Winter eating plan—general overview

Winter according to the Chinese FIVE elements theories, is related to water. This relates to the kidney and bladder. Water is the essential media of your body through which all things pass. It is part of the lymphatic flow, helps eliminate waste, fight of infection, and facilitates the flow of saliva, perspiration, tears and sexual fluids.

The kidneys filter the blood and keep the blood and keep the body clean and in balance. They filter several thousand of quarts of blood daily. Extracting and keeping the balance of minerals, salts, acids, and wastes. The health of the kidney can be seen in the glow of the skin hair and eyes.

The vitality of all body fluids is maintained by the kidney and bladder.

“The groins and the bladder are like magistrates of a region or district, they store the overflow and the fluid secretions which serve to regulate vaporisation.” NEI CHING

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT, THINK AND DO.

What you eat builds your physical state,

· So if what you eat is nutritionally deficient,

Or contaminated by toxic or synthetic chemistry - if this is what you take in - it becomes what you are made off

What you think or how you think it becomes your reality,

· To have a balanced view of life is a balancing act

One must communicate with the aspects of self -

“A balanced state of mind = 80% positive · 20% negative

Nothing in denial

Open communication in the total self

What you do and eat has an impact on you physical body,

Your mind, your financial status,

Your relationships, your energy levels,

Your happiness levels, your ability to see clearly, in fact all aspects of your reality.
