middle east diet

[Guest guest]

Hi,Boaz,

 

" One thing that I don't understand is that in many

very hot climates ( middle east, mexico africa) very

very hot spices are a major part of the diets. any

thoughts ? "

 

WEll,could you provide more detail of the ingredents

(items) of the spices middle east used.Then may be I

can try to analysis the reason for you, by

the TCM theories.There are many dimantions to discuss.

 

 

Actually,There are many countrys use spices in their

daily life in Asia,too.such as Korea,Thiland(not

Taiwan),middle mainland china and south-west part of

China and east Asia.These country's spices most are

red pepper(Chill) and others.In.India,red pepper is

small portion of curry,as well as middle

east,Indonisia,Vietnan.

 

The issue is the identification of spices(items)

are quite different in those countries ,included

Middle east,India,and so on.

 

May be I can try to analysis the reason if you provide

more information about what kind of spices middle east

ues.

 

Also,the vegetables and other stuffs of Salad in

thease countrys are different,too.As my

understand,those stuffs are quite diffient in some

country.

 

In Taiwan,we use 1000 islands dressing,oil oil,

fruits dressing,and some times,a few Chees powder.

WE accept salad to be small dishes(just like fruits of

th meal)since 30-40 years ago.and mailan china treat

it like rabbits food.this is because we have lots of

excellent fruits to eat in Asia which middle east is

rare,so no body like to ate sweetless leaves to be

vegetable.Only rabbits ate leaves.

 

The other reason is chinese people like hot cooked

meal as well as hot shoup.Hot meal means love

of the family.We only ate cold Salad spring

roll(verious delicious,too) on April 5,the day we go

to the cementory(tombs) to memory our ancenst.

One day only in a year(but in Taiwan you can buy it

every where every day now).

 

About olive oil.it comes from cold press.So,maybe It's

not hot,maybe " even " or a little be cool(saseme seed

oil are also cold compress,too.so,before cook,it is

not hot, after cooked,it increase the heat to

warm(worm) the body).

 

According TCM theory,middle east is on the east of the

earth,and east are wood(liver),so,the enviornment

might affect liver.And the weather there is hot and

dry,people lake of water to Dia-out the waste of the

body,so,the waste of the body affect liver and kidney

,too.

 

Salad and olive oil might help the body dia-out the

hot of the body and instead of cooked vegetables and

fruits.
