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。
