聖誕節的神級食物

 

 

神之食材:可可

每逢聖誕節總是大家親友們相聚的好時刻;在這大吃大喝的日子裡,保護血管及腸道健康是非常重要。可可(cocoa)是由可可樹(Theobroma cacao tree)果實裡的種子提取製成的,含豐富營養成分,其天然抗氧化物含量比鮮果汁更高。Theobroma 在希臘語中可以直譯為「食物」(Theo)和「眾神」(broma) – 就是眾神的食物(Food of the Gods)。 可可黑朱古力和可可粉對我們身體的益處甚廣,稱為「神級食物」 可謂當之無愧。

 

可可的健康益處

在一項對照研究中發現,可可含強力抗氧化物,能進入血液並減少低密度膽固醇(LDL)的氧化受損程度,及增加高密度膽固醇(HDL)從預防醫學來說,這能減少膽固醇在動脈中的沉積,有效地降低患心腦血管疾病的風險。可可的抗氧化劑對心臟有益外,還有助修復因紫外線和環境毒素而受損的皮膚。

 

節日健康美肌特飲:可可益纖蛋白

繁忙的香港都巿女性身兼數職,平日已經睡眠不足;冬日聖誕其間更要忙於社交應酬,更加速皮膚老化程度。這時候沖一杯有齊高抗氧化物丶 優質蛋白質和益生菌的可可粉益纖蛋白: 可促進皮膚的血液流通丶幫助減輕皺紋,有助改善皮膚彈性和光澤度。大餐前飲用更可增加飽腹感,減少節後增重的危機。

 

甜點是聖誕聚餐中不可缺少的部份,注重健康的朋友不妨以黑朱古力去滿足您對甜食的需求,既不會有損健康,更能為您帶來幸福感。除神級甜點外,水亦是生命之源。要培養健康好習慣,記得早上喝250毫升溫水去開始新的一天。祝大家身體健康!聖誕快樂!

 

後記:冬日推介特飲--熱薑茶

熱薑茶也是配餐首選,生薑中含有化合物薑醇(gingerols)和薑酚(shogaols),可以幫助刺激胃部收縮和排空, 有助舒緩腹脹或消化不良。此外,有調查發現肥胖人仕喝熱薑茶後,有助因進食而提升身體消耗的能量,稱為攝食產熱效應(Thermic Effect of Food)及增加飽腹感並減少飢餓感。
