What great information. I wish the whole of America was interested in this topic. Food is medicine.

I practice Traditional Chinese Medicine. Diet, Herbs, Qigong, Taiji. I used to practice Silat and Escrima and still enjoy "playing" sticks, except now I go with Taiji Style Flow.

Thanks Shirley that was very interesting and helpful information. Since having acupuncture and incorporating herbs (gradually over time), my health has improved and I don’t succumb to Illness nearly as often as I used to.

春夏养阳，秋冬养阴。what do we need to eat during these seasons? Is my interpretation correct that during Spring, Summer, take food that can 养阳 like mutton, etc? But isn't mutton "heaty" and needs to take in Summer to "养阳"? Could you enlighten me on that? Felt confused. Thanks in advance!
