cautious about food described as “superfood”. At the end of the day there is no “good” or “bad”food, one should focus on his/her whole diet. (to be con’t in comment)

Aquathon at Gold Coast was a great Sunday spent 🏝 ! The atmosphere was great 🎶 & the best part was seeing kids as young as 8 years old managing an open water swim of 250m and immediately transitioning to a 2km run 🏊🏾‍♂️ 🏃🏾‍♀️ . They were so cute but their competition felt way more thrilling than us adults’ 😆. I did the shorter distance as I’m recovering from my stress fracture in femoral neck, which was (250m swim +2km run) x 2 but man... it was tough🤮!!! I stopped midway during my second swim and started doing breast stroke as I felt like all my internal organs are churning into mud 💩 but I continued because the longer I take, the later I will finish 😂. So that kept me going basically🤣! I ended up second in my age group! I’m very glad I didn’t give up. Thank you to the Wan family for always guiding and supporting me! Wan kids are so cute + lek lek ¨̮ Looking forward to the next local event! I need to stay motivated too🤙🏾! #trihk #triathlete
