Features: Dietary supplements are better than medicinal supplements. Traditional Chinese medicine cuisine (Yuzhen) is a summary of the experience of combining traditional Chinese medicine and cooking. It uses food and medicinal ingredients to prepare a diet with therapeutic effects. According to the Yin-Yang theory of traditional Chinese medicine, food exists in a situation of opposition yet unity, and this theory can guide dietary health preservation. Since foods also have Yin and Yang attributes, for example, chickens walk on land, so chicken eggs are considered warm; ducks swim in water, so duck eggs are considered cool. Therefore, chicken eggs have blood-nourishing effects, while duck eggs have a sweet and cool nature, can clear the lungs, and nourish Yin. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the balance of Qi and blood. Qi belongs to Yang, and blood belongs to Yin. If a person has excessive Yin, consuming too much fruit not only fails to aid weight loss but also increases the body's Yin, reduces energy, disrupts Qi flow, weakens Qi and blood, impairs metabolism, and leads to. Among all dietary traditions, China is the best, and Chinese cuisine, especially in the south, is particularly refined. The dietary recipes in this book are primarily sourced from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and some overseas Chinese-language newspapers and magazines. They are based on the long-term dietary experiences of people, refined through literary processing. Each recipe includes cooking methods, ingredient selection, and the main nutritional value and therapeutic effects, making them simple to learn and highly practical.
