Chinese Food Therapy: Summer
The principles of Chinese Dietary Therapy take into account the energetic properties of foods that can transform health. Find out how to nourish your body and boost your chi in the spring! There will be food tastings and recipes provided!
According to Chinese Medicine, there are foods that can heal you and foods that can harm you, based on your imbalance or constitutional make up. These foods are classified by their elemental affiliation, temperature, season, flavor, and their balance. As a general rule, always eat foods that are in season, local, and never over eat one flavor.
The Summer season pertains to the Fire element, the most yang season of the year. During this time, we run the risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion, and damaging our digestion by eating foods that are too damp and heavy (ice cream and barbeques).Reat More: Summer Chinese_Food_Therapy
