Got Hot Sauce In Your Bag? Maybe Tone Down The Swag For The Next Couple of Months: The Best (And Wor

“He that takes medicine and neglects diet, wastes the skill of the physician.” – Chinese Proverb

Food is medicine. Why? Think about it. You take it three (or more) times a day and it provides chemical compounds that can change the tissues and organs of the body. And without it- you die. So lets take the food we put into our baby-making-machine more seriously.

While Western Medicine categorizes foods according to their chemical makeup, Eastern Medicine factors in their energetic qualities. For example, if you tend to be a dry person- dry hair, dry nails, dry skin…etc, Eastern Medicine suggests staying away from energetically warm foods, including that finger lickin’ hot sauce. Spicy foods dry out the tissues of the body like a desert. If you already tend towards dryness, you’ll want to eat foods that will enrich Yin (fluids) and promote supple tissues and organs so that they can function optimally.
