Why do I want to limit your fruit intake? You may think I am out of my mind. Many people believe that fruits are inherently healthy, and they are correct to a degree. However, many Americans mistakenly lump fruits and vegetables together. The government slogan is "5 a day," meaning five servings of fruits and vegetables every day. This often gives people the impression that fruits and vegetables are interchangeable, which is not correct....

Just returned from an unforgettable trip to Japan, my first time back in 28 years! I did studied Japanese in high school and took Japanese classes in college. But sorry to say I forgot most of my Japanese. Luckily Japan is very tourist friendly nowadays. Well-preserved beautiful gardens and temples, balanced blend of industrial society and respect for nature, Japan demonstrates that high technology and cultural traditions can thrive together.

At the Olympic Training Center, I was inspired by a culture that embodies a relentless pursuit of excellence, where self-improvement is a badge of honor and collective enthusiasm is palpable. Being surrounded by individuals who radiate positivity and dedication was a truly energizing experience! 💡

Approximately 40 individuals from across China attended the Sports Performance and Conditioning Camp. These attendees primarily consisted of former athletes transitioning into coaching, personal training, or related fields. We had one professional MMA fighter, one a municipal SWAT team coach, some gym owners, and some who are simply enthusiasts.

The Olympic training center offers a unique opportunity to dine within the same facilities as elite Olympic athletes. Access to their dedicated cafeteria requires the purchase of a ticket, priced at approximately 70 RMB (under $10 USD). This experience transcends the typical all-you-can-eat buffet, presenting a meticulously curated selection of exceptionally healthy fare.

Reflecting contemporary sports nutrition science, the offerings lean predominantly towards plant-based options, featuring an extensive and diverse array of vegetables. While the abundance of plant-forward choices is notable, the comparatively limited presence of animal-based foods within a buffet setting may initially seem unexpected.

A common misconception persists that top athletes, due to their high caloric expenditure, necessitate diets rich in high-calorie, high-protein, and consequently, animal-based foods. However, the reality is that the intense physical demands of elite training place significant stress on the athletes' bodies, potentially hindering recovery. Beyond meeting essential macronutrient and caloric needs, a scientifically optimized dietary regimen for athletes prioritizes recovery through a wealth of micronutrients, antioxidants, polyphenols, and more. This necessitates a nutritional foundation that is largely plant-based, supporting both performance and recuperation.

I was blown away by the fancy equipment I saw at the Olympic training center in Beijing Sport University!

Definitely a state of the art training facility that's equipped with the latest technology and innovations. Fascinating to see top level Sports Science and Sports Medicine in action, with experts working tirelessly to ensure athletes receive the best care and support to reach their full potential. From advanced biomechanics analysis to cutting-edge rehabilitation techniques, this facility has it all! 🏋️‍♀️💻

This Spring (2025), I went to Olympic Training Center in Beijing to learn from Olympic Gold Medalists’ coaches, trainers and therapists.

The training facility is converted from a locomotive factory to prepare Olympic athletes for the 2022 Winter Game in Beijing. It is currently managed by Beijing Sport University for educational programs open to the public. Because Beijing Sport University is responsible for training China’s Olympic Team, the instructors at the program are the most authoritative experts in China who have trained, coached and treated the world-class athletes, many of which are Olympic Gold Medalists.

WE ALL HATE VEGETABLES. Here is why: When we eat high calorie food, our brain produces pleasure chemicals. It is our body's reward mechanism to motivate us to look for enough food and calories. Vegetables are low in caloric density. When you eat low calorie food, your brain's pleasure center is not triggered as much as high calorie food does....

前陣子，有不少人從小紅書上來找我看COVID後遺症。因為有人在上面大力推薦我。起因是她的父親來美國看她，沒想到在美國得了COVID-19，好了後變成嚴重乏力，連下床都很困難。吃不下飯，在美國看了17個不同專家的門診。你們知道美國看病沒保險是非常貴的。這個人是個VC負擔得起但是半年了都不見好轉，簽證都快要過期了也沒辦法回國。後來來我這裡看了兩三個月後都正常了就回國了。之後她就在小紅書上推薦我，有的甚至從很遠的地方做飛機來看病。 但是很多人有LONG COVID不一定能找到會治的醫生，也不一定能來我這裡看病。我想在這裡分享一下我治療LONG COVID的心得，這樣如果你有COVID的後遺症不要緊張。如果你找不到會治療LONG COVID的醫生你也可以告訴他，這樣他會有啟發。具體的治療方法當然你要和你的醫生溝通實施。這裡主要是分享我的思路： COVID 是一個很奇怪的病。雖然它是一個傳染病，但是它的很多的傷害卻是像慢性病。尤其是會加重代謝有問題的人群。這就是為什麼美國是COVID致死人數最多的國家。因為美國肥胖和有慢性病的人特別多。所以肥胖和有慢性代謝疾病的人碰上COVID可能就是致死的。而普通人碰上COVID有加重代謝疾病的傾向。我有一個美國病人，本來完全沒有糖尿病，結果得了COVID-19後就變成糖尿病患者了。 所以我治療LONG COVID的思路就是把他當作代謝疾病治療。簡單的來說就是當作是肥胖症來治療，不管這個人是不是胖的，都當減肥來治療。LONG COVID最常見的腦霧 BRAIN FOG 通過減肥式治療後提高胰島素敏感度就可以進步很多。

China's congress declares National Weight Control Year. It asks Chinese citizens to lose weight for health. China's adult are 30% overweight and 17% obese. Whereas American adult are 30% overweight and 40% obese. It reflects on healthcare spending as well. China spends around 6% GDP on healthcare and the United States spends around 18% GDP on healthcare.
