Article
Chinese food therapy, or Chinese nutrition therapy, has roots dating back to 2000 BC, with documented uses emerging around 500 BC. This practice uses specific foods to heal various ailments and maintain overall health. Central to this therapy is the concept of yin and yang in foods: yin foods are thought to lower the body’s metabolism and decrease heat, while yang foods may increase metabolism and body heat.
Instead of dairy, the Chinese diet emphasizes four main food groups: grains, vegetables, fruits, and meats. A balanced daily diet typically includes 40% grains, 30-40% vegetables, 10-15% meats, and the remainder in nuts and fruits.
Foods in Chinese food therapy are also categorized by taste?"pungent, salty, bitter, sweet, and sour. Each flavor targets specific organs, promoting health when consumed in moderation, but potentially causing harm if overconsumed.
The philosophy "you are what you eat" is fundamental to those who practice Chinese food therapy. An example of this approach is a traditional remedy for coughs: apricot kernels, watercress, and dried duck gizzards are simmered together. Pork can be added for flavor, but beef and chicken are avoided as they counteract the healing properties of watercress. In this recipe, watercress balances excess yang, duck gizzards harmonize yin and yang, and apricots benefit the lungs.
