紅藜麥、白藜麥和黑藜麥的區別

What is red quinoa and what does it taste like?

Red quinoa is the most attractive of all three options from quinoa. It is red in color and turns deep red when cooked and mixed well with various vegan ingredients. Uncooked red quinoa comes in oval and flat shapes. When you cook the same, it turns into a fluffy texture that will surely catch your attention at first sight.

In terms of taste, red quinoa is a bit chewy compared to the other two varieties. It provides less crunch but is still delicious for all the vegans out there.

What is white quinoa and what does it taste like?

White quinoa is easy to see due to its light texture and less fluffy appearance. This type of quinoa requires less water to cook and even less time to be completely ready. White quinoa is perfect added to salads, vegan desserts, plant-based burger patties, and more. You can even find crunchy quinoa puffs made with this fake grain.

White quinoa tastes crunchy and nutty. It provides a fluffy texture and very little chewing experience while having the same effect.

What is black quinoa and what does it taste like?

The darkest variety of quinoa is black quinoa , which is more nutritious and healthier than the other two types of quinoa. It is the healthiest option among quinoa, containing more protein, dietary fiber and less fat content. Since black quinoa has a nuttier and fluffier texture, it takes time to cook.

Black quinoa has a crispier flavor. It's the only quinoa variety with a naturally sweet taste that can be added to several meals for a delicious taste.

咩係三價鐵(Fe³⁺)同二價鐵(Fe²⁺)?

當我哋講「鐵質」時,唔止係話有冇攝取足夠,而係講緊鐵喺人體內唔同形態(尤其係三價鐵 Fe³⁺ 同二價鐵 Fe²⁺)點樣被吸收、轉化、運輸同儲存,呢啲都深深影響生物可利用率

全面解構低鐵原因、病理機制及影響

低鐵唔止係營養問題,仲可能係身體慢性警號

鐵質(iron)係人體不可或缺嘅微量元素,主要負責攜帶氧氣嘅血紅素(hemoglobin)製造、能量代謝、免疫調節等。當鐵質長期攝取不足、吸收差、或失去過多,就會導致「低鐵」(iron deficiency)甚至發展成「缺鐵性貧血」(iron deficiency anemia)。本文將從臨床醫學與分子生理角度,深入探討低鐵嘅成因、病理機制、生物轉化過程,以及其對人體造成嘅連鎖影響。

唔凍都會打冷震?

打冷震(shivering)唔一定因為天氣凍,喺情緒波動、發燒初期、焦慮、緊張等情況下都可以出現。打冷震係一種由大腦下視丘控制嘅「非意識性肌肉收縮」,目的係維持或調節核心體溫或應對突發壓力。了解打冷震背後嘅神經與體溫調節原理,可以幫我哋區分「正常生理反應」同「潛在疾病警號」。 打冷震係乜回事...
一緊張就流手汗?

一緊張就流手汗?

手掌汗腺主要受交感神經系統控制。當人面對壓力、驚訝、社交場合等刺激時,大腦會啟動「戰鬥或逃跑反應」,促使手掌、腳底等部位產生明顯出汗。這種情況屬於精神性出汗,與溫度無直接關係,係身體對外在壓力的自然反應。
