Nutrition

The foundation for healthy living begins with what’s on your plate. According to the Traditional Chinese medicine diet, the following principles will help you achieve balance, longevity, energy, and more:

• Eat at regular hours
• Incorporate protein with every meal
• Before eating, drink warm water
• Avoid sweets and deep fried foods
• Focus on local seasonal eating
• Once a year detox

In Chinese medicine, foods are classed as either heating, cooling, drying, or damp. Balancing these energetic properties is key for health, helping to prevent illness, and more.

Balance is the key for health.

Ultimately, take all of these suggestions with a grain of salt! The goal with the Traditional Chinese Medicine diet is to consume foods that balance your body’s energy. Decrease excess heat with cooling foods, and reduce dampness with drying foods. 

Achieving balance is the best way to prevent disease and mental disharmony.
