Eat Healthier in Hong Kong: What should a Balanced Diet Contain | 香港食得更健康：健康飲食包含啲咩

Written by Thomas 撰寫人 Thomas

Everyone’s talking about eating a healthy diet these days, but what exact is one you may ask. There are just so many health perks and gurus on the internet talking about nutritions and you may wonder which of them is correct. Wait no more and in this blog we will talk about the basics of a healthy diet and in future weeks we will start diving into specific diets that people may get into.

宜家人人都話要食健康啲，上網又有咁多資訊， 其實點算叫得上係均衡飲食呢？所以今次我地會睇下醫生建議我地食幾多先啱。

CornerStone of a Healthy Diet | 健康飲食的基石

“This means eating a wide variety of foods in the right proportions, and consuming the right amount of food and drink to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight.” - NHS

Doesn’t sound that hard in theory, but in the lives of a modern human, it can get hard from time to time.

NHS 個網站都有略略講到健康飲食的準則，但香港人平時的生活模式會比較難跟隨到，所以下面會有啲健康飲食指南！

Components of a Healthy Diet | 健康飲食的內容

Online articles often tell you to have at least *** grams of vegetables a day, but what’s the chance you have a balance lying around each time you eat. For the sake of simplicity, we use your hand as a measurement.

Components:

• 3 clenched fists of cooked vegetables/ day

• 2 clenched fists of fruits/ day

• At most a palm of red meat/ week

• At least 2 fish/ week

• Limit the amount of oil, sodium and sugar intake

• Limit or eliminate the intake of alcohol or other substances

It’s similar to what you’d have on a food pyramid, and please always consult your doctor or dietitian if you have concerns about your diet.

有時網上會寫一日要食 *** 克的菜，但實際上有幾多呢，我地可以用一隻手黎解答到。

內容：

• 煮熟了的菜：一日三個拳頭大小

• 生果：一日兩個拳頭大小

• 紅肉：最多一星期一個手板大小

• 魚：最小一星期兩條

• 減少油鹽糖

• 減少或不飲酒

大致上健康飲食的內容都同食物金字塔相約，但如果你對自已的飲食有更多疑問，可向你的家庭醫生或營養再作查詢。

Advised Cooking Method | 健康煮食方法

It is a crucial step where a healthy diet would go to waste if it’s been cooked wrongly. Use low fat cooking methods such as baking, roasting, steaming, boiling, or stir-frying. It is also important to use less seasoning for your food, and use more natural spices like herbs to stimulate your tongues.

點樣煮都對自身健康造成很大的影響，所以都建議使用低油方法煮食，例如焗，烤，蒸，烹煮等等。此外，所使用的調味料都很大影響，所以盡量使用天然香料以取代油鹽糖。

Dietary Advice | 飲食建議

Here comes FOODBOX, we understand the struggles to maintain a healthy diet in Hong Kong with all the fast food available just down the street. Therefore, we have a menu we would like to recommend.

見到咁多長期病都可以因健康飲食而減輕及解決，FOODBOX 都希望可以為大家提供一些方便又快捷的餐單為你減輕諗個一部份。

PUMPKIN SALAD | 南瓜沙律 (VEGETARIAN)

Mesclun mix, roasted pumpkin, white beans, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onions, sliced roasted almonds.

Calories (cal): 256, Protein (g): 15, Protein (g): 9. Fat (g): 9, Carbohydrates (g): 36, Fiber (g): 13
Having a balanced diet is important, and for vegertarians who want to gain every nutritious you need, the above pumpkin salad would be a fantastic choice.

食得健康非重要，而對素食者方面，南瓜沙律有齊哂你一日所需要的營養。

Grilled Chicken Salad | 烤雞肉沙律

Mesclun mix, grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, feta cheese, red onions.

Energy (Kcal) 能量 (千卡): 420 | Protein (g) 蛋白質 (克): 56 | Carbs (g) 碳水化合物 (克): 20

Even though eating too much meat is bad, but there is alternatives to red meat. Chicken is a great example of non-red meat, and let’s take the first step in having a healthier lifestyle with it!

大家都知道食得太多紅肉唔好，所以想食肉的話都可以選擇雞肉。

Eat Healthier in Hong Kong: What is Peptic Ulcer Disease | 香港食得更健康：什麼是胃潰瘍

Written by Thomas 撰寫人 Thomas

Once an untreatable disease in ancient times, until recent years a doctor finally discovered the cause and found a cure, the peptic ulcer disease, caused by bacterial infection. It is typically a condition in which ulcers develop in the lining of the stomach or the entry part of the small intestine.

Another thing about this disease is that there are quite a lot of misconceptions regarding the cause by eating spicy food and drinking coffee. Studies have shown that it is not the case, on the contrary, eating anything in moderation should be fine.

胃潰瘍曾經係一款醫治不了的疾病，令到以往不小人胃痛問題解決不了。但近年因有醫生極力研究先有突破，亦成功研制到藥物醫治。但其實個話雖然叫做胃潰瘍，但其實落小小到一開始的十二指腸都有潰瘍的機會。

另外，以往坊間不小人都認為胃潰瘍係因為食得太多辣嘢或者成日飲咖啡導致，但其實近期都有研究指出兩者並沒有關係，只要飲得同食得適當就可以。

Risk Factor | 風險

Frequent use of NSAIDs, Family history, Alcohol consumption, Smoking

經常性使用非類固醇消炎藥,，家族病史，飲酒，吸煙

Prevention | 預防

Consult your doctor if you’re a frequent user of NSAIDs, Stop drinking, Stop smoking.

如你是經常性使用非類固醇消炎藥，可諮詢你的主診醫生。不吸煙。不飲酒。

Dietary Advice | 飲食建議

Here comes FOODBOX, we understand the struggles to maintain a healthy diet in Hong Kong with all the fast food available just down the street. Therefore, we have a menu we would like to recommend.

見到咁多長期病都可以因健康飲食而減輕及解決，FOODBOX 都希望可以為大家提供一些方便又快捷的餐單為你減輕諗個一部份。

WALDORF SHRIMP SALAD 大蝦鮮果沙津

Mesclun mix, shrimp, cucumbers, candied walnuts, mixed apple salad with red and green apples and lemon mayonnaise.

Calories (cal): 518, Protein (g): 16, Fat (g): 32, Carbohydrate (g): 45, Fiber (g): 10

Even though this disease is not directy related to the cause of peptic ulcer, but it is a fact that when you eat healthier, you get ill less often! Also, eating meat and fatty food is also proven to be a cause of acid reflux, so eating shrimp salad would be a great alternative!

雖然食啲咩同胃潰瘍沒有直接關係，但只要我地食得健康啲，咁我地會患病的機會都會自然下降。而如果食得太多肉或者脂肪都會增加患上胃酸倒流的機會，所以又點解唔知健康啲呢？

PUMPKIN SALAD | 南瓜沙律 (VEGETARIAN)

Mesclun mix, roasted pumpkin, white beans, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onions, sliced roasted almonds.

Calories (cal): 256, Protein (g): 15, Protein (g): 9. Fat (g): 9, Carbohydrates (g): 36, Fiber (g): 13

Eating more fulfilling meal also provides you with the sensation of fullness, which reduce your chances of eating snacks or drinking alcohol, of which alcohol is damaging to the alimentary canal of our bodies.

如果你覺得沙律食唔飽，其實你仲可以試下我地依款南瓜沙律，因為佢比其他沙律會更加飽，減小空閒時間食其他零食的機會，亦都會減低飲酒意欲，都會對腸胃好啲。

Eat Healthier in Hong Kong: What is Acid Reflux | 香港食得更健康：什麼是胃食道逆流？

Written by Thomas 撰寫人 Thomas

Have you ever experienced a burning sensation in your throat after a big meal before? Or when you’ve tasted or smelled something sour after lying down? They might very much be acid reflux. 

The official term for it is actually gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It occurs when stomach acid repeatedly flows back to your throat from the stomach, which the acid within causes damage to your lining, leading to the burning sensation that you might have.

胃酸倒流我諗大家都聽過，但唔知你又會唔會已經試過呢？當你食完餐飯之後喉嚨會有陣火燒的痛感，又或者當你訓低左之後感覺到喉嚨有一陣酸味上緊黎，依啲都係你好大機會有胃酸倒流的機會。

胃食道逆流，普遍又叫胃酸倒流，係當胃酸長期倒流而導致。個啲胃酸亦都會令到你喉嚨的組織受到破壞，導致常見的唔舒服感。

Risk Factors | 風險

Obesity, Pregnancy, Smoking, Eating Large Meals, Drinking alcohol or coffee

過重，懷孕，吸煙，短時間食大量食物，飲酒或咖啡

Prevention | 預防

Reduce weight. Stop smoking. Eat food with less fat. Stop drinking and coffee usage.

過重者減重，戒煙，食用低脂食物，不飲酒或咖啡。

Dietary Advice | 飲食建議

Here comes FOODBOX, we understand the struggles to maintain a healthy diet in Hong Kong with all the fast food available just down the street. Therefore, we have a menu we would like to recommend.

Papaya is fresh, and chicken is not fat, it is a great choice on your first step to keep away from acid reflux. Reflux is mostly caused by overeating as well, so our foodbox have a fixed proportion each time you eat, hence controlling your ingestion as well.

木瓜新鮮，而我地的雞肉又唔肥膩，係一款好適合比有胃酸倒流的人食。除此之外，佢都會因為食得太多野而導致，所以我地的食物都係有固定份量，每一日食都係咁多份量，唔會食得太多。

Eat Healthier in Hong Kong: What is Biliary Disease? | 香港食得更健康：什麼是膽囊疾病？

Written by Thomas 撰寫人 Thomas

Biliary disease is a wildly huge topic including a bunch of organs and structures that is related to our bile. However, this term may not have been heard by most people before, and when an unfortunate victim falls ill with this disease, there will be dire consequences. Nonetheless, there is an easy solution to his disease!

相信應該比較小人會聽過咩叫膽囊疾病，因為佢所包含的疾病都比較多，所以最概括而言依種病係只要身體膽汁上出問題，就會歸入去依款病。講到佢咁恐怖，但其實有一種非常簡單的解決方法。

What is Bile? | 什麼是膽汁？

So, you may ask, what is this bile thing? It is used to help the digestion of fat by breaking apart big oil droplets into smaller ones. The background mechanism is not discussed but to sum up briefly, smaller cubes have a higher surface area to volume ratio than bigger cubes, same apply to oil droplets.

膽汁聽個名都覺得有啲噁心，咁所以佢係咩黎呢？喺身體入面佢有一個重要職責，就係將大大舊我地食落口的脂肪拆做好多細細的油滴。咁做左依個步驟之後就可以幫助消化。

Risk Factors | 風險

Obesity, Fatty diet, Age

過重。高脂飲食。年齡

Prevention | 預防

Convert to a low-fat diet. Regular exercise.

轉換至低脂飲食。運動。

Dietary Advice | 飲食建議

Here comes FOODBOX, we understand the struggles to maintain a healthy diet in Hong Kong with all the fast food available just down the street. Therefore, we have a menu we would like to recommend.

We know that it’d always be hard to switch from your normal diet into a healtheir one, so FOODBOX is here to help you with that. One huge problem with the biliary disease is caused by eating too much fat, and with a replacement to red meat, like shrimp, it can effectively reduce your fat intake.

都知道聽到個病都會嚇一嚇，但其實有一個好簡單的方法可以有效預防到依款病。所以我地 FOODBOX 首先向你介紹一款低脂又好食的沙律。蝦雖然係一款肉黎，但其實佢脂肪含量並唔高，所以可以喺減脂時期成為一款有效的食物。

Eat Healthier in Hong Kong: What is Osteoporosis | 香港食得更健康：什麼是骨質疏鬆症

Written by Thomas 撰寫人 Thomas

Eat more calcium, they say, when you’re young and thriving. It also grows your bones and teeth, it's very good for you. Well, they’re right, because there is osteoporosis in the middle age that you might worry about.

Osteoporosis is when your bones start to get weaker and more fragile, to a stage where a fall could easily break your bones. However, good news to you, any case of osteoporosis develops over a long period of time, so you should still have some time to slow down the deterioration.

食多啲鈣呀，唔係生唔高！我諗好多人細個時候都會比屋企人咁話。咁其實佢地都講得好啱，因為開始老化之後會增加你患上骨質疏鬆的機會。

骨質疏鬆症是當你骨頭變得脆弱，而大部人知道自己患上是因為跌親後骨折先後知後覺。但宜家你知道可以骨質疏鬆的問題，咁可以提早開始預備，減慢骨頭老化的情況。

Risk Factor | 風險

Gender. Age. Sedentary lifestyle. Imbalance diet. Smoking. Consumption of alcohol.

性別。年齡。靜態生活。不均衡飲食。吸煙。飲酒。

Eat Healthier in Hong Kong: What is Rheumatoid Arthritis? | 香港食得更健康：什麼是類風濕性關節炎？

Written by Thomas 撰寫人 Thomas

This week we have our final arthritis called rheumatoid arthritis, it is vastly different from our two previous arthritis. This is an autoimmune disease of which the cells guarding our bodies turned against ourselves and now attacking healthy cells. The healthy cells being within our joints mostly, but also among other cells.

The resulting damage cause inflammation and swelling, hence the pain sensation. When untreated prolongedly, chronic pain and joint deformation may occur.

過去一個星期我地提及到兩款唔到的關節炎，但今日的類風濕性關節炎係比之前更加特別，因為佢係一款自體免疫性疾病。當我地身體的免疫細胞喺不知明情況下開始攻擊自體細胞，而關節炎係因為佢地攻擊的細胞以闗節組織居多。

而當身體細胞受到破壞的時候，會令到嗰個位置發炎同埋有腫脹的情況發生，導致痛楚。

Risk Factor | 風險

Age, Family History, Smoking, Obesity.

年齡，家族病史，吸煙，過重。

Prevention | 預防

Rheumatoid arthritis is a type of heritable disease, or could happen anytime, therefore, there is no effective way of prevention. However, we do have some alleviating factors that could reduce the severity of the disease.

Being physically active. Quit smoking. Reduce weight if obesity.

Eat Healthier in Hong Kong: What is Osteoarthritis | 香港食得更健康：什麼是骨關節炎？

Written by Thomas 撰寫人 Thomas

Last week we saw the first type of arthritis called gouty arthritis and it is mostly caused by the consumption of red meat, seafood, and alcohol. This week we have osteoarthritis, the most common arthritis of all. It is commonly called degenerative arthritis.

When we age, the cartilage on our joints start to wear caused by friction and reduced secretion of lubrication fluid for our cartilage. The prolonged friction between two bones caused the degradation of cartilage, hence osteoarthritis.

上星期的文章我們提及到因過量食用紅肉，海鮮及酒精導致的痛風。今次我們想介紹的是骨關節炎，又叫退化性關節炎，是最常見的關節炎。

當身體老化，於關節之間的軟骨會因摩擦及減小分泌潤滑液而導致軟骨磨損，造成骨關節炎。

Risk Factor | 風險

Previous joint injury and overuse. Age. Obesity.

過往關節傷患，過導使用。年紀。過重。

Prevention | 預防

Osteoarthritis is a disease caused by aging, there is no definitive method of prevention. However, obesity plays a role in worsening the prognosis, so reducing weight may help if one is overweight.

骨關節炎是因年紀身體老化導致的疾病，因此沒有一個有效的預防方法。但如果患者為過重人仕，減重則有機會減慢關節老化的速度。

Dietary Advice | 飲食建議

Here comes FOODBOX, we understand the struggles to maintain a healthy diet in Hong Kong with all the fast food available just down the street. Therefore, we have a menu we would like to recommend.

Eat Healthier in Hong Kong: What is Gouty Arthritis? | 香港食得更健康：什麼是痛風？

Written by Thomas 撰寫人 Thomas

I am sure you’ve heard of it, gouty arthritis affects a large part of the demographic who like drinking beer and eating red meat. However, to be exact, eating a lot of seafood, red meat, and alcoholic beverages are all exacerbating factors in this disease. Its cause is due to the accumulation of uric acid crystals in joints, especially big toes, causing pain from inflammation.

我諗香港有唔小人都聽過痛風，因為現代人多肉多酒的飲食習慣大幅增加了患病的風險。而咁的飲食習慣都會令到我地關節入面積左啲尿酸鹽結晶，導致我地關節發炎，引致痛楚。

Risk Factor | 風險

Overweight. Diabetes. Hypertension. Kidney disease. Eating a lot of red meat and seafood. Drinking alcoholic beverages.

過重。糖尿病。高血壓。腎病。經常食用紅肉及海產。經常飲用酒精飲品。

Prevention | 預防

Limit consumption of high purine food and drinks. Drink plenty of water. Regular exercise. Reduce weight if overweight.

減小食用高嘌呤食物。飲多啲水。多運動。過重人仕減重

Dietary Advice | 飲食建議

Here comes FOODBOX, we understand the struggles to maintain a healthy diet in Hong Kong with all the fast food available just down the street. Therefore, we have a menu we would like to recommend.

Having gouty arthritis is not a small deal, it can be quite painful from time to time, so that’s why we FOODBOX would like to take this journal together with you to prevent such an unfortunate event. And the above salad is a good place to start, to let you explore which types of vegetables fancy you and develop from there.

有痛風真係會好唔舒服架！所以我地都想同你一齊預防依佪病，咁上面款沙律會係一個好開始，可以試下一個素沙律，睇下自己有啲咩配搭鐘意食，之後再試下唔同的配搭。

Eat Healthier in Hong Kong: What is Hypertension? | 香港食得更健康: 什麼是高血壓？

Written by Thomas 撰寫人 Thomas

Hypertension is a prevalent disease that is roaming our population over decades, and in the foreseeable future there is still not a definite cure. What is behind this disease and how did it become a silent killer among all other cancers? Let’s take a look.

To put it simply, hypertension is when the pressure in your blood vessels is too high (140/90 mmHg or higher). Most people do not get any signs and symptoms before reaching a critical threshold, which then health plummets.

高血壓喺現代人生活中已經看似成為一個無法避免的事實，也沒有一個完全治療方法。但其實有啲咩因素令到佢被稱為都市人的隱形殺手？我地黎睇睇。

簡單而言，當我地上下壓達到 140/90mmHg 的時候，咁就會醫學上診斷為高血壓。但大部份人未到危險血壓時都仲未有任何明顯病徵，令到有唔小人未得到適似的治療。

Risk Factor | 風險

Unhealthy diets, Physical inactivity, Tobacco and alcohol consumption, Overweight

不健康飲食，靜態生活習慣，煙酒生活，過重

Prevention | 預防

Eat more vegetables and fruits. Being physically active. Lose weight if you’re overweight. Keep up with your medical routine and regular doctor’s appointments.

健康飲食習慣。多運動。過重人仕減重。如已患上高血壓者定期覆診及服用處方藥。

Eat Fresher in Hong Kong: FOODBOX Supports Local Farm | 香港食得更新鮮: FOODBOX 支持本地農場

Written by Thomas 撰寫人 Thomas

As a made in Hong Kong brand, FOODBOX has always tried to help and source local delicacies to better our menus. Our recent Okra salad has been a successful fusion sourced from a local farm. Not to mention that the farm is entirely organic, therefore, there is little pesticide and fertilizer used to grow them!

身為一個香港制造的品牌，所以我地一直喺唔同農場揾一啲啱用而又新鮮的蔬果翻黎整沙律。而近期的秋葵沙律成為夏天第一款當做產品，更為特別是它的耕作過程是全有機，食的時候令你更加安心。

What’s Special about the Farm | 農場特色

All crops are grown organically on the farm with a natural growing method, and they are also applicable to any home plants that you may have laying around. The fertilizer used in the farm is peanut peel soaked in water, a nitrogen-rich fertilizer that is essential for plant growth!

What about the pest? There are always attacks from snails, grasshoppers and such. The farm’s got that covered as well with the use of nests. They are hung around the crops to prevent the entry of harmful pests. It has drastically reduced the use of pesticide.

農場所有作物都是以有機方式耕作，所以如果大家屋企都有種小種物的話都可以試試下農場的建議！佢地用的肥料係經太陽乾的花生衣，再浸落水之後就可以加落去盆栽到。

但如果講到害蟲方面，農場方面就會用到蟲網將作物隔開，屋企的話可以試下用較小型的蚊帳。最後可以大大減小到使用農藥的機會同需要！

Eat Healthier in Hong Kong: What does traditional Chinese medicine say about shrimp? | 香港食得更健康：傳統中醫對蝦的看法

Written by Thomas 撰寫人 Thomas

Shrimp is like an essential seafood nowadays, it can be steamed, fried, served raw, etc. Its miracle of being the best and most readily available seafood is known to everyone, especially under hot summer days when it can be eaten raw and cool. However, is there anything bad eating it?

蝦宜家都算係最多人食的海鮮之一，佢唔單止咩煮法都好食，仲要可以生食，令到唔同地區飲食文化都會見到。宜家香港仲要係夏天，其實有唔小地方都會有生冷蝦食，但食其實對食體又有冇影響呢？

Eating Shrimp in Salad | 喺沙律加蝦的好處

Salad is considered to be cool under TCM, it is not ideal for people who have weak stomach and spleen, therefore, the addition of fresh shrimp can compensate for the cool in salad and gain a balance to your diet.

其實大部份生嘅菜都比較寒涼，對脾胃虛弱人士冇乜益處，但如果夏天嚟講間唔中食下都無傷大雅的。蝦中醫嚟講性微溫，有補腎壯陽，通絡止痛功用。

Precautions | 注意

Adding shrimp to salad provides a balance to the heat and cool, which in terms is better for our spleen and stomach. However, some people may be allergic to shrimp.

配搭一啲生嘅菜嘅話有少少類似平衡嘅作用，相對上冇咁傷脾胃，但係有過敏人士就要注意唔可以食了。

At the End of the Tale | 取得平衡

Everything needs a balance, there are differences between raw and cooked shrimp, and so this blog does not apply to every condition. Therefore, what’s important is to find a balance in what you eat.

食咩都要平衡，所以大家都要量力而為。另外唔同的煮法都會改變到食物的本質，本質陰涼的菜可以因為炒及炸而變成熱氣食品，所以都要睇清每個餐單！

Eat Healthier in Hong Kong: What does traditional Chinese medicine say about beetroot and chickpea? | 香港食得更健康：傳統中醫對紅菜頭及鷹嘴豆的看法

Written by Thomas 撰寫人 Thomas

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is viewed more and more heavily in every aspect of our lives, food, cosmetics, health, and we would like to add that concept to our salads. What’s better than incorporating it into our summer menus, we all simply think that eating cooler would be better, but it is not merely the truth.

近期中醫學開始喺唔同領域都有人研究點樣可以改善以西醫為基礎的產品，食物，化妝品，健康產品等等。而我地都想引入傳統中醫學入去我地沙律的餐單中。

Eating Beetroot and Chickpea | 紅菜頭及鷹嘴豆的好處

Beetroot itself has a detoxification effect when eaten, it is effective in clearing the heat from our bodies in summer. Its main effect would be to maintain coolness in ourselves.

On the other hand, chickpea has a totally different influence on our bodies, it is seen as a food that can regulate both the spleen and stomach functions. Spleen is an organ crucial in managing our bodily immune function, having it regulated can improve our health and immune system.

紅菜頭具有清熱解毒的功效，有助於消除暑熱和身體內部的毒素，讓身體保持清涼舒適。

其次鷹嘴豆富含蛋白質和維生素，能夠補充身體所需的營養，增強體力和免疫力。也有助於調節脾胃功能，增加食欲，促進消化。

Precautions | 注意

As perfect as it sounds from eating beetroot and chickpea, there is a certain demographic who should not eat frequently and in mass. Both beetroot and chickpea is a cold food, so over consumption may lead to indigestion.

不過要注意，紅菜頭和鷹嘴豆都屬於寒涼性食材，適量食用可清熱解毒，但過量食用可能會影響脾胃消化功能，導致脾胃虛寒，所以要適量。

At the End of the Tale | 取得平衡

TCM focuses on the balance of internal regulation, it is never good to be extreme at anything, so eat whilst always concerning your health!

唔同體質既人適合唔同既食材同飲食方式，需要因人而異，因此選擇食材時需要考慮其體質狀況。

Eat Healthier in Hong Kong: What is Hypercholesterolemia | 香港食得更健康: 什麼是高膽固醇

Written by Thomas 撰寫人 Thomas

I know you’ve all heard of hypercholesterolemia somewhere before. However, is it well understood by people? Do you know what’s the difference between the aforementioned with its close relative hyperlipidemia? Fundamentally, they have something in common, and in the coming blog posts, we will discuss more with them.

三高其中一樣就係高膽固醇，但係唔知你又有冇聽過高血脂，其實佢地兩者有啲咩分別？我地今日會探討膽固醇先，而下一篇文章我地會繼續睇多小小關於血脂的資訊。

What is Hypercholesterolemia? | 什麼是高膽固醇？

Hypercholesterolemia is a lipid disorder with an abnormal level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), we will discuss more about it in the coming section. The higher its level, the higher the possibility of fat collecting in arteries, which may lead to heart attack and stroke.

高膽固醇是當血液有過多的低密度脂蛋白膽固醇 (壞膽固醇)，而它血含量太高的時候會增加患上血管疾病以及中風的風險。

What is LDL? | 什麼是低密度脂蛋白膽固醇 (壞膽固醇)？

Low-density lipoprotein, also comes with its friends, including high-density lipoprotein. LDL is commonly referred to as the bad cholesterol, and vice versa.

LDL’s main duty in the body is to transport cholesterol to areas of the body which need them, so when too much LDL is present in blood, there will be a surplus, leading to the accumulation of fat on walls of arteries.

除了當見的壞膽固醇之外，也有高密度脂蛋白膽固醇 (好膽固醇)。

壞膽固醇在身體的主要工作是將膽固醇從儲備中搬運到有需要的身體部份。所以壞膽固醇也是必須品，但當血含量過高的時候才會令到有多出的膽固醇儲積在血管的表面。

Eat Greener in Hong Kong: Fun Facts about Carbon Emission | 香港食得更環保: 幾件關於碳排發的小知識

Written by Thomas 撰寫人 Thomas

Lowering carbon emissions is becoming hotter and hotter ever, and literally the same to our global temperature. However, in this day and age, how much do you know about climate change and the effects it has on our lives? Does switching to vegetarianism or not having pets have a more substantial impact on our carbon footprint? Let’s find out more with our blog below!

減碳排發已經係一個非常普遍的話題，而全球暖化亦順利成章地日益嚴重。但其實喺電視或者社交媒體上面睇到的你又記得幾多呢？或者大部份人忽略提及的方面唔知你又知幾多呢。下面會有幾個有趣的小知識，睇下你又有冇聽過喎！

Fun Fact #1: Chat GPT since the start of development released over 522 tons of carbon dioxide

趣事 #1: 由 Chat GPT 開始發展至今已排發過 522 噸的二氧化碳

When compared to similar products on the market, Chat GPT released a significantly larger portion of carbon dioxide.

當 Chat GPT 比同行比温室氣體排放時，Chat GPT 的排放最多。

Fun Fact #2: Ocean absorbs the most heat from the sun

趣事 #2: 海洋熱能吸收是於地面佔比最多

The ocean absorbs around 90% of the heat radiating from the sun.

海洋吸收大約 9 成來至大陽的熱能。

Fun Fact #3: Carbon dioxide is not the only greenhouse gasses

趣事 #3: 二氧化碳不是唯一的温室氣體

Even though carbon dioxide is not the only type of greenhouse gasses, it is the one released the most by human activities. Other greenhouse gasses include nitrous oxide, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons and ozone.

即使二氧化碳不是唯一的温室氣體，但它是人類排放最多以及佔比最多的。其他包括一氧化二氮、氫氯氟烴、氫氟烴和臭氧。

Fun Fact #4: Going vegetarianism reduces more emission than not adopting a pet

趣事 #4: 轉食素比不養寵物所減的碳排放更多

It is only true in a lifetime decision for switching to vegetarianism. However, other than lowering carbon emission, it can also improve your overall health. For people who are considering switching to be a vegetarian, here now lies another good reason for you!

雖然轉食素所減的碳排放會比不養寵物的為多，但是轉食素的時間需要夠長時間才能累積累銷。但其實轉食素的好處也不只減碳排放的一個好處，也對我們的健康有着長期幫助。所以如果仲諗緊轉唔轉素的你又多左個好好的原因！

Fun Fact #5: How much carbon emission reduced from paper box to plastic box?

趣事 #5: 從膠餐盒轉做紙餐盒省了多小碳排放？

Cardboard & Paper: 0.94kg carbon emissions per 1 kg of packaging

Plastic: 3.50kg carbon emissions per 1 kg of packaging

Saved approximately 2.56kg carbon emission per 1 kg of packaging.

紙: 每使用 1 公斤的包裝物料會有 0.94 公斤的碳排放

膠: 每使用 1 公斤的包裝物料會有 3.5 公斤的碳排於

大約佪公斤的包裝會節省約 2.56 公斤的碳排放

All FOODBOX’s packaging materials are made of paper and cardboard customized to cater the worsening climate change. In doing so, we have continuously reduced carbon emission over a decade now.

Eat Healthier in Hong Kong: What is Diabetes Mellitus (II) | 香港食得更健康: 什麼是糖尿病 (II)

Written by Thomas 撰寫人 Thomas

After the previous article mentioning Type II Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), we would like to further address a close relative of the disease – Type I Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM). The difference between them being an autoimmune disease and not.

我們上一篇的文章簡單提及到二型糖尿病是什麼，有那些風險等。但其實除了二型之外，也有一型糖尿病的存在。而一型的特別在於它是一款遺傳性疾病。

Type I Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) | 一型糖尿病

T1DM is a chronic condition, which our pancreas makes little or no insulin because of unknown reason. Yes, unknown reason. Usually when the body’s immune system turn against ourselves, raging attacks onto our body’s own cells, and in this case being the cells inside our pancreas, leading to the inability to produce insulin. The age of onset starts from 4 to 7.

一型糖尿病是一款長期疾病，導致身體減少或完全失去製造胰島素的能力，而成因是不明。而病發者身體的免疫細胞會攻擊胰臟中製造胰島素的細胞，令到它們失去功能。而病發時期由4至7歲為主。

If you’re new to T1DM, as well as T2DM, we highly recommend that the consumption of sugary food should be reduced.

Therefore, we, FOODBOX would like to recommend a few of our dishes for your positive lifestyle change!
