Features: A new concept of human dietary culture in the 21st century. Based on traditional Chinese medicine theory and long-term clinical observation and experimental research, the author categorizes human constitution into six main types. Among these, only one type is normal, while the other five are pathological types, representing a transitional state between health and disease. At this stage, various Western medical examinations often yield results within the normal range, but the individual may experience various subjective discomforts. In such cases, both medicine and food can be used for regulation. This is a concrete manifestation of the theory of "medicinal and edible substances sharing the same origin, nature, principle, and effect" in traditional Chinese medicine.
"" refers to selecting foods according to each person's constitutional type while minimizing dietary errors. With persistence, pathological constitution can be adjusted to a normal state, achieving the goals of health preservation, disease prevention, and longevity. This book will introduce readers to the specific methods of constitutional dietary regulation, which are highly practical.
