即使年輕、體型較瘦或活動量較高,也應留意食用頻率
韓國研究發現,女性每週吃泡麵2次以上,與每月吃不到1次者相比,代謝症候群關聯度約為1.68倍;排除糖尿病及服藥者後約為1.83倍。BMI低於中位數的女性次群組關聯度達5.22倍,但為小樣本分析。男性未觀察到顯著關聯。

文章引用一項發表於《營養學期刊》的韓國研究,分析韓國國民健康與營養調查中1萬711名19至64歲成人資料,獨立評估泡麵攝取頻率,並校正年齡、收入、抽菸、喝酒、運動與總熱量等因素。
加班晚歸、深夜嘴饞,泡麵是不少人的救急選擇;但吃的頻率也要留意。高雄初日診所減重專科醫師范亞萱指出,一項韓國研究發現,女性每週吃泡麵2次以上,代謝症候群較常見,即使年輕、體型較瘦或活動量較高,也不能輕忽。
范亞萱表示,這項發表於《營養學期刊》(The Journal of Nutrition)的研究,分析韓國國民健康與營養調查中1萬711名、19至64歲成人資料,除了檢視整體飲食型態,也獨立評估泡麵攝取頻率,並校正年齡、收入、抽菸、喝酒、運動與總熱量等因素。
研究發現,女性每週吃泡麵2次以上,與每月吃不到1次者相比,代謝症候群的關聯程度約為1.68倍;排除已有糖尿病或正在服用降血壓、降血脂藥物者後,關聯仍存在,約為1.83倍。男性則未觀察到統計上顯著的關聯。
值得留意的是,年輕、BMI較低或活動量較高的女性,也觀察到類似趨勢。其中,BMI低於中位數的女性,若每週吃泡麵2次以上,與同族群每月吃不到1次者相比,關聯程度達5.22倍。不過,這是人數較少的次群組分析,不能直接解讀為較瘦者風險更高。
范亞萱指出,女性的關聯為何較明顯,目前仍無定論,研究作者推測可能涉及生理差異、飲食習慣或其他因素。這項觀察性研究只能顯示關聯,不能直接認定吃泡麵就是造成代謝症候群的原因。
她提醒,泡麵多半含有較多精緻澱粉、飽和脂肪與鈉,若長期頻繁取代正常餐食,容易造成營養不均衡,也可能增加血壓、血脂與血糖管理的負擔。想減輕負擔,可掌握4個原則:
●降低食用頻率:避免把泡麵當成固定正餐或宵夜,已有頻繁食用習慣者,可先從減少次數開始。
●補足蛋白質與蔬菜:加入雞蛋、豆腐或瘦肉,搭配青菜、菇類,補充蛋白質與膳食纖維,讓整餐營養更完整。
●調味粉減量、湯少喝:先加半包調味粉,再依口味調整,也可用蔥、蒜、胡椒等增添風味。想減少油脂攝取,可選非油炸麵體,搭配清湯烹煮。
●定期追蹤代謝指標:已有腰圍過粗、血壓、血糖或血脂異常者,應定期追蹤數值,並從整體飲食與生活習慣一起調整。
范亞萱強調,偶爾吃一碗泡麵不必過度緊張,應留意的是長期食用頻率與整體飲食組合。若腰圍逐漸增加,或健檢出現血壓、血脂、空腹血糖異常,應及早尋求醫師或營養師協助。

Hong Kong will become the first Asian city to conduct clinical trials of histotripsy, a non-invasive kidney tumour treatment, with the Li Ka Shing Foundation funding places for 30 patients across CUHK Medical Centre, Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong, and Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital.

69-year-old Uncle Qin was pricked by a fishbone on his right palm while handling tilapia. Three days later, he developed a high fever, redness, swelling and blisters on his arms. He was diagnosed with Vibrio vulnificus infection and was discharged from the Shenzhen Third People's Hospital after 16 days of treatment. Doctors remind people to wear gloves when handling seafood, and those with wounds should avoid contact with seafood and seawater. If the wound is red, swollen and has a fever, seek medical attention immediately and inform them of the seafood bite.

You Guantang, a psychosomatic physician, pointed out that Double 11 limited-time promotions can easily induce impulse purchases. It is recommended that consumers make a list and set a budget before checking out. Store items not on the list for the next day before making a decision. If you repeatedly cannot control your shopping impulse, you can seek professional assistance.

Liu Boren, director of the Cobot Clinic, said that although black fungus contains polysaccharides that may have antioxidant and blood lipid-regulating effects, there is no clinical evidence in humans to prove that it can remove blood vessel plaques or prevent myocardial infarction. Patients taking medication should not stop taking the medicine on their own. Soaking dried black fungus at room temperature for a long time may increase the risk of contamination by microorganisms such as bunkeric acid. You should cook it as soon as possible after soaking it for a short time and keep it refrigerated if necessary.

In response to the "Health Coin" policy of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, Chimei Medical Center took the lead in China on October 22 to launch the "Colleagues Donate Blood to Get Health Points" campaign. Donating 250cc of blood will earn you 250 points, and donating 500cc will earn you 500 points, which can be used as discounts in the hospital restaurant. In the future, it is planned to be used for health examinations and self-paid vaccines. During the event, colleagues donated a total of 21,500 cc of blood. 90.6% of the participants agreed that daily health should be paid more attention to by combining health points, and 96.9% hoped that the Ministry of Health and Welfare would include blood donation in the health coin reward program.

The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in the United States conducted a small clinical trial in which influenza vaccine was directly injected into the tumors of 18 melanoma patients. Seven patients showed signs of tumor regression, and three patients had no cancer cells found in the surgically removed tissue. The results of the study were presented at the annual meeting of the Society for Cancer Immunotherapy in Phoenix, USA, in November. However, the trial did not have a control group and the source of the efficacy cannot yet be confirmed.
