TCM and dietary practices


Choosing the foods we eat is simple.
It is our approach and choice that can be complicated and misleading. 
Simple means choosing what your body needs and not what is convenient or what we are craving. 
Philosophy or food fads and theories cannot sustain the health of one's body and mind. 
Sustenance for the body needs to be nourishing as well as tasty but most importantly it must enhance our health and wellness, not just catering to our taste buds and habits.
Food is our first line of defence, cure and antidote against a multitude of ailments and diseases.
In TCM vitality and good health is dependant on healthy, strong Chi and blood.
The basic and critical elements for sustenance is in food choices, quality of food and preparation methods.
In most non-Western cultures, food is considered medicine. 
Food has the most far reaching extent, if diet fails to correct a health condition only then is a doctor consulted and further treatments are implemented.
