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!
