Body Alert Points

? The Golden Rules of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Health Preservation

▶️ Diet Three Should-be and Three Taboos

Should Eat:
Spring greens and sprouts ? (leeks, spinach, bean sprouts – support liver’s upward energy)
Sweet and mild foods ? (dates, yams, honey – nourish spleen and harmonize liver)
Pungent herbs in moderation ? (scallions, ginger – help yang qi rise and disperse)

Should Avoid:
Sour and astringent foods ? (contract liver qi when it needs to spread freely)
Heavy greasy foods ? (burden spleen and liver during activation phase)
Excessive spicy foods ?️ (overstimulate rising liver yang causing anger and headaches)

▶️ Key Points of Living
