It is only natural for women to love beauty, but paying for it with the price of health is not worth it. So, how can a woman be both beautiful and healthy?
Eating for Health
To nourish your body through diet, you must embrace what is beneficial and avoid what is harmful, establishing a scientific and healthy eating habit. Overcome the bad habit of eating indiscriminately—eating whatever and however much you want. Improve your overall quality of life.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that regular meals and a reasonable combination of foods are the basic principles of "dietary therapy." Food should be diverse, well-balanced, and moderately seasoned; you should chew slowly and savor your food, avoiding overeating; enjoy good food in beautiful vessels with a peaceful state of mind. Furthermore, food should be adapted to your age, physical constitution, geographical environment, and seasonal weather.
The way you eat matters
People naturally tend to eat more foods that are delicious and nutritious, but TCM believes that while the nutritional value of food is important, the way it is eaten is also crucial for nutrient absorption and gastrointestinal health.
Eating on time is key to maintaining the body's rhythmic absorption and utilization of nutrients, and it is one of the most important aspects of dietary therapy. Eating in moderation is a vital part of maintaining the body's balance of yin and yang.
Chewing slowly and thoroughly allows the saliva in your mouth to fully nourish the five zang organs and moisten the entire body. The various enzymes, vitamins, and organic acids in saliva aid digestion and have effects such as cleansing the mouth, fighting bacteria, countering toxins, and preventing cancer. Indulging your appetite and overeating can easily damage the spleen.
