Guest guest Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Sources of information on Chinese dietary therapy: The Tao of Healthy Eating (Bob Flaws) Chinese Foods for Longevity (Henry Lu) Chinese System of Food Cures (Henry Lu) Chinese dietary theories do not take into account our modern food preservatives, colorings, pesticide residues, etc. Dietary habits can cause disease: e.g., poor quality or imbalanced quantity of food. Malnutrition not only in 3rd world countries but also in the west, from poverty and " fad " diets. Trying to slim by " starving " weakens SP Qi and can actually cause increase in weight because SP will be too weak to transform and transport fluids and food. Proper foods need to be eaten to strengthen SP & St. Overeating also weakens SP & ST and leads to accumulation of Phlegm and stagnation of food. Excessive consumption of cold energy and raw food can weaken the Spleen. Refrigerated food and iced water, ice cream are contraindicated. Raw vegetables, salads and fruit in excess can weaken Spleen Yang: Contraindicated in those with preexisting weakness in this area. Excessive consumption of greasy/fried foods, dairy products, (deep fried foods, milk, cheese, cream, butter, bananas, fatty meats, nuts) grains, citrus, watch wheat and soy especially tofu for sensitivity, sweet and sugary foods, chocolate too. Also look for food allergies, which can cause Phlegm or Damp which can obstruct Spleen function of transformation and transportation. How food is consumed is important. Cold foods injure the spleen drink room temp fluids avoid iced and frozen drinks. Eating in a hurry, eating late in evening, eating when upset, discussing work while eating, etc., interfere with digestion and cause deficiency of Stomach Yin. NOTE: Foods, like herbs, have their own energetic properties and can be used therapeutically to strengthen the body and treat disease. It is very useful to understand Chinese dietary therapy in order to be able to suggest to the patient the foods they should eat and those they should avoid. Excessive consumption of hot energy and spicy foods (curry, chili, hot sauce, lamb, beef) causes Heat especially of Stomach and Liver.
