According to Chinese Medicine these are some of the top tips to incorporate when thinking about what and how you eat:
1. Incorporate more soups, stews and broths.
2. Limiting cold, iced and raw foods.
3. Taking time to sit and eat a meal with family or friends, undistracted by the television or phones.
4. Eat inline with circadian rhythms, giving your digestive system a break in the evening and overnight.
5. Eat seasonally. Often the foods that are grown and harvested naturally in that season are considered more suitable for what body needs at that time of year. Eating this way also gives good variety for your microbiome throughout the year.
6. Whatever you are eating, enjoy it. If you fancy a doughnut don’t feel guilty about it, enjoy it.
Warming foods are easier on your digestive system and a big win. Raw foods are of course nutritionally great, however they can require a lot of energy for our digestive system to break down. Putting more energy into cooking meals means the breakdown prices has already started and therefore requires less energy from your body to digest. For most people incorporating more soups, stews and broths leaves more energy for other bodily functions and therefore healing.
