Within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), nutrition is crucial for both healing and disease prevention. Although adjusting your diet can treat many diseases and symptoms effectively, it often requires time and a strong commitment from the patient to see results.
Today’s fast-paced lifestyle often leads to a lack of understanding about what constitutes a healthy diet. Common issues include:
- Neglecting nutritious eating due to busy schedules.
- Confusion from numerous diet fads and controversial trends.
This confusion has contributed to a decline in overall health, manifesting in conditions such as:
- Obesity
- Depression
- Diabetes
- Cardiovascular issues
- Arthritis
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) nutrition differs from modern Western approaches by focusing on the therapeutic properties of foods rather than just their chemical makeup. This method provides the advantage of:
- Tailoring dietary recommendations to individual needs.
- Considering factors like food preparation, body type, seasonal changes, and geographic location to determine the most suitable diet.
