【黑糖綠茶】偏頭痛不要來!

材料：黑糖(我買賣場賣的普通的黑糖粉啦)、綠茶茶葉(茶包效果不好)、燒開的熱開水

做法：馬克杯裡放入4-5大匙的黑糖(多一點沒關係)，倒入泡好的綠茶(請不要泡太淡)即可

熱熱的喝完一大杯就可以了，別懷疑!!就是這樣簡單~~

特註1：另外，每週定時適量的運動，也可減少偏頭痛的發生哦!自從我每週固定有去打羽球、流一下汗，我就很少再犯頭痛了。就算頭要開始痛了，只要去打打球，流流汗，就又好好的了，所以適度的運動也很重要唷^^

特註2：如果家裡沒有綠茶，其實不必一定要特地去買綠茶，家裡若有高山茶或高山烏龍茶應都可以做替用!因為我家就不是用綠茶^^原則上，非熟茶類的茶，只要是【生茶(青茶)類的茶】應都有這個效用哦!大家可試試!

秋葵含鈣量 不輸鮮奶

秋葵雖然有個「秋」字，但每年3到11月都是它的採收期，5到9月則是主要盛產季。 秋葵又名黃秋葵、黃蜀葵、羊角豆等，原產於非洲或熱帶亞洲。由於秋葵果實呈長條狀，尾端尖細，頗似女人的纖纖玉指，英國人幫它取了一個頗為浪漫的名字「美人指」。 吃過秋葵的人很難不對它的黏滑汁液留下印象，有人自此不敢領教，也有人深愛它獨特口感。生機飲食成風潮，近年來食用秋葵的人愈來愈多。
保護胃壁 黏液最營養 秋葵的表皮毛毛的，加上裡頭帶有黏黏的汁液，過去台灣人的接受度不是那麼高，但日本人卻經常拿來涼拌，撒一些柴魚片，再淋上醬油，或蘸哇沙米，也常切成星星狀，放在味噌湯裡。 明朝本草綱目裡就有關於秋葵的記載，但比較屬於食療用的植物。它的黏液裡，除了含了豐富的營養成分外，可以附著在胃黏膜上，保護胃壁，就是俗話說的「顧胃」。至於外傳「吃精補精」，認為秋葵對男性是很好的補品，還須文獻來佐證。
屬性偏涼 薑椒可平衡
秋葵是營養價值很高的蔬菜，富含蛋白質，熱量不高，很適合想減肥的人食用。但要提醒民眾，它的屬性偏寒涼，脾胃虛寒、容易腹瀉或排軟便的人，最好不要多吃。燙熟後蘸摻有薑末、辣椒末的醬油食用，可以稍微平衡它的寒涼，但還是不宜吃太多。
降低血壓 預防大腸癌 秋葵黏黏的汁液裡，含有水溶性纖維果膠、半乳聚糖，以及阿拉伯樹膠，這三種成分都屬於水溶性膳食纖維，除了可以降血壓、幫助消化，對預防大腸癌也有幫助。 不只如此，水溶性膳食纖維吃了會有飽足感，對控制體重也有幫助。至於坊間認為，秋葵可以治胃炎、胃潰瘍，恐怕還需要科學證據才能證實。 除了含有豐富的水溶性纖維，秋葵裡的鈣、鎂跟鉀也很多，美國高血壓防治飲食建議指引裡，建議攝取的礦物質組合就是鈣、鎂跟鉀，這些在秋葵裡統統有，含量也不低。
鈣含量多 比牛奶好吸收
以100公克秋葵為例，鈣含量就有80到100毫克，跟等重的鮮奶不相上下。不同的是，秋葵的草酸含量低，鈣的吸收利用率可達五到六成，比牛奶來得好，對素食人口、發育中的小朋友，或是喝牛奶會拉肚子的人來說，是很好的鈣質來源。國人飲食普遍有鈣攝取不足現象，可以多吃一些秋葵。 含鉀較多 腎病患燙再吃 不過，秋葵跟蔬菜一樣，因為含有較多的鉀，洗腎病患要燙過再食用。 料理時，可把汆燙後的秋葵，捲上素火腿，再撒點起司粉，用錫箔紙包覆後放進烤箱烘烤，由於秋葵跟起司都富含鈣質，可以增加鈣質的攝取量。

燙過再切 別讓黏液流失

●秋葵果實生長速度很快，很容易老化。拇指般長短的秋葵最嫩最好吃，超過中指長度可能太老。 ●秋葵表皮附有細毛，清洗時洗乾淨即可，不必費工把細毛刮除。 ●料理秋葵最大的重點，在於盡量保持秋葵「完整」度，為免黏液流失，千萬別在下鍋汆燙前，就先切除蒂頭，才不會流失寶貴的黏液，吃起來口感也差很多。最正確的做法是先留下三分之一的蒂頭，汆燙後再切掉。 ●整根秋葵燙熟後食用，不僅方便，也最好吃。煮太久的秋葵，表皮會變太軟，汁液也會滲出。另外，先加些鹽後再汆燙，可以避免秋葵變黃。

料理DIY／涼拌秋葵

料理DIY／雙菇炒秋葵

材料：秋葵40-50公克、杏鮑菇20公克、鮮香菇20公克（約2朵）、蒟蒻片30公克、薑片10公克、水100 -150c .c.、鹽1小匙、醬油、白砂糖適量 作法： 1.秋葵汆燙後，去蒂並切長段；杏鮑菇與香菇則是先切片，再汆燙。兩種食材皆備用。 2.蒟蒻切片後，輕輕抓過太白粉與沙拉油，接著過熱油處理，備用。 3.另外準備一個鍋子，熱油後爆香薑片，再加水、鹽、醬油、砂糖，並把調味料拌勻。 4.秋葵、杏鮑菇、香菇這3種材料先入鍋拌炒，等鍋內的調味醬汁燒滾，最後再加蒟蒻片，炒熟就可以起鍋了。
